Okay, let's see what you have. Just for reference, he has an Allmusic entry but no profile [1], and he doesn't have any hits on Google News. Some reviews pop up in searches but the albums are either self-released or on very small-time labels. Chubbles (talk) 18:23, 14 December 2007 (UTC)
Well, his CD's are on itunes and amazon and a bunch of places. The main thing is that he writes lessons for major guitar magazines like, Guitar Player, Guitar World and more. Here is a couple links I ran across on the net. http://www.guitarplayer.com/article/supernatural-blues-scale/jun-06/21068
This is a video from Guitar World mag lesson...... http://www.forumeter.com/tag/betcha
Also I know he has been a member of the multi platinum band The Trans-Siberian Orchestra and his music was in a Lions Gate film. I ran across this link.... http://www.broadalbin.org/arts/mike.php
He was also on a CD that was released international with Jason becker etc http://www.seaoftranquility.org/reviews.php?op=showcontent&id=91
These are just some info I found http://en.allexperts.com/e/m/mi/mike_campese.htm
I'm sure there is a lot more stuff out there, these are just some I ran across to back up my info on the Wiki page I want to write......Googlyezes
- This sounds like something of a borderline case. Campese's writings in Guitar Player would probably fall under the Wikipedia guidelines for writers, or even academics, rather than musicians. Some of these sources would probably be challenged as unreliable. Also, it appears that Campese himself attempted to make his own article several times last year, which makes it harder for me to argue that he deserves one unless it's a slam-dunk case. Let me see if I can get access to Lexis-Nexis some time this month, and I can check and see if I can find any major publications where he was featured. Chubbles (talk) 15:11, 17 December 2007 (UTC)
I know he writes lessons in those major magazines, I ran across them a few times, Guitar World and Guitar Player. To me it would fall under guitarists. You really have to look at those links I gave you, a lot of that info is all over the net. Those are just a few I ran across to base my story off of. I was looking in the history and I know he had a page a while back for a few years and was originally edited by a Wiki editor, I was surprised to see he does not have one. Someone could of tried to edit it and messed it up, if you want to see what I wrote from the info I gathered I can post it here for you to look at. I really like the pages you created and hoping you can help me out so I can get better at this. Googlyezes
