I will say this for the bari, it is a smoother transition foe those plating a traditional guitar than moving to a 7-string or other extended range instrument. At least as far as the number of strings is concerned, but getting used to the longer scale can bring its own challenges as the frets are wider spaced. There are trade offs in any respect, but these can lead to some amazing ideas as a result.

I guess I'm weird because for some reason I transitioned better on a 7 string than a baritone, although my end goal (and kinda still is) owning a decent baritone. I have smaller hands, so a compound radius neck on my 26.5 in jackson js-22 7 felt natural than a big ass straight 27 in. with thick strings. Quite an anomaly lol

I went through my whole life, until this day, without knowing baritone guitar was a thing that exists. I've been tuning all my guitars down for ages. I almost never play E standard if I can help it. But I never knew about this. .. I wish I had known before buying my last guitar. I am intrigued by this. Especially after hearing the 12 string.. I think I know what I will be looking for next time.

Man, I'm with you. I've been playing for 20 years. Just last week I said to the guy at Guitar Center" I wish I could buy a guitar I could tune to B, but throw a capo on and be back in 22 fret E. " He looked at me like I was special, and says" yeah, since the 1860s, that's been called a Baritone guitar. " I've got some homework to do.

Robert Smith (The Cure) is well known for using a Fender Bass VI. I don't know anything about him using a baritone guitar. What I have discovered is, instruments tuned B - B are baritone guitars and instruments tuned down one octave from standard guitar E - E are called basses. (extended range)

2 жыл бұрын
Hi, Jake! Thanks for your question. The chord shapes from a standard tuned guitar absolutely translate if the same intervals are the same from string to string. However since the guitar is tuned lower, a first position C shape for example is not going to sound out as a "C". Please contact us direct with other questions as you have them!

Mike Kerr from Royal Blood uses short-scale 4 string basses for his sound. Only problem i would think you would run into is getting bass pickups to sound good under lots of gain. A bit of EQ'ing should do the trick though.

Hi and thanks for your message! Baritone guitars have a longer scale length (27-30") compared to traditional (24.75-25.5") and lower tunings, generally a fifth lower. Sometimes an octave, think Fender VI. Either guitar or bass amps work for these instruments, it's really all about the end result sound you're interested in obtaining. Please contact us direct with other questions as you have them! Robert Williams, Senior Sweetwater Sales Engineer, (800) 222-4700 ext. 2371, robert_williams@sweetwater.com
