From a youth spent in Berkeley with Joe Satriani as an early instructor and Joe Pass as inspiration, Charlie Hunter launched a 16- year, 20-album career built on a signature style on custom-made seven and eight-string guitars and a reputation for genius technique. Charlie continues to stun audiences with his ability to simultaneously bust out tasty bass parts, melodic leads and swinging rhythms, securing his place as one of today's great guitarists.
As Guitar Player magazine puts it, Charlie is "a man who [has] built his badass reputation by conquering hairy bass lines and heady post-bop melodies simultaneously on custom eight-string instruments... Hunter is still a musical beast."
