Frank Gambale / Acoustic improvisation / Fortune /

Frank Gambale's "Acoustic Improvisation"s DVD follows the success of his first acoustic trio recording, "Natural High". This video features his trio, Natural Hight Live, with Otmaro Ruiz on piano, Alain Caron on bass, and Frank on acoustic guitar. After blowing through seven jaw-dropping performances with his world class band, Frank sits down for a candid one-on-one session about jazz improvisation. Using the changes to "All The Things You Are" as a foundation, Frank teaches a series of ideas for improvising over classic ii-V progressions using 3rds and 7ths, chord extensions, Phrygian, super Locrian. and diminished ideas. Frank incorporates rhythmic and melodic motifs and much, much more.

Fact: the best guitar players are always the ones that are either bald, fat, have funny names, have ludicrously misshapen fingers, black, look like Jesus, or wear a mask over their face and a bucket over their head.

Trading fours with a keyboard player that great would be a suicide mission for most guitar players. Frank isn't most guitar players...

All he needs is a hat, bullet belt and boots, and he'd be as good as Slash.

@Modes9 This is true. But the raspy up-front sound helps clarify his solos. Beautiful from a  generous guy. See his lessons on YT.
