    there's plenty of covers of Vai, Satch etc on CZcams.. ever wondered why no one posts covers of Gambale? Because very few people in the world can play like that! Total control of technique, melody and harmony.

      @mesabman Před 7 měsíci +4

      And he's really mastered economy picking, which is a different animal than alternate picking! It's not necessarily harder or better, just different.

      I’m sure thier are guitarist who should be able to cover this one. Most likely. But you are correct I’ve searched through guitarist copy frank gambale’s licks. I have searched for franks descending sweep pattern I’ve seen twice, frank plays it live extending the descending sweep pattern fire ball fizzing out colors, appear ‘scal uler’ leathery hide patterns.

    Frank is so fun to watch play. He just plays with such ease, right in the pocket yet his lines are so intricate but he's jamming right on time with the rhythm section the whole time. It's hard to find a player who can rack your brain yet have you jiving & tapping your foot at the same time.

    @CharfishDesign Před 2 měsíci +1

    Man, it is amazing how clean Frank plays. Especially with all the sweeping and finger rolls with distortion on top.

  • @colinnash2390

    Been following Frank from the Chick Corea years and he never disappoints. An amazing technician and unique in my view. What a player. And he makes it look so effort less. This is just the tip of what he can do.....Shredding for fun.

    @48mastadon Před 8 lety +18

    I love how he blends his sweep picking seamlessly with his alternate picking. Amazing musicality.

    • @mesabman
      @mesabman Před 7 měsíci +1

      He actually utilizes sweep picking, alternate picking, and economy picking. And you are right that this guy is phenomenal with such great musicality!

    I recently saw him with Return to Forever. He is simply an incredible guitar player. A friend of mine was fortunate enough to get to spend an afternoon with him and has nothing but good things to say. He is a humble, down-to-earth man who just happens to have insane guitar chops. He's worked hard, has loads of talent, and the new Carvin signature model is not only beautiful, but it sounds just wonderful. He plays them in concert, and they certainly suit his playing style very well.

    Great tune! Approachable, yet advanced. Groovy, gritty and loaded with style. And of course, outrageously masterful playing as well. Frank has such efficiency of finger movement! Like he's barely touching those frets. Awesome!

    Frank I bought a bunch of CDs from you when you were performing at Lavalie in L.A.. Are used to put it on my music player before I got on my bike. One day came on my playlist well I was in the midst of a major decent. That music pushed me to limit that I've never gone to before. You are a true inspiration. Plus that song is very special to me as we both went through that shaker together

    Impossível não notar a ténica exuberante de Frank Gambale, mas o que me impressiona mais é o seu senso melódico, harmônico. É um maestro com um feeling impressionante , tive a honra de vê-lo ao vivo. Foi um momento único de felicidade plena poder viajar nas suas notas, regadas de ritmo e feeling impressionantes . Gambale is magic musician.
