Mike Campbell.

Mike in the spotlight last night. He is so amazing on the guitar. When you mention best guitarists around right now you cannot forget this one. He is outstanding.
Mike is one of those guys who you have heard and may not even know it. A master who doesn't really seek the spotlight he has supported many who are the best at what they do. If you want to see some of the people he has worked with outside of being the co-captain of Tom Petty's group - this is a quote from Tom's stage introductions I have heard several times in person....go to this link:

Oh a final note on this picture. You can't see Mike's shirt but it reads: "Mudcrutch for President." I'll vote for him...
