Fantastic performance from Frank here. Brilliant, really.

[@f001sg0ld]

I love this guy. That is the melody one had in my head for the last year. Something that is abstract yet has many pop or catchy qualities. I love those type of melodies and the bass is pumping a super catchy pop riff. Now to discuss that solo. I'll just say I'll go crazy if I try to learn it... wow, found my new favorite guitarist! Hahalol

[@jielangone7475]

well, chill dude...he is epic! I listen to him in 2004, not this piece...BUT he is a great composer....

[@ivonsmith4255]

This recording is from his instructional VHS tape from around 1987. His skill and career have grown massively over the last 35 years too. He’s been a dedicated teach too.

[@maziku4749]

i think this is my favourite frank song

[@markjacobs8200]

Mine might be either leave ozone alone or robo roo, although this one's great too. And the solo is great too, though that might usually be teh case with frank.

[@Will-oo6ef]

faster than an arrow has some great tidbits in it too especially the album end solo, little charmer is pretty cool too some how it seems like he got overlooked in those times...

[@Leit0]

i think theres strong chance this song may be dedicated to a dog frank had, named "Spike"

[@johannej3241]

Great explorers and little charmer is my personal favorite. And he’s the the reason why I own Ibanez prestige S series guitar.

[@sandblastskin]

Probably my favorite song that Frank does.

[@MateoBakija]

4:04 Dat dance move though :D Frank is a beast player, love this song.

[@HRT--]

[@WILLIANSOUTO]

Great Frank!

[@nickpistritto3493]

Unbelievable dance moves LOL he is unbelievable though

[@TheMatacus]

Una de las mejores canciones de guitarra de la historia y tiene solo 476 likes es increíble

[@1992YR]

One of the best instrumentals of all time!

[@PatrikWalzer-lt2qo]

Just love it.

[@emgex]

I would rather listen to this the whole day than to mindles milion notes per second playing...

[@josephblow5946]

Some of those signature sweep-picking licks fall under the "million notes per second" category. But unlike the 80's speed demons in Rock/Metal, the Jazz element makes it more melodic and harmonically complex.

[@emgex]

Yes that shredding makes sense and its melodic its not just shredding for the sake of it like lets say malmsteen or michael angelo batio... Not that they are bad guitarists by far, but it isnt melodic and they do it just to show off.

[@phj11206]

picking awesome

[@Baserri]

Classy, tasty, virtuosism at its best.

[@mikeysanderson6618]

I feel like im in a soap opera of virtuosity lolz

[@ChadRosas]

❤️

[@josuemorales540]

The best

[@nathanmantle377]

Stare at the background lol.

[@WingerRattDokken]

Amazing jazz tone on a shredder guitar

[@Minotauro_di_Chieti]

Most idiotic comment ever. #ytidioticcomments

[@mikeysanderson6618]

So finesse...its like love making music but shred...so sick

[@cheloericmendoza]

Once a month I need to come back to see this video, is not the best quality for hearing the song. But Frank really gets you trough the feeling and joy of playing it.

[@clarkrichardson5846]

Ayyyeeeeee

[@luckyvr39163]

Interesting sound of the time sax sound

[@wu2king842]

I like it. It's almost cello like

[@dariuscameron5174]

Who is Spike?? I've been wondering for like 20 years.... lmao

[@Leit0]

Good chance it was a dog FG used to own :)

[@Rayquesto]

I hope it is Spike Spiegel.

[@luckyvr39163]

Wow

[@gmailaccountk406]

I wonder why he doesn't use this tone anymore

[@janderson2000]

Sounds less watered-down (and better) than he usually has...

[@Will-oo6ef]

i agree the only thing with this tone it could have been recorded a little better with the post record reverb they put on it. if they had more modern equipment it would be incredible. he had his nicest tone on those early saber type ibanez. check out his clinic uploaded... you can hear the tone better without the reverb beautiful tone.

[@ruinezguitar9550]

Its all commercial, big companies forcing guitar players to use their new amps and effect pedals and that way they get the "modern" sound. Rarely anyone gets the 80s guitar sound now coz of the companies pushing new modernized stuff constantly.

[@bobs.stevenson9704]

Its alot more basic than you think one of the things he does is not scoop the mids out, alot of players at the time took all the mids out of the sound. As far as new gear the DV Mark amps he plays now sound good to me.

[@gmailaccountk406]

yeah he sounds good still. These licks would sound sick in an Eric Johnson tone lol!!!

[@joefoster9303]

Little bit of Shawn Lane mixed in

[@TheRobsantos777]

Zero deslike👍

[@jielangone7475]

that is why he is EPIC!

[@wu2king842]

Where my transcripter masters at? Lol

[@wu2king842]

2:10

[@Ahtnagarp]

that fucking solo possible to do by humans?

[@wu2king842]

It is if your Frank lol

[@Rayquesto]

Spike Spiegel?

[@merickwiliam5427]

I no like Musyc ZAZ Like Rock Metal

[@josephblow5946]

You like Rock and Metal more, because it's harmonically and technically inferior to any type of Jazz, therefore makes it more commercially appealing and easier to listen to. I can understand that. You must be an older person. The younger crowd hardly listens to Rock and Metal anymore. Rock and Metal hasn't been that popular with the young crowd since the 90's, when Rap and Hip Hop took over the mainstream music scene.
