Frank Gambale (/ɡæmˈbɑːlɪ/ gam‑BAH‑lee; born 22 December 1958) is an Australian jazz fusion guitarist. Over the course of three decades, he has released twenty albums and is widely recognized for his use of sweep picking and economy picking techniques. Gambale graduated from the Guitar Institute of Technology in Hollywood with Student of the Year honors and taught there from 1984 to 1986. As part of the Mark Varney Project—alongside Allan Holdsworth, Brett Garsed, and Shawn Lane—he recorded two albums: Truth in Shredding (1990) and Centrifugal Funk (1991). Beginning in 1987, he spent six years as a member of the Chick Corea Elektric Band, performing with Eric Marienthal, John Patitucci, and Dave Weckl. During this period he recorded five albums with the group and received two Grammy Award nominations. He also spent twelve years as a member of Vital Information, led by Steve Smith. Gambale later reunited with the Elektric Band in 2002, and again with Corea in 2011 when he joined Return to Forever IV alongside Stanley Clarke, Jean‑Luc Ponty, and Lenny White. Gambale served as head of the guitar department at the Los Angeles Music Academy. In 2014, he joined the Isina mentorship program as head of the guitar department. The following year, he launched an online guitar school.
