This instrument is used mostly in Mexican music from the north of the country. Like someone said, Los Tigres del Norte, Intocable, los Cadetes de linares, Grupo Pesado, are some classic groups that used this instrument. Something more modern and that is currently trending a lot is Grupo Frontera. They also use this instrument.
The roots of this instrument go even deeper, way before these groups. Back then, it was just bajo sexto and accordion. A good example is the tiny desk concert of Flaco Jimenez and Max Baca. If you want to go down the rabbit hole, check out the Frontera collection so you can hear how the foundation of the genre was set.
This video is perfect for my bias towards Taylor Guitars, Flat caps, and Quinton's virtuosity. Thanks again for yet another enjoyable 7-minutes and 57-seconds,
The Bajo quinto originated in North Mexico between Nuevo León Tamaulipas, and Texas the founder of la música regional Mexican specifically Norteña our LOS ALEGRES DE TERÁN and many more and there is a special tuning for the bajo quinto and the way to play it
Hell yeah. There’s a lot of great Mexican musicians that feature these. Los Tigres Del Norte, chalino Sanchez, intocable, some Vicente Fernández, Antonio Aguilar, just to name a few. These a pretty classic but there’s tons of bands
Alongside the button accordion, Bajo Sextos and Bajo Quintos are the heart of Mexican-American Conjunto and Mexican Norteno music...yes, they are different genres! Macias Bajo Sextos built in San Antonio, Texas for three generations are the "Stradivarius of Bajos."
For me that top pickguard is a deal breaker, hopefully it can be removed without ruining the top. Sound wise not something for traditional conjunto music. But, for accordion/sax music it should pair up really nice. Kinda interested in checking one out.
“Jinetes en el cielo” by La Kumbre Con K has an amazing bajo quinto solo. Check it out!! It’s a Norteño version of “ghost riders in the sky” but this groups bajo quinto player is one of the best in the game in my opinion.
Seems to us Andy (Powers) "Bajo Decimo" (or "Bajo Quinto y Decimo"?) would be more appropriate ;-) As always, great demo Doc, outstanding in fact with this Taylor.
@@folkchick1 I've been in the mood for Fogelberg lately. To the Morning, Hickory Grove, The Reach, Times like These, Wishing on the Moon, and Netherlands. I listened to that album this morning.
The instrument is only used for Norteño or Norteño Sax or as Texmex music if u wanna hear the powerful sound of it search up Max Baca he plays the original instrument called the Bajo Sexto

Adding to my Spotify - thanks for the info!

take a look Los Nietos de Teran, definitely a virtuoso on the bajo quinto Jorge Loayzat
I’m a gibson player. Usually don’t have much of a taste for Taylors but I love this thing. The black with the double white pick guard is amazing.
Course, it would look perfect with a Gibson headstock.
I like Taylor guitars for building something different and better than the competition .
Thank you, Paul and Quinton.
Thank you for the video. Very unique instrument. Fun video
I love the sound of this guitar. I can see it being a very useful addition to the color palette.

that's great,
the Lobos album to check out is La Pistole y el Corazon, all acoustic album.

Jinetes en el cielo is a great song including a bajo quinto solo in the beginning, love the vid ❤
2:36 The Lowest string sounds like a Baritone Guitar which is reminiscent of the Baritone Guitars that Taylor used to make in big batches.
Hell yeah. There’s a lot of great Mexican musicians that feature these. Los Tigres Del Norte, chalino Sanchez, intocable, some Vicente Fernández, Antonio Aguilar, just to name a few. These a pretty classic but there’s tons of bands
Thanks for recommendations! I'll be checking these groups out for sure!
For sure Quinton.
@@quintonking9960 Im a big fan of your playing. Keep doing big things, man.
Quintin Bandito..........Sounds beautiful!

Seems like a lower version of the Puerto Rican Cuatro (which, despite the name, is also a 10 string 5 course instrument tuned in fourths)
Grupo intocable has one of the best bajo quinto players

cool video guys
This instrument would be great for Oberkrainer Music
search up El Magallanes, Froy Espitia, & Lalo Nieto
Now i'm wondering if one of these was used on Fogelberg's Innocent Age.. I can see this as a bluegrass instrument for sure.
That is one of the best albums!!!

Is it made in Tecaté?
That one is from el cajon.
It's the mandodread
nice
how is this a 12 string with only 10 tuning pegs?
Maybe cause it’s not a 12 string 🤯🤯🤯
That is for norteño mexican music.
Jimmy Page in his hay-day would have wore that thing out LOLOLO
Picame Tarantula - Buyuchek / Crazy bajo quinto solo.
Is this like a Jacob Collier's guitar on steroids
What's the connection/similarity?
Oh wait they both have 5 courses yeah got it
My dream bajo quinto🤩🤩🤩… but its 4k$😔
Are you going to
Be dealer ? It has a good
Sound Inbox me more
Info please
Yes, we are a Taylor dealer. Here is the link for this guitar.... musicvilla.com/collections/taylor/products/taylor-657ce-doce-double-12-string
Mexican Norteño music uses that guitar.,
Listen to Intocable
I'm not a taylor fan, but i like this one, in terms of the tones and the cosmetic quality. It sounds and looks very cool. hmmmm
I will never own! One of those!
Krist! EIther someone doesn't know how to play that or the action is too low with all that buzzing.
perhaps both?
nahhhh it just sounds like all taylors
Mexican bandas and norteños have a very aggressive guitar playing technique. It's supposed to sound raspy and in your face.
The instrument is only used for Norteño or Norteño Sax or as Texmex music if u wanna hear the powerful sound of it search up Max Baca he plays the original instrument called the Bajo Sexto
Why would they put someone who doesn’t know how to play it on the video?
why not, learn bajo quinto or bajo sexto or call a Mexican to do it right.
Wrong person to put on this video....and then try to explain el bajo quinto . Please try again.
all the bands mentioned here sux except for los lobos and Baca
Ejele ni sabe tocar bajoquinto
