Charlie Hunter and Carter McLean playing a day gig at a brewery? That's like walking into a local chess club meetup and finding Boris Spassky and Bobby Fischer going at it ...

[@HowIsThat69]

Harry Joiner hmmm aint both dead?

[@zebrush]

Exactement how i feel🎉

[@weareallbeingwatched4602]

Has been known to happen

[@Ryo7_7]

That's when musical magic is made. I've seen and been apart of some that were the best ever played live.

[@brauliocruz2884]

It's more common than we think. Picture walking into a regular degular Pub in Oxford called the Eagle and Child, and there they are. CS Lewis and JRR Tolkein talking about dead languages, Beowulf and the weather.

[@mikewifak]

I want a pair of brains like Charlie’s.

[@laurieperry2710]

Charlie Hunters smile is contagious happiest man just rocking the guitar....His playing is absolutely incredible!!

[@PKMartin]

38:34 my feeble human brain cannot fully comprehend the majesty of these two minutes

[@seitzsoundjohnseitz5396]

These guys make something that is incredibly difficult look easy -- it's not. Both master musicians. Thanks for posting.

[@jonashellborg8320]

I love two piece bands! Especially when it’s musicians of this caliber. So smooth, so dynamic, so superb!

[@GloryToTheDawgs]

If you close your eyes, it’s a three piece

[@vincenzoa2929]

Two incredible musicians playing off of each other in an intimate setting. These are the best shows to see.

[@TimSchmidt_art]

This is my favorite live music video on KZbin of all time.

[@jbfranz7376]

I absolutely love the faraway looks that Charlie gets on his face when he plays. What a laid back, awesome, talented genius. I've never seen or heard of Carter McLean before but I now have someone to research because this drumming melted my face off! 27:20 - about 28:48 made me stop everything I was doing. What a badass!

[@rossodom812]

Their clever creativity seems boundless. And they don't get boring.

[@johncarlo7395]

I've been playing guitar for 61 years now. and I have never thought of that idea, brilliant.

[@BrentLane1]

wow imagine just looking over in the corner to check out the amazing sounds, and it's friggin charlie hunter and carter mclean! what a great afternoon that must've been.

[@davidarbelaez4395]

One must see Charlie Hunter live prior to leaving this short journey called life.

[@Guitargate]

Awesome!

[@keisn2446]

Hahaha, exactly, thank you Michael for getting me here

[@BayouMaccabee]

Love your channel dude...and I'm not even a guitar player. I'm not that sophisticated...I just know how to beat the shit outta shit with some sticks and shit. :-)

[@stevea.7406]

Great to see/hear musicians just create and feed off each other....developes your ability to listen and thus, you will be a musician others will want to play with.

[@r3ality1]

The groove is ridiculous. All I want to do is sit down and rock back and forth in total contentment.

I watched it 3 times and still working sometimes I listen to it. You're great musicians, I hope I get the chance to watch it live one day. Also I'm a drummer, I really enjoyed your playing Carter. Awesome. Greetings from Turkey, please share more.

[@lieutenantcolumbo114]

Literally an exceptional drummer who can play in a trio for 2 hours without having rehearsed and who at the end of each song concludes perfectly at the same time as the other musicians who had rehearsed.

[@paulkingMotion]

I'm new to Charlie Hunter. These guys are amazing. Is Charlie playing the bass and guitar and the same time? Nuts

[@JoeEndozo]

Yup!

[@BassByTheBay]

Yup, and he's been doing it for a _long_ time. I'm just wondering why he's playing a brewery -- nothing against breweries; it just seems he'd be doing higher-profile gigs.

[@keisn2446]

Err, yeah. It’s no big deal. You just play guitar like you normally do, then underneath that you play bass using your second brain.

All of the genius and musicianship of this video has been praised in great detail. They're geniuses, I adore their style. I second all of the praise. That said, I want to know more about the drummer's Adidas sneaks. I want a pair.

How did I just happen find this video? One of my favorite drummers and one of my favorite hybrid-pluckers playing together live?! I'm in...sa-weet!

I can't describe the greatness of what he does with the hi-hats at 1:28:52.

[@erastusc4908]

Triplets?

[@thomasdecorail8825]

@@erastusc4908 Ahhh, nope :D you're talking about _triple strokes._ It's still 16th notes, he just doesn't play the 'e' of each beat. I was talking about the dynamics, choosing to play hard on the '&' of the beat gives it a great funky vibe. Charlie sees that too. Now triplets would be what Carter plays at 17:19 ! Those are triplets

I really dig Charlies sense of time, always tapping his foot right on the beat, I’ll be playing with some cats that tap their foot all over the place and you could imagine their time because of that.

[@Jazzcabbage710]

He actually played on the song! Definitely so cool to see his own take on it

[@Joe8string]

Great video. Guitar went out of tune a few times during Jealous guy but Charlie kept on playing regardless. He didn't seem to let it get to him. It's almost as if if tried to avoid the top string because he knew it was going out of tune. A sign of a true professional. And he didn't lose a beat! Great sense of rhythm. Cheers, Joe

[@davidarbelaez4395]

Joe8string perfect pitch you have I suppose.

[@j_wah3084]

Nice one Joe! The high E string was clearly flat during Jealous Guy. Charlie grimaced (more than normal) and on the third run of that phrase, he tuned the string up a bit.

[@homebakedgoods]

Can someone post the tracklist? Or just tell me which song is playing at 25:00

[@davidarbelaez4395]

Do you dis those who aren’t using 100% of their brain? 😉

[@captainbackfirejr]

David Arbelaez Lol no cause if I did then I expect everybody to be Charlie. He uses 100 and peaks at 120 at which point he needs a drum solo or dialogue

[@lieutenantcolumbo114]

@David Arbelaez We use maybe 70% maximum of our brains. we do not mobilize all our cerebral capacities at the same time. Depending on the activity carried out, different areas of the organ will be more or less solicited: vision, understanding of language, calculation, immediate and long-term memory, coordination of gestures, etc.

[@nostalgiajunkie]

@@lieutenantcolumbo114 the myth that we don’t use the full capacity of our brain is a myth based off of awful medieval science. Obviously all parts and pathways aren’t firing off at once, but to say we can’t “unlock some secret potential” of the brain is super lame to be spreading around
