Winding down from a long work day, playing through my Fender Acoustic 100 amp and the new Baritone. Really great sounding if you use headphones to capture the depth.
Beautiful, Thomas! I agree, headphones bring out the depth of the (I believe) Ibanez AE255BT Baritone guitar in your capable and expressive hands. Thanks for sharing this! (It only took six months for me to find it!)
Thank you Steve, and sorry for the delayed response, as it’s been a crazy year for us all. I assure you, a “D” chord has never sounded better to me then on a baritone.
Hello Thomas! You are great guitar player, and you have many interesting musical instruments! RUclips has recommended me your channel, because I was looking for samples of playing baritone guitar. This Ibanez has nice sound. I want to buy baritone too someday, but in Russia there is not good choice in musical stores. What can you say about strumming in low position Em (Hm) and Am (Em)? Is there conflict of bass H and E, does it sound dirty? I tried returning my standard guitar in this tuning, but this does not give me an answer =) Thank you, good luck! P.S. What kind of string do you use on your guitars? I mostly play D'addario, what about you?
Thank you for your note and sorry for the delayed response. The guitar sounds best with the D’Addario 16 to 70 strings and is very responsive to tapping and strumming. The stock electronics in it however don’t have a volume or tone so you have to rely on your acoustic amplifier for sound leveling. I’ve also tried a set of lighter strings from John Pearse with a wound 2nd string which is great for fingerpicking. As for strumming chords, you have to adjust your tones to allow for different songs, as there’s a likelihood of feedback if there’s too much bass. I’ve also used a sound hole stopper which helps this issue. The latest model they came out with not only has eq and volume, but a stereo option for a mike and piezo pickup. That’s a good option for you as well.
What is the translation of the letter H in the English language? I know it must be a translation issue because there is no H in the musical alphabet, only A,B,C,D,E,F and G. So it must be one of these letters.
@@thomasdemartino6109 cool, thanks. So is that the tuning you’re using in this video? Sounds so good but I didn’t think it was played in standard baritone tuning?
@@pascalsavy1306 I don’t usually vary from the standard baritone tuning to be honest as there’s so much depth within it and you could always use a capo to adjust for another song as the strings are as thick as piano wire.
Yes it can be, but you might wanna use a thicker gauge lower string in order to do that as these have a 62 on it, not a typical 70 size. And it’s the AE255BT.
Austin, thanks for the comment. I typically only tune this. Down a half step for the band I play in. It depends on the gauge string you choose. I’ve been using D’Addario Baritone 16 to 70 for the half step tuning and John Pearce 15 to 68 for my standard tuning. The tension is roughly the same under my fingers. John Pearce also make two other Baritone varieties for opened tunings. You should check them out.
That was lovely! Starting to want one of those guitars. A wonderful thing to come home to after a long day.
Thank you Brian. Yes it is that fun.
This is so very beautiful! Well done!
That was gorgeous. Thank you.
That amp seems well adapted for that guitar!...

@@pascalsavy1306 this is from classical music, where H=B (si)
CDEFGAH - do, re, mi, fa, sol, la, si (H), do
@@Borzovik thank you so much.
BEAUTIFUL! What is this piece of music?
It’s original David…thank you.
I dont know much about guitar ;but regarsing ur skill u maybe could try the guitar part in last mission impossible film soundtrack
This sounds beautiful. Can I ask what tuning you are using please?
A standard running for a baritone is B E A D F# B.

What is the exact model of this guitar? Can this guitar be tuned to A
Yes it can be, but you might wanna use a thicker gauge lower string in order to do that as these have a 62 on it, not a typical 70 size. And it’s the AE255BT.
I'm curious, so does it sound good even if you have the B tuned down to F# at the lowest???

How can I learn that song
45 years of practicing to records, and finding a melody to guide your fingers.
