Biography

At the age of 19, Belfast-born guitarist Vivian Campbell made his recording debut with Ronnie James Dio on the now classic Holy Diver album and was immediately recognized as one of the hottest new talents on the metal scene. In 1987, his monster chops helped him land a touring gig with Whitesnake. He next formed the blues-based rock outfit the Riverdogs. Then, in 1991, he was asked to join Def Leppard, with whom he still plays today. Additionally, he has released a solo blues record titled Two Sides of If.

I love the site — the G-Plus Songs are phenomenal. The ability to loop sections and slow them down, plus have a professional walk you through it and explain what's happening and suggest fingering is invaluable. This is the best guitar site on the web!

I used to fight through poorly written, online guitar tabs only to set myself up for pain by wasting hours learning partially correct songs and riffs. With GuitarInstructor.com, I immediately knew I was getting exactly what I was looking for — high-quality content
