john smith it’s one of these coffee machines where you insert a little Aluminium bucket every time you want a coffee. It produces huge amounts of trash, but some people like that it’s easy to use without needing much cleaning and swear by the taste.
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!
Yes and no. Guitar is good for spreading wide intervals. Using just root and major/minor 3rd over an octave is really cool and melodic. If you into chug... You really need 3 bass strings anyway.
it's just a guitar with heavier gauge strings, lower than e standard tuning, and the intonation set up for it, you don't need a special type of guitar necessarily..
@@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.
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
@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.
This has probably been my favorite track you’ve done for the channel to date. It sounds like a really dope movie has just concluded on an intense cliffhanger
Buy baritone Full step down tune Buy fuzz Make random triangular shapes on neck Play random power chords on lowest three strings Always ring out all open strings (especially the high 2nd) Record aimlessly at varying intervals of intensity for 15 minutes CONGRATS! You've now recorded Track 1 of the next album as the newest member of Thou!! (pleasenoteallperformancesandrecordingsaretobeplayedinsandals)
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.
They are also great in a power duo with a drummer. I play one with a Y splitter into a bass amp and then stereo out of effects box into two guitar amps. Huge sound from one guitar.
Got the same guitar for about 2 years now, it's awesome! I don't use it that often, live it's best as a solo instrument or in combination with a seccond guitarist. It's a blessing in the studio, when you have the opportunity to layer guitar tracks.
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.
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
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 :)
Just bought this exact guitar, and when it arrived and I tuned it up... fell in love immediately. Instantly my new favorite guitar. I got it for more of a "spaghetti western" sound like Rhett demos here... but then when I turned on some chorus, I realized how amazing this would also be for shoegaze, dreampop, postrock, you name it!
I have a 7-string baritone (30" scale) from Agile guitars/Rondo Music. They’re a really affordable brand if you’re looking for baritone guitars ~$300 brand new. I think they discontinued the 30" scale, but they still have 25", 26", or 28" I don’t remember which.
I’ve always liked the idea of a baritone but haven’t bought one. I’ve finally realized (it’s embarrassing it has taken this long) that I can use a capo and have a standard or move it down in steps for tuning down.
I pulled the trigger a little while back when Gretsch rolled out the baritone electromatics. Love it! Was good to meet you at Smitty’s pipe show a few months back. Thanks for what you do brother!
i had a super similar experience a few weeks ago, checked out a danelectro baritone because i’d seen some of my favourite songwriters using them (phoebe bridgers & conor oberst mainly) and within about a minute of playing the thing i knew i just had to have it. i basically can’t stop writing songs on it and i love it. it’s also a great tool because my main band has three guitar players, so now when we’re writing songs, i can go to that and sit myself in a really cool sonic space
I confess, I’ve thought about buying s baritone, but it’s because I’m a bass player looking to broaden my horizons a bit. I love that chunky “Summer Time Blues”/Duane Eddy sound & I guess I spend time when I’m playing the bass thinking about songs that could benefit from the sound. Keep playing, I’ll keep watching. Cheers!
I’ve used my baritone instead of a bass when a down tuning is called for. I have found some Tremonti songs that sound great with the baritone in place of the bass.
Okay, this video has been in the internet for a while before I saw it and yes, it made me put a baritone neck on an otherwise not so often touched guitar. Thanks for the inspiration to go baritone!
I've been waiting about a month and a half for my warmoth jazzmaster body and baritone neck to finally show... Been watching these videos for weeks just to hold me over...
Thanks for the confirmation lol, I bought one last year (prs277 P90 semi hollow) and almost sold it a few weeks ago, as I’ve not been recording much this past 6 months.. I’m glad I didn’t respond to the buyer the other day ... anyway, appreciate your channel. Thanks again from Alaska.
@@lamech006 It hasn't been an issue because even though the ranges overlap more, the tones are different enough not to be an issue. Especially with an ace sound guy like we're blessed to have.
yep, me too. we need to start a me too movement in regards to guitar purchases. just found my self in same situation, and walked away with one. first riff i played was inspirational i had to do it.
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.
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.
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'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!
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.
What I'm currently doing with my baritone guitar is it has light strings tuned to open C. I'm not going to cut up a normal guitar's nut so I can use a size 60 string for that low C, and I don't currently feel a need to go that half step lower for B standard, so this is perfect for me. Well, almost perfect. I haven't learned all the chords I need to know in this tuning yet haha. More practice!
I'm SOLD!! I've been curious and fascinated with Danelectro guitars ever since Jimmy Page used it on a few famous songs. Now you've sold me. Keep it up Rhett. That tone is sick!
After years of buying guitars and later selling them only to repeat the process i finally have the right mix in my arsenal. Ive been so happy with it that hoing to music shops now almost got boring because i had assembled my dream rig..that is, until now! Thank you Rhett and wife thanks you too!! :)
Love my Danelectro baritone... use it all the time. The cheapest guitar I have but one of the best sounding and just a great flavour when you're putting down multiple parts.
Just wait until you realize you can play every chord using the ones you already know ;) Look up the CAGED system, it will begin your journey to unlock the fretboard
Another cool thing you can do with a baritone is double drop it. Tune the top 5 to drop D and drop the 6th string to A. There, you can double your drop D riffs with some extra gnar!
I love that music peace it reminds me of call of jaurez bound in blood I really like that music it would be a cool piece in a post nuclear western with muscle cars.
If I knew then what I know now, I would have pursued a career in music. Was always told I couldn't make a living as a guitarist. Rhett proved everyone wrong.
Hello, I can relate to your comments about procrastinating the baritone guitar purchase, I haven't bit the bullet yet but I will soon! Probably in the fall. Thanks for the good video, all the best.
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.
Yup. I recently bought some 8-String guitars which get into baritone territory, and a dedicated baritone is still on the wishlist. I was thinking Fender Sqiuer, but your Dan Electro sounds sweet. Nice one!

Tune the top 5 to drop D and drop the 6th string to A.
There, you can double your drop D riffs with some extra gnar!
the opening briefly reminds me of the last of us & rdr2
Still can't get over the downwards slide at 0:34. Came back to this video for a final push before ordering a Danelectro. Lovely work - cheers!

Ya got me sold Rhett on every reason. Time for me search and buy. Love all your stuff guy.
I love that music peace it reminds me of call of jaurez bound in blood I really like that music it would be a cool piece in a post nuclear western with muscle cars.
If I knew then what I know now, I would have pursued a career in music. Was always told I couldn't make a living as a guitarist. Rhett proved everyone wrong.
Hello, I can relate to your comments about procrastinating the baritone guitar purchase, I haven't bit the bullet yet but I will soon! Probably in the fall. Thanks for the good video, all the best.
I want a baritone guitar just so I can play Architects songs without having floppy strings.
I totally agree, everyone should have a baritone in their collection. Cheers Rhett!!
These guitars are made to Djent. Try it.
No

That is also the reason to own a 7 string guitar. With one quick retuning of the G string to F#, you can have a standard baritone tuned guitar.
Alex Turner uses baritone guitar on Last shadow puppets songs
Gretsch Spectra Sonic baritone!
This is why baritone guitar is phenomenal for looping

*All of my songs now sound like RDR2 Soundtrack
Just kidding. Love the sound.
I played a Baritone Acoustic in a GC last summer and loved it!
Why not buy a 7string instead of a baritone then?
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.
You did not play the low string? that's what that guitar specialty is. It sounded like a regular guitar ) :
Well, that would be ONE approach.
Now: listen! (Replay)
Yup. I recently bought some 8-String guitars which get into baritone territory, and a dedicated baritone is still on the wishlist. I was thinking Fender Sqiuer, but your Dan Electro sounds sweet. Nice one!
