Want to call him underrated but anyone who knows guitarists know he’s great. Overlooked might be the best way to describe Frank Hannon. He’s a hidden gem for sure.
Totally agree with overlooked. Both Frank and Tommy Skeoch on those first 3 Tesla albums had some awesome playing and riff's. Dont De Rock Me is one of my favorite tunes from these guys!! They took the "hair" out of Hair Metal and made it what I like to call Modern Classic Hard Rock

I think Frank makes it look so effortless, that people tend to think it was easy, guitar players who’ve tried to play these songs and keep up know better. I’ve seen them live pretty much anytime they come through Arizona and they never disappoint!

This is a classic representation of who Frank is. We grew up in neighborhoods near each other and I ran across him a few times. Humble, just a "regular Joe" who is genuine. I'd see them in the City Kidd days and was front row for their first Tesla tour as an opening act in Sacramento. Frank and Tommy both are so immensely underrated as musicians. When I want to remember the good times, I cue up me some Tesla.
I agree. I seen them live being a guitar player down. He was awesome and sounded great. I know every song on the first 3 albums. Very big influence in my playing
Tesla's such a great band. Always felt they didn't get the praise and recognition they deserved like a lot of the biggest bands of the 80s received. Thank you Gibson TV for doing this. God bless ya', Frank Hannon. Huge influence. - Manny of The Ticking Clocks

I'm 68 years old and been listening to Tesla since my early 30's. Always rated Frank as one of the top all time never mind 80's rock guitarists. Mechanical Resonance was and still is a classic album, great to listen to Frank's insights on it. Also he comes across really well as a great guy. Love it.
Excellent video. Frank Hannon and Tesla are top shelf rock n' roll gems. I still have all their records from the eighties and early nineties. Frank was a great inspiration for me to learn guitar. I remember learning the solo from Love Song by ear from the record. Great music and great memories. Frank is one of the best rock guitarist of all time.

He's not just one of the greats when it comes to playing guitar , but also one of the greatest teachers of it as well ! His phrasing is awesome . I am myself just now getting into Tesla , a band I overlooked in the 80's . I wished I wouldn't have . Smh . Thank you Jesus for Frank Hannon , and Tommy Skeoch , including the rest of their band mates . Thank you Gibson , for sharing this with the rest of the world ! ! ! Keep it going !
It ain't what you got, it's what you give. That is one of the best songs ever recorded and this riff is amazing. I can listen to that song or watch the video over and over. Tesla is definitely something special.

Freakin loved this! Tesla was such a big band for me during my high school years. We need more of this Gibson guitar riff lessons stuff. Keep them coming.

Frank is a bad ass for sure! I just saw them in Irvine, Ca. for the sixth time and they were just as good as ever. People who don't know about Frank certainly should.
Frank Hannon is right other with alex lifeson, rocky from suicidal tendencies, etc that often get overlooked and never should be. Truly phenomenal players that deserve more spotlight

@@frankhannon8943 That's deep! you were my inspiration.. such beautiful sounds.. Thank you for creating the music that helped us through life! gratitude!
One person who gifted Frank a red SG was the late great true genius in Steve 'The Riffmaster' Clark. Tesla opened for Leppard and both bands got along extremely well in general - but Steve and Frank became very close friends in particular. In one of their most classic songs you'll always see Frank point to the heavens in a sigh of enduring respect and affection for Steve, paying homage to a man who was the real genius of Leppard. The primary song writer, creator of some of rocks most timeless iconic melodies, harmonies, hooks, bends and of course 'riffs". Hence the nickname "The Riffmaster". The story of Steve surprising Frank with a SG as a gift is one of the most precious examples of how truly sweet 'Steamin' was. And live Steve was a true rock God. He oozed genuine cool strapped SO low. He was the one the fans came to see, and geez the video footage as rare as it is today reminds all.
So glad to see Frank getting some love,what a great guitarist and part of one of the strongest two guitar bands from that era ,his parts are just right ,such a talent and such a humble person.
Frank is such an amazing guitar player! He is so humble! Mentioning Tommy and giving him the credit that he so deserves shows Frank doesn’t feel the need to act like he can’t share the vibe like some musicians might do just to make themselves sound better than they actually are. Frank knows he doesn’t have to be selfish and hog all the glory ! This shows he is just a great all around guy! Not only is he a great guitar player he is an amazing singer as well! Such an iconic talent! Frank you are the complete package . I have had the honor of meeting he and the band several times thought out the years and each time they treated me like I was one of their long time friends and not just a job! It was a very special time in my life and Frank I have enjoyed you and all your special talents and hope there are more good times in the future! Keep rocking and entertaining cause you are the best there is! Believe the hype!

My favorite guitarist ....I saw them in OH in early millennium...it was flawless best concert I've ever been to...unbelievable I hoped to hear freedom slaves they didn't play it I was bummed a little. The rest was perfect..2thumbs up..awesome video.
Dam... the intro, commin at cha live, i believe that was. The very beginning of their 1st album n he just played it to a T. sounded just as recorded way back then. Their 1st n 2nd album is absolutely great! I still blast it to this day!
Its awesome to hear this info straight from the source. Tesla to me one of the greatest of all time. The music they made has a beautiful yet kick you in the nuts kind of sound.
Biggest fan from Denver. There just aren’t words to describe how much I love Tesla and how much your music has meant in my life. I will watch this video thousands of times as I finally have picked up my guitar again and try to learn your songs primarily!
Thank you Frank for taking the time to show us the nuts and bolts of some of your greatest tunes. I loved your Band and your music since the very beginning. Listening brings me back to some of the best times of my life when I was also playing. Though I still love and play guitar I can’t burn the candle at both ends like I used to do . Thank you for being a regular guy that everyone can relate to. That was an incredible time in music. Miss it man .
Might be my favorite 2 guitar combos of all time. Great riffs. Great harmonies. They complimented each other so well. Always loved Frank's leads too. Great stuff without all the flash in the pan that the 80s were so baked with.
Mechanical Resonance, in my opinion, is one of the all time great albums. Such an incredible debut! Every rock fan should have it in their collection. The Great Radio Controversy is also a great album. Tesla are very underrated.
An American barman working in London that I became friendly with lent me Mechanical Resonance on cassette around 1991 and it blew me away,thanks for these lessons Frank I’ve loved your playing and band from the moment I first heard you.
I’m a total thrash and death metal player but man I love Frank. He’s one of my biggest heroes. I love Tesla and Frank was one of the reasons I wanted to play guitar as a kid. That dude is a national treasure.
That Modern Day Cowboy riff is as underrated as any riff on planet earth. So..so. so.. truly amazing and influential. What a great thing Frank did... giving credit where it was due. Makes my heart happy.

It's been a while since this was posted... My buddies and I road tripped from Ft Ord Ca to " Day on the Green " Oakland stadium I think it was ? 1987 maybe...during intermission a track from Tesla [ they weren't performing] started playing and We all looked at each other in amazement 🤩 A moment I wont forget... been a Loyal follower since .. Thank You Frank ... from a former soldier who served to protect freedom ..but more import to me ...🎼🎶🎸🎶🎶
About 15 years ago, I saw him testing pedals playing in guitar center in Sacramento and didn't know who he was, I commented to another guy watching "Damn that guy is good" he replied yes he is that's Frank Hannon of Tesla.
Simply an incredible guitar player and teacher and an even better human being. Frank will always be a hero and an inspiration to me. Thank you Frank Hannon!

I've been saying it for years. The guy from Tesla is a helluva player. Everybodys like "who?"
I love that he mentions Tommy. I think he misses him in the band as much as we do. Tommy is amazing.
I love his message. Your guitar isn't a job, its your friend. It will always be there. Make it a part of your life and you will never regret it.

Good work Gibson TV. Frank is undeniably one of the greatest guitarists and songwriters of the 80’s. Tesla are absolute legends.
He was an absolute prince of an interview subject, so much knowledge and personality to give.
That’s not saying much
I agree. I seen them live being a guitar player down. He was awesome and sounded great. I know every song on the first 3 albums. Very big influence in my playing
Not.
Amen to that!
Tesla's such a great band. Always felt they didn't get the praise and recognition they deserved like a lot of the biggest bands of the 80s received. Thank you Gibson TV for doing this. God bless ya', Frank Hannon. Huge influence. - Manny of The Ticking Clocks
You're mechanical resonance album is my desert island album.. a masterpiece! Thank God I was born in the 70s to hear all this great music
I’ve known frank for a very long time. He’s a wonderful human, and rock royalty in more ways than one. All my best to he and Christy
I hope those guys are getting by OK through the unexpected break. I’m buying tickets to every show I can to help them recover
Very cool of Frank for giving the shoutout and credit to Tommy Skeoch on the Modern Day Cowboy Riff.
What a great band
YES SIR!!! Frank Hannon is an amazing Riff Lord and I thank Gibson for giving him the chance to share his talent with those who didn't know.

Killer band, killer guitarist. Just saw them summer 2023 in Philly, they still sounded fantastic!!! Thanks for the awesome video!!!
Frank Hannon is an excellent player, song writer, and a equally great teacher of technique and style👍🏻👍🏻🏁🏁🎶🎶
Thank you @FrankHannon

Excellent video. Frank Hannon and Tesla are top shelf rock n' roll gems. I still have all their records from the eighties and early nineties. Frank was a great inspiration for me to learn guitar.

he is criminally underrated Tesla deserves more spot light
My favorite guitarist of the 80's...Frank Hannon provided the soundtrack for my life largely during that decade.
In a sea of hair metal and candy rock of the mid 80’s, Tesla were a great straight up rock band. Mechanical resonance is a fantastic album.
Definitely

My buddies and I road tripped from Ft Ord Ca to " Day on the Green " Oakland stadium I think it was ? 1987 maybe...during intermission a track from Tesla [ they weren't performing] started playing and We all looked at each other in amazement 🤩 A moment I wont forget... been a Loyal follower since .. Thank You Frank ... from a former soldier who served to protect freedom ..but more import to me ...🎼🎶🎸🎶🎶
Grew up in Sacramento watching them as City Kid at the bars before they switched to Tesla. Proud of them as a great band from Sac!
About 15 years ago, I saw him testing pedals playing in guitar center in Sacramento and didn't know who he was, I commented to another guy watching "Damn that guy is good" he replied yes he is that's Frank Hannon of Tesla.
The man not only comes up with amazing riffs and music but he actually knows his fretboard and understands how it works!
Love it! Tesla has been a great band for decades. Thank you Frank. Also, 23 people need to have their heads examined.
Simply an incredible guitar player and teacher and an even better human being. Frank will always be a hero and an inspiration to me. Thank you Frank Hannon!
What a humble guy...awesome as this is one of my favorites..
