Mike Mainieri presents Come Together - A Guitar Tribute To The Beatles


(NYC RECORDS - 1993)




Charlie Hunter - 7-string guitar

Produced by Charlie Hunter


 



Hunter performs an instrumental version of "Drive My Car" on this Beatles tribute album. This is one of the few recordings available where Charlie performs solo. From the liner notes: "My mother was a luthier, and she actually made me take guitar lessons to keep me from getting into trouble after school. Since I already knew The Beatles songs from her albums, she said to me, 'If you like these songs, you can learn how to play them on guitar.' After learning basic chords, The Beatles songbook soon followed. As far as "Drive My Car" is concerned, I thought I could harmonize on the intro with a minor 2nd, producing an obnoxious effect. All The Beatles songs are good, it all depends on which one you feel like playing." -Charlie Hunter-
