    As befits the instrument that he's playing, this guy somehow has a bass face and a mean solo face simultaneously.

    Love Charlie, you can get lost in the fact he’s playing an extended range guitar but what is really incredible about him is his touch and sense of rhythm. A truly unique guitarist.

    Can't believe I've not heard of this champ, such a tasteful player. When you said extended range, with the lowered low strings... I wasn't expecting such a gorgeous clean tone.

    • @LeviClay
      @LeviClay  Рік тому +6

      yeah man! The secret is the stereo output so you can EQ those strings and process them just like a bass!

      @Levi Clay Yeah that's some quality engineering. Been tempted to delve into extended range so that's something I'll be looking into, very cool. I'm so used to extended range guitars being used for heavy music, or sometimes classical but I haven't heard one played like this. Buttery smooth.

    I've seen many players across the musical spectrum, but regardless of Instrument or genre, this is some of THE most TASTEFUL playing I've EVER heard.
    Honestly, the only time I've heard more tasteful playing is by Mr. Victor Wooten himself. This is legendary.

      @@LeviClay im not sure. If you listen to the ‘solo’ side not so much, if you listen to the ‘bass’ side not so much , if you put them together maybe! But they sound so different from each other.

    Levi I think you showed us all the best ...Charlie Hunter on 7. String hybrid sounds smooth and totally independent bass rhythm lead and percussive effect...seamlessly

    Charlie Hunter is the only guy that can play a guitar with more than 6 strings that doesn't sound like a complete clown.
    All the other guys play the same stuff as they would on a 6 string.
    I actually would not consider Charlie a guitarist. What he is doing is something else.
    Guitarist or not, he is a great musician.

      @@LeviClay I have to agree with that. He has everything going for him. He is probably one of 10-ish "guitarists" in the world that can really dig deep, both harmonically and rhythmically. In the company of Holdsworth, Scott Henderson, Pat Metheny, John Scofield and such.

    I don't have a seven string so I can't play this. Mail that one to me and I'll do it. Did I mention I'll also need a few hundred years to figure out how to play like Charlie? The first time I saw him with Disposable Heroes Of Hiphoprisy and my mind was blown. He's amazing.
    I like it how at 4:07 he seems to be saying: "btw. I love Bill Frissell".
