      Nice! I am an acoustic player as well… Moving to Phoenix where humidity is super low, so have already replaced my #1 six string with a carbon fiber RainSong. So, will more likely go for the Guild 8 string, at -$700, instead of the Taylor, just in case I don’t humidify properly. Or, an Emerald carbon fiber X30 6 string baritone.

      @@jed1166 If that's what works for you go for it, but don't let the humidity sway you to a guitar you don't love. Over a 4-year span I moved from Buffalo (arctic and dry in the winter, warm and wet in the summer) to Vegas (hot and dry all the time) to Memphis (hot and swampy) without an issue in any of my guitars.

      That’s actually a very smart idea to use a 25.5” guitar like that - I’ve often wondered why there’s a sudden push to use baritones when most metal players just seem to drop the tuning on a long scale guitar.
      So what are “the right set of strings” in your opinion? What other changes would need to be made to the guitar? And would you play it more like a guitar or a bass - how does that work, lol?

    So would you recommend a guitar player trying a baritone or a bass first? How does someone decide which one to try next? Are there basses that sound like a baritone and vice versa? What are the main differences between the scale lengths, string gauges, etc? This would make a neat follow up topic for another time! 😉

    • @gunkanjima3408
      @gunkanjima3408 2 года назад +1

      Well it all depends on what you want to play. Baritone’s are still guitars, they are just tuned 3 steps lower than standard tuning so they get a slightly different sound, range wise. It would be much easier going from a standard guitar to a baritone. A bass is a completely different instrument with fewer strings and a different tuning. At the same time, I guarantee more guitar players own a bass on the side oppose to a baritone, though that ratio is likely changing. There’s an instrument called a Bass VI that’s technically a guitar but it’s tuned an entire octave lower than a guitar and sounds like a bass. However, I have never heard of literally anyone who owns or plays one lol.

    So I have a few questions. I’m very much a beginner. I’ve had multiple people who know I’m a beginner tell me I should try a baritone. But it seems like more of an advanced level instrument. I’m still playing mostly open chords with the occasional single note line here and there. Would you play the same chord shapes on one of these vs a standard guitar? Would the same chord progressions apply?

    • @paulg3686
      @paulg3686 2 года назад

      Its just the same, but lower. Everything still works. Its not advanced at all, its just a lower pitch. You should totally try one, it might inspire different sounds and ideas. If a chord sounds funny, you can always move a finger over a bit and find something that works a bit better. Just try anything you find interesting, you can already make noises on a stringed instrument played with a plectrum. Anything else should be a quick learn whether it be a baritone, a bass, a mandolin, or whatever else you want. Even if someone says its harder doesnt mean its objectively harder. Theres a curve to everything.

    It should be noted you don't need a baritone to tune down to B or A if you wanna try it for cheap. Your old unused Affinity Squier with a 25.5" neck will do just fine with the right set of strings - we metal players don't get baritones before tuning to G# generally and even then a 25.5 neck will handle G just fine.

    Nice playing! I love baris, presently I own two, both of which are customs that I put together myself. The first is a 27" mahog TL tele, with a 1950s Ric horseshoe pickup in the bridge and a 60s Teisco goldfoil at the neck, and a Bigsby. It's gorgeous and sounds unworldly.. The second is based on a 30" Bronco bass, with a Dano lipstick in the bridge and a Teisco goldfoil in a sort of 'middle position'. The trick here is that it is an 8 string; 6 courses with the two middle courses as octave pairs, which push the tonality back up into regular guitar range. I wish I could share pics with you guys; I know you'd appreciate them.
    So, two "one of a kind" custom baris for me, and I'd consider getting a third, maybe one of those Squiers. Looks like a prime modding platform...
