For someone who wishes they could play finger style acoustic guitar but doesn’t want the headache of 6 strings and the baritone seems like the perfect sweet spot for me to learn a guitar like instrument

@HeadHonchoPigLoc Год назад

It is. Best entry to finger picking

@nathanjasper512 Год назад

I'm a fingerstyle guitarist. I love my guitar, but I will say there can be some advantages to having 4 strings. The top 4 strings are right in the sweet spot for melodies, so it kind of forces you to focus on that. It gives you more room on the fretboard and you can do a lot of open chords and moveable open chord shapes without having to worry about bottom strings getting in the way. In fact that's sort of true about chord shapes in general. I've been having loads of fun with my soprano uke.

@boogie404 Год назад

4 strings is the sweet spot. I like playing bass and ukulele more than guitars.

@rakehell404 Год назад

For beginners like me, being able to put a capo on the 5th fret allows you to play with your friends who are playing GCEA-tuned instruments without have to pull out the circle of fifths and tranpose their tuning to baritone tuning. It also means you can carry one instrument, instead of two, when you play with other people.

@MarcoCirilloUkulele Год назад

I have a collection too. I don't have a baritone but all of mine have a special place. My mother bought me a John grey banjolele about 40 years ago but she never heard me play it as it is being refurbished. Last year I was told my mother had a week to live so I was given end of life visitations because of covid. To cut a long story short I was allowed to play my ukulele for her in the hospital........ She went on to live another seven months !!!! Now all of my seven ukes have a special place in my heart and for a while after her death I couldn't play..... I,m actually tearful now thinking about it but I realise that she would want me to carry on playing so I will.

@arpitkatare9719 Год назад

from where you learn baritone ukulele can u put little guidance.

@janetschwartz1790 Год назад

@@arpitkatare9719 you can find a lot of tutorials on RU-vid for all types of ukulele,s but the best way to learn is at a ukulele club but unfortunately the pandemic has shut down a lot of clubs. The ukulele is a very easy instrument to play and you can down load loads of music on line. Practicing is the most important thing to do but a lot of chords are really easy. Try to find music that is familiar to you as it is easier to learn to play songs that you know and like. You can actually play all sorts of music on the ukulele even classical. Just browse on RU-vid for " ukulele players" and there are some very impressive players out there. Good luck and enjoy

I started learning ukulele when I was 62 years old. I have at least one of each size. My favorite is the baritone uke -- the tone is actually better than most of my other guitars, but the extra space on the fingerboard makes it much easier to play - more fun for me. For this tired old brain, it was great not having to worry about the bottom two strings! Hey, if I need those low notes, I will play my BASS ukulele.

@@anxylum Sorry to hear about the arthritis. Glad to hear that you are still playing music - it helps. I ordered a Caramel (Zebra stripe) baritone from Amazon for about $140, and am very happy with it. Looks like they are having shipping problems now, though. Luna and Kala make fine instruments, so it is probably a toss-up. Plinka Plinka.

@beckyreed8938 2 года назад

I agree with everything you said. I bought a baritone a year ago because I love the tone of the baritone. It sounds like a small guitar, but with all the benefits of the size of a Uke. It was particularly wonderful that you talked about using chord shape on baritone. I like that you said we just have to think about chord shapes.

@Bettys_Eldest 2 года назад

I bought a baritone about ten years ago for use as a travel guitar. I can accompany myself whilst learning vocal parts when away from home, also sit in on Irish pub sessions, or any opportunity to jam. So much easier than lugging a guitar around, and loads of fun. I've since bought a KAM (copy of the Kala U-bass) solid bodied electric bass uke. I sold my MIJ Fender Jazz bass, as it was not getting any use now I have the U-bass.

Depending on the sound and feel you're after and where you're located. I can't recomend uke logics enough. I bought one set to try and now they're the only strings on every uke I own. I like the feel of reds but I always feel let down by the Aquila wound strings.

I L♥️VE this Baritone! I wanted it so bad. Just too Rich for my purse. However, I am Madly In Love with it's cousin, the Kala KA-B. The sound is so rich and full. The action is smooth. It's a hybrid/crossbreed for sure. I have a soprano, 2 concerts, and a tenor that I've been playing for a while. My 'first born' concert will always be my favorite. We have a history together. I'm on Day 4 with my new KALA KA-B. It's taking a little adjustment to the chord difference. I'm starting with simple songs I know well. The transition is easier than expected. I had to depend upon reviews, videos and experience on making my purchase without touching and feeling! Thanks Marco for this review! I love the one I have now and truly recommend it. Things also change every day!....I may have the opportunity to add another to my happy family of Ukuleles!🦋

@anxylum Год назад

Have you compared the KA-B to a Luna Vintage Mahogany baritone by any chance? I'm trying to decide between the two. I have a Luna soprano and I love it, so I'm leaning towards the Luna baritone, but I've heard good things about the Kala.

So I came across this video 5 days ago, and btw, Marco, you are my favorite Ukulele player here on RU-vid and I am proud to be one of your Patreon members. I am in awe of your skill and love your classical style background and expression. After watching this video I immediately placed an order for the Kala KA-ZCT-B which was just delivered to me today and I am really enjoying it. I have only had Enya Uke's up to this point. A Tenor Nova Go Pro, a Tenor EUT-MAD EQ, and a concert EUC-MAD-XB Bernadette Signature. This is my first Kala and it is just magnificent. I love the deep tone and sound as it is the best of both worlds between a Uke and a guitar. I own a Taylor GS-mini in Mahogany which was my first stringed instrument, but it's 6 strings are just a little too complex for me as a beginner musician and that is why I switched over from guitar to Ukulele. Just like in the children's story of Goldilocks and the three bears, getting my hands on this Baritone Ukulele after playing on a concert and tenor size, makes playing a stringed instrument "just right" for me. Because of it's size and sound, I feel like I am playing a 3/4 sized acoustic guitar without any of the complications. Thank you so much for this video, Marco, it was just what I needed.

Marco! Thanks for your videos. Btw, Aquila makes baritone strings that can be tuned up to gcea tuning. I put these strings on my baritone and tune them a tone lower than standard gcea tuning to F, Bb, D, G, which gives me tuning of a renaissance lute or a guitar in standard tuning with a capo on the third fret. This sounds fantastic on my Kala baritone. Try this tuning, I think you’ll like it.

tunning a baritone uke as a tenor (with the correct strings) can be a great way to have more finger space and a richer sound. I have a basically a 5 sting baritone uke tuned as a tenor with both a high and low G in reentrant tuning and it sounds so rich and full. If you want that signature uke sound then get a tenor or soprano but if you want a full rich sound with lost of fret board space, a Baritone with gGcea might be some you would love.

@buzzstankos8532 2 года назад

@samcowen4909 2 года назад

I have had a Kala baritone ukulele for several years. It’s a basic entry-level model but still sounds and plays well. I have experimented with putting tenor strings on it and tuning it to low G as well. It is perhaps a little redundant because I have several tenors and a couple of concerts but it actually does give an even richer and fuller tone than a tenor. It’s currently in baritone again. I don’t necessarily recommend putting tenor strings on a baritone. Because mine is composite, it didn’t suffer any ill effects from the higher tension and it was inexpensive enough that I was willing to take the risk. That might not be the case for other baritones. Of course, the other advantage of putting a baritone in tenor tuning is being able to play along with other ukulele players without the capo or transposing the chords.

I’m not a proficient player but I do like both baritone and tenor ukes. By playing the chord shapes on my baritone that I’m familiar with from my tenor, I find I’m simply playing in a different key!

Truly great that you put some attention on the bariuke. Great, great instrument, with a strong character on itself. BTW, a lot of people try to learn guitar and quit after a short while, assuming it's to difficult and losing motivation. If they were introduced and started with the bariuke, after a while they would much more easily switch to the guitar (it's fundamentally "just" adding the upper 2 strings). Guitar teachers, guitar builders and shops are completely missing the point, by ignoring the promotion of the bariuke to the beginners. And continue to loose a huge amount of present and future sales and services...Cheers!

Jack Latou: You sound like my echo. lol I've been saying that for years, ever since the first time I picked up a bari uke. Now that I'm old (almost 77) and my fingers are a wee bit arthritic, I'm so grateful that I made the switch years back, because I can still play my 2 bari's.

I have a KALA baritone uke on order at my local music store. Having a hard time waiting for it. I love the sound of the baritone and I am eager to get started learning.

I love my 3 baris. I used to struggle playing guitar, started playing soprano uke but never liked the sound. I finally found a bari and when it became clear this was just a 4 string guitar and I would no longer have to transpose to play along with others, I was sold. I've upgraded my instrument every few years, going from a vintage Kent from the 60s, to a low end but very nice Caramel EA model, to the 8 string Kala, which is by far my favourite.

Great video. Love the baritone. It's become my go to uke, so much so I very rarely play my smaller ukes these days.

Hy , thanks for your soul... what s the name of the instrumental 2 please.?

@joemeyeres769 Год назад

Nice comparison! I just bought a tenor because I wanted a deeper sound and bigger fret board. Wanted a more guitar sound out of my uke. Looks like I may have to buy a baritone next! Love your videos!!!

Planning on purchasing one after watching Jonsí’s live performance of go do not the same model but a baritone none the less (great performance btw)

My collection includes soprano, concert, tenor (1 high “g” & one 5 string) baritone and U-bass. I like playing them all though the soprano and U- bass don’t see as much use as the other 4. I really enjoy the baritone and have some music specific to it. But I often practice Uke music on the baritone and just accept that I am working in a different key. Still, some music works better for me on the tenor or concert just because my mashed up mechanic’s fingers can’t reach the necessary frets on the baritone. But I will confess that finger picking the baritone is pure joy, and I love the lower, fuller tone. I’ve thought about getting another baritone and stringing it like a low “g” tenor. (I don’t have a straight low “g”.) But it might be hard to justify the cost…now if I could tell my wife it was from a sponsor…

I have both soprano and baritone ukulele but I much prefer the deep sound you get from the baritone. I did play guitar though so I think that's where that comes from. Took me a while to get the chord changes but it's definitely for me.

@joshuaspears8652 Год назад

I love how you let the uke sing as you play

@jamlemon 2 года назад

Interested in trying a baritone now. As for chord shapes I’d probably approach it as a guitarist and use guitar chord shapes due to the tuning being the same as the top 4 strings on a guitar.

I have a 8-string Baritone, itʻs a mini 12-string guitar. All my group members love it for it brings an added voice to our music. In addition to the Baritone, I also bring my 6-string tenor Kamaka ukulele and my 8-string tenor Oscar Schmidt. These bring different sounds to Hawaiian music.

I absolutely love my Kala baritone ukulele! Nice full, deep sound.

@MrBlazerdog 2 года назад

In addition.....I can't wait for the baritone lessons! I have been watching the tenor lessons and spending a lot of time trying to "convert" the chords to baritone tuning. It would be great to just play along with you Marco in the same tuning. This would make it much easier to learn to lesson you are teaching.

@NamasTeTe1 Год назад

I agree wholeheartedly. Willing to transpose from the tenor vids, but would prefer some bari videos. Can’t wait!

@ericg6453 2 года назад

Thank you for the presentation. I love the Baritone Ukulele, I love the Tenor...trying to learn the Baritone, but feel as though I am missing the qualities of the Tenor. Fewer resources online for the Baritone, but I suppose if I had to choose, it would be the Baritone...but I don't have to choose, so hurrah! I look forward to future Baritone lessons.
