Has anyone here ever heard of him? More specifically, has anyone here ever heard him accompany the Empire Brass Quartet on the recording Braggin' in Brass, or play with the tubist Sam Pilifian in the recording Travelin' Light?

 

I find whatever style of jazz accompaniment he plays to be quite interesting, but do not know in which style it can be categorized. I would like to try dabbling in such jazz guitar, but not knowing what type of jazz guitar it is, I don't know where to look for learning resources.

 

Any suggestions? Does anyone know what type of jazz guitar he plays? Any resource suggestions for learning a bit of such jazz guitar?

I saw Frank two summers ago. It was him, his long time percussion buddy, a bassist, and a young hotlickin' guitarist name "Vinnie".

 

He covered the gamut that night. I think Tico Tico was his on Gypsy tune. He did some ii-V vamps, along with the music from the CD he was promoting. The new music was VERY Frank Zappa-ish...he was living up to his first name!

 

After that show I wrote a review of it for my buddies who unfortunately had to miss the show. I'll find it and post it.

 

I had a chance to talk to him. He still teaches and has a little "online" teaching emporium were he and others do online lessons.

 

If you go to http://guitarplayertv.com he has some video lessons for free there. I think he has about 6 lessons covering some Chromatic stuff.

 

Great player and and seemed very nice.
