Frank Vignola & Vinny Raniolo 'Tico Tico / Apache' | Live Studio Session 

Saw them doing this tonight in a small town in Wales called Tenby. From the front row no less. It is wonderful that world class musicians like these play in small towns like mine. David

This is what should be played on radio !

Raniolo's Tico Tico is a summer favorite for me and my 7 month old baby goes absolutely nuts when she hears it and always wants me to dance with her when I play it, resulting in absolutely hysterical laughter by her. Some of the best stuff of life.

These guys are super you can tell their hearts are in their playing it’s so much more than a bunch of notes. It’s great to see guys who love what they are doing. Thank you gentleman for a super job.

How anyone could possibly dislike this is beyond me..

So nice to see Vinnie get a little solo action... Such a great pair. I really love these two together

If I die to with this playing I'll die happy. So thankful for the happiness that Frank and Vinnie have brought to my life, just wonderful :-)

This is what I love, great musicians that you can tell are having a ball whilst they are playing

you two guys...happy as heck here....look at Vinny ...the happy master....loving your own work ....thats how you get great...and you guys are

Had the great fortune of meeting, and spending time with these two when they headlined Big Sky Gypsy Jazz Festival in Montana in 2018. Great players, great teachers, and just all-around awesome humans....I don't know that I've ever seen anyone as dedicated to their craft as Vinny....dude rarely puts his guitar down.

Fab times ten. Love Frank. First I've heard Vinny. Brand new fan. Keep it coming and thanks for the vid!

So much joy! Greetings from Poland!!

We see Vinny play quite often. He's amazing. But it's also great to hear him play with Frank. I have a few of Frank's jazz guitar instruction DVDs. They've helped me alot in my playing.

2024 still love this cover

What a couple of very talented guitar players !!

Beautiful performance of Tico Tico, a great old time Brazilian classic.

Oh, my GAWD!! I LOVE these two, and I am a big fan of Frank! :) :) :)

I always thought Vinny could tear it up on a guitar. When I watch He and Frank on the Tommy Emmanuel videos, he does a unbelievable job playing rhythm guitar. He can lay down a layer of chords that can weave the whole session very tight indeed. Great job guys, love all of your vids!!!

Outstanding. Saw them in Tenby last Saturday. They blew the place away.

Who could possibly dislike this?!

Saw them with Gary Mazaroppi five days ago. Best night of live music I'll ever see.

this video is now a staple in my practicing everyday

I saw these guys open for Tommy Emmanuel in Adelaide about 10 yrs ago. Amazing

Ya gotta smile hearin' this!

Just LUV these guys~!~!~!~ They're from New York, Long island, my hometown. I knew Joe Ascione their drummer, he lived right across the street from my friend Russell Sullivan's house in the town of Selden, Long Island. We watched Joey practicing in his basement. He LOVED Buddy Rich,,, and studied with him too, and learned how to do Rich's one hand drum roll. Sadly Joey passed not long ago, and Frank Vignola almost bought the farm recently, after having crashed into a tree while riding an atv vehicle. But he's convalescing well, and he's been doing some online guitar clinics and Q & A sessions. He's a really great guy!!!!

I like how Vinny pays Tribute to Django Reinhardt

Fantastic.... together with the talent, the amount of practice behind playing at this level is massive!...

Thanks for sharing. These guys are amazing!!

My like is 1200! I love this duo! Frank Vignola has a great technique and great music taste!

Beautiful! excellent performance. Ciao. Pino

These guys are fantastic live, streamed, on CD & any other way you can hear them....

What a great team. You guys are awesome. JM

I caught their show last week in Chicago and met them after the show. Great guys and great musicians.

OUTSTANDING!

THAT'S AWESOME!

Pero que buenos. Fantásticas versiones.

Beuatiful skill!

Saw these guys last night. Synchronized brilliance AND totally entertaining. Very nice recording here, with stereo spread on the two guitars.

good to see vinny get a solo; I always figured he could probably play more than rhythm..

the guitars gonna need a smoke after this performance,,,WOW!!!!!

articulation is heavenly

Finally got to hear Vinny cut loose a bit.Nice. Frank,as always very good.

magic stuff

Fantastic.

I thought back to your wonderful concert in Clayton, NC, in November 2015 and just had to listen to you. Hope to see you in concert again soon.

FANTASTIC:)

Amazing!!! Gonna give this song a try

Miss you guys! ❤️💕🎶🎵

Non ci sono parole...

Wow !!! Just awesome !

SUPER !!!!!!!!!!!!! THANKS (Y)

Szuper......imádom....köszönöm .....

Saw them twice opening for Tommy Emmanuel in SF and they were great! Lots of talent on stage that night.

Awesome!

Frank plays Thorell guitars. This is my first time hearing it acoustic, what a sound!

that collings sounds amazing.

I saw Frank with Tommy Emmanuel last Tuesday and he included this in his set.

oh how I LOVE this!! : )

Awesome

I thought I'm not a bad guitar player. After I heard this I could not play the next three days. From now on I'm going to practice more, and more!

Dang that was good

Learning this version in The Monster Room!

WOW!

fantasticissimi

fantastique

Hola esto me iso recordar cuando estaba pequeña pues bailé el tico tico en la escuela!!

Szuper imádás !!!

Muy excelente!

Master and Servant :-)

Raniolo forever

Way to go, Vinny!

Solô d'enfer ça me rappelle les chadows🎸🎶BRAVOS

Chur boys fkn awesome

Nice!

I wanna learn that Vinny raniolo chords part! His play so nice !!!

I like it :-)

Vinny's fingering on chords is really something. Look at his A minor and E7th positions he uses at the beginning of the tune. What a stretch. They are a great team.

Apparently very few people here know that this song Tico tico (no fubá) is a Brazilian song and was composed in 1917 by Zequinha de Abreu and this style of music is called Choro, or Chorinho.

I wonder how many strings these guys go through every session

man these guys are bad ass! when they play with Tommy Emmanuelle you never can tell how good they are. not to take anything away from Tommy but these guys are just as good. vinnie usually plays the rhythm line but to hear him play less is just unreal. fantastic duo, good job guys!

позитивные ребята ((((:

Outstanding. Coming to Nova Scotia Canada anytime soon?

ай красавцы....

Отлично играют мне нравится

Very well rehearsed! I imagine many hours were put in to perfect the arrangement. Nice job. Vinny's "improvisation" sounded perfectly memorized. 2 very nice tunes for this style. Although the "Apache" I know is a totally different tune. Joe Pass plays that Apache pretty good. Written by Ray Noble? (I think). Guess a lot of people are resurrecting the Rienhart/Grappelli thing. It is pretty amusing watching Vinny play Django style. You know Charlie Christian used to take Django style solos for a chuckle. I used to play that kind of stuff also but left it behind 30 years ago. It was fun and 2 guitarists are versatile enough to do it. My band was guitar-mandolin-acoustic bass-percussion.

Oléé :3

Im meeting him in college :D

who is the better guitarist? Vinny is right up there with Frank - he's a loyal partner - always liked him...

La guitare de Vinny Raniolo n'a aucune projection quand il prend un chorus .Le son devient très petit alors qu'elle sonne à peu près sur les "pompes" d'accords .Frank Vignola est épatant comme toujours et avec un bien meilleur "outil".Ceci dit chapeau aux deux compères qui jouent magnifiquement !

At what age should sy start to play to play once like this ??? -5??😂

Good

Mi piacerebbe essere uno dei due, anzi, un mix della loro testolina musicale. P.s. Nessuno ha mai notato che tra i più bravi e famosi chitarristi spiccano i cognomi di origine italiana?

Thanks. I think I'll burn my guitar now.

As Solid_Cedar_Top_Fan, I have always been wondering why Mr. Raniolo is not using such a solution. The sound offerred by cedar would definitely suit Mr. Vignola's style and sound.

To be honest I find Vinny's solos way better than Frank's, so much more musical taste in them. Wish I could hear more solos from him.

i love his acoustic jazz guitar whats the name of it?

One dislike? I don't understand...

il assure dites donc le sideman!

I think it might be a person who occidentally clicked the wrong button, cause i don't understand either.
