A live performance (2 Disc Set - CD/DVD) by Italian guitarist, Pino Forastiere. Filmed in late-2008; the performance is both beautiful and technically stunning at the same time.

Italian guitarist, Pino Forastiere is a remarkable virtuoso. His techniques and musical ideas are a true mix of acoustic and classical guitar styles.

"The music is something like a mix of Steve Reich’s interlocking rhythmic patterns meet Michael Hedges’s techniques, all while admiring Eddie van Halen..." John Schaefer - WNYC Radio - New York City

"Like Hedges, Forastiere employes a dazzling blend of slapping, tapping, strumming, altered tunings and harmonics. However, he also combines those elements with classical phrasing and a focus on distinct and addictive melodies." Anil Prasad, Guitar Player
