Frank Gambale - Guitar Power 

We can see why Gambale is such a good teacher - he's a great communicator and thinks deeply about what he's doing.

What a wealth of information in under 13 minutes from Professor Frank Gambale. Thank you.

" I knew that I only had about 50% right, but that's ok, it was 50% more that I knew...." That's a great take-away ....

Please increase the amount of footage of Dweezil jamming with the guest. That's always a highlight.

This is absolutely too short.

I borrowed a video of my brother's in the early 90s called 'Modes: No more mysteries.' It was made by Frank Gambale, who at the time I hadn't heard of(embarrassingly). I watched the beginning and was awed by his playing, and continued with the instructional part. After about a 1/2 an hour I knew I was incapable of understanding the lessons because I didn't know enough theory. I realized it was time to quit playing or get on it. I decided to get on it, and I consider the work I did to understand the theory behind his lessons as the main reason I can view myself as a musician and not just a hack who plays the guitar. Beyond that, he introduced me to the concept of economy picking, which was something that came naturally to me as opposed to alternate picking, which I was struggling with. It was very affirming to see this guy blaze through licks and lend credibility to a technique I disregarded because everyone was putting forth alternate picking as the only path to pick up speed. Although I subsequently went to university and never made a career of music, I still love to play and I owe him a ton. Thank you sir. And thanks to Mr. Zappa and Da'ddario for the video.

Frank..... By far, the most underrated jazz player out there in the industry

What a great teacher.

Oh man...what a treat Too bad its so short

It was a hell of a interview for every musicians, thanks!

That was great!

I'm so happy that i found this today. I'm a big fan of both of these fellas. Didn't know these two ever met like this. Sick.

thank you thank you thank you thank you this was just brilliant,one of the real pillars of modern electric guitar Frank Gamble 💗🤘🤘🤘

That was the best thing I've seen on youtube ina long fucking time. Frank you are the man and Deeezil your style and passion on the guitar still shines. I could watch a series of you two.

I still miss Matt Sweeney, but Dweezil is doing a great job. Keep it up guys

Thank you Mr. Zappa for sharing this video and thank you to Mr. Zappa of his humbleness to open his guitar wisdom to the whole world. Hello from Jakarta, Indonesia🙏

Frank is an absolute joy

i met frank and he is a great guy as well as one of the best guitarist on earth.

definitely need more of this episode... please extend it!

Gambale, Holdsworth(RIP), and Llevano(from JLP's band)..... these 3 guys, along with FZ, JB and Ravi Shankar created my style.....

It´s just great to behold two monster players and artists talk music, background in such a chilled enviroment...! Love Frank´s music... such a humble being...

Gambale is one of the best all time !!

Let them have respect for Mr. Gambale as such: He had changed my playing for life ever since the 90,s thanks to God for creating this force of nature in a human format

This is the only "shredder," "technical virtuoso" stuff that's interested me at all in YEARS!... May need to dig up the key to the woodshed :P :D

What a music lexicon Frank has and his ability to articulate his knowledge is a well crafted as his guitar virtuosity.

I immediately had to watch this again. MORE MORE MORE of these two ...purty please?

Awesome show.... should be a standard 30 minutes....

he is so happy, just a little kid jamming

Great discussion. I enjoyed that.

Frank gambale is the only guitar player i can listen to all day Everyday no problem.

Monster monster player and a super nice guy to boot. Dweezil is a great interviewer as well.

Frank Gambale is an absolute monster!

2 masters! wow!

Thank you Frank Gambale

Italian night at D'Addario's!!!

Frank you are just amazing !!!

is there a dweezil guitar show? coz it needs to happen

Everytime I listen to Gambale I think to myself man this is crazy !

Frank is a great teacher.

Lot's of cool info packed into 12 minutes ~ good job!

Thanks gents... The last piece of the lesson is pure gold! Frank, you have become very scary as the ripened player you are. Will Dweezil interview himself?

Great stuff.

Dweezil brought out the effing legends for this show

Love or hate his style….Frank Gambale is a hella of nice dude and an excellent instructor!

Dweezil has the interviewing knack. Good stuff.

That last bit he played has Eric Johnson written all over it. Very cool feel.

El incomparable maestro Gambale

Brilliant player, nice guy.

I need more... Completely Awesome !

I met both of these guys...ages ago.

Still a legend

Frank is the man!

Awesome chat guys!

wow 2 de mis grandes guitar hero's!!!!

Frank looks like the most focused man ever

more

Love Dweezil!!

When is your next video? :D Keep it up!

It's hard to control accurate rhythm with sweep picking ( or economy picking ). I practice economy picking serval months , eventually give up and use alternate again !

longer videos pls

The 2nd to last lick at the end is the grim reaper

Such a humble guitar #master! ☆☆☆☆☆

Great vid guys. Thanks

Does anyone know what MIDI controller Gambale was using? Thanks.

Part 2??

Gm pentatonic over E7#9, sounds great

I think I would have to practice sweep picking for like 3 months until it becomes a natural movement.

where's the rest of it ? :

My other favourite Frank. That was way too short.

Really like to hear Frank play without that distortion. Sounds nasty to me

What was that, an interview for ants? It should be at least 3 times longer.

so versitile with hiis playing out.

Lick at 10:47 is dope

💪😎👍

I keep thinking a zombie is going to appear with the gray wash filter on the vid lol...to much walking dead for me.

I know Gambale is a legend, but I would like to see more youngsters in this show, invite Sam Birchall, Pigarette, Jose Macario, Plini ... or at least some underdog like Dave Fiuczynski, Cenk Erdogan or Jon Gomm. A cool oddball like Adrian Belew would be interesting too.

Frank didn't invest sweeping but he thinks he did

I dont agree that there are only a handful of players with a recognizable sound. I can think of 30 off the top of my head.

Cenk Erdogan!!

Frank has gotten alot better in recent years. He is actually very musical these days. Frank still lacks any sense of melody, but he will get it one day. I may send him a Santana or Dimeola album or something to get him started.

Frank I'm shocked that you use such poor quality strings(D addario),lack tone and don't last very long,I use Curt Mangan Nickel,Dean Markley Blue Steel,Fender Nickel and Ernie Ball Slinky.

Way too many cuts-editing needs to be toned down a lot.

do not dig this cat much personal choice
