About 2 years into playing guitar I bought a Frank Gambale VHS (yep) on speed picking techniques. He literally invented the 3 note per string formula for economy picking. 25 years later I still can't do a single thing from that video 😂
-
I think we under estimate Frank Gambale's impact as a fashion icon.
-
just looking at the band members send shivers down the spine: Corea, Patitucci, Gambale, Weckl, Marienthal... what a band!
-
Remember, with Frank, it’s not only about the sweeps, it’s about the tune. Just look at the transcription.
-
It has to be said that Frank's phrasing, use of rhythmic groupings, use of technique and all is really on a different level musically- a real guitar virtuoso and innovator
-
By far one of if not THE MOST EFFICIENT GUIATRIST EVER. The stuff he plays is off the cuff, complex, melodically sound and he does it EFFORTLESSLY. Absolutely monster.
-
Amazing, I don’t think franks playing has been studied enough over the years.
-
Don't know whats more impressive Frank's guitar playing or the time it took to transcribe every note
-
Frank lived over the road from me in Canberra, Australia. His bro' Nunzio - a top bass player himself; was in my class at school. We were mates. I remember Nunz inviting me over to hear the new song Frank was playing. 'Dark Star' by the Grateful Dead (as in Gerry Garcia). Note perfect. Frank was 6 or 7 years old!!
-
And besides the sweeping, which is incredible, let's not overlook the amazing melodic choices over the band's backing track
-
The GOAT ! That entire band are The GOATs of their crafts.
-
Frank is not only a killer musician, but also a really nice guy. Had the honor of interviewing him for a podcast and I was impressed at his openness to share valuable information.
-
Alex Hutchings is the man, he keeps the fire burning ... 😁
-
Had the great pleasure of studying under Frank for a year at LAMA and it was a mind blowing experience every time he taught class. He's so good it's hard to fathom. Crazy transcription too man.
-
Gambale came straight from the gym to rip through this insane improv solo lmao. One of the greatest to ever do it!
-
Gambale is an insanely talented guitarist and even now is amazing. I love his playing. He is a huge inspiration.
-
He's an absolute monster. The tone that he produced in this era is also absolutely beautiful. His efficiency and clarity combined with his musicality are truly outstanding. To this day.
-
First day of school at MI I told Frank he will win the guitar player of the year award and he did. That was before he was sweeping 1983. Super nice guy.

when frank rocks back and forth like a penguin that's how you know he's IN IT
