there's plenty of covers of Vai, Satch etc on KZbin.. 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]

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

[@erikeklunds]

such a master! @@mesabman

[@dannyhood4007]

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.

[@themusic6808]

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.

[@danieldesouza3874]

He's incredible. Groovy yet very technical.

[@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]

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

[@mesabman]

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

[@CharfishDesign]

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

[@guitarttimman]

Frank can rock, jazz, and rip better than anyone I've ever seen! Sounding great!

[@jerryehamric]

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.

[@MarkoTManninen]

Simply phenomenal phrasing power, no strange whamming, slapping, punching, drumming, and scrapping guitars. Good old fashion days.

[@sansocie]

Miles and miles of smiles every time I hear Frank play !

[@ssdtrain1]

i saw frank live in 1994, and he is still a Badass!! just like he was then,, great to see him still RIPPIN IT UUUUUP!

[@KaijuAlert]

Incredible, what a stunning performance. Technical mastery, while looking relaxed and having fun - not easy to do!

[@rmirabelle]

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!

[@johnnypaytonbender]

Very well said!!

[@spkay31]

Can't get enough of FG's playing, a real master at work!

[@its_the_time_to_discourse]

I don't know how he manages to be so fast, so clean, so melodic, all at the same time!

[@ripfrets900]

God l love this tune..!! What a master of the sweep & guitar in general..!!! Effortless. playing..!! ROCK ON

[@billcox199]

It's the Carvin chanel Vibro , Frank is just awesome and can play and teach anything. And can read.

[@Rael0505]

Raw talent... love all the shredding he does when the rock organs come in. He's amazing! And his guitar is beautiful, as are all carvins. Beautiful instruments make beautiful music.

[@vicg995]

Frank Gambale, you are awesome!!!

[@pablitodiaz72]

"Passages"... great album.

[@jalguitarman]

Awesome playing by Mr. Gambale. Sweet axe as well!!

[@tony2tone1985]

haters gonna hate, frank is literally the most technical player in the guitar biz

[@manuelpassarella]

I had the privilege to meet him when he did a tour with classical guitar player Maurizio Colonna. Frank gambale was out of this world... Colonna on par with him.

[@RobotChampionSC]

No hate from me, Frank is one my favorite guitarists...dude is a freaking savage

[@craneoperator4]

been a Gambale fan for many years ...from Chick Corea on

Wow what a great way of interpreting the song, clean, impecable technique, perfection!

[@DanBrown5702]

Wow! Tremendous player! Among the best! How'd I miss this guy so long! Damn!

[@johnchase3920]

I keep coming back to watch this… Absolutely smokin’! Love ya, Frank👍

[@MrStratocaster1949]

Where in the world have I been? This is the first I've heard of Frank Gambale but I certainly like what I hear. Fantastic guitarist. Definitely knows what he's doing.

[@elusivelectron]

There is so much awesomeness coming from Carvin and PRS guitars. My top two brands.

[@JP-hb4mv]

Frank can play anything perfectly - plus he is creative himself

[@VegasCyclingFreak]

I've always loved this tune

[@woz240]

you sir are fucking amazing!

[@scottmcdaniel2646]

Absolutely love every second.

[@michaelpaulos420]

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

[@love68]

Legend! I discovered him in the early 90s playing with Chick Corea.🤘🔥🤘

[@FireAwayProductions]

I love his glances at the camera. Fabulous playing

[@sjirk]

Keep coming back to these videos of Gambale on the Carvin channel and indeed.. mmmm.. mmmm..!!!

[@look19]

The Thunder from Down Under, indeed.

[@TerminusCOBHC]

Now THIS is a dude from which I would thoroughly like to get a guitar lesson.

[@tmarks]

2022 ... Still watching this every year ....

[@lops888]

God, what a lovely man!!

[@user-nv2wt4hi8t]

Frank Gambale, without shadow of a doubt, is the most satisfied man in the world and I love it.

[@bicycleutopia]

i dont play the guitar....so its not his technical ability...i have no idea. what blows me away is how compelling his musical expression is!!! i have a lot of frank gamble's records...terrific!

[@umrasangus]

He´s kinda basic to me but the way he plays just makes it really incredible. He totally put me in the whole world of Jazz with Alain Caron and Allan Holdsworth.

[@McMinnManiac]

kind of reminds me of weather report , Frank can get a sax sound in his lines that is nice

[@Krylov19]

How am I only discovering this guy now ? He is so good, playin with so much feeling, that's awesome.

[@kristijanpoklecki6098]

Fluid playing and supreme command of the instrument. And his phrasing is very much cliché-free. Very rare combination.

[@RosarioBellassai]

Sick and smooth! I think I'm going to practice now!

[@MarcoZambon606]

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.

[@MrTiagoinvb]

1:15 that phrase is that? beautiful beautiful beautiful!! Gambale master

[@xaviergostanian6398]

Frank Gambale est un super musicien, avec les autres qui l'accompagnent pour construire une mélodie prenante !!! merci énormément !!!

[@lazybones69]

I'm pleasantly surprised that I ended up here because of Syn from A7X, this guy is the shit!

[@TTridata]

Another great guitar player endorsed by Carvin is Allan Holdsworth, check him out if you want: /watch?v=0DD2G-TfZOA

[@lazybones69]

[@dcastro6133]

Genius! Great guitar player of nowadays! Thank you mister Gamble for your music!

[@gordiebrown8886]

JUST AWESOME! ...FRANK GAMBALE IS SUPERB!!!

[@NigelGuitar]

Always enjoy Franks playing like that at 4:33

[@nancieredekop1846]

Saw Frank in the 80's @ the Namm show in Anaheim, he and a bass player were "holding court" in the Ibanez booth, and taking on all comers including some high profile players. He blew them all away, plus Frank also had hair then!!!

[@maru3194]

Probably the best.

[@robonez]

Amazing!!! Killer groove and super-tasty playing! \m/

[@GregClarkMusic]

Incredible!

[@bernarddzialach8890]

i idolized this guy

[@bernarddzialach8890]

***** Thank U

[@xaviergostanian6398]

Un super guitariste, un des meilleurs !!!

[@MrDizzyvonclutch]

Man……12 years ago!

[@TvPguitarist]

Every note he plays in this clip is tasteful. He's not playing fast just because he can.

[@felipelaser1763]

Tasteful AND shreddy? Wha..whaa….whaaaaat?? I need to sit down for a sec guys.

[@motorcitysmitty]

That was the mmmm...mmmmm..... at the beginning!

[@bobs.stevenson9704]

personally i dont think his style is 'shred', he might pass through it occasionally.

[@pjvillanueva3692]

Astonishing!!!

[@BFJMinas]

Very nice man! You are the guy!!! Great guitar.

[@defleppardsucks5189]

He always makes it look so easy.

[@felipecamargog]

Gênio!!! Genius!!!

[@panelacosmica]

Perfection is perfected by the great Frank

[@nij0718]

このウォームで艶感のある倍音が心地良いリードトーンは、何度聴いてもとても素晴らしいと感じるし、自分もギターでこんな音を出してみたいといつも思う。 リアピックアップを使った上でのこのスムースなピッキングニュアンスは、職人芸と言わざるを得ない。

[@spookybaba]

He really is a mellow, humble guy. I mean, he just makes it look so easy. You must be able to figure out, just by his expressions, that he's just having fun. I love that fick up note in the riff, right in the last phrase. Shows he' still human

[@yefleo2582]

Que linda guitarra....

[@Jdawg_357]

jesus christ his picking technique is amazing

[@KiraPlaysGuitar]

Yeah. Man that is the kicker; he's so known for his sweep technique, and his economy picking is smooth as hell, but he can also alt pick like a boss when it calls for it.

[@aitorimaz7106]

Oh Frank! & Kiesel Guitars on my mind

[@charliehustlenflow]

i love it when the best jazz musicians cool out on some blues or rock man

[@aleaallee]

I was just noodling around in my guitar and accidentally discovered the intro to this song, I was happy because it was the only part I can play, the rest is lvl 999 while I'm a lvl 5 guitarist xD.

[@JohanJpPaul]

That's super COOL!

[@viniguitarjazz]

FANTASTIC IS FRANK GAMBALE

[@GuillermoPintoG]

Here for Loreeeeeeee

[@lorenzmuller3542]

[@slavayab181]

Lorenz Müller He means LoreMaryLuGT

[@lorenzmuller3542]

Don't know that.

[@VictorHora]

Fico pensando como ainda tem um pessoal que desmamou ontem querer criticar esse perfeito gênio das seis cordas. Ninguém é obrigado a gostar, mas se não gosta, fique quieto em respeito ao legado musical desse monstro!

[@guitarczar15]

so clean

[@MICKEYISLOWD]

The coolest of all Katz! Love Gambers.

[@jukelox9292]

Beautiful!

[@dmimcg]

I just bought a guitar- never played before and have mastered smoke on the water. I think I'm ready to learn that diddy. wish me luck.

[@Michael-fn7iv]
