That's Charlie Hunter on guitar. He plays a special instrument (and has the skills to do so) that has bass strings above the guitar strings, and a compensating fretboard). Do check his awesome videos on YT. You're gonna be amazed.

It's kind of weird; I'm a lifelong drummer, also love piano, etc., but I think Kurt a vocalist has become my favorite artist.

[@somenoonsomenoon8874]

I just dont get it.....!

[@williamknell864]

Insane! Was Kurt soloing through some kind of harmonizer, or his he capable of "throat singing?' He certainly has the range to. But it's the producing two note at a time that is wild. That was amazing. I did not expect that at all. The dynamics and slippery command of time of this trio is just thrilling stuff. WOW!!!

[@robd2650]

Does anyone know the title of the cut. I can't seem to find it under Come On Back etc.

[@Jazzkovsky]

Kurt using some effects. Very nice.

[@acohen1980]

Go Kurt & BAND.....

[@obamaramadan]

how on earth does he do the bassline and the melody at the same time?

[@Newdispweb]

Who knew Kurt could doo-wop and turn it into vocalese! Go 'head!

[@szabels]

Anyone knows whose is this song? And what is the title?

[@awakentech]

This tune is "I Was Wrong" by Harvey Fuqua & The Moonglows, first recorded in 1954. See: secondhandsongs.com/work/156587
