His technical abilities are amazing, and so are his teaching abilities. This is not the video for you if you want to learn theory, but if you want to get better at playing guitar, you must own a copy of this video! As the title clearly states, this is a guitarists 'workout' video. It is not a technical, theoretical, or a licks n tricks video. There are so many good and not so good theory videos out there if that is your purpose, however, don't forget that theory is a small part of playing guitar! So don't be fooled, there are no magic pills that you can take to be a better player, it takes practice, dedication, and boring exercises. Frank's humor turns the most mundane guitar task (exercising) in to a fun and enjoyable workout. Expect to build your chops if you faithfully follow his routines. This video comes with a 74 page booklet that has all of the exercises in tab and standard notation, and I may add that the booklet is one of the better ones I have seen compared to the cheesy ones that usually accompany instructional videos.Frank covers many types of exercises in his regiment of exercises: Alternate picking triplets, Alternate picking sixteenth notes, Combination triplets and sixteenth notes, Major scales and their modes, Melodic minor modes, Harmonic minor modes, Diminished and whole tone scales, Interval scales and patterns, Chromatic exercises, String skipping, Sweep picking triad arpeggios, Hammer-ons and Pull-offs, Stretch voicings, Blues progressions, and much more.This video delivers what it claims to: An unbeatable chops workout. No matter if you have just started playing guitar, or have been playing for 25 years as I have, you will benefit from using Frank's chop building routines. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5.0 out of 5 stars I pretty much agree with the other reviewers here - it's ... *by S***Y on Reviewed in the United States on June 11, 2016* I pretty much agree with the other reviewers here - it's not meant for a beginner although a beginner with an immense amount of patience and practice could go from newbie to advanced technique-wise once all of the rounds are mastered. The VLC player which is freely available for Windows users is something you can use to slow down the speed of the video without changing the pitch of the music. There is also a free Guitar Pro tab somewhere out there on the internet that you could also use as well to supplement your learning of this material. I have had this DVD for over 1 1/2 years and have used it off an on and haven't even mastered Round 3 yet even though my teachers (a couple of well-known players) consider me an advanced player! This DVD is meant to build up endurance through repetition of technique over and over. I would also warn people to take frequent breaks or not spend too many hours on the same round, I got a RSI in my left forearm from doing Round 2 repetitively for 4 hours straight. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5.0 out of 5 stars as far as instructional videos go, this is it.... *by J***S on Reviewed in the United States on October 29, 2009* This video I borrowed extensively from a friend of mine. At first I watched it and was impressed by the technical prowess, as usual from such an instructional video but quickly logged it off as another guitarist shred manifesto that I would never take time to learn but alas here I am writing a five star review for it. It, for me, is the perfect instructional vid. It's a well laid out, steady one hour guitar workout that is definantely a workout! I haven't achieved that yet in a single guitar instructional video I own. Not a lot of in between riff jibber-jaber but it is well explained instruction and the tab/notation book included, outlining each passage and excersise makes it "NOT EASY" by any stretch as Frank Gambale is one of the true masters and makes no bones about how remidial this is to him as us meir mortals may sweat it. So, yeah, you should get it, if you want my opinion, it is the most optimized instructional DVD, for me. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.com.sa/products/21302526-chop-builder-frank-gambale](https://www.desertcart.com.sa/products/21302526-chop-builder-frank-gambale) --- *Product available on Desertcart Saudi Arabia* *Store origin: SA* *Last updated: 2026-04-29*
