One of the most impressive acts of musicianship I've ever seen was Charlie Hunter playing not his guitar, but a pandeiro at Greek Theater in Berkeley. It was unbelievable, as if he'd been in a prison cell for 50 years with nothing to pass the time but that instrument.

I remember when Ralph N. rescued Charlie with the pioneer hybrid fanned bass/ guitar, so much more ergonomic.Really put Ralph into the international market for extended range guitars with picking, as opposed to the Stick tapping sound. Keep on pluckin Charlie.I was a Novak client when he was in San Leandro. He stopped actually making awhile back.I found a MoB 5 string with a 36” low B.Ralph said it was one of his last.It kills.

@gcavy13 жыл бұрын
@@smurphy9460 I'm not sure that's what's being asked here. I think a better answer is that it does not have a top E and B string. So it just lacks the inherent thinness that comes with those strings. But I tend to agree it still seems thicker than just playing a tele on the bottom 4 strings.
@guitrr3 жыл бұрын
Basically, it’s a Baritone guitar, albeit with bass strings on 4,5,&6. On the Hybrid Guitars website, they state that you can simply tune it as a Baritone guitar and play it accordingly, though I’ve read in interviews with Charlie that he uses an unconventional tuning on his personal instruments. Watching Mr Kauffmann play in this video, it looks like that particular instrument is tuned like a conventional Baritone guitar.

Awesome. At first I thought it was a 7-string due to the sound, but then I noticed it was a 6. So I googled "hybrid" to see if that would give some explanation, but it only explained the acoustic sound. To sum it up - I don't know why is sounds so deep but it's awesome. I've seen him play an actual 7-string and he definitely has mastered rhythm + melody.
@abuventertainment28564 жыл бұрын
I'm pretty sure it's tuned one octave lower than E standard. So it's in the bass register on lowest 4 strings with access to higher range. It sounds deep because it's lower than 7 string standard tuning.
@abuventertainment28564 жыл бұрын
and the longer scale length on the bass strings help give you a thumpier sound mimicking the tambre of a bass guitar. So it's different than just tuning a normal guitar down to a low E

Also...for the guitar he's using above, as well as for Novax fanned fret guitars....how does there seem to be no real bridge on the guitar? Wont each individual lock that the string is going into potentially become loose because there isn't a bridge holding it in place? I hope this question makes sense.

@MrWillyWonka3 жыл бұрын
@@boogiemonsta2525 is that supposed to be better than standard bridges most guitars have? I just feel like most guitars do not have this "individual bridge saddles" setup. In fact it seems like at least 90% of electric guitars dont use this style of bridge. That's why it has me skeptical.
@boogiemonsta25253 жыл бұрын
@@MrWillyWonka if you look closely at the bridge on a stratocaster for example, they're actually separate for each string too, which allows you to make sure the intonation is as correct as possible. The big difference on this hybrid guitar is that the individual bridges are staggered to accommodate for the different scale lengths.

What is the purpose of the different angles on the frets?
@williamgendreaucoronel18343 жыл бұрын
The thicker strings require a longer scale length in order to keep the right tension, so by having fanned frets, you are able to have ideal tension in the lower strings, while maintaining the same one you're used to on the higher strings.
@DonaldMohrMusic Жыл бұрын
Yikes, two bad comments. A guitar is around 25" from Nut to bridge, a bass is much longer. You can use a super thin string tuned tight over a very long distance for a low note, but if you want shorter, you have to make the string fatter to keep it from getting floppy in that rubber band territory. So, by fanning it, you can add like 4-5" to the length of the low G string, which means you can use that much lighter of a string (and thus, less total lbs of tension) to make that note clearly.
