Oh my god it sounds so bad it's beyond understanding (and inb4 you say I don't know anything about music and should listen to Rihanna -> I'm a big metal, jazz, and classical fan)
If you wanna hear Frank rip like hell in a "Rock" format buy a rare rock album he produced and played on called "Big Franklin." It is so sick. I got it on iTunes. The whole album is great. It has a song called "Mama Said" that has so much feel and soul that you want to either quit or practice for the rest of your life !!!!!!
totally insane playing.. love it but I'm a guitar nut.. can't say my wife would like this or even understand how ahrd it is to play.. she'd just say what is that ?
Frank is here pwning the instrument shredding at sick levels while looking like a sleazy porno-movie actor from the early eighties or a coke dealer from the same period with the stache, loud-oversized shades, large metallic wrist watch, and teal button-down-hawaiian shirt. All he needs is a big gold pinky ring.
I bet he is proud of this solo, if not his Miami Vice attire, from this period. He is kickin' ass up and down that fretboard. He makes all those sweeps look easy until you try em'
lmfao good point. But old Frank could come on stage donning clown's attire, flippers on his feet and his ass painted blue... and we'd still be there in a stupefied dazed with our jaws hanging on the floor in awe.
The trick with sweeps (I'll bet you already know this, but if you don't...) is to keep them measured and steady. Too many players try to whip off a really fast sweep, and they sacrifice accuracy. Even a methodic sweep is gonna be WAY fast. Make sure each note is played cleanly. On most sweeps, I start the sweep with an upstroke which allows me to be moving in the right direction for the remainder of the sweep. I'll upstroke the final note if necessary. Do it backwards and it's much harder.
he 's just insane... that is what i call a KILLER solo! i have the whole concert on album...and there are many other tunes that really shreds that guitar! FG rulez!
