I dont know what it is with guitar players, but they tend to develop terrible time, says Charlie Hunter. No, hes not asserting that guitarists are always late to the gig, or that they cant read a watch. Hes simply observing that when most guitarists sit down to practice, they typically focus on riffs, melodies, chords, scales, and improvisation in other words, on everything except rhythm.

Theres nothing worse than playing guitar with bad time, continues Hunter. Its something weve all been guilty of and its always worth improving upon, because unless your time is absolutely on, youre a burden to the other people sharing the stage with you.

Granted, whether youre watching Hunter perform live or listening to one of his adventurous jazz-funk albums such as his new disc, Right Now Move[Ropeadope] there are plenty of spectacular, audience-dazzling aspects of the guitarists style that dont directly have to do with rhythm. For example, the way Hunter simultaneously handles bass lines, melodies, solos, and Jimmy Smith-style organ textures is truly mind-boggling. And hearing the fantastic stereo split of his eight-stringed Novax guitar which routs the low strings to a bass rig and the high strings to a Fender Twin is a spellbinding experience. But technical prowess and logistical wizardry aside, at the end of the night, its Hunters monster pocketthat utterly knocks you out.
