Frank is so much more than a "shredder" or inventor of sweep - he's a thought, rythmic, melodic player who always plays exactly the right thing. Hat off.

Now Shawn Lane with Chick Corea that would have been amazing! Check out Shawn Lane on Google Plus. adios.

Everyone keeps throwing Shawn Lane's name in this genre.Lane had his own thing and was great but he by no means should be compared with fusion guys like Gambale-Totally different vocabularies and Gambale plays over chord changes that take quite a bit a study to play over while making some kind of statement while not just playing a bunch of patterns/scales/arpeggios. Gambale has made his mark in his genre as an innovator just as Lane has in his.

@Easleytee I mean, Lane was almost metaphysical. But when you get to their level, the skill is overwhelming. They both made good music, that's what counts.

Hey modes9, there is nothing "cheesy" about Chick's Flamenco inspired stuff. Try listening to some Segovia and maybe...just maybe...you'll begin to understand what Corea already knows.

@Easleytee that is very very true.....overall can argue
