followers of Justin Bieber, Madonna, Lady Gaga and other crap like that will most probably find this great music boring because it is beyond their limited musical scope. It is like offering caviar to someone who is used to eat greasy hamburgers, they will not be able to swallow it.
What an awful piece of music. Frank Gambale is great when he is playing in Vital Information or with Chick Corea but, his solo stuff is cheesy beyond belief.
pure beauty, sophistication, taste, and perfection. this is what you get when you combine almost limitless talent with a lifetime's worth of dedication, study, and practice. everytime i hear and see frank play, im in awe at his effortlessness. this man is beyond words. amazing...
A lot of shredders are so boring and have nothing to say, whereas Frank just keeps you glued to his great phrasing and lightning runs and arpeggios, plus he puts importance on a good melody to hang everything on.
@EgoShredder totally, you can tell he puts a good melody before everything. That pop hook that we all love and like, that's why he is so damn listenable. Damn it, he's too good.
"get some...... sour cream... & onion chips... with some dip man.. some beef jerky, some peanut butter. get some hagen daz ice cream bars gotta have a lot of it! chocolate! gotta have chocolate man! some popcorn! red popcorn... gram crackers!!! gram crackers with marshmellows the little marshmellows the little chocolate marshmellows make some smores maaan!!"
What makes a grown man think, today I am gonna wear this smashing pink t-shirt with Tweety from the bugs bunny show on it. And to top it of, and look extremely cool I'll wear these skin thight shining leather pants, and have them as high up the waist as possible.
I had the opportunity to meet him at NAMM this year... He is one cool guy to talk to. He actually wasn't signing autographs or anything I ran into him at Carvin after he was done with his set. Talked to him for about ten minutes. Very humble like Gilbert and Holdsworth whom I've met before too
Frank is a great player, no doubt. YOU try to get hired by Chick Corea. Some of his best playing is on the Elektrik Band albums. His own compositions sound like something for a GIT audition. wait a minute.... :)
Everyone has his taste, I don't want to fight with you guys: but I really, REALLY don't understand how is it possible to like Gambale's music. It reminds me something like a cheap soft-porn movie, something to listen with your brain and heart off...
Ok, I'm sorry!:-)
...But when I saw his shoes at 2:10... oh my God, my mother heard my weird laughing and she was scared!
the semi old amongst us will know that pastel coloured shirts (tucked in), stickers on instruments (and books and cars etc) and everything else you see here about Gambale are typical of the period that this great vid was filmed. i remember watching this around 20 ish years ago and was blown away then and still love it to this day. MONSTER
heheheh...yup...kids today think its cool to pierce themselves relentless, look down at the ground alot, dye their hair black,covering one eye of course....of ya...and skinny jeans they borrow from their sister....and let computers do most of the music composing....if ya wanna call it that....
heheheh...yup...kids today think its cool to pierce themselves relentless, look down at the ground alot, dye their hair black,covering one eye of course....of ya...and skinny jeans they borrow from their sister....and let computers do most of the music composing....if ya wanna call it that....
@Xioaxioa10 His playing sounds more like a pianist or a saxophone, no wonder why those people who only want to hear guitaristic stuff hates it. Sweep is pretty hard to master, it'll sound guitaristic if played sloppy.
No, it is not a loaded question. The question is "Please define the word "music"". You claim that "Music is music. You have to have a technical definition to even start exploring music theory." So, what is that definition? assume I'm an alien who has just arrived on the planet, and explain to me what music is.
@Prometheus4096 ok. define music, without recourse to swearing, threats and judgements. in addition please define in which ways Gambale "is" music, and in which way Slipknot is not.
@Prometheus4096 Now! To further my point, I listen to many genres, Blues, Funk, Soul, R & B, Rock, Metal, Folk, Jazz, Eastern music, Celtic music, Classical music...many many different genres. If you're so conceited and close minded as to think you need to be a theory master to play a fucking instrument your WRONG! All music is "good" to somebody... don't be a fool and open your ears and mind. I'm sick of people like you who claim to KNOW something about music but are just foolish. Grow Up!
@Prometheus4096 ALSO, just who the fuck do you think you are? Are you some high and mighty famous guitarist? Or just another adult who's on the internet bothering everyone else? I know many people who believe musicians like Miley Cyrus are "Good Musicians" ....now if they think that...great. If we believe Slipknot is great...so be it, but for you to be so arrogant and high above other forms of MUSIC (THE ART OF EXPRESSION THROUGH SOUND) is just WRONG!
@Prometheus4096 Your fucking kidding me right? I get it...Slipknots not for you...but that being said...if you DON'T like it...then stop ragging on them. They're musicians with great talent when it comes to writing. If you think you need "technical definition" to do ANYTHING....your fucking wrong, take a look at Jimmy page, Jeff Beck, Eric Clapton, Jimi Hendrix...among others...NO MUSICAL THEORY KNOWLEDGE...AMAZING PLAYERS! Think before you speak please.
@Prometheus4096 id refine that. music either is, or in the case of corporate plastic, is not, music. within that broad spectrum of sounds created willingly and passionately (viz slipknot and gambale) there is room for taste. ie to make a like/dislike judgement.
@Prometheus4096 I disagree once again, respectfully of course. Music taste plays a factor in what musicians create. And Mick Thompson of slipknot is into jazz, blues, rock, and of course metal amongst other genres. For example, players like Jimmy Page and Jimi Hendrix are heavily into blues, and jazz, and rock, and they created GOOD music which appealed to practically everyone. Taste in music is neither illusion nor an excuse.
@Prometheus4096 Honestly, i disagree completely. Listen to their music, listen to snuff for example....what the hell do you mean soulless music mercenaries? Give me a fucking break man, no doubt, frank is an amazing musician and player of the guitar. HOWEVER, bands like slipknot have a place as well, they're an amazing band if you actually LISTEN to them. And don't bother responding with a comment like "you have no taste" ....because if i list me influences....you will realize what I mean.
@holyswordsmanoffaith im with you brother-love slipknot, love gambale! what's the difference? last time i checked it was all music. right im off to listen to the shadows
@holyswordsmanoffaith im with you brother-love slipknot, love gambale! what's the difference? last time i checked it was all music. right im off to listen to the shadows. you'll never convince the biggots tho, dont waste your fingers typing at em

Absolutely nothing about this video should work; The shirt, the trousers, the OTT yellow guitar, the terrible song... But somehow.... just somehow... i like it. My god im confused.
@mereneatacubaya Not to pre-judge here, but you sound like another Metal Moron who can "tap" the shit out of the fretboard, but don't know any chords. The Paco (with Al and John) on your favorites list doesn't exonerate you from that category. If you can't improvise over those chords - let alone know what those chords are, I suggest all you smart-ass fools out there to keep your feckless opining to yourself - it only displays your ignorance...
my brother always makes fun of me because when he enters the living room I'm always lying on the couch listening to this tune (and others) from frank's DVDs ... "Oh, is it Frank Gambale?? I didn't know you listened to that..." haha...
Anyone as amazing as him skillwise should show it off. I would. It's a different matter if his bandmates don't dig on it, but he's badass. I'm sure he looks back at his dress style with great regret, but I think most of us who live in the 80's do. That's not even a good mullet. It's like half committed.
cool!!!! great guitarist and he also has amazing taste in both his playing and choice of car brands!!(see his sitcker on the geetar!) ALFA ROMEO!!!!!! legend of a guitarist and a true inspiration.. :-)
Great shred technique, though it's limited in that it excludes tapping and tap-sweeping, but this is incredibly boring and unmusical, in my opinion. The repetition is a turn off. Repetition can work. King Crimson makes good use of it from time to time, but it fails miserably here, I think. The melody is corny, the accompaniment is cheesey -- it's just a bad piece of music by Gambale. Par for the course for most post-1970s fusion, unfortunately.
@richcapo what do you really need tapping and tap-sweeping for? in terms of being a musician playing music that most ppl like, oh i forgot..in prog metal bands of course.. -.- ok well you can always adapt those techniques in variuos styles but i dont really see the point in that, other than show off, and in my opinion a true musician only supports the feeling of the song..never showing off..
@vithaj92 Or in the case of many Metal players - they can't alternate pick like Jazz/Fusion guys like Al Di Meola, McLaughlin or Coryell, so they have to create another avenue to attain that level of speed. Frank is one of my top 4 Fusion players, along with the previously mentioned 3. He does sound extremely fast, but only when sweeping. I'd like to see if Frank could hang with one of the other 3 in an acoustic scenario. On acoustic, you pretty much HAVE to pick all the notes to sound clear.
@soundtrackfreak Because tapping & sweeping made possible to play on guitar some very unguitaristic line which make the instrument sounding new and a lot more interesting (Sax line, keyboard line) it also add some more texture (rubato, legato etc) which is a point i think saddly a lot of guitarist tend to forget (that's true for metal and saddly can be extended to prog only a few cares about texture) .
@Fleg hmm..i dont think you need tapping to play sax, horn lines..i mean i have never seen a jazzguitarist play tapping licks, they just slide tastefully with their ring fingers (usually) across the frets to get that horn, sax thing,nontheless i bow for michael romeo for what he does and that works great in his music with his tap-sweeping stuff but as an overall musician i recommend to avoid that technique, if you dont want to be labeled as a shredder.
@soundtrackfreak I see your point of view but saddly Jazz guitarist just stuck to their role, the guitarist guy, listen to fusion with guys like Allan Holdsworth (best exemple ever) those guy can play those tricky Charlie Parker and other bopper line. I see your point of view but i think because of virtuoso wannabe in Metal band you got distorded view of the technic, allow me this note of irony: when a bluesmen start to bend for the first time, imagine if people react like you
@Fleg Why i use the bend technic as an exemple is , here again , to copy the quality singer have to go fluently from one note to another they try to bend those string, which is more fluent than sliding (because of the fret mainly). Did Jazzer bend? No ;) A lot of people can see noon at their door with only the basic and no flashy technic, but here is the problem where is the limit to say this is flashy and this is not? It's sad music today is splitteed that way today.
while i agree with the "not showing off" thing, your view of what is a musician is a little, off... music itself doesn't exist without the musician, the feeling does not belong to the song, it comes from who plays it, and to who listens to it, always in different ways!
it's all subjective... there's no such thing as the "absolute" musician... tapping and tap-sweeping can make it comfortable to some players to play some stuff... while others feel comfortable in other ways
but isn't that guy from dragonforce also using an S-series guitar? except ofcourse they both have signature models which are customized s-series guitars, though i'm not sure that's why I'm asking :) thanks for the reply :)

Great shred technique, though it's limited in that it excludes tapping and tap-sweeping, but this is incredibly boring and unmusical, in my opinion. The repetition is a turn off. Repetition can work. King Crimson makes good use of it from time to time, but it fails miserably here, I think. The melody is corny, the accompaniment is cheesey -- it's just a bad piece of music by Gambale. Par for the course for most post-1970s fusion, unfortunately.

@richcapo what do you really need tapping and tap-sweeping for? in terms of being a musician playing music that most ppl like, oh i forgot..in prog metal bands of course.. -.- ok well you can always adapt those techniques in variuos styles but i dont really see the point in that, other than show off, and in my opinion a true musician only supports the feeling of the song..never showing off..

@soundtrackfreak Tapping and tap-sweeping gives a unique sound, thats why they do it.

@vithaj92 Or in the case of many Metal players - they can't alternate pick like Jazz/Fusion guys like Al Di Meola, McLaughlin or Coryell, so they have to create another avenue to attain that level of speed. Frank is one of my top 4 Fusion players, along with the previously mentioned 3. He does sound extremely fast, but only when sweeping. I'd like to see if Frank could hang with one of the other 3 in an acoustic scenario. On acoustic, you pretty much HAVE to pick all the notes to sound clear.

@soundtrackfreak Because tapping & sweeping made possible to play on guitar some very unguitaristic line which make the instrument sounding new and a lot more interesting (Sax line, keyboard line) it also add some more texture (rubato, legato etc) which is a point i think saddly a lot of guitarist tend to forget (that's true for metal and saddly can be extended to prog only a few cares about texture) .

@Fleg hmm..i dont think you need tapping to play sax, horn lines..i mean i have never seen a jazzguitarist play tapping licks, they just slide tastefully with their ring fingers (usually) across the frets to get that horn, sax thing,nontheless i bow for michael romeo for what he does and that works great in his music with his tap-sweeping stuff but as an overall musician i recommend to avoid that technique, if you dont want to be labeled as a shredder.

@soundtrackfreak I see your point of view but saddly Jazz guitarist just stuck to their role, the guitarist guy, listen to fusion with guys like Allan Holdsworth (best exemple ever) those guy can play those tricky Charlie Parker and other bopper line. I see your point of view but i think because of virtuoso wannabe in Metal band you got distorded view of the technic, allow me this note of irony: when a bluesmen start to bend for the first time, imagine if people react like you
Fleg 1 year ago
@Fleg Why i use the bend technic as an exemple is , here again , to copy the quality singer have to go fluently from one note to another they try to bend those string, which is more fluent than sliding (because of the fret mainly). Did Jazzer bend? No ;) A lot of people can see noon at their door with only the basic and no flashy technic, but here is the problem where is the limit to say this is flashy and this is not? It's sad music today is splitteed that way today.

@soundtrackfreak
while i agree with the "not showing off" thing, your view of what is a musician is a little, off... music itself doesn't exist without the musician, the feeling does not belong to the song, it comes from who plays it, and to who listens to it, always in different ways!
it's all subjective... there's no such thing as the "absolute" musician... tapping and tap-sweeping can make it comfortable to some players to play some stuff... while others feel comfortable in other ways
simple!

@Utubesuxmycock
are you stupid man ?
how can a melodic motive be "GAY"
i think you tell others gay because you feel gay...
and if you wanna say franks gay say that his shirt or his haircut is gay, i would go for that before getting into the melodies...

@alapunk13 it's an Ibanez saber series (Frank Gambale signature model). It came in the yellow, the salmon, and maybe one other fluorescent color too.
