His primary influences were jazz great Joe Pass and the fluid Tuck Andress (of the guitar/vocal duo Tuck & Patti)\, both six-string guitarists who were adept at blending bass notes into their standard guitar melodies to make themselves sound like two musicians at once. But Hunter wanted to take it one step further\, and set out to find an instrument on which he could simultaneously function as both a guitarist and a bassist. \nFor his self-titled 1993 debut CD\, Hunter played a seven-string guitar for the duality effect\, locking down the bottom with drummer Jay Lane and mixing melodically with saxophonist David Ellis. But on his trio’s 1995 sophomore release\, Bing\, Bing\, Bing!\, Hunter unveiled his custom-made Novax eight-string\, the guitar that finally allowed him to realize his capacity. Designed by Ralph Novak\, the instrument featured special frets and separate signals for its guitar and bass portions. Picking bass notes with his right thumb while fretting them with his left index finger (while at the same time fingerpicking guitar chords and single notes with his right hand’s remaining four digits as he frets with his left hand’s other three fingers)\, Hunter achieves the real sound of two-for-one. \n\n	\n\n\n\n			\n	\n	\n		\n	\n				\n					\n	\n	\n\n\n	\n		\n			\n							RESERVE TABLE\n					\n\n	\n\n\n\n	\n\n\n	\n		\n	\n\nLEARN MORE

His primary influences were jazz great Joe Pass and the fluid Tuck Andress (of the guitar/vocal duo Tuck & Patti)\, both six-string guitarists who were adept at blending bass notes into their standard guitar melodies to make themselves sound like two musicians at once. But Hunter wanted to take it one step further\, and set out to find an instrument on which he could simultaneously function as both a guitarist and a bassist. \nFor his self-titled 1993 debut CD\, Hunter played a seven-string guitar for the duality effect\, locking down the bottom with drummer Jay Lane and mixing melodically with saxophonist David Ellis. But on his trio’s 1995 sophomore release\, Bing\, Bing\, Bing!\, Hunter unveiled his custom-made Novax eight-string\, the guitar that finally allowed him to realize his capacity. Designed by Ralph Novak\, the instrument featured special frets and separate signals for its guitar and bass portions. Picking bass notes with his right thumb while fretting them with his left index finger (while at the same time fingerpicking guitar chords and single notes with his right hand’s remaining four digits as he frets with his left hand’s other three fingers)\, Hunter achieves the real sound of two-for-one. \n\n	\n\n\n\n			\n	\n	\n		\n	\n				\n					\n	\n	\n\n\n	\n		\n			\n							RESERVE TABLE\n					\n\n	\n\n\n\n	\n\n\n	\n		\n	\n\nLEARN MORE

His primary influences were jazz great Joe Pass and the fluid Tuck Andress (of the guitar/vocal duo Tuck & Patti)\, both six-string guitarists who were adept at blending bass notes into their standard guitar melodies to make themselves sound like two musicians at once. But Hunter wanted to take it one step further\, and set out to find an instrument on which he could simultaneously function as both a guitarist and a bassist. \nFor his self-titled 1993 debut CD\, Hunter played a seven-string guitar for the duality effect\, locking down the bottom with drummer Jay Lane and mixing melodically with saxophonist David Ellis. But on his trio’s 1995 sophomore release\, Bing\, Bing\, Bing!\, Hunter unveiled his custom-made Novax eight-string\, the guitar that finally allowed him to realize his capacity. Designed by Ralph Novak\, the instrument featured special frets and separate signals for its guitar and bass portions. Picking bass notes with his right thumb while fretting them with his left index finger (while at the same time fingerpicking guitar chords and single notes with his right hand’s remaining four digits as he frets with his left hand’s other three fingers)\, Hunter achieves the real sound of two-for-one. \n\n	\n\n\n\n			\n	\n	\n		\n	\n				\n					\n	\n	\n\n\n	\n		\n			\n							RESERVE TABLE\n					\n\n	\n\n\n\n	\n\n\n	\n		\n	\n\nLEARN MORE
