Much of this article reads as though it was taken directly from a promotional bio in the artist's web site. Which, in fact, it was (apparently with permission, so that's fine). I made one minor change, then realized there were many many more to go.

[edit] Clean up

The article it seems isn't so much not fulfilling NPOV as being too informal. And it does read like something that's on a fan site. I'm going to add a clean up tag. Justinmeister 21:09, 13 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] A Re-write is in order

This requires a complete rewrite. It says nothing about Frank's life, his unique playing style, etc. His "biography" consists of talking about what name brand guitars he's endorsed along with a few random facts.

[edit]

It came from:

I took a bunch of stuff out, rewrote some. I'll clean it up when I get a chance. Rx StrangeLove 23:34, 14 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] WikiProject class rating

This article was automatically assessed because at least one WikiProject had rated the article as start, and the rating on other projects was brought up to start class. BetacommandBot 16:08, 31 August 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Some album pages added

Like I have done with Tony MacAlpine and Greg Howe previously (and plan to with a few more guitarists), I have managed to create separate album pages for Gambale's first eight solo albums; those of which I physically own and from which I can verify information, anyway. These do not include his GHS work or other collaborations – solo only for now. Hopefully this can be a step towards improving this rather sparse biography page!
