Baritonin' with the Baritone 

Perfect! I've never changed those good luck strings. See you soon, amigo.

Thanks Terry! Watch out for those javelinas, they’ll gitcha!

Hey Joe, I’m down with that!

Thanks JJJ, I really appreciate that. You know, I figure that time is about the most precious thing we have...and when somebody gives up some of their time to listen to my music or watch my stuff, then that is a huge deal. To me, it feels a little strange to call folks fans or followers...when they give up their time for me, I'm thinking I'll call them a friend.

Thanks Robert!

Gettin lowdown on this one! 🤠

They will get down and growl!

Thanks Springfield! Hopefully i can say that on Springfield stage one of these days. 🤠

@@THEjohnnyfalstaff yes sir! I will be front row center! And we'll get some bbq while you're here!

Hey Nelvis! Link rocks!

Thanks Luke...still thinking about that chicken and dumplings...

I’m down with the dirt! Thanks Patrick!!!

Thanks Derek!

Dang near a “yee haw” moment! 🤠

Hey Gary, thanks man! It’s a twang machine for sure!

Hey Lynne! Thanks a ton (or a ton of kilos) ! What in the world are you doing in NZ?

@@THEjohnnyfalstaff Hi Johnny, Paul here, my wife is Lynne. We live here. I'm a guitarist/double bass slapper and love honky tonk. Been to the states lots...several times to Austin broken spoke, ginny's vegas rockabilly etc.

Oh dang, sorry man! Well, hopefully yall can come back soon!

Thanks Todd! It’s a fun guitar to play!

What’s the difference between a baritone guitar and a fender bass vi and that’s not a trick question I honestly don’t know and I always wondered

@@robertcampbell6253 I'm not familiar at all with the bass vi, but i was curious...it seems like the bass vi uses bass strings and is tuned as a bass. A baritone guitar uses a different type of string and is normally tuned differently than a standard tuning. Anybody else care to shed some light?

@@THEjohnnyfalstaff yes it is tuned like a bass ( the bass vi that is )but it’s tuned halfway between a guitar and a regular bass and that’s what Glen Campbell used on “Wichita Lineman” but I love Red Simpson and all those truck driving songs and I wish I could play that stuff half as good as you do and I really like your good attitude and humor but now you got me wanting a baritone again I had a Dan Electro that sorta looked like a strat a few years ago but I remember it had three buttons on it and one button played a g tone so you could tune and one button had this knarly ass sounding fuzz tone and I can’t remember what the third button did but thanks for getting back to me

@@robertcampbell6253 Witchta Lineman...classic! I wonder if he did the same on Galveston? Sure would like to have been a fly on the wall for those sessions...

Sure was! And Wichita Lineman as well. Thanks Lenny, have a good one!

Thanks Felix!

Thanks! That’s cool, I haven’t heard it...but I’ve been out of the loop for a while. Who is kickin the baritone these days?

@@THEjohnnyfalstaff off the top of my head I think there's been some baritone on Sidney Abernathy's album (which... Holy shit!), I think Jesse Daniel has some on Rollin On album, deke Dickerson released that wonderful Wild Wild Thing song featuring Bass VI lead, and I know I've heard it all over the place but can't remember who. As I hear tracks with baritone, bass Vi, or low guitar licks, I usually add those artists to my baritone playlist that I sent you.

Also Rhyolite Sound (also a HOLY SHIT! experience) uses it completely differently, more like a doubling-the-bass way, I found a couple of live recordings of Logan ledger playing with a baritone player. I'm pretty sure that I've heard it recently on individual tracks here and there, like recent releases by different people.

@@_s827 back in the day, a ton of records were recorded with “tic tac” bass...an electric bass or baritone guitar kind of doubling the upright bass...sometimes so subtle that it’s hard to detect.

Thanks Patrick! I plugged straight into GarageBand on this one and used a couple of plugins ..compression and tremolo. “All things considered “ made me laugh a little 🤠 still trying to put on some weight...strange that i never had that problem before, haha! Thanks for considering patreon, it really helps out a ton! Any particular video you’d like to see?

@@THEjohnnyfalstaff I'll tell you man, the prettiest sound I ever heard was 'Sway' with you and Pecos Hank. That was the thing that turned me on to you and your Houston friends. Southern Backtones, Jo Bird, you and all the rest of the posse really struck a chord with me. I truly enjoy anything that you put out. I'm still trying to get the damn Patreon working! Anyway, get healthy and keep on trucking.

@@patrickspringer6534 The Sway video? That was fun to do, the genius of Hank. We’ve been talking loosely about doing something in the future, hopefully it will happen. Where ‘bouts are you staying these days?

@@THEjohnnyfalstaff Birmingham, Alabama 35235

@@patrickspringer6534 oh yeah! I’ve burnt too many brain cells.

By request! 🤠

🎸🤠🤟🏻

I'm definitely getting farm shenanigan vibes from this.

Yeah, i switched it up for demonstration purposes...i would be curious to hear what the other neck sounded like.

@@THEjohnnyfalstaff How different are the same notes on the two necks given that they have a different pickup configuration?

Different as in tone of course

@@_s827 well, i think its a combination of things...the lower register, longer neck, bigger gauge strings (all of which are wound)

@@THEjohnnyfalstaff how's the sustain on your guitar neck low E versus the same note open on a baritone?
