My first video course, The Tone Course, is available now! Check it out here.

Yes! I needed this pallet cleanse. I recently got a new Squier Carbronita Baritone tele, and tried to play a ton of heavy gain stuff on it, but you just reminded me how much it shines as that wet delay low mid-low gain "glue".
Thank you!!
Page not found. Are you course no longer available?
I had a Jerry Jones Baritone which was tuned A-A..Why aren't there Baritones tuned that way anymore? I preferred it.
***Watches first 40 seconds***
Youre right, I need a baritone guitar
Wow, good for you. I was sold on the idea, like 10 seconds in.
@@raym.778
Lol, you are strong willed and stubborn I see... You're are not impulsive at all.
All joking aside, did you get one and, if so, what is it like?
@@tomasotreasaigh111 Hahahahaha. Oh no. I'm still paying off recent impulse purchase # 1, a '72 Fender Telecaster Deluxe. It'll be a while until I make a serious attempt to buy another guitar.
*Watches first 15 seconds*
You're right I need to replay Red Dead 2
@@raym.778 make it 5
Meh, I'll just stick to putting my capo on my negative 5th fret.
'B standard' tuning for me 🤣🤣
Sounds like the greatest Jeep ad ever
How did you get that so accurate
Truth.
Made my day lmao
Hahaha bullseye
Ah yes I can see it now
I used to have one, but I sold it to buy a Nespresso and a vacuum cleaner. Now I'm really alert all the time and my home is spotless, but I miss her.
"Mans gotta do what a man's gotta do and a man's gotta do it!"- (either John Wayne. or someone mocking him,- can't remember,& refuse to Google)
To be fair, Nespresso's are pretty great
Lmfao
What's a Nespresso?
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.
Finish that intro song, release it, let me buy it. Holy crap.
thejacobean
I agree
Yes
thejacobean I agree as well. Sounds really good!
Look up the last shadow puppets miracle aligner they sound like it
rhythm_panther that's what I was thinking. Other than the slide guitar, it sounds very Alex and Miles
That song in the intro was amazing. It sound like a modern Spaghetti Western style song.
Nah, the rhythm is all wrong for it to be a Spaghetti western track.
@@apolloptx true. The sound and instrumentation is reminiscent. That's what I was referring to.
Check out Eyes Like the Sky by King Gizzard
I see a remake of Good, Bad and Ugly, but on Harley motorcycles.
Listen to Miracle Aligner by The Last Shadow Puppets
If a baritone will make all my songs sound like a Silent Hill theme like the intro of this video, then, yeah, I'm sold.
FrippTricky fuckin love akira yamaoka
Right?
@Wilbur Wafer i bet they've used one in SH2 intro theme
I know exactly what you're talking about
I was just thinking this then I saw this comment 😂
Aren't you scared that Fm chord is already copywrited, because someone else has used it in the past? :) Always good to hear your original music!
Hey, writing "Fm" in a comment is copyrighted! Dang, so are exclamation points, I'm screwed!!!
@@johncubbin hahaha, fair point, the police has just left my house, watch out!
You're done for bruv
I’m OK though...
Retro Plus innit brov
I've never heard of a baritone guitar, literally until just now
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..
c j it has a longer scale length
@@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.
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)
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
Was really hoping it would go for longer!
I sensed an Ennio Morricone vibe. Very nice.
I know the damn track, but I can’t think who it is
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!
Sounds like the only reason lol
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.
Hey man, I’d listen to an album like the intro.
James Cass that fuzz was sick
Listen to "Eyes Like The Sky" from King Gizzard
Just listen to some pink floyd until he releases it lol
Listen to Michael Kiwanuka Love&Hate
Reminds me of the The Last of Us soundtrack, might have to go listen to that now
STOP SPENDING MY MONEY!
Just a tip for everyone who doesn’t want to spend big money on a baritone: Warmoth makes baritone conversion necks for strats and teles 😉
Kai Kutzki did this for a partscaster tele. I now play that guitar almost exclusively.
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.
Would i be able to do that with my mexi strat?
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 :)
Baritone guitars where very popular in the 60s to help boost the bass parts that where being mixed for transistor
radio.
There just ain't no tone like a Danelectro Baritone....
Gosh darn it
Wish I had one to prove that...
Or a Danelectro Bass!
Tried a Squier Vintage Modified Baritone Jazzmaster lately?...
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.
theoversouls no
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.
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.
This is my planned application for it, glad to know others are doing it, too!
I own an Ibanez mmm1 baritone guitar, best guitar I've ever owned
Great addition to the quiver! Love layering guitars and doubling with high strung acoustics and and baritones. Good stuff Rhett!!
I'll never regret buying my baritone guitar. Love the sound and feel. Totally recommend getting one. ;)
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!
Great Vid man. I've done the same thing Picked up Baritone's and loved them and then put them down. Great info
Been playing a baritone guitar for 13 years. Love it and rarely pickup a regular guitar unless it’s the Tele
A couple months ago my grandson hit me up for a baritone. I've been looking at them for him and now I've convinced myself I need one also!
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.
Yeah baritone guitars are genuinely my favorite instruments purely from their versatility
I also did not realize that. Now I guess I have to buy a baritone guitar after all
That song in the beginning is amazing!!
I totally agree, everyone should have a baritone in their collection. Cheers Rhett!!
Love the baritone. Thanks for the lush tune Rhett.
Davie504 *want's to know your location* He said he wants his Guitass back
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 second that- the Agile's are great, if not always so pretty.
I’ve been thinking about getting an Agile baritone myself, I have an Agile AD2300 and it’s a lot of fun
Ur passion is clear. Thanx for ur videos. I always find the info helpful
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’d love one but I need to learn to play my regular 6 string first!
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.
Had my ear on one of these for years and l love your intro demo.Thanks.❤
I keep coming back to this video a few times per week. That intro song is just amazing.
I didn't know I need a baritone until this amazing intro!
I liked the video but kept wanting for more playing, it sounded great!
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.
never played a baritone, but love Danelectro's, they have their own personality, which am sure has enhanced your loving of this guitar.
I seriously need that PRS 277 tuned to C. That’s literally gonna be my next guitar.
I built a baritone strat a couple years ago. Added a floyd Rose. Very fun to play.
Having owned one, converted a couple 30" scale bass' to 6 string baritone, and finally built my own. Yeah, they're rather cool guitars.
Open chords sound absolutely divine!!! Have not purchased an acoustic baritone guitar yet.
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!
Dude that intro track is awesome!! Great video! You keep making them and I’ll keep watching
Now I have GAS for two Dano's ! 59X and a Baritone ,you are an enabler Rhett ! ;-)
Thanks Rhett. Gives me something to think about. Loved the intro music!!!
I've had a baritone for about a year. Haven't used it much, but you've given me some ideas on how and what to use it for. The I bought was the Airline Map Deluxe from Eastwood guitars. It has Humbuckers and a Bigsby copy. It plays surprisingly good. I guess I've got some new inspiration now! Thanks Rhett!
What made you go for a Baritone instead of a 7 or 8 string guitar? Or even just tuning down to B Standard on a regular 6 string?
Cheers :)
"Spaghetti western"...if I played Chinese music with it, would it be "Lo mein eastern?"
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.
This is a great video. Thanks. I too almost bought a baritone awhile back and have always been curious about them. This was a great all round informative video!
I got a 7 string baritone, amazing tele from esp
I play a baritone guitar at church maybe 40% of the time. It just works. They might be easier to EQ than standard guitars as well.
Does your bass player use a 5-string? I'd be worried there would be too much overlap
@@lamech006 different beasts.
If one of your singer dudes wants to get all strummy with an acoustic, they've got a little more space of their own in the mix.
@@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.
@@lamech006 ...and most fivers are strung in low B, rather than high C.
Such great taste, as always. keep up the good work mate
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 been playing for 8 years and I have never heard of a baritone guitar
You should try tuning it E to e like a bass vi, that’s a whole other instrument
Melih Kaleciklioglu the scale length isn’t long enough. You’d need at least 32 inches. This model only has a 29 inch scale.
@@noahbrewer2476 what about short scale basses?
Intro just sounds amazing! ♥️
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.
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.
Intro with those licks reminded me of Last of Us. Not disappointed
The best intro to any guitar video on RUclips ever!!!
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!
the opening briefly reminds me of the last of us & rdr2
Sounds like Twin Peaks 😍😍😍
I own two of them. They are all I play. Highly recommended!
Not sure how you do it Rhett, but your videos are consistently interesting and engaging. Thanks!
Watched this video again after a year, and I really need a Baritone.
S.A.M.E.
Same
i can only play like 5 different chords and i want one
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
tune it to drop A and you’ll know all the chords
I have a Fender Jazzmaster. Love it. At 30" scale it tunes A to A adding depth and versatility. To tune B to B, I capo the second fret.
You mean Bass VI?
I didn't need to be convinced. I already *DESPERATELY* wanted one. Just gotta get the money to buy it.
Great, the last thing I need is someone else giving me logical and legit reasons to buy another guitar. I do that pretty well myself.
I’d love to see you do a comparison to a 7 string.
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'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!
This is great to know. I have never appreciated the normal turning of guitars and have always down tuned. It just sounds better to me. I am a baritone anyway. I was going to get another guitar so, I will pick one of these up. Thanks for the video.
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.
For those who like the Intro song check out "eyes like the sky" by King Gizzard and the Lizard Wizard
oh yeah I love them
oh yeah
I played a Baritone Acoustic in a GC last summer and loved it!
Great tune Rhett! I too have succumbed to the call of the baritone. I've had a couple of different Danos - the headstock on yours is something I haven't seen before. Used to seeing 3+3 instead of the inline 6.
I want a baritone guitar just so I can play Architects songs without having floppy strings.
Can we have a full version of the song you made in the beginning? That was awesome
Man!! Weighty, inspiring, creative tool review aside... that riff invokes so much emotion and fire to solo over!!! God tier channel! 😎👍 Apreeeeesh
Thank you! Your vid was way better than what I’ve watched. Everybody just shows off and I learn nothing. Great info!
*Buys Baritone
*All of my songs now sound like RDR2 Soundtrack
Just kidding. Love the sound.
Alex Turner uses baritone guitar on Last shadow puppets songs
Gretsch Spectra Sonic 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 Rhett, I just bought that model and love it!
These guitars are made to Djent. Try it.
No
@@BobJones-bh9qz What are you, gay?
Thanks, I already knew that. Mind giving my broke ass the money for one?
I have a Yamaha Drop 6 tuned B-B and I love it. Will totally rumble the house!
Every few months I have the same debate in my head about whether I need a baritone guitar or not. But this video helped settle the issue. I want one! Your idea about using it to double a bass or guitar part was the kicker for me. That would be so cool!
Why not buy a 7string instead of a baritone then?
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)
I agree. I ended up buying two last year and just wrote an entire album on them. It’s all I use now. Reverend Descent RA baritone and the black Fender Squier Jazzmaster baritone. The Reverend is my main guitar.
I have never even thought about a baritone guitar, thanks for walking me through this one. An interesting vidio! Thanks man.
