The first baritone guitar was a six-string bass tuned an octave below a classical guitar.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In 1961, Fender produced a strong competitor: the legendary <strong>Bass VI<\/strong>, considered a full-fledged electric bass, which was later released in a three-pickup Jaguar version in 1963. This instrument became popular among instrumental electric groups such as the Shadows.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Initially confined to classical music, the baritone guitar didn\u2019t gain immediate popularity. Over time, however, it became a staple for surf-rock and country artists. By the mid-1960s, the famous <strong>Danelectro Tic-Tac<\/strong> model, named for its distinctive elastic sound, found extensive use in soundtracks for spaghetti western films. <strong>Duane Eddy<\/strong>, a rock and roll legend and surf rock pioneer, was a notable figure in this genre.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The baritone guitar also gained traction in 1960s beat music, evidenced by John Lennon\u2019s use of the Fender Bass VI. Today, the baritone guitar is highly favored by <strong>metal<\/strong> and <strong>nu-metal<\/strong> bands, a genre emerging in the late 1990s characterized by dark, deep tones.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Baritone guitars<\/strong> have been made in both <strong>electric and acoustic<\/strong> versions, expanding their use across various musical genres.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Genres_and_baritone_guitarists\"><\/span>Genres and baritone guitarists<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">With its deep bass tones that add richness to songs, the baritone guitar, whether classical or electric, suits a wide range of music genres. Its use is evident in spaghetti western soundtracks or tracks from the early 1960s.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Many artists have played baritone guitars, including <strong>John Lennon<\/strong> and Jack Bruce of Cream. The first guitarist to use one publicly was <strong>Jet Harris<\/strong>, bassist for the Shadows, who performed &#8220;Besame Mucho&#8221; on a Fender VI during a TV show. <strong>Brian Wilson<\/strong> of the <strong>Beach Boys<\/strong>, pioneers of surf music, recorded &#8220;Dance, Dance, Dance&#8221; and &#8220;Carolina, No&#8221; using a baritone guitar.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The baritone guitar\u2019s deep sound can also be heard in <strong>Johnny Cash\u2019s<\/strong> country hits, along with works by Willie Nelson and Merle Haggard. The Fender VI appeared in music videos for the Beatles\u2019 &#8220;Hey Jude,&#8221; &#8220;Let It Be,&#8221; and &#8220;The Long and Winding Road,&#8221; played by John Lennon or George Harrison while Paul McCartney was at the piano.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Nearly two decades later, baritones, especially the Fender Bass VI, were used by <strong>Robert Smith<\/strong> of the <strong>Cure<\/strong>, particularly in the 1981 album Faith. <strong>Pat Metheny<\/strong> also embraced the baritone guitar, recording the 2003 album <strong>One Quiet Night<\/strong> with a custom-made baritone by Linda Manzer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The love for <strong>downtuning<\/strong> (tuning lower) has made baritone guitars popular among rock and <strong>heavy metal<\/strong> bands since the 1990s. While many guitarists opted for seven-string guitars, others, like <strong>Robb Flynn<\/strong> of Machine Head and <strong>Mike Mushok<\/strong> of Staind, chose baritone guitars.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Recently, the baritone guitar has experienced a resurgence in popularity, championed by musicians such as Ben Harper, Ed Gerhard, Pat Smear of the <strong>Foo Fighters<\/strong>, and others. In Italy, it has been popularized by the Piedmontese musician <strong>Filippo Cosentino<\/strong>, who innovatively uses it as a solo instrument.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-buttons is-layout-flex wp-block-buttons-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-button aligncenter\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link wp-element-button\" href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/3H1E4jJ\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">BUY A BARITONE GUITAR<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<br>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Features_of_the_baritone_guitar\"><\/span>Features of the baritone guitar<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The baritone guitar, also known as a six-string bass, features a longer neck that provides greater tension for lower tunings. Essentially, when tuned similarly to a standard guitar, a baritone guitar produces a <strong>lower register<\/strong> without causing the strings to become slack and unplayable. This is due to the increased scale length, which keeps the strings tight and playable at lower tunings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Compared to standard guitars, baritone guitars offer a <strong>deeper tonal range<\/strong> and more room for tonal exploration, producing a distinctive sound that immediately evokes the 1950s surf rock, spaghetti western country, and metal genres.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In terms of <strong>construction<\/strong>, baritone guitars have a wider body than standard guitars, especially in acoustic models. However, the most significant difference is in the <strong>scale length<\/strong> (or diapason), which is the distance between the nut and the bridge. Unlike standard guitars with scale lengths between 24.9 and 25.7 inches, baritone guitars have scales ranging from <strong>27&#8243;<\/strong> (685.80 mm) to around <strong>30.5&#8243;<\/strong> (774.7 mm), ideal for lower tunings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Another distinguishing feature is the use of <strong>thicker strings<\/strong>, ranging from <strong>0.017&#8243;-0.095&#8243;<\/strong>, compared to the traditional 0.008&#8243;-0.054&#8243;. The thicker strings allow for significant work on harmonics. Moreover, the sound, deeper and more resonant, is perfect for metal genres.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Regarding <strong>tuning<\/strong>, several options are available. The most common is <strong>B tuning<\/strong>, a perfect fourth below standard tuning (B E A D F# B). Another popular tuning is <strong>A tuning<\/strong>, a perfect fifth lower (A D G C E A), offering a deeper sound. Other tunings include <strong>Drop A<\/strong> (A E A D F# A), <strong>descending major third<\/strong> (C F A E G C), octave down, and <strong>Nashville tuning<\/strong> for the middle strings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Baritone guitars come in various types. The most commonly produced categories today are <strong>vintage baritone<\/strong> and <strong>metal baritone<\/strong>. This category also includes <strong>7-string<\/strong> and <strong>8-string baritone<\/strong> guitars, which allow for incredibly deep tones while maintaining playable string tension.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Some models have the soundhole shifted to the upper shoulder to counteract the tension exerted by the strings on the soundboard.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Many wonder if it\u2019s possible to <strong>convert a standard guitar into a baritone<\/strong>. In the following video, Riccardo Tagliabue explains how it can be done.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe title=\"Why Did Nobody Tell Me About Baritone Guitars?!\" width=\"1160\" height=\"653\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/kmGEIrNh9zo?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Baritone Guitar &#8211; Video by Sean Daniel<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Playing_the_baritone_guitar\"><\/span>Playing the baritone guitar<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Playing techniques for baritone guitars often involve doubling bass lines (or double bass), muting the string sound, and decisively picking with a plectrum to take advantage of the spring reverb as a defining element of the sound. This technique has led to a style known as &#8220;<strong>tic-tac bass<\/strong>.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">One advantage of the baritone guitar is that it doesn\u2019t require new fingerings. This makes it <strong>easier to play than a seven-string guitar<\/strong>, where the additional string can initially be disorienting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-buttons is-layout-flex wp-block-buttons-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-button aligncenter\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link wp-element-button\" href=\"https:\/\/www.thomann.de\/it\/chitarre_baritone.html?partner_id=76793\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">BUY A BARITONE GUITAR<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The baritone guitar is essentially a guitar with a longer scale length, allowing it to be tuned lower than traditional guitars.
