Believe it or not, Frank's family lived over the road from us in Aranda, Canberra, Australia. His bro' Nunzio was in my class at school; we were mates. I still remember with fondness and sheer bloody amazement, Nunz saying come over and have a listen to what Frank's doing now. He was 6 years old and played the Dead's 'Dark Star' with perfection. No surprises he's a global guitar alien; and god bless him that he nurtured the incredible gift he was born with.
What a gift 👍
Pro audio 🤭🤫
I always say playing NICE is a thing about talent.
Thanks for this. Could you please tell us something story more ?
Espectacular!
5:00 "I can play as fast as I want" - that's some end of level boss talk. And then he does it. Legend.
'It ain't bragging if you can back it up' - Jaco Pastorius.
You know your ego is healthy when it makes others smile.
After he made that remark he played the most meta human lick
that is pretty goddamn rippin...he's like, "I practiced this shit a long ass time, is why I'm so good...now go home and practice motherfucker...!!" is the vibe I'm getting from this..I fuckin love it
I found that quote really helpful and made some progress with my speed 👍😎
This guy made sweep-picking an artform the same way Allan Holdsworth made legato an artform. I feel lucky that I shared this planet with people like this, for a little while.
And they make one album together
I was just thinking about early Van Halen and his infatuation with Holdsworth… Similar modal-style Virtuoso influence.
And they been playing the same brand guitar. Just two months before Allan passed away I met both of them at NAMM. 🙏🏻❤️🎸
...share...
What an amazing comment.
The guy doesn't even need harmonies in the background, the sound is already there! 👏💪🤘
A guy that's honed his craft to perfection. He makes it look easy, because it IS easy...for him.
Frank's an icon!
I've known Gambale for 35 years, and I had never heard him play the blues. What a joy.
"Blue Miles" is my favorite blues tune. Check out Frank and the rest of Chick's Elektric Band playing it live. Great stuff!
I know Jesus... Clown
Frank's awesome at blues and I didn't realise. Such soul and feel.
Vital Information at the IMAC theater in Huntington ... late 90s ... dont remember during which tune, but they did an extended blues solo section and Frank was literally making me feel like I was levitating out of my seat. It was unbelievable.
The way he scrambles up blues patterns with genius inversions, reminds me of no one so much as Scott Henderson. Brilliant.
Frank is one of the greatest technicians to ever take up the instrument..yet such a nice, genuinely humble guy…that as much as anything makes him an inspiration…just awesome
So many of the greats are(were), i think it's no small part of what's required to achieve true mastery.
That was ridiculous! What a legend. But more importantly, he doesn't lose the emotion, dynamics, or inflections, for the more bluesy parts. I need to practice more lol
Frank is the benchmark for musical knowledge and technical finesse that all guitarists should aim at achieving.
Not really, he's way passed the benchmark
@@dennoowhe pushed the benchmark past everyone else LOL.
Anyone else just smiling and occassionally laughing at his shear talent ❤🤟
Yup
He is clean and precise
"Sheer", sorry :)
@DanielVerberne sorry. I'm gonna blame auto correct 😉
Smiling while SMH
Frank Gambale is a guitar god - he is a fantastic artist and has it
I love when Frank plays the blues. Wish he would do more of it.
The notes just flow from his body into the guitar. Even as a drummer I can really appreciate his musical talent just incredible. Thanks RB, this dude is a Legend
Frank is INCREDIBLE. I could listen to him all day. What a creative musician.
Holy crap! That is simply amazing. Regardless of the speed or technique it is so soulful!
Frank Gambale is a virtuoso guitar player, no doubt about it. Hardly ever heard him play Blues and he sounds great here, too!!
Well I can make my guitar cry, she cries when she sees me coming to practise.
Yeah, I can my guitar to scream! “Stop playing” she says lmao
Lmao!
What a treat it must have been to sit down with Frank and do this interview. He really is one of the best there has ever been. There are countless brilliant players out there but Frank really is in a league of his own.
Couldn't agree more. :)
I bet every guitarist saw that blues solo's and thought "Damn! How many great blues guitarists just dropped their jaws?" LOL Amazing playing! Saw him in lIsbon, on a masterclass sponsored by Ibanez and What I learned in about 1 and a half hours was priceless. Thank you, Mr Frank, and Thank you Rick for your video that reminded me that!
I love how he just can't resist going off the deep end for a little bit just playing blues and then reels it back in again. Top notch!
Met Frank at a guitar workshop at St Charles guitar exchange near st Louis ,what a humble legend he talked with us well after it was over ,he blew everyone's mind with his playing
All these years I've been digging Frank.... and he stills does it. A gift for us.
His playing with Chicks Electrik band was an eye opener for me as a kid….MONSTER
"People say I should grimace more" LMAO!!!!!!!!!😆 Seriously, Frank's musicianship and versatility are second to none. And the sheer joy he plays with is contagious! BRAVO!
A guy who can play his part and your brain fills in the rest of the band because he created it. Very special
This guy has always been one of my favourites. Very humble man as well.
Frank Gambale is one of my favorite guitarists. I saw him in concert with Vital Information ( Tom Coster, Steve Smith and Baron Browne) and it was really revelatory. Check out Vital Information recordings particularly the double live album ( Tours around the World). A true masterpiece.
“I can play as fast as I want”. It’s not even cocky coming from him…
Bcoz it's a f***ng true
I know! That’s why I find it funny, it’s just matter of fact
This channel is a real fun one, Rick. Very cool segments. Keep 'em coming!
Gosh I owe Frank so much since I started my journey! Thanx guys! ❤️
Thanks Rick for this awesome content. Cant get enough of Gambale , and you ask him the questions ive always wondered about.
Love Frank. I met him at one of his many clinics, over the years. I worked at a music store in about 89 or 90 and we hosted a clinic, with Frank. He is an amazing player, and quite a personality. Thanks, Rick.
Frank Gambale is truly a treasure.
In addition, his video on modes is an eye-opening must have. Probably one of the simplest one on the subject, thus a revelation for the curious viewer.
Wow! King of fusion shred. Thanks for sharing Mr Beato.
FRANK is the Best! The thunder from down under, have gotten to see him live a few times. This interview is awesome! Thanks for your content Rick.
Frank has a very smooth & FAST style of playing the guitar 🎸 & one of the best I’ve ever seen ! 👍🏻
Such a great interview.
Another Legend!! Thank you Rick!
Rick, you're sitting with the best of the best lately. What a great show it's become! Will you sit with Greg Howe one day, please?
I really must practice more with inspiration like this, many thanks 👍
What a great video! Thanks for sharing this with us!
Music is truly the universal language. From Franks playing to Ricks total understanding of theory it was like a conversation was going on back and forward that didn’t even need words. Excellent content. 👍
Rick is so happy in this video! Definitely the look of a guy meeting one of his guitar heroes.
Such a star;nice interview;legend!
I bought one of Franks instructional video's way back, learned a lot. When people talk underrated guitarists Frank is in that category too. He is right about the blues, something I don't think I have ever seen him play but he clearly respects.
He makes it look so easy 🎶
Love his mixes scales and sweep picking technnics !!!
Just fabulous....wow listened to him for years...
Guauuu! Qué maravilloso guitarrista es Frank, talento y feeling al interpretar. Gracias Rick por compartir. Saludos a ambos 👍🏿🇲🇽
What a cool interview!!!!
Frank is such a character! Awesome player!!
Always amazing !
Wonderful piece. Thanks, fellas!
Love Frank, one of the all time best! One of the ultimate personalities on guitar. You always know it's FG when you hear him.
That blues was amazing.
Frank continues and will continue to inspire the guitarists of history to be basically more "musical" to make music! It has a warmth and a great spirit, every time I listen to it, I have to run out to look for my guitar and it makes the inspiration flow, a total genius!
That was just simply outstanding.
Such an incredible jazzer!
His modes tutorial are the vest ive seen to date. Great teacher.
Frank has ALWAYS amazed me!!! Licks and TONE!!!
So inspiring!
Rick, this was just killer!
"clearly I'm not warmed up yet" as he proceeds to obliterate my best playing... I guess I better practice more...
well duh, it's Frank Gambale.
imagine you're 22 years old ..you come out to LA to seek out your Music Future as a Guitarist..via MUSIC SCHOOL...only to find a certain other 22 year old(FG) walks into the same school ..to begin studies..lol..it was an eye opener...but Frank is a great guy..and obviously you can see where his career has gone since Leaving GIT(MI)
@@Keeferz4Keeperz Hey, do you happen to know Kevin King? (keys) I think he was teaching there in the 80s/90s. Monster player, great dude! Wish I still lived in LA. Been stuck in Ohio for the last 15 years! Cheers!
Frank is just something else and one the most unpredictable and exciting players still after all these years!!! I’ve never seen anyone else’s hands move like his, incredible!!!🙌🏽🤯🔥
Oh hell yeah.... Thats is something heard from a true legend level guitarist. The thought of getting beyond our physical limitations.. A beast to be tamed. Genius.
Good one, Rick! Loved Frank since the old days of Chick Corea's Electric Band! Good interview. You both looked like you were having fun - yet you still got some good info!
Rick & Frank ,,,, this is great
His sweep rythm is world class, dynamics are clean as hell as well, very nice.
This man is a true inspiration.
Saw this guy play live with Return To Forever. Excellent!!!
'The string is a beast' well put and agreed. Amazing guitarist.
"this is a beast...to overcome"
Totally Amazing
Fantastic. Frank is marvellous.
awesome touch !
Blues gets you beyond notes, scales, arrppegios you can find that soul and speak your heart.
I met him at Brecon Jazz many years ago with Vital Information. Lovely guy to chat with and an incredible musician.
Awesome interview and player.
Great lesson!
Love the vintage pinball machine for a backdrop, Rick!
Frank has been a huge influence on me. I first heard his playing on a Chick Corea record when I was eleven years old. I'd just starting playing and his style was so clean and musical. It blew my mind.
It's not so much how difficult it is, but how amazing it is. FG never ceases to blow my mind.
Man, I was fortunate to have seen him play with Chick's Electric band back '86 when I was in College. Always been one of my favorite guitarists.
I was lucky enough to see him live a few years ago, in his mature stage, and it was a pleasure to see how the craft of years gives him enough freedom to play what he wants, and how he wants; It's not just about going fast, it's about playing it musically.
Quietness and pauses are just as important as quick notes.
"this is a best to overcome" True MASTER
I have a book with various arpeggio licks from monster players. Gambale's section is one of the most eye-opening. So much leading with upstrokes and sweeping with an upward pick slant, totally alien to me but it's getting more fluid. To me having that facility of leading with downstrokes/DWPS and comfortably switching to UWPS feels similar in concept to comfortably switching between drum patterns leading with the right or left hand.
The music world is way better when you come across an excellent Frank Cambale video!!!
Wow! Amazing!!
It’s been about 34 years since I first heard Frank’s solo to Please Don’t Feel Bad on the Vital Information, and I’m so close to being able to play it all the way through.
The way he plays over chord changes is technically masterful but also musical.
His playing on that solo is my favorite, but I also love his funk rhythm playing on Sunday Afternoon.
Sir Beato, please make more video with mr. Gambale. Thanks 🙏🙏
Frank playing blues, what a revelation. For anyone lucky enough to have his album, 'Coming To Your Senses', there's a wonderful piece 'Up in Beechwood' that emphasises his really soulful touch.
That vídeo Frank Gambale's chop builder helped me good !
seen him twice in concert and it's a blast
Holy fuck crazy to see you two on the same screen! Frank is a god.
I had the honor of meeting Frank at Club Iridium in NYC (maybe about 15 years ago). I have met a fair number of musicians in my life and Frank, by far, was the nicest, most humble gentleman I ever met.
Brilliant !!
Wow! Never seen anything like that. He just let's it flow! One of the greatest guitarist ever!
Always Great
Just insane notes selection in the played phrases..not possible not to love it...
