Hunter plays his 8 string strapped on like everyone else. He does not
incorporate any of that Stanley Jordan "tinny" tapping technique. It's a
combo of fingerpicking , hammer-ons and pull-offs. It's unbelievable to
watch. He actually looks like he's in pain when he's playing. Remarkable
technique and he's not a wanker!----go figure.
