You were closer to him than most, I can sense your sorrow in this performance. It's been a difficult time for most people this last year. Take care frank from Ireland...
Chick Corea has worked with lots of great guitar players from Mike Miller to Bill Connors to Charles Altura to guitar legends such as Al Di Meola, John McLaughlin and Scott Henderson but I consider Frank Gambale to not only be his main collaborator in virtually all of his projects from solo to RTF IV to the Elektric Band but he is the best guitarist he has ever played with. He is a true team player who cares so much about the music and isn't just about shredding and chops, he is an incredible versatile musician on both electric and acoustic guitars but can play any style of genre from jazz to rock to latin to fusion. Frank Gambale is the whole complete package and this is a beautiful fitting tribute to one of the greatest of all time. RIP Eternal Child
My great friend Gambale !!!! Chick Corea at Elektric Band with you, was the best band fusion ever !! A all my affection to you !!!! Jefferson Schmidt/ Brasil 🇧🇷 Guitar and Mandolim
Thank you "Uncle" Frank. Sending much love to you and your family. Missing my Pops every day and your tribute is so filled with warmth and thankfulness.
Thank you for sharing this and giving us a glimpse into your kind soul during a moment of reflection, Frank. Chicks music brings out the Eternal Child in all of us...your contribution to his music and the E. Band really kicked it up several notches. Never lose sight of that child inside of you...
I expected nothing short of seeing the genius pouring out his heart and soul in memory of the "eternal child." Somewhere up there Chick is smiling that unmistakable smile of his reacting to this deeply soulful and heartfelt tribute!
R.I.P. Chick thanks for being there with yours Life for music. Thank you, Frank, for your musical statement He will live on in his music and actually always be there...
As an impressionable 15 year old I was introduced to Chick Corea and opened the path to awaken the musician in me. It was a sad day when I read that he had ascended to a higher dimension. In the last two weeks I find myself walking the earth alone as my sister and mother both ascended to a higher dimension. These wonderful human beings were my guides in life. RIP mom, sis and Chick. You are deeply missed.
Que delifadeza y que sentimiento hacia el 'gentle genius' de Chick. Dos genios que crearon auténticas obras maestras. Cuanta emotividad que llega al alma. Thanks Frank 🎸❤️🎹
Dear Frank Gambale I understand your words and I can hear in your interpretation the sadness for the departure of your friend Chick Corea, who for me has been and is a great reference in music and I admire him for all the music he has left us. Your melodies have always captivated me and today I have been able to listen to them once more with my heart because you always play with your heart. God bless you Frank.
So beautiful. The King of Shred with no note too much (even if he shreds) showing what we all wish to give Chicks soul on her way to the light: Love and respect !!! Thank you frank and especially thank you Chick, you made my life richer !!!
Frank, your Way to touch the strings is Unique. To me you are one of the very few greatest guitarists the world gave us the privilege to have, together with your friends musicians of the incredible Chick Corea Band. And So has he Been among others. I am sure He appreciated this fabulous performance. You are Great Sir! God bless you
Ricordo con immensa emozione il concerto di Chick Corea-eletric band, al teatro tenda (Napoli 1990), lì davanti ai tuoi occhi quella sensazione d'immenso che non sai spiegare. Che tempi!!
Befitting tribute, from one Great Master to another fellow Genius Musician, the one and only Chic Corea. No more Electric Band, no more Return to Forever, no more Accoustic Band ......The inimitable Music and electrifying performances will always be treasured. The Music World is poorer for the loss. Thank you FG!
Complimenti vivissimi Frank veramente un tributo bellissimo ad un genio dei nostri tempi che credo abbia condiviso con te l'amore per la musica. Grazie
Caro Frank la perdita inaspettata del grandioso Chick Corea ha lasciato un vuoto pazzesco tra i fun e il mondo musicale di spessore , immagino per te e tutti i suoi fedeli amici cosa possa significare, eravate una gran bella famiglia di musical' Genius che ha stupito per gran parte del secolo scorso un sacco di fedeli lasciandoci a bocca aperta e orecchie ed occhi spalancati dallo stupore di tanta Magnificenza in un solo colpo . Credo che tutto il mondo musicale deve tantissimo al Maestro Corea in qualità di capostipite di questa grande famiglia ! Purtroppo haime' ! Vi ho potuto ascoltare live solo una volta nel 1990 al teatro Tenda di Napoli ,la mia bella Città ,ero un ragazzino alle prime note e quella notte tornai a casa così allibito , felice e impressionato dallo stupore che avevo provato quella sera! Per la prima volta non era solo la chitarra il mio strumento di riferimento ad avermi folgorato in pieno ma anche tutti gli altri strumenti ! Sensazione spettacolare , tanti geni della musica in un solo ascolto. Ecco cosa dobbiamo tutti noi al mitico Armando Corea detto Cick , la sua grande passione e devozione verso la musica, ci ha lasciato un repertorio fantastico e tutti voi .: la sua famiglia come seguito della sua genialità e del suo immenso lavoro . Grazie a te Frank e a tutti voi, le mie più sentite condoglianze per il Maestro , possa lui continuare a stupire ovunque sia e a godere della sua Musica . A presto.
Thank you Frank. Beautiful heartfelt words! I got a lump in my throat when I saw the news... but we're grateful for his eternal inspiration to countless generations
Despite the sheer beauty of Frank's playing, I hear this surrounded by an ocean of sadness...it's really hard to contain losing Chick as a listener, you could imagine how much harder it is for those who worked with him!
buon pomeriggio. uno dei più grandi chitarristi di una delle principali band di un autentico genio qual'è stato il compiantissimo chick corea. mi piace assicurato.
this is so touching and really reaches into Chick's persona and Spanish heart. I am so grieved at his passing and our loss of this truly unique and passionate musician. Having played his music since the 70's as a trumpet player and drummer, I feel like a big part of me has died right along with Chick. Frank, you too are such a treat with your approach to improvisation, playing and ensemble performance. You feeling and fire is right up there with Chick's. This tribute to Chick is fitting, and you are definitely the guy to provide us with it, as we sit and listen, and recall our moments of joy with Chick, and with you. Thank You.
The harmonic motion in this piece is so beautiful, and Frank's lines bring it out so emotively. One of my favourite tracks on EotB, which is my favourite Elektric Band album. An absolute masterpiece of composition and playing. RIP, Chick.
R.I.P. Chick, you were a great musical genius, mentor and inspiration to countless numbers of musicians. I know you made a huge impact on Franks life, mine and many others. We will keep your inspiration, spirit of play and constant creating always in our hearts.

Frank, Beautiful tribute to the genius Chick Corea! Just like you Chick was an inspiration, a Jedi master, of world music. I feel the loss as if it were part of the family because Chick was enlightened for everyone. And you are privileged to have lived with Chick. With affection! Strong hug.
I still can't believe Chick passed away. I was first exposed to Chick's masterpieces in the early 90s, and since then, his music always accompanied me through my life til now. Back in the early 90s, I had his album in a cassette format, and then CDs, VHS, Laser Disc and so on and now on RUclips
What a beautiful tribute. "Eternal Child" is one of my favorite Chick Corea Elektric Band songs, and one of your most inspiring guitar solos. Thank you.
Frank, I saw you with Chick, in The Elektric Band at the Royal Festival Hall, many years ago, when we both still had a lot of black hair! I later, saw and met you at a guitar masterclass in Hitchin, sponsored by Laney Amps, in our conversation you made clear, your love and admiration of Chick, but not as eloquently as in this beautiful piece, where the emotion in the playing, goes way beyond words. His loss is great but his legacy and memory will be greater.
Dear Frank, I'm a guitar fan and I've always said that I don't like the sound of a "clean" acoustic guitar played with a pick so much, but honestly, this video is an exception and I think it's because listening to your interpretation of "The Eternal Child" gave me the impression that Chick Corea himself was playing it from a very strange and distant place ... unreachable for us
"For me, music speaks louder than words ever could and it is with that sentiment that I offer this video." Thank You Frank.
You were closer to him than most, I can sense your sorrow in this performance. It's been a difficult time for most people this last year. Take care frank from Ireland...
Chick Corea has worked with lots of great guitar players from Mike Miller to Bill Connors to Charles Altura to guitar legends such as Al Di Meola, John McLaughlin and Scott Henderson but I consider Frank Gambale to not only be his main collaborator in virtually all of his projects from solo to RTF IV to the Elektric Band but he is the best guitarist he has ever played with.
He is a true team player who cares so much about the music and isn't just about shredding and chops, he is an incredible versatile musician on both electric and acoustic guitars but can play any style of genre from jazz to rock to latin to fusion. Frank Gambale is the whole complete package and this is a beautiful fitting tribute to one of the greatest of all time.

Your guitar is crying for him.... and so are you.... and so are we
R.I.P dear Chick Corea. Thank you Mr. Gambale 🙏🏻
Grew up with his music and a I feel like part of me gone, but you played with him I feel your pain man... RIP Armando
Beautiful tribute Frank. His musical soul is now "forever".
You can really tell when music is from the heart
Thank you Mr. Gambale for reminding us the true meaning of music
Music speaks louder than Words! God bless Frank
Just so beautiful. Thanks for the constant inspiration Frank. His music will live on forever!
4 minutes and 30 seconds of one instrument playing only notes and watching it till the end without get bored.
Chick has returned to forever.
His music will stay here until the Sun stops shining.
Thanks for the tribute.
Thank you for sharing this and giving us a glimpse into your kind soul during a moment of reflection, Frank.
Chicks music brings out the Eternal Child in all of us...your contribution to his music and the E. Band really kicked it up several notches. Never lose sight of that child inside of you...
Well said.I agree.
Magnifique mélodie. J'ai vu 3 fois l' Elektric Band sur scène, merveilleux souvenirs d'un musicien qui me manque déjà
Made me cry. At the end of the day Chick. Well done. Thanks Mr. Gambale.
So many of us, fans, are sad but it must be truly heartbreaking to those who played with him. Beautiful tribute.
R.I.P. Chick
Grazie Frank. Bellissimo tributo. Chick lascia un vuoto incolmabile nella storia della musica.
I expected nothing short of seeing the genius pouring out his heart and soul in memory of the "eternal child." Somewhere up there Chick is smiling that unmistakable smile of his reacting to this deeply soulful and heartfelt tribute!

Eye of the Beholder was the first Compact Disc I ever bought. Beautiful melody by the maestro.
RIP Chick.
Merci Frank pour cet "éternel enfant" qui sommeille en chacun de nous et qui nous rappelle à nos beaux souvenirs... Que d'émotions et de subtilités...
