Frank Gambale is the ultimate Jazz Fusion guitar player. He is also an intellectual musician with more useful theory than any college professor.
Frank’s level of melodic and harmonic virtuosity is unrivalled. I have greatly benefited from his courses, and other fellow guitar players I know, who also seriously studied Frank’s lessons for years, are considered TOP Players by the music community.
Sincerely,
Sergio Nevarez
I had taken 2 yrs of College Jazz and played for about 10 yrs when I was first introduced to Frank Gambale’s music. I fell in love right away, through the media outlets I heard about his books and classes. For the past 10 years I have pretty much dedicated myself to Franks approach, how it fits with my ability and understanding. Every book or course I have purchase I have seen progress like never before. I have never been in a rut, don’t know what that means truly. You will find out that there is so much material for the dollar, a lot of meat on the bone.
Mr Gambale I thank God every day for you. Your MUSIC change my life in a way I almost can’t explain for the better in every way.
May God continue to inspire you.

I have followed Mr Gambale’s work since I was a kid starting guitar , I had the pleasure of meeting this amazing musician at 53 , this guy blew my mind with his skill and intellect with the guitar, he is a true virtuoso and is a hell of a teacher. His courses are easy to digest and the info is enlightening. He has the ability to cut through and get to where you want to be, dependant on how much you want to learn …
Thanks Frank as always your humble student

Prior to his books and videos, I was shifting randomly among various approaches to the guitar. Frank's material provided a consistent system to learn from and gauge my progress. I particularly like that he provides the theoretical background for the courses, in addition to the hands-on work and real-world applications. I have benefited tremendously from Frank's teaching and continue to do so.
Thanks,

Before starting Frank's courses, I'd been playing guitar for years but felt plateaued—my picking was inconsistent and stiff, I leaned heavily on rote patterns without much real understanding of the fretboard, and my solos often came out sounding mechanical rather than expressive.
Things improved noticeably after working through his sweep and economy picking lessons, improvisation, Pentatonic Heaven, along with the Peace & Harmony series: my technique gained a lot more fluidity, the modes and harmony concepts started connecting in a musical way, and I began paying real attention to phrasing and dynamics instead of just chasing speed.
I'm proud of the significant improvement I've made when tackling playing over changes—I can now navigate them with more confidence and intention, my lines feel more connected to the harmony, and overall I'm a more musical and capable player than I was before.

I’ve been playing guitar for more than 64 years, and it’s rare for a course to genuinely show me something new. Although I’m quite fluent in jazz blues and traditional blues styles, there has always been something special about the way Frank Gambale approaches the blues.
I recently enrolled in his course, “Spicing Up the Blues,” and it immediately elevated my playing to a new level. Frank clearly demonstrates how to combine pentatonics, double stops, chromaticism, b5 substitutions, and the altered scale in a musical way that makes your playing sound modern and unique.
All the concepts are clearly explained in the accompanying videos and PDFs, and there are backing tracks that make practicing the ideas both easy and enjoyable.
Thank you, Frank, for sharing your knowledge with the global guitar community and for helping me reach a new musical height.

I have been playing guitar for over 30 years doing gigs. Peace & Harmony is a great course; Frank gives the most logical explanation and easy to understand approach to learning music online that I have ever used, it helped me become a better guitar player in so many ways.

Frank Gambale is not only one of the greatest guitarists, but also an exceptional teacher. His books, videos, and online courses are outstanding. Technique Book I , that became the basis of the Peace & Harmony course, was a game-changer for me—it introduced me to superimposition and truly opened up the entire fretboard, giving me a whole new approach to soloing. His teaching materials are invaluable and essential for any serious guitarist. Thank you, Frank! 🎸

I have found Frank's courses to be well organized and explained logically in detail. This allowed for ease in grasping, practicing and internalizing the material. I was aware of many of your concepts but was not quite sure how to approach them. Your courses allowed a clear path for me to follow and start assimilating this material into my playing. Thank you so much! The following courses opened my eyes and ears tremendously : Playing Outside, Triad Heaven, Target Tones and Spicing Up the Blues. Thank you so much!
