Frank Gambale still have been FABULOUS guitar player...but how many hours months years of work to get this result... He really should be knew so much more by more and more people !!!! I've still been a fan and time passing by and he's better and much better...again and again. It's really impressive to work so hard since long time...but tte result is amazing...Bravo Frank ! Keep going and take care. 🤩👍
@@wadesharp11 To be fair, thinking about it kinda makes me want to go skiing in a multi-neoncoloured fullbody ski suit with complimentary mirror sunglasses, pink earmuffs and a lip balm that’s just ever so slightly too loud for comfort … 😁
+Luigi Sari I think they are on par with one another in terms of quantifiable technique. look up the album truth in shredding, it has Gambale and Holdsworth playing together, it is incredible and you will know what I mean afterwards.
+Calymos :) I know pretty well that album, I guess that you're talking about the notes-continuity sound generated by Allan's legato technic, I'm right ? I think it's the main difference between Allan and Frank which is a perfect pick player : as a guitar player I prefer much more Frank due to his funky-chop style, it's only a matter of taste. Btw I like also Holdsworth, both are great !
+Calymos ...I don't consider AH a fusion player. He is beyond fusion. He basically created his own tonal universe. He is an innovator. Allan Holdsworth is on another level altogether from this. So, essentially I disagree with you. They are on different planets.
@@ronaldwilliams6431 Yea but Guthrie has nothing but respect for frank, Frank is the original BADASS! If it wasn't for guys like FG there wouldn't be a Guthrie.
Notice the way he's almost voicing or singing the notes at the same time he picks. This is a great exercise and technique for developing a real connection to the keyboard and knowing your intervals.. Imagine developing riffs as easy as whistling or scatting. Franktastic !
Various Things He means that Gambale is probably singing the notes in his head at the same time he's playing them. Basically he plays the notes he hears in his head, which is key to improvisation, rather than just playing memorized licks over a chord progression.
+Gary Phillips great observation! i started doing that because i loved George Benson's sound and yeah like you say it really starts developing your oneness with the instrument so it becomes more an extension of your body than an inanimate object.
Yeah right on! I remember doing this with my favourite high school bands like whenever id listen to Devin Townsend or Shpongle I'd voice the note but like allot of the time without making a sound, I'm gonna refocus on it because I think that helped a lot with imagining a note and nailing it first finger now that I think of it I think. The brain is so fascinating :]
If I ever could ask Frank a question it would be, "what is it you say to yourself when your lips are moving?" It's a thing I've seen him do from his earliest videos to his latest. Whatever it is, I WANNA KNOW THE SECRET
yep, gambale could learn slash riffs, or more precisely, hear them, get a les paul and a marshal stack and wail in that style. Slash couldn't do what gambale does. Both are great guitarists at what they like to do, but one is more studious and omnivoric.
I don't think Slash can be summed up as "that's all". There'll always be someone who knows more, and even at Frank's level there are/were superior players.
I confirm HE IS Damien Schmitt. I met them just before that concert (and my video), while Frank Gambale and Dominique DiPiazza were having a coffee. Not only great musicians but also nice persons.
Love Frank - skill set off the scale but don't know why I'm not crazy about his tone.. Would love to hear a warmer slightly compressed tone with a little bloom on the notes...
