Frank Gambale - Isola D'Elba

[cvidaud]

Frank had the pick cupped up to 2:30 when it appears. Amazing!

[valeboiade]

i come from isola d'elba. thumbs up!

[brunofelix20]

Lovely fusion sound.. Frank is such inspiration for me.

[erickrb18]

The best of the world ....

[noodlesmealey]

master player numero uno. not one bad word to say after this music.

[FlemmingHei]

Wauh

Never heard of Gambale before today.

Never will forget him.

Awesome

[TheMoonchild12]

someone have this tab ? u.ú

i love this song !

[StalinStudio]

very lovely tone, ahhhh

[darkenedmindband]

does anybody have the tabs or music scores of this song???!!!

[scrotly]

@darkenedmindband

You can find the tab for the intro on Frank's website (I think it costs about a dollar).

[darkenedmindband]

@scrotly I found it on the DVD of this concert. There's an actual chapter where gambale explains all the songs melodies of the gig!

[scrotly]

@darkenedmindband

I wasn't aware of that. Thanks for the heads-up.

[darkenedmindband]

that's how you make a good song without being too complicated!

[markedmusicable]

legend

[ReleasingWeeps]

this summer I spent two weeks in Elba =)

I came up with my best composition... it's really a inspiring place.

and Frank is amazing.

[SCOPOtuaMADRE]

CHITARRISTA GRADEVOLE PORCO DIO!

[alspageddi]

man...i'm really getting into gambale lately. such great tunes, and an amazing player! hope he rolls into New York City sometime soon!

[dorlandosonicNL]

I like this song indeed. Also, I keep repeating myself, but... if you wanna hear FG on FIRE, check out his 'Made In Australia' album. Perhaps you need to get used to his sound on that album, but once you do, it's AWESOME. I think there's stuff uploaded on youtube as well.

[MrGianc]

Never never tired to hear this piece, I can hear thousand times, just because in his music is including everythings: speed, ritme, melody harmony in the sequences of chords,mind of creating Nobel Music, moving in according of feeling music...thanks Frank, Grazie Franco, sei grande, Dio ti benedica!!!!

[munckass]

@MrGianc

Well, you said it :D

Frank is the man

[MrGianc]

boy i repeat , you have to study well the history: exile is when you are sended ,in this case from the english troups, because he wanted take the place of the queen of England,..in the isle of Elba he went by himself for to escape from french peoples `cause they wanted finishing him, so are two different things. In reality Napoleone was sended in a isle of Ogigia Mediterraneo sea,but from history clear explanation was Sant´Elena.

[Pcgonzal]

It's so rare to see so much techinical mastery behind so much "musical" content!

A true Master Musician and composer!

[scottj2112]

nice hair fag

[samboadie]

@scottj2112 wow good one!

[deadtreesembrace]

Isola d'Elba is a beautiful island near tuscany.. I've spent there some week.. very nice! Gambale has italian origins isn't he?? amazing!

[stratofrivo]

I hope someday great players like him get all the deserved recognition from the world! He is awesome! We do love your playing.

[SuperGuitarman69]

@stratofrivo You are so correct. I hate it when I am asked who I think the best guitarist in the world is. I am a Nashville session guy. I play all styles. I was influenced by Brent Mason who is incredible as well. But when I am asked who is the best guitarist in the world. As I was on CMT one day. They expected me giving a Nashville answer, Brent, Johnny Highland, Keith Urban, Brad Paisley etc.. To be humble. Or Hendrix, Vaughn. I smiled and said Frank Gambale hands down. Huh? He said. Lol

[ramiropohle]

@stratofrivo i have the same dream.... but, i think the world needs more education, regular people cant apreciate this master piece.

they're getting stupid with 50 cent, rhianna, lady gagga, reggaeton.......... :/

we are lucky

[frillylizzard]

Beautiful song. Love Frank Gambale's music.

Thanks for posting

[hypersonic12]

This is so Holdsworth! I like Gamebale in that he can create that fusiony, ambient sound and still be melodic in his improvisation.

[guitaralbert0]

yeah, but i think this is more groove oriented music... i love holdsworth, but this locks really well

[benno369]

Great song love the coming to your senses album!!

[huhupao]

what's the meaning of the title of this tune?.

[phenomenalcq]

It's an italian island, near Tuscany

[mouthofacowboy]

It's also the island where Napoleon was exiled to the first time.

[MrGianc]

@mouthofacowboy my dear friend that island where Napoleone Bonaparte went was Sant' Elena and not Isola d'elba, isola d'elba if you don't know it I raccomanded, it's wondeful like this piece of music !

[MrGianc]

@mouthofacowboy my dear friend that island where Napoleone Bonaparte went was Sant' Elena and not Isola d'elba, isola d'elba if you don't know it I raccomanded, it's wondeful like this piece of music, and is located just outside of Toscana region in Italy.

[mouthofacowboy]

@MrGianc As I said earlier, Elba was where he was exiled the first time. Helena was his second place of exile, as seen on this third paragraph on the Wiki page. I could find other sources if you don't trust Wikipedia, but I would recommend researching it for yourself before attempting to correct me. Thank you, friend.

[mouthofacowboy]

@mouthofacowboy Well, I can't post the link to the Wiki page, but search Napoleon I and you'll find it without a doubt.

[bellgrill]

I have this DVD and it's fantastic. It's called Concert with Class and available from Amazon.

[danipana100]

frank il migliore!!tecnica e stile..trio fantastico!!

[Graffo1992]

Frank is a fantastic guitarist.Steve Smith is a magician.Fierabacci is a hammer!!!Very Great trio

[colpoinfernaleomicid]

I hope we can see early a fusion G3 with Frank Gambale - Allan Holdswort - Kiko Loureiro!!!! The infernal trio of guitar

[flahprius]

Great choices, all of them. Though he's a great guitarist, I would replace Kiko with Al DiMeola - definitely three guys that came up at the same time. DiMeola for the alternate picking, Holdsworth for the legato, and Gambale for the economy picking.

[SilveroTuffGuy]

Отличная композиция)

[umkalzum]

could you upload more from this dvd?? thanks a lot!!

[yhea86]

what supreme musicians!

[Power2theFlyingV]

whut the hell withbroken englush!!!!!(get it lol)

[BlooBeluga]

i love 2:55, makes me so happy

[anahowana]

yeah i see, subtle short reggae lines.

[j4zzSukcsfu]

you`re reggae too....

[SoloCommando]

i suggested this gambale dvd to a friend and he said he hated it..."who's he trying to impress?" he said.

this is shit music.

and i'm not asking any one of you...

[CiccioDimundo]

from the album " Coming to your senses"

[huhupao]

just a very nice tune from frank.. amazing!

[tomacoexperiment]

I like this song, remembers me to Allan Holdsworth

[anahowana]

SO LIFTING UP!! whats about a hot chick, exotic coktail a cabriolet car and a free sunny june!

[gordonS2]

I hear a strong influence of Bill Connors's 1984 album "Step It" ( which in my opinion is the best fussion album ever)

[martinguitarspeed]

fantastic song! I love Frank Gambale is the best!

[cicciobassdrum]

Great song!! W Frank and Italy!

[LuisanN]

i love frank's tone!!!!!!!!!!!!

[davidamericana]

very clean !!!!

[DRGasMoney]

i don't know why but i don't really like franks tone. i think it needs more susain or something because it sounds jumpy. awsome song though.

[superdjmartino]

I play guitar for very long time, when I hear Frank I can say He is the best,he is the Master.I enjoy to play and follow him, it's not always easy, this man have been playing day and night for to reach this level, that's mean he has only one thing inside...Lovexmusic!!! Please listen also Pino Daniele(singer too) on youtube, let me know what do you think!!! Take care!

[EpiScintilate]

Love the chordal stuff Frank plays on the later albums, the sound just runs through your soul. I've got to get that DVD.

[D0dson]

I think that it's so great that you can tell just by looking at them how incredibly connected with their instrument they are. They're having so much fun and being really fucking bad ass at it at the same time. This stuff makes life worth living lol

[cerz1982]

fantastic

[kumanalex]

sorry a mean there ARE two modes person to exist...

[kumanalex]

YOU know IT is like the philosophers have said ..,there is two mode of life ..to have or to be...that`s why most jazz musicians are not so wellknown nevertheless they are so great musicians

[11episodiosinfonicos]

why the people don't know this guy?

all the people talk about vai and satriani

but he is better than.-!

muakisses

[gunfart]

duh

[y7u7r7i]

Yeah this is just awesome... actually I loved all the 'concert with class' videos... so good to see gambale solo

[flodamanatee]

A Masterpiece...almost too good!!! could listen to this a million times.  anybody with the dvd learn the guitar part?

[cheerypessimist]

I'm about 1/4 of the way through learning this one. At this rate I expect to be playing the whole thing by around 2012...
