2 very underrated players

Ah Vivian Campbell, one of many great Irish guitarists :)

I am impressed with the speed at which you are releasing quality vids. Thanks for the wisdom. Rock on

I had Alibi by Vandenberg on cassette years ago. Wore it out. Recently found it on KZread. Great for the time . Vivians performance with Dio, Last in Line live from Philadelphia is legendary . Thanks for keeping these great guitarists viable on your channel. ✌️

I LOVE your Channel!! See your other videos... Van Halen 1 and 2, Dokken, Extreme, Whitesnake, ...all of them are muy favourit guitar players. Thanks for sharing! You got a new subscriber. ; )

Love some Vandenberg licks. Burning heart was a killer tune.

I like the solo in "Welcome to the Club".

Thanks again... slowly coming out of a rut... your videos are helping.. thank you sir 🤘

I love both of these amazing featured guitarists!!! Thanks again, David!

I always dug Vandenberg even before Whitesnake and saw Campbell twice with Dio that dude had some chops! Hard to ignore the blur of notes Sykes played on the Still of the Night solo, he is an underratred Guitarist for sure. Great video!

I saw Vandenberg (the band) in 1982 at Hammersmith Odeon, they were supporting the Michael Schenker Group. That was a great evening of guitar. I also saw Vandenberg and Campbell play with Whitesnake . Adrian is a good player in my book.

Good one!!!! Thank you for putting this out!!!

Yeah I covered that Burning heart song many yrs ago by Vandenberg who also sounds a lot like John sykes who also was in whitesnake and hes a terrifick song writer n guitar player..I like that 3 piece band John created Blue Murder..wow what a talent..Glad I found your channel again

Cool tee shirt! Thanks for more Whitesnake riffs .. that first lick is killer! And damn, you are a great guitarist in your own right David.

Great video Dave , keep em comin'

Vivien Campbells old Hot licks VHS video is an amazing watch and explains how guitarists such as Gary Moore influenced licks such as the one featured here. Great tuition here of some great players here, love watching your videos

REALLY love Your taste in guitar players. The lessons are perfect in every way! Thanks for sharing. Already learned those 3 cool Greg Howe licks and posted them too.

Adrian is one of my favorite heros. Dave, great lesson!

Good one Dave!!! Ready for a Late Night Lessons Vernon Reid!!! Monster guitar player!!! Pretty Please!!!🤘😎👍❤🎸

Another great session! I remember seeing two shows from ☝🏻 this (Whitesnake w/ Bad English opening) tour in S.and N.Carolina in 1988. Sincere thanks for what you do Mr. Latenightlessons, you are doing God’s good work 🤘🏼

Hey I just now saw your videos and I’m very impressed with the way you have a lot of unknowns about the players and then the awesome play throughs is more than just a look at the playing but detailed effectively and easy to understand !!! Awesome awesome awesome bro thanks

Excellent stuff. Love both of these guys!!!

Your Late Night Lessons are so enjoyable! I absolutely love these.

Those Peavey Vandenbergs were some of the best playing guitars of the era.

Excellent video !!!

Even though I've never really listen to either player much, I'd say the melodic licks in this make it my favourite Three For all so far, I've watched almost all of them. I've never been a DIO fan or a Whitesnake fan, so it was a pleasant surprise :D

Ha ha! This kind of stuff takes me back to the 80's when I was trying to figure out all the cool licks from the big players! The iconic GUITAR solo's! I used to love to go to concerts just to see what these guys would have up their sleeves for their solos! Goo stuff! These are the kind of solos that I think Made Eugene's Trick Bag so cool! It was just that individual guitar that put out everything that player had! Thanks for the video!

Awesome lesson. I didn't think about it until now but the Peavey Vandenberg guitar and the Kramer Nightswan both had a 24.75 scale length. The Vivian Campbell lick you did at the end sounded awesome. He's been doing that one a long time. I watched him play it with Dio and Whitesnake. It's not easy to get the fingers rolling like that! And then Vandenberg was practicing so much that I think I remember reading he had to soak his hands in Epsom salts and permanently injured his hand. Sorry for the book! Loved the lesson!

Thanks I needed this. I just gotta learn his solo to Still of the Night

Yes! Two of my big requests

Definitely add some Adrian licks from his "Vandenburg" days.....Welcome to the club!!!!

You lessons never disappoint!!

Great licks, thanks for the lesson.

Yes Vivian C with DIO !! great job on these licks, i also dig Sykes & Vandenburg licks, can you plz do the Rainbow in the Dark solo next plz

I saw Whitesnake during the Slip of the Tongue tour and Adrian Vandenberg blew Steve Vai out of the water. It was very impressive.

Now that I've expelled all of my jealousy and self loathing, I admit I love the channel and your insight. I'm self taught with ZERO theory and have no idea why this note goes with that note, and to listen to it is almost like listening to Chinese, but I still come back. Keep pissing off all of us bedroom rockers because we actually love it.😁

thank you for knowledge

Those Vivian Campbell licks were awesome! Great job playing that!

Outstanding. You're a very good player.

Very valuable lesson again Dave. Thanks. Vivian's solo is very reminiscent of Gary Moore''s solo from his live album " We want Moore". Vivian is / was a huge fan of GM. I saw Vivian a few times in Dublin with a band called Sweet Savage in the early 80's a few months before he joined DIO. The rest is history.

I never paid any attention to Adrian but I always loved his Peavy signature ax. It is literally the only artist signature guitar I would want to own.

Thanks! Some interesting licks. That fast Vivian Campbell pattern is very Gary Moore, he used it a lot. I can’t wait for you to take a look at Michael Schenker’s playing 😃

*Awesome lick tutorial LNL!*

Some of the best quality lesson's you will find on KZread...

These vids are great, man. Thanks for doing 'em. One minor point, though- the self-titled Whitesnake was actually their seventh album, not their debut. Keep 'em coming!

Burning Heart was not only epic but Adrian's solo for that song was beautiful!

The Accelerando/ Pivot arpeggio is copyrighted at Gary Moore. Com 😁👍. Brilliant excersize thank you for posting. Made me smile when you were listing all the great players that had been in WS reminded me of Cov's one liner about Richie Blackmore's Raincoat due to the short working life expectancy and how that particular comment came back to bite him in the arse, metaphorically speaking. 🤣

"Blue Murder" MANNNN O' MAAAAAANNN!!!.... What an All-Star lineup that band had huh??!!!!...that album is an often-overlooked and underrated album that flew right under the 80s radar except for me and a few others like you we seem to be close in age I'm pushing 50.. you look to be a few years younger but if so you're holding up well bro....lol. all that 80s party and didn't do my face and no good... LMAO 🤣🤣 🤣... That blue murder record is such a good record Man!!!!

Bernie Marsden and Micky Moody were more classical , bluesy , and were so creative in their own style . Good job again David . You are my favourite KZread channel

**** I can see you are very passionate about guitar and you play very well!

Man I wish you would do a chordplay and three for all on thin lizzy. The classic line up of robbo and Gorham. They are always overlooked and criminally underrated. Thin lizzy Phil lynott greatest band ever

LATE NIGHT LESSONS, thanks for the video lesson on adrian and vivian. Did Vivian Campbell use harmonic minor licks and riff in DIO? I have seen doug Aldrich use that vivian campbell arpeggio lick using it in 3 octaves

Check out Adrian's group Moonkings

Love the videos. A smidge less talking in them, more playing please!

Vivian Campbell's band Shadow King with Lou Gramm on Vocals was my favourite Vivian album.

Thanks David. It would be helpful if you would give a brief explanation of the picking pattern. It's not always entirely clear what you're doing at times.

Dutch glory like Eddie Van Halen 😃👍🏼

Anybody else's brain still refuses to see Vivian in Def Leppard?

More from Vivian

I remember watching Vivian and one of his REH instructional videos. Or maybe it was RHE?

Vivian Campbell playing in Def Lep is like Mario Andretti driving a cab.

the Viv lick is real close to the Gary Moore pivot licks in End of the world...

Adrian & Viv were awesome together. When discussing Viv, you can’t forget Sweet Savage & Last In Line. Viv & Phil do an incredible “dueling guitars” solo live, too. What would be cool is hearing a Steve, Phil, Viv comparison. Messing Steve/Phil & Viv/Phil.

Hello David. Adrian and Vivian, two greats from the 80's. Funny, just noticed how both their names end with "ian." Would have been great to see Adrian join the others in Dio's Hearing Aid "We're Stars" guitar compilation. I remember attending a Vandenberg concert here in Corpus Christi, Texas. I think it was the Heading For A Storm tour. Adrian was sporting his, If I can remember, Zebra stripe shirt, blue spandex pants and white fur boots. I just can't remember who they toured with. Have you done a 3 John Norum Licks yet? If so, let me know, and I'll scroll through all your videos to watch. Anyway, Thanks for another great Licks video. Rock !! \m/

Hey, first time im seeing you/your videos. I just wanted to say that i hope you are making your own music or are in a band playing guitar and making music. Because i can see you very passionate about guitar and you play very well! I grew up with all of those 80s guitarists too and you sound just as proficient as they were. We need more of those 80s sounds today. SO if you arent already? Start doing your thing, and someday there will be a guy or girl making a video of some of YOUR BEST GUITAR WORK!!! : )

Hey Dave do you have a video that covers just arpeggios? I love the sound of them, but could never figure out what they're playing. I would love it if you could do an indepth dive into arpeggios... if you haven't already. Thanks! 😊

I was lucky enough to see that tour in Pensacola, Florida with one BIG exception. I guess Viv was out sick for a few dates so the lineup had Adrian Vandenburg and Steve Vai. This was post-"Crossroads" but pre-"Passion &Warfare" Vai so I didn't really know him all that well. Adrian just played rhythm while Vai took ever single solo. If I only knew then...

That wasn't the ''87 album tour, that would have been the Slip of the Tongue tour in 1989/90. Vai didn't have anything to do with Whitesnake until the start of the Slip of the Tongue sessions when Vandenberg injured his left hand and was unable to play guitar for I think it was almost a year. Vai was brought in and recorded all the guitar parts for the album, and by the time the album was released, and tour booked, Vandenberg was back in action and it was Vai and Vandenberg that done the tour

@@widdlemeister It actually was the "Whitesnake" tour because I saw them when I was still in high school. I saw the "Slip of the Tongue" tour in Jacksonville because it was closer to where I went to college. I believe the first time was in late spring or summer of 1987 and it was a re-scheduled show. Either way, it was a great show, I was just bummed to have missed Campbell since I was a fan before I moved here from England in 1984. Still would have preferred to see Sykes (who I later saw a few years after the "Blue Murder" release). Cheers.

very good video! who do you think is the best guitar player vivian or adrian? and because?

Hi! I was wondering if you (consciously) use circle picking? I see your right hand thumb flex quite a lot.

damm it, dude your the man on the licks ....whoa nellie

Before he joined Dio he was in a band called Sweet Savage and he was a total Gary Moore clone, with shred.

I prefer your channel over so many others for guitar content. AV is a superb melodic player. I love your Sykes lessons however can you do one specifically on Sykes pivot arpeggios from Blue Murder solos? Never sure how he does it!

9:28 is also a Gary Moore lick from his Dirty Fingers song

Dave - Recently discovered your channel and as gentlemen of a certain age, we both deeply admire many of the same players. At the risk of sounding like a 14 year old, do you Tab out your lessons and where can that material be found?

Those are nice licks. I desperately ripped those off as if they were mine when i first heard them.

How do you so quickly know all the notes? Your very talented and smart. I've been playing for 30 years and the other day I couldn't even tell my bass player what fret or note I was on.

John Sycker es la bestia del álbum 1987. Velocidad,arpegios,...harmonicos y feeling..............☠☠☠☠☠☠

Hi my name is Vincent. I went to the 87 Whitesnake concert and saw those solos and was blown away by them in Madison Square garden. I know you are showing the licks. The last one I'm interested in the pivoting note solo with Vivian Campbell. Can you write out the tab please. I would pay you for it. It would make a excellent exercise to practice to. Thank you for this video.

Another great lesson. I dare you to do some Vinnie Vincent from those solo albums. Riffs a plenty and chaotic solos

you should post time stamps of every solo on every video you do please,it´s difficult to scroll over the entire video each lick,i think most would agree

Life story or Licks ? I think there is some licks in the video somewhere guys

The eponymous Whitesnake album was far from the first or the debut. It was certainly more popular than the earlier albums, They had at least four or five albums before then, including Lovehunter, Saints and Sinners, Trouble and more. Next lesson suggestions: Dave Meniketti of Y&T, Uriah Heep and Savatage.

He covers what you're addressing about their album releases in his last video. When he calls it the "debut," it's either a slip of the tongue, or he means their big American debut, since it sold so many copies in the US.

@LateNightLessons

Hey! Yes, that came out wrong - totally! I meant John Sykes "debut" with the band, as Whitesnake formed in 1978 and had several line up changes over the decades/years. Coverdale seems to gut his band every 3-5 years and it's a trend that started a long time ago. Sorry for the "mouth goof" and not being more specific - my mouth gets me into trouble sometimes. I didn't notice I said that until you pointed it out - thank you for noticing! : )

I also really dig Coverdale's early song 'Queen of Hearts' which he recorded as a solo release and with Whitesnake. The version for his solo album kicks butt and should've been a popular song/single - it still sounds great today!

Yeah, can't confuse AV with Yngwie's arps... I love Adrian's melodic style much like Neil Schon's masterpieces.

Wonderful lesson ,I don't how you keep raising the bar Dave but you do. Are you close to a Steve Stevens lesson yet ? Finding your channel was one fabulous happy accident.

Individual Sequels/Follow-up videos for both of these great guitarists would be appreciated (when you get the chance), David. I want to learn about that chirpy staccato style Vivian uses so well with Dio on the 1st two albums. I remember reading in Guitar Player that he can't use his left hand ring finger very much for guitar (other than for bending). It bends chords out of tune. I'm not sure what's wrong with it.

What Seymours do have in that strat there, bud?

Please do something about Paul Kossoff
