I really like the lead guitarist - Mike Campbell. He’s always very tasteful. I assumed he and Petty used alternate tunings or some trick to get the guitars to sound so chimey but I was all wrong. Campbell (and Petty too?) used the regular old guitar tuning with usual voicing utilizing open strings. And I realized that I actually tend to like Campbell’s guitarwork and the musicianship of other members of the band a lot more than the songs themselves.
Never heard Tom Petty before, but don’t chalk it up to age. I’m just one of the lucky 10.000 today
