@bennyelsensohn9299 4 года назад

@@towelie4625 the last few words are BS. The rest was kinda right. If you set up a normal guitar to b standard tuning with thick strings, it still doesn't sound the same or feel the same as a baritone. That's the reason why they built it.

@solkvist8668 4 года назад

ty max typically most average guitar necks cannot handle the tension necessary to keep them in tune, which is why baritone guitars exist in the first place. You are likely to damage a normal guitar if you put baritone strings on it

@ichbrauchmehrkaffee5785 4 года назад

@fjf sjdnx uummm no. The scale length on a bass is much bigger, usually around 860mm, whereas a baritone guitar's scale length ranges from 670mm up to something around 760mm like the Danelectro in this video.

@jordannickerson2408 4 года назад

Reason number 6, if you’re a rhythm player you almost never need a high E string anyway, much more options to really fill in that section between a lead guitar and bass when you have that extra low string. Never need to detune your guitar ever again. Cheers!

@dewdop 3 года назад

@jordannickerson2408 4 года назад

ognilouD driB might work for some players but there’s several drawbacks to artificially changing your tuning, the biggest being it affects tone quite a bit. Didn’t produce a good sound for what I do, but it might work for others, it’s definitely a cheaper option so it’s a good thing to try before going full baritone.

@cosmicbilly 4 года назад

Would i be able to do that with my mexi strat?

@jordannickerson2408 4 года назад

Cosmic Billy yes! Just make sure it’s a strat neck so it fits the pocket correctly, warmoths are licensed fender parts so they fit perfectly into anything fender or squire makes

@dannyk8768 4 года назад

Or you if you've got a fender or PRS scale-length type guitar you could check out the new Mammoth Slinky's by Ernie Ball. I've set up my SE soapbar II in B standard, sounds fantastic (upgraded my p90s to a set of bare knuckle warpigs also). All it takes is a little research into setting up guitars: you'd need to adjust the truss rod and set the neck relief, widen the slots in the nut to match the new strings by either using wound strings to file the slots and/or by carefully using low-grit sandpaper, making sure the string height at the nut is correct too, then set the action (bridge height), then move the bridge saddles back and set the intonation. Also, use a low HB graphite pencil to lubricate the nut slots so you get better tuning stability. It's a reversible mod as well, except for the nut filing but new nuts are inexpensive to buy and if it doesn't come pre-filed to a good enough setting, it don't cost that much if you'd prefer to take it to a luthier and have them do a proper job on it :)

@theoversouls 5 лет назад

Here's another reason: A song completely depends on an open chord part, like an open D riff that can't be moved down because of the chord voicing- slap a capo on the 3rd or 4th fret of a baritone and now it's in C or C# where the singer can now hit the notes. Think of it as a 'reverse capo' that can move down in pitch instead of up.

I've always loved electric guitar, but for me, it's just one of those things you like experiencing but not doing. That's why I play bass guitar instead. I love bass's percussive possibilities and rich, heavy tones, both things I can't get from guitar. However, I still really like how guitars take effects and how well-suited they are for your more conventional melodies. That's why I think I'll love electric baritone guitars! They're like the perfect cross between bass and guitar: They sound great with effects but still have a good amount of weight to their notes!

Yes you do need a baritone guitar. But I have great news for you: You already own one. Get a set of baritone strings (I'm using GHS Boomers, 14, 18, 28w, 38, 50, 70), widen the nut slots on that cheapo you have lying around and never play anymore. You may have to drill out the string hole in the tuner for the thickest string. BAM! Bari-tone for weeks. I did it to a Slick 60 with P90s, sounds absolutely amazing, and the string tension feels normal!

@domagojoinky8262 5 лет назад

B standard tuning makes playing some songs easier. Keys with flats, like Eb major or minor do not have the same impact if played on 4 string bass or standard guitar if it is not downtuned. Baritone guitar sounds really nice and juicy. I also like the bass with low B, and I would even like to experiment with tunings lower than A standard.

Well, almost perfect. I haven't learned all the chords I need to know in this tuning yet haha. More practice!

A lot of times with standard tuning, it seems to favor tenors and higher baritones a lot more. I don’t know.

I've been jonesing for a mandocello for years, but nothing worth the effort is available for under $2k. By pure luck, I met a guy who had a bouzouki and what would become my octave mandolin. He wanted his bouzouki but never found himself picking up the octave mandolin. He named a reasonable price, I took it, and it's become the most marvelous strum-stick I've ever owned. It's in the same sonic range as a guitar, but the scales are upside-down. mentally the fingering isn't that hard to grasp, sonically it opens up strange avenues.

Just built myself a Baritone guitar and I love it. I have a Bass VI as well, and I thought - when I bought the VI that this is what I was getting. Obviously not. So over the years, I actually put a set of Baritone strings on the VI and dealt with it, but was never 100%. I traded a MEX Strat (SSS) for a couple Squier guitars, and got a HSS Strat and a Tele, and the guy had a Baritone neck. So I made the Tele into a Baritone and hot rodded the HSS. I couldn't be happier with the Baritone. I've already used it on quite a few demos. It's the sound I've been wanting and searching for for YEARS.

@XChristianNoirX 5 лет назад

Most 7 strings have a 25.5 - 27" scale length. This thing is almost 30, so you can use closer to the same gauge strings as you would normally, basically not making the low B a super fat and too bassy string where you need to high pass the guitar so you don't blow up your amp lol. The messhuga m8m guitar has a similar scale length... But it's 8 strings.

@NateTriplett 5 лет назад

Christian Noir Which is why I’d love to see a full video on it, especially regarding various tunings. My 7-string is a 25.75 length with super heavy strings in drop A tuning. And it’s easy to imagine retuning the b string to have the low 6 act as a baritone. Drop A vs B drop D vs drop A drop D etc etc...

@@NateTriplett I usually just tune 25.5 scale guitars with 6 string to baritone. I don't really need a 7 string (although I have 2). A lot of the sound of this baritone is probably the lipstick pickups. It's a totally different ballgame I think.

@PatrickNorris10 3 года назад

I must have had my ears shut for a long time but I thought the baritone was for heavy music only. I found out Phoebe Bridgers plays one and now I’m sitting here so confused because it sounds so good in the ambient and clean guitar world. I had no idea.

I am a bass player and I have heard a tune that isn’t played with chords and at first I thought the player was playing bass! It just sounded wonderful.

Video just started, and oh yeah to the yeah to yeah, it totally reinforces my own personal reasons why my next major guitar purchase will be a baritone. To put it into words, the main reason I must have a baritone guitar is because I could already hear myself making those sounds in my mind before I knew what it was. Okay wait, there's a list of reasons that pop right up, stemming from what my mind has already heard. 1. I heard me playing it before I knew what it was. 2. I played one in a guitar store and I was freaking awesome on it. 3. I heard one in the mix on some 70s rock band's album and it really hits me whenever I hear a baritone. 4. I got put on a baritone (the brass instrument) instead of a trumpet in 5th grade in the band in one of the schools I ended up at because of Daddy's life as a travelling welder. I'm a baritone person. I have a good baritone vocal range. Yep, I NEED a baritone guitar.

I've got the same guitar in silver sparkle. Love it. It was one of those things I didn't know how much I needed until I got one. I use it on recordings all the time. More often than not. The tone with those lipsticks is very cool. Very twangy.

I built a baritone using a Tele body and a Warmoth baritone neck. It has a 28-5/8" scale, and I tune it down to A to A. The neck pickup has this huge wall of sound but the bridge pickup has that spectacular Tele spank. I love it. The addiction doesn't end, however. I really want to get a Squier Jaguar Bass VI and use it as a bari instead of a bass. Because it has a 30" scale, I can tune it down to an E toE, same as a 6-string bass.

I think when you play with a horn-section, and some other instruments (example: there exists an Eastern Cuban instrument that’s like a huge African thumb-piano: you thump out low tones on stick-y out-y pieces of metal that are attached to a cajón the size of a toy-box or small bath-tub), y’know …instruments that don’t have tuning-pegs, it’s nice to have your familiar shapes available to you in a variety of keys

For anyone wondering about the presets for the Helix - I have the MBritt, Fremen and DeLaune packs and Rhett's have been the ones I've enjoyed the most. They're fantastic - Especially the Deluxe Reverb & Divided by 13 ones. It's been years since I've owned or been in a position to play any of these tube amps, so I'm not saying they're perfect recreations, but man do they sound good.

@culturetrash3191 5 лет назад

Do you use any other aftermarket IRs alongside the presets? I just purchased the HX Stomp presets but I wasn't sure if you still needed to get some aftermarket IRs.

I absolutely love my PRS baritone guitar... While no standard tuning has been established for baritone guitars, the perfect fifth lower (A1-D2-G2-C3-E3-A3), makes your standard major cord positions sound great as they are always a perfect fifth away from the original. This makes transition even easier .

@freedomflight. 3 года назад

was playing a gig at some poetry club place years back my friend who was a bassist miraculously had his pickups fucked on his bass and our friend a drummer had brung his baritone which he adored so he used it as the bass for the gig and even improvised a solo mid way needless to say he bought one and continues to make some pretty intricate basslines on the baritone and even riffs on it too that translate to my guitar. Baritone guitar truly is a very versatile instrument and depending on what player u r u can write basslines or riffs his such a beautiful middle ground def getting one too.

@iSuperdupaloveweed 5 лет назад

Thanks, I already knew that. Mind giving my broke ass the money for one?

@judahatkins6069 4 года назад

Most of the reasons you listed can also be satisfied by just using a different tuning. I mean you can only write so many songs in E standard. Even if you're not playing metal, tuning low or just using something besides e standard will really "Get you in a different creative space" as you said. A baritone guitar can help with that though, depending on how low you intend to tune. Alternate tunings straight up get you in a different key, which will instantly get you coming up with things you wouldn't if you're in the same tuning all the time.
