Thanks, Kris! What a great solo by such a great player!

Frank was one of my teachers at GIT back in 1983. He went through the school a year or two ahead of me, then they had him teaching, showing everybody his sweep picking technique.

Man, I am just shaking my head! I love the way he built the solo, and then ended with those fast, fast runs. I also like how he stuck in those chord fragments and double stops. Thank, Kris.

[Alter]

And what a band!

[Flat]

those chord fragments and double stops.

Yeah, those parts really make the solo, don't they? Breaks up all the fast single line bits. Sweet ear candy!

[MMT]

Man, that was sweet! I recently started going through his solo albums and there's a lot of brilliant playing there!

Thank you for the transcription. That whole show is full of fine playing.

Gambale tend to be overlooked or underappreciated. He's a stellar player. Some of his higher profile albums (Thunder, Live, etc.) have sounds on themthat are very 80s and haven't aged particularly well, but his playing was always a lot better than he got credit for
