Gambale Blazes his Credit Reference Blues

[@alecdawson1668]

It's ridiculous how economical his motions are... no wasted movement.

[@cleanhit777]

His touch is just so light and yet his hands look immensely strong.

[@coisa985]

cleanhit777 agreed, for me to get his same pinch harmonic attack sound, I really need to pick my notes harder, but here u can see he does it effortsly lightly

[@correametal]

Best guitar player ever!!! Everything he plays sounds completely amazing and mesmerizing, technical and beautiful at the same time. Simply magnificent!!!

[@iLanFrid]

I watched this several times and it's plain Insane. But then I watched this in half speed and it became clear that it is even more Insane than originally thought.

[@thewestfaceofdhaulagiri6697]

His version of this on his live album in 1989 is absolutely burning.

[@johnculjak1798]

So melodic. Thanks Maestro!

[@johnnygodel7531]

Frank Gambale, the master of the masters.

[@Greco-Romano]

I want Frank in G3 !!

[@FabrizioPeretti]

This.

[@rockysullivan4097]

Frank is like good red wines... Better and better

[@jefffelderman2409]

Perfection with soul. Alienistic level of playing and musicality!

[@samkant9159]

I am not talking about the regular listeners but the guitarists themselves need to be educated or grammatically knowledgeable to understand what’s going on there the stuffs he is playing!! Wow 🤩

[@Hollowguit]

The 1987 live with CRB on it was the first cd I purchased. What a record !!!

[@binio28]

This is so great. I started FG school 1 year ago and after one year of learning sweep quite a lot of things became possible. I could play along Passages, Frankly Speaking and some other bits and riff that were not possible before. Also playing is now pleasant to do as it it easier then ever before. Frank had never been my type of guitar god but during pandemic I decided ...why not to do something different for a change and learn how to sweep. It was worth it. It restored confidence in my playing and the course is done such way that even if I hear licks that feel impossible I have got a confidence that with FG method I will get them under my fingers sooner or later. I took up another course 'Peace and harmony' that seems a adventure for 2022.

[@dennisapplegate7553]

Outstanding sounds to me you have learned two of the most important lessons a musician can learn. One , progress is not possible without deviation from the norm. Two , the road to perfection is a journey not a destination and along that road lies the Joy's of discovery. Well done !

[@yaybestos]

The Thunder From Down Under ! That was beautiful.

[@fruitcakedrifter1286]

What a wonderful artist ...a national treasure from down under!!! Our true connection to Chick!!!

[@CarloRegadasGuitar]

I remember buying the CD on import back in the days. Still as terrifyingly good over three decades later.

[@AMAR-ym7sz]

Wow this is one of Frank's really old ones. Glad to hear him dust it off. It's the First song I ever heard from him.

[@johnnygodel7531]

The master of the masters.

[@jasontinker6686]

That’s why Frank is the master. Amazing phrasing as usual and effortless technique. No one comes close.

[@MrDaveaccord]

The original THUNDER FROM DOWN UNDER!!!!!!!

[@bensallaboutmusicchannel4609]

This guy is sometimes underestimated as a "just" technical fast-player but he is much more. His musicality is unbelievable and about his technical skills there is nothing left to say. Thank you Frank, you put guitar after Wes Montgomery, Joe Pass, Hendrix and Van Halen to the next playground of possibilitys. Cheers Ben

[@jielangone7475]

I have to say Hendrix is NOT even qualify to tie Frank's shoes lace, please do not beat me up...I am serious 😂

[@KONAMAN100]

There was a reason Chick Corea signed him for the CCEB - he's the best! That face at 4:25, he was pretty stoked with that liddle performance.

[@jielangone7475]

He is FIRE, his music is pure bright energy, whenever I feel sick, I just listen to his music... his music, my medicine!

Marvelously beautiful!!! 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

Good old Frank ! I love this style 🤟

[@albinullanger7862]

The fact alone that there is somebody able to play this is crazy. But to do so while contantly making the same facial expressions i do when i hear fantastic news is 🤯🤯🤯

[@erictripton]

Frank, this tune off your live album got me through some hard times, and some inspiring times!!! By far one of my favorite live solos to listen to. Thank you, sir.

[@gtrDan1963]

Wow... Going all the way back to "Brave New Guitar" for this track ! Many people don't realize that was 35 years ago ! Was surprised not to see the FG 2 for this one, as Frank played either a modified Strat or a Kramer on the original ; That was before the Ibanez endorsement, heck, even before his days with Chick ! But deep down, I'm a thin-line guitar guy at heart and I love the FG 1 ! Super performance, Frank ! After listening to you for nearly 40 years, you still never cease to amaze me !!!

Master Frank

[@sonicstoryteller]

Stunning performance best wishes from UK England Shrewsbury 👍🎸 Phil 👍

[@dennisapplegate7553]

There are plenty great guitarist out there.Very few have been life changing for the guitar world. IMO Les Paul and Frank Gamble are at the top of my list because they truly changed the world of guitar playing so dramatically. To round out my personal top 6 would Frank Zappa, Jeff Beck Allen Holdsworth and of course Eddie Van Halen. Without these six. IMO music would not be what it is without these guys .Today's up and coming players seem to forget we all stand on the shoulders of those who came before us.

[@davederoux3361]

But Zappa?

[@dennisapplegate7553]

@@davederoux3361 Yes ,Frank .I had the pleasure of teaching Adrian Belew Chinese martial arts for approx two years. Right when he joined King Crimson when he lived in Champaign Il. Now I've been playing over 60 yrs. And of course I picked his brain at every opportunity. When Frank hired him he couldn't read sheetmusic . So one of the conditions was he had to move in with Frank with his family and study music theory. It was supposed to be for 6 mo.s turned out to be alittle over two years. Adrian said that the main thing he got from the time with Frank was the ability to play in very odd time signatures. If you can find it in an interview Steve Vai. He said the real gift Frank had was to find that one thing that a musician could do better than anyone else . Then he would exploit the living shit out of it. IMO Frank was a composer that happened to play guitar. His understanding of music theory was way beyond almost everyone else . But what made him so special was the fact he was a great teacher and mentor to members of his bands .He pushed them to achievements they couldn't even comprehend when they started. Just look at his roster of talent. And where they went after their time with Frank was over. I would suggest you look deep into Frank's catalog. Especially music like Black page ,Valley of the Sun ,Zombie wolf , Apostrophe. I consider him to be the greatest composer of the last century. When Dweezil decided to go out and play Frank's music he went to Frank Gamble for help to play all the seemly impossible solos . That speaks volumes about the complexity of Frank Zs music and solos . Albums to check out would be Apostrophe, One Size fits all , The best band you never heard , and Shut up and play your guitar . If you do take the time to check them out I would love to hear what you think . Enjoy the Frankness .

[@Tmidiman]

Seriously, if you haven’t signed up for Frank’s online classes you are missing out on some quality instruction. And Frank, once again those not choices are freaking perfect. See you in again Chicago soon!

next live tune " Natives are restless" probably the most hardest difficult song on your career, not only it has most difficult rythm strumming pattern, the live version solo is defitnely uncopiable. No wonders there's no cover of tha in youtube 😂
