The fifth solo release from guitar virtuoso Mike Campese, Hidden Treasures, is a mainly all acoustic release, featuring some of Mike's best guitar playing to date. This is not your ordinary acoustic CD, as if offers a very colorful mix of different musical textures, featuring Mike's virtuosity on the acoustic guitar. From the super fast, acoustic shred lines on the song "Behind The Wheel", the high speed Flamenco-style picking on "The Race Across The Desert", and the percussive slapping on "Y-Not", to the beautiful fingerstyle picking on "High
Above The Clouds", Hidden Treasures has a blend of rock, jazz, blues, new age and classical styles. The track "Not Just Jazz" clearly proves this. Campese even does a tune with mainly all harp harmonics titled "Sunkin Ships". Mike sings on two tracks "Hawaiian Nights" and "Promises" - both tracks featuring catchy, beautiful melodies. This is the CD Mike always wanted to do to express his passion and love for the acoustic guitar.
Instrumental Guitar (Acoustic/Rock/World), total running time, 52:22 - Mike Campese @ iTunes!
