Frank Gambale-Chop Builder Parte 1

[Samsgarden]

When Frank opens his mouth, it's complete bewilderment, you expect him to be a complete boof.

[alexmortland]

21st Century Beatnik Frank is way cooler than 20th Century Spandex Shreddin' Frank. WAY cooler.

[RandomShellAccount]

Imagine waking to this guy just SHREDDING at the foot of your bed and giving you those looks while he just plays guitar.

And it happened EVERY morning.

[Samsgarden]

Presented by National Lampoons.

[guitarsehole]

Great stuff, but one thing I just have to point out....MAN WITH HAIRY SHOULDERS SHOULD NOT WEAR SLEEVELESS SHIRTS OR VESTS!!

[egyptianminor]

Bad mutherfucker from down under

[heavenin74]

"the ultimate workout, playalong, practice, tape, routine.....video......." lol i was killing myself laughing when he said that!

[Neidhardt84]

Love the camera change face at 2:46.

[mdthib]

Wonderful that they left the FBI warning... :)

[hogsbelly63]

I spent all night last night seeing how far I could get playing along with this workout. It's a lot harder than I thought and covers an incredible amount of useful techniques. Forget the 'cheesy' aspect and just go with the lessons. You won't regret it. It's a masterclass, trust. Frank is the MAN!

[fightman121]

This DVD is amazing. This is the hardest and best Guitar work out I have ever seen. I have just learnt section one and that was very difficult. I can see why he is the master the man is truly amazing.

[donottawaguitar]

and kick it!

[bingefeller]

I don't like his tone here at all. It's like his action is so low that his notes are all choking out or something...

[HumAcosta]

Master of Masters.

Simplemente un Placer ser estudiante de todos sus legados.

Frank Gambale es por el, y por todos.

[megadeth1818]

that turkey guy kinda looks like sting

[stevegrierson]

Is he wearing a syrup ?

[DexterKnows]

Hank Azaria?



[Starwyrmwood]

Frank had cool aussie stickers on his Ibanez

[guillotinedeath]

frank gabale is one ugly son of bitch

but his skills are unmatched

[JoelGuitar100]

Excelent exercises for Beginning

[Bflatest]

[AustinMcsherry]

[jazzmunky]

6:45 great turkey impression

[127quinn]

but seriously though I love Frank Gambale he is the bomb dude non stop bustin moves with his sweep picking makes everyone say whaaa????

[127quinn]

aaaaargh now everytime I see him I think of that slash character from steven kings tv mini series called, the stand. the guy who played satan. ahhhhhhhh.....I keeo thinking he is gonna transform and bust horns out from his head. ahhhh.......

[ricomajestic]

and a jane fonda exercise video all in one

[ricomajestic]

looks like a quiet riot video!

[William102582]

NICE! I'd played along with this instructional video for years, it sure helped my playing a lot.

[powersoftritone]

Jesus is he filming in his living room

 Also, love your stuff Gambale

[wartarot]

Glad he got rid of the poodle on his head and went au natural.

[enycander]

@wartarot He still has the poodle on his shoulders

[dollysinn]

@wartarot Sure, mullets are natural.

[gvarundgr8]

the video seems much more like a dirty porno than a guitar instructional vid! ;)

[brazilianguitarlover]

@gvarundgr8

That´s the cool thing about it! :-)

Anyway, any 80´s VHS production remembers some

dirty double penetration porn movie.

[cbfeeling]

@gvarundgr8 I wonder if it was filmed in Van Nuys? ;-)

[llwayneio]

could they not find better guys for the back?! they can;t even play the exercises their technique is so tense and sloppy how frank oked them is beyond me.

[yeahyeahyaha2]

no ya enserio, creo que prefiero una de guitar hero, está pija de horrible

[yeahyeahyaha2]

puta es la guitarra más espantosa que haya visto... bueno está en mi top 5

[TheJetfighter666]

Thanks for uploading this .I had a friend send it to me[ Highly recomended ]The guy is fantastic on lead and he said this helped him like no other ! THANK YOU !

[Jawbreaker1000]

Can anyone tell if Frank is resting his wrist on the body of the guitar or the bridge. To me it looks like he's holding it up in the air, slightly above the guitar. when playing, I usually like resting my wrist on or around the bridge. Is this bad for me too do??

[toptentunes]

@Jawbreaker1000 at times yes and other times no. There are some techniques that need to be done while resting your wrist agains the bridge. You might find it helpful to rest the arm just below the elbow on the top of the guitar but for some things you play you would need freer arm movement.

[Jawbreaker1000]

@toptentunes Thanks for the tip!

[toptentunes]

@Jawbreaker1000 (more) Two things; First find a guy who you admire and let him show you what he does. Second, practice precision and try some different things while trying to perfect what you are doing. Find ways that are the most comfortable for YOU. Every player is different and you have to develop your own personal opinion on what works. Talk to better players and take what works for you and leave what doesn't. 

[foxybrown2]

@toptentunes Well said. Look at Wes Montgomery he taught him self and he is a legend.

[toptentunes]

(even more) When I first heard about Franks sweep picking technique I was not into it. I felt that for most runs learning to master alternate picking was going to give me the most benefit. However as the years have gone by I have found that the efficiency of keeping the pick moving in one direction couldn't be beat by any other method. That being said I still think it's important to be able to reverse pick direction while moving in the opposite direction.

[toptentunes]

@Jawbreaker1000 (more continued) Check out the Levitt books from Berklee press. There are some good picking exercises for string skips. Try playing your scales with each note doubled e.g. Pick down up, down up, down up and go up the whole neck in each key then reverse using up down, up down. 2nd e.g. Cmaj scale:

C (down) C (up), D (down) D (up), E (down) E (Up). After you do two strokes per note, try four strokes per note but this time emphasize a different stroke. (Accent 1) on each note.

[toptentunes]

(even more continued) When you are trying to figure out what works you really have to commit to it until you feel you have mastered it and really given a technique a chance. As a music teacher used to tell me: Perfect Practice makes Perfect. If you can't play perfectly, slow down the tempo until you can. Also once you have perfected something move on. Take the things you have mastered and use those for warmups and once warmed up start working on things that you can't play or are difficult.

[hensonandbedges]

this was a great vdo. i like the funny 80s cheesyness cuz its frank. and frank kicks ass!!.. great teacher! helped my playing alot. God bless him.

[AMHollowMusic]

Love all Gambale's vids, learning from him is a must. But with all due respect...this is funny!

[daschwarjazz]

Gambale should have starred in The Road Warrior instead of Mel Gibson.

[Shi7Disc0]

why do all tutorial videos from the greatest guitarists always have shitty audio?

[gitarmats]

@Shi7Disc0

Might be because many of these old REH videos for example are transferred from VHS. I'm not sure though.

[naturaltoby]

I don't know how they can keep up that pace without leg warmers!

[dpapaioannow]

*hi iam frank gambale and my shoulder hairs can rip your face off* ROFL that camera turn around at 2:46 too ROFL

[alspageddi]

@dpapaioannow i'm laughing so hard i'm literally crying! dude, thanks for that!

[dpapaioannow]

[LeonardoFailla]

Can anyone tell me what are the chords which make up the chord progression in this vid???? Sounds awesome!!!!!

[beerdeddi]

@LeonardoFailla Listen to the bass line and combine it with minors and sus2 i guess... Perhaps it works!

[terranShadow]

[yootesa1515]

anyone knows other workout vids like these ???

[TheJerzjazz]

@yootesa1515

[yootesa1515]

@TheJerzjazz ??

[hfish83]

I think thats dave hill in the back ground. one of the M.I. instructors.

[MrJazzbox]

@hfish83 Yes and the other guy is Art Renshaw a LAMA instructor...

[hfish83]

@MrJazzbox I think I heard of him. gambale himself used to teach at L.A.M.A but he said in a recent guitar player interview that they kept complaining that his carriculum was too advanced for the students. he kept deluting it until there wasn't much of any valuable concepts left to teach.

[MrJazzbox]

@hfish83 I know that. I was a student at MA2000 in Italy some yaers ago and they uses the same guitar curriculum maybe 10 years ago but they are trimming it until nothing interesting left...and it became uninteresting for me...you know I don't need to learn how to play a G7 chord I need to learn how to improvise over it...anyway LAMA remains the best school in the world!!!

[randommoosebrains]
