What he said about the first 80% taking a year and the last 20% taking a lifetime is so true ! This man is a both a genius and a legend, would love to see him live one day

[@kmccord1984]

"Contrapuntally" he says when my mind is already blown by his fretboard and fingerwork🎉😮🎉

[@MrRUSSWILL]

Wooow 10 yrs later and he references Tuck of Tuck and Patty 🤯 BRAVO

[@KM-px8cs]

Awesome channel, awesome instructor, and awesome guitar. 7-strings have so much more potential than heavy metal.

[@Armov]

absolute beast player. in the video description, probably more accurate to call him a session player. he can play jazz but he can also play just about everything else

[@TomSimpson4]

Great term groove-aliciousness!

I dont mean to be off topic but does anybody know a method to log back into an Instagram account? I somehow lost my login password. I appreciate any help you can give me.

@Ramon Corey instablaster ;)

[@rhykko77]

fanned frets , once you get used to them, are very ergonomically comfortable....ie your wrist is in a much more natural position when you play . Most often found on bass guitars.

[@LeeWrathe]

just stunning, what a player :)

[@thepensivepoet]

Someone release that damn snare!

[@shelveDEMO]

unreal 🔥🔥

[@theguitarczar]

Hunter is UN-FREAKING-BELIEVABLE!!!!

[@BretJohnsonboyofthedog]

This guy's a beast!!

[@SlightReturn666]

It's stunning technique and crazy good music. Very accessible to ears that are used to listening to blues and not crazy abstract outside jazz.

[@technoalah]

Amazing

[@cedricjacobs4917]

my favourite guitar alien

[@johnjoy9503]

Mind-boggling

[@JakTheStripper]

Someone left a snare drum on so I keep hearing a buzz in the background of this video... once I noticed it I couldn't stop noticing it.

[@zvuksvetla]

So you have to tell us that, and now we also get annoyed... 😁 Just kidding, man.

[@SlikkTim]

That bop solo around 3:10... man its all so seemless. That dude is doin' the same thing Jimmy Smith for organ, on guitar. Crazy.

[@funknotik]

3:30 JAW DROPPED!! :O

[@soyguitarra1]

es muy fácil para él!is very easy for him!

[@pedro911212]

he does that so casually... wow

[@Simto]

Holy shit he's just crazy talented!

[@hadara69]

Seen this dude live twice back in the 90s, once with the trio, the other with the quartet. It was the first multi-scale fretboard I ever saw. Now they're everywhere, at least in Metal (Djent). Still, no Metal dudes can work it like him. "Mind-boggling" is right!

[@azzans]

Tosinnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnabasi

[@hadara69]

azzans I don't know what that means. Is that a musician I should google or something?

[@azzans]

Golgotha_Mythos69 Yeah he's a very interesting 8 string player. He's a metal guitarist, with heavy influences from Allan Holdsworth.

[@hadara69]

azzans Oh cool! I'll check it out. Thanks.

[@hadara69]

azzans Oh, the dude from "Animals as Leaders"? Of course! LOVE that band.

[@passion_flora]

GROOVALICIOUS!

[@roythunderplump]

After hearing *The Root D'Angleo* had to find the playa Charlie Hunter on that track.

[@ToddPritch]

Tuck Andress is scary good. Check out his version of "Man In The Mirror"

hes been playing for a while

[@thenathanrox]

What in the funk

[@tjazzington]

Now I just need to know if he plays with nails or not... I have a seven string Schecter, in which I have incorporated many of the right hand techniques he mentioned. I use my nails for the index and middle and the fleshy part of the thumb to play bass notes.

[@markwvh]

Just saw him play tonight, and from up close. No fingernails involved!

[@EpifanoEntertainment]

oh my god what a brain

[@Revelator2025]

Actually Charlie has two.

[@lukex1337]

Dat thumb

[@Erebus5620]

someone turn that snare off!!!!

[@phriend2spin]

What is this sorcery?

[@LunarLionheart]

@ledzeppelin4485 That's a 7.

[@ledzeppelin4485]

[@sheao1]

the neck is so weird

[@breakfastwithtrees9524]

Jesus Loves You

[@Jack458111]

[@Revelator2025]

What’s so sad is that this guy chuck is so rhythmically challenged. One day he’s gonna get good I feel. Lol
