We hired Frank, Bunny and the band to play a Carvin concert at the Westin Hotel in LA NAMM 2000. This version was on Carvin's site years ago. The frame rate is low , the song was shortened (bandwidth limitations back then) and the audio is from the video camera mic. A few years ago we put the entire performance on youtube (unedited) and the audio is upgraded. We recorded the show to DAT from the mixing console.
Sound great either way. Stop with the blues/fusion talk. Let the man play what HE want. That's how he got where he is now. By doing what HE liked and wanted. Invent your own style. I may not have my own style, but i don't complain on others who do
When I clicked on the thumbnail of this video, that stated frank gambale plays little wing, fusion is exactly what I wanted to hear. see there are plenty of guitarists ripping through this song with great rocknroll licks, but I was hoping, that this is not what I'm going to listen to here.
I was thinking "hey, lets see what frank can come up with over this tune" and for my tatstes, it wasn't even fusion enough, pretty much plain rock.
Listening to it again, it's not horrid, but I have heard FAR better. I have always disdained Franks attack, and sound. He is better here than I have ever heard him elsewhere, I will give you that! IMO Like what you like, everyone. It's a free country!
But he's not just a musician; he a famous Fusion guitarist, people don't want to see him playing blues, they want to see him playing in his own style which is what he is doing. Personally I think his solo was just great.
The legacy has a real sweet sound even on the overdrive. I'm picking up one of these for Christmas :D I've got a Rhino Black star that has a much more in your face sound to it. This will be a nice addition to the arsenal.
I think I would give my pinky finger, on my "right" hand (non-playing hand) for that damn good tone he's got. I don't know. Can you make a Carvin Legacy sound bad?
sound from the mix is awesome!

I see so many of these amazing chops guys totally flatten songs like this, but to his credit he didn't overplay.

Question: Why is this video sponsored by Carvin ? . . .

I found it on Carvin's website a few years ago...it might have been a Carvin sponsored performance at NAMM or something.
