Music on one side, the video editing here is so perfect, calming and flows so naturally. The way you present the guitar shows how much you respect the instrument and somebody's work behind every single detail. Love that.
I think this could be your signature thing. It goes well with your voice. And you just sounded cool.
Oooooohhh! I think it could work for some specific songs, but it would sit too low in my range for a lot of my originals. The E Standard tuning actually fits my songwriting perfectly too.
@@MarySpender Does standard tuning fit your songwriting, or did your songwriting evolve around standard tuning?
@@MarySpender I though the same as Steven too.
And even if this doesn't suit every song of yours - surely this is a tool you can't do without? Right? (Run for the door?)
2 guitar arrangements of songs could work well. One standard, one baritone.
Just buy it! Then you'll make new songs with it that fit your voice, that's what you do all the time anyway.
I think that big smile right from the beginning gives it away... you're loving that baritone! It will surely broaden your creativity! Go Mary! 🎸😎🤘❤
WOW. This guitar loves your voice.
Beautiful soothing voice.
Thank you! Always trying to make the calmest content possible :)
On a scale from Glenn Fricker to Mary Spender 😁😁
Smooth soulful sound that has a calming quality to it.
Sounds good. I played a Taylor 8 string baritone, octaves on the A and D (middle two) strings. That thing was amazing.
I have a Guild 8 String Baritone and it’s has such a rich tone. I had to change the style of how I play a little bit.
@@garrett3300 Yeah, the two center courses create a dramatic change in tone. If you make a run across them, they really stand out. Even if you don't mean them too.
Now I wonder what a 12-stringed baritone (with all courses tuned in octaves) would sound like...
The baritone pairs so well when you go low.
Thank you (said in a jokingly low voice)
I have two 8 string baritone Taylors. They're both amazing. I have four electric baritones. I put a couple octave strings on one of them (the Fender) and it sounds amazing. Welcome to the wonderful world of baritone guitars. Rhett Shull says every guitarist needs at least one.
What a beautiful instrument. The "full" sound sound range coming from a single instrument. I honestly need to get a better set of headphones to listen - my little phone set doesn't do justice to the lower range. Thank you.
Sounds sweet. Love the bass notes.
Thank you!
Point is, Mary has such a special way to play the bass notes, and the baritone enhances that. ❤️
Girl this is your guitar… blends brilliantly with your voice.
I love baritone guitars in general and have used my bari strat almost exclusively since I built it. But baritone acoustics just hit different. Open chords ring out like pianos on them.
woah this is such a beautiful sound, cannot get over it
Love the sound of the guitar! Beautifully performed as per usual Mary 👏
That was the best I've ever heard you play, Mary. Beautiful.
You had me at the first two measures! The clarity of steel string melds beautifully with the richness of the baritone guitar - much more so than the heaviness of baritone solid body electrics.
I had a baritone guitar for a few weeks before the neck started splitting. Turns out it needed waaaaaaay higher humidity than I was able to provide with my gear. I gave it to a friend who was able to restore it to playable condition. I love the sound of baritone guitars. Great playing, as always! Thanks for sharing
Mary you’re amazing!! This sounds so good
Mary, I loved it. Please do more with the baritone.
This baritone taylor guitar is such a perfect match for you Miss Spender...
That guitar is amazing. I agree with Steve it suits your voice.
Lovely playing. I am reinventing my music with the addition of my Lowden 22 F/F Baritone fan fret. It's like having another voice with me. I think the important thing is to listen to the guitar as you play and adjust to where it takes you. Magical.
God bless ya, I just bought a baritone, and its so mumbly, I just put it away. Now I will give it another try
I'll call this video an unofficial present because it lands on my birthday!! I am a BIG advocate for everybody to own a baritone guitar of some sorts. In this case I have 2 baritone electrics I adore very much.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY NIC
@@MarySpender Thanks!!
Love Mary's game face, when she's totally lost in her playing. Joy; absolute joy...
Sounds amazing and so jazzy! I love it! I have recently started experimenting with alternate tunings, and listening to a lot of John martyn, nick drake and sting, so I really enjoyed this! I don’t have a baritone guitar, but I have 2 Taylor’s, one of which is a dreadnought, so I will try this tuning out for sure. This fits my style, thanks so much for sharing 🙏🙏🙏
Taylor needs to pay you a commission or promo fee for this one.
I just bought my first baritone guitar and loving it, but a nice lower cost brand. I love my Taylor 314 bought new 1998, but can’t afford Taylor for every guitar craving. Your improv demo convinced me that my next guitar will be a Taylor baritone 6 string. Just called my local store to get one in.
I’ll visit your tip jars also, but wanting to put out that I hope companies are paying attention and realize that TH-cam artists are making them real money and deserve their support.
And just thanks again for such an authentic taste of this guitar, your voice, and the muse flowing through those moments of capturing this gem for us.
Martin used to make a baritone that was discontinued a little under 10 years ago. This Taylor's sound is a bit softer than the Martin baritone's sound. I'm still kicking myself for not getting one. They're nearly impossible to find used.
Anyway, well done. It works well with your voice singing quietly like that -- it fills in the registers around your voice without interfering.
This guitar is complementing with your vocal range like they were made for each other. Just like Jack Johnson!!!
That baritone sounds stunning with your voice Mary. Taylor acoustics are my favourite acoustics to play as they are so comfortable and easy to play all up the neck ;)
I love seeing the creative process. Buy that Taylor, you deserve the right tool for the job. It sounds great!
I'm liking the range of the instrument, although I'd never heard of it.
Lovely video, such wonderful performance. This is my favourite tuning too. Amon Amarth's standard.
Never played a baritone. Beautiful guitar that is! Loverly playing too
Oh, that is a smooth sounding instrument! I may try that tuning on my travel guitar that I paid all of $45 for!
I've played for many years but joined a guitar group to get together and play stuff. Brought my Robb Flynn (Machine Head) Baritone Epiphone V one night and he loved it.
Wow, that intro was beautiful!!!
Beautiful music on a lovely guitar
Beautiful. That sums it up. The sound, playing, singing (Mary) and guitar, all beautiful. Thank you Mary.
That smile! It tells me you know that guitar suits your playing and singing like no other. So, I won't tell you that.
I wonder how it would sound to use a thumb pick on those bass notes? Propix should have the right pick for you.
I only say this because it could appeal to more listeners.
Some of our ears have to strain to hear note definition at lower end of audible spectrum.
Thanks for the demo. You made me want an acoustic baritone
Love my baritone!!!! (I am an electric player 😉 though...) I also have a short scale 6 string electric bass, the Ibanez SRC6 (tuned E-E) that I use like an even lower baritone.
I would love one of these someday. I love the rich, rustic sound they have!
I loved the concept of a baritone and owned an electric and acoustic and, while they sounded great and very cool, I found the frequency just sat in the wrong place for almost all my material, especially working with vocals. It did work better with mezzo soprano range. Eventually they both went on down the road.
The bass response is wonderful; I'd love to hear it along side a normal 6-string and maybe alongside an acoustic bass
Wow the baritone guitar lays so well with your voice. I think a viola player would relate to it and understand how effective it could be used. I started my guitar journey on a Taylor. They are so playable and have unique tonal quality much the way Martin’s have their unique tone. I hope you get to add a baritone to your stable.
Wow!!! That was great. The baritone might be your true calling
I am a fully converted baritone guitar player like I own three of them!! Thanks for sharing!!
There is an acoustic version of Hallelujah played on a Ramirez baritone that is the best ever... wish I could recall who did it....simply perfect
I picked up an Alvarez Baritone a few years ago. I Tune my A-A though. So a D shape is a G chord. I like to use it with a looper to build a track. Bass Percussion chords and melody lines.
Do you recommend the Alvarez?
@@samsaxe-taller6953 I am happy with it, but I have nothing to compare it with. I picked it up on sale as an experiment. I do like the way it plays and sounds, and play it frequently, if that is any measure. But I am just a hobbyist, so...
Taylor also makes a baritone with the A and D string double coursed. That is an amazing sounding guitar.
What a beautiful guitar! Of course played so well by you Mary. Thank you for sharing....
Gorgeous Mary. I've recently finished making a Baritone acoustic OM. and I'm seriously in love with it. Mine is 27.5 sclae length but just wow.
Thanks for posting this. I own a baritone Gibson Les Paul. I bought it because they only appear for sale once in a blue moon, but I haven't found a use for it yet. It's like I bought the solution before the problem.
Check out a Fender/Squier Bass VI or Schecter Hellcaster, it’s a full octave down, 30” scale, but the strings aren’t heavy like a bass, so it feels like a guitar more than a bass (you can even find flatwound strings for it, though they are pricy (only one brand sells them (LaBella), and it’s a niche market.)
I bought a Taylor in this shop. The owner threw in a great guitar strap and a t-shirt, cool guy
You should try a Bajo Quinto. It has courses like a 12 string, but it’s tuned down to A. It sounds massive!
Hi Mary!!! I've considered getter a Baritone Acoustic for a while. While 7 string has been an idea, i just cannot make that transition. Thanks for the demo!!!
6:30 AM, an unexpected day off, and I have a new Mary Spender video... Can this be a great day?
Sounds really good!
Great, video! Also, love my (more affordable) baritone. Just received your Songbook CD, today, which had got stuck at customs for a couple of weeks - but was so worth waiting for. Many thanks for all the inspiration.
Shout out to Ariel Posen as well. Saw him recently in Ottawa and he had some very good Mayer-esque vibes.
I like to think of it as guitar:baritone is like violin:cello. Taylor also makes an 8 string baritone which is also interesting and fun
Wait, wait, wait! Thanks for the video! This is exactly the tuning I have tuned down my guitar into recently and I am so used to it now I don't want anything else. Is this the type of guitar that has this tunning as standard? And if so, are the string as tight as on a standard acoustic when EBGDAE?
Beautiful guitar and you make it sound so good. Great job Mary.
Very nice! On another topic, a copy of your 'Song Book Volumes 1 and 2' now resides in Southeastern Arizona, USA. Thank you very much! It's fantabulous!
video quality is next level
Great video! Made me discover baritone acoustic guitar. I am currently looking to get a new guitar and I might consider a baritone acoustic guitar because of your video. Keep up with the great uploads! 😁
That’s so sweet
Love the guitar and it fits your voice well. Thanks!
I was talking to some friends literally last night about having a baritone acoustic guitar. Great timing and great playing as always Mary!
Thanks Kenny! Haha good timing then :)
@Kirk Wolfe I want more info too. I used to restore guitars from the trash bins people brought me
It sure was! Haha, and you're welcome. 😊
Beautiful as always Mary
Funny you are checking 1 of these out as I have been recently myself. Honestly Mary your voice would lend well to a baritone acoustic !! :)
Cool guitar. I love baritones.
I hope you are well.. keep on playing
5:07 Im DYING to know what song is the “i know we’ve got so far to go”, cant find it anywhere!!
Great fit with your playing style and voice 😁
You should try an electric baritone as well like the Danelectro vintage baritone. I just got one and it sounds so good I can't stop playing! After watching this I might have to buy an acoustic baritone as well!
I will definitely be trying one asap. I fell in love with this.
@@MarySpender looking forward to it!!
The song at 3:50 is fire! I've always wanted to play a baritone classical guitar.
Fun stuff! Everyone should have at least one Bari.
ABSOLUTELY DAMN AMAZING!!!
You seem to be enjoying the sound of that acoustic guitar Mary.
You really did get some beautiful sounds out of that guitar!
It might be interesting to play it very low and sing right over it? As in don't accompany your voice as such. Give its range entirely to your voice, and just fill in low notes beyond that that go nicely with the song at times? (So almost "singing as you cross the fields" in sound, but with some deeper "backchat" from an instrument at times.)
I can almost imagine it, but think the description isn't going to help convey this. Oh well, no harm in finding all sorts of beautiful noise in that guitar, hey? That'll do very nicely.
Beautiful sound, gorgeous guitar. It may require you to compose new guitar parts for some songs if to be played live but it sounds lovely with your voice (and vice versa).
Can you do more of acoustic finger style humming instrumental videos?
Looks like a great instrument for you. You thumb becomes a bass player!
With your creative mind and talent, buy it and make an album with it
Hey! Fanatic repaired two of my guitars
I didn't know such a thing existed, this is way cool!
I've been playing a Taylor 8 string baritone for a few years now. It's my main guitar these days. I simply love it.
And it's fun in circles, to see other players faces get twisted up as they try to figure out the tuning.
Cool guitar!
Word.
You are a rarity - making a video about a musical instrument that actually demonstrates the instrument more than how much they can talk about the instrument. Thank you.
Mary I love you
This clip made me curious about adding a baritone to the kit, but then I priced some. I do have a PRS electric bari I can borrow, but might try one of my Bass VI type instruments A-A as my voice is deeper than yours, but by request, I don't sing a lot.
These baritone guitars are cool. Thanks for sharing, Mary! Tomo Fujita recently got an Orangewood baritone that also sounds great. Maybe you can do a baritone guitar jam session one day!
Just got a Guild BT-258E 8 String baritone. Can't put it down!
Excellent.
Thanks Woody.
Lovely ❤
Beautiful sound. So deep and full. The tuning sounds different to me. Been playing for nearly 30 years, and don't know jack about Baritones. Maybe you could do a video on the difference with them?? Great sound! Great video!
Basically, it is a guitar but five semitones lower. That's what makes it a baritone guitar.
It may have a bigger soundbox and/or a longer neck than usual.
(Sometimes it's seven semitones. In this case it's five.)
