    Even if you don't know the name Mike Campbell, you have definitely heard his guitar. Campbell has been by Tom Petty's side from the get-go, having made the journey from Gainesville to LA in 1974. Over the decades, Mike was in arguably the best band in the world, and with Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers, he helped create some of the most iconic American music ever.
