Because of this video I found gojira and fell in love with their music, I have the same baritone in red, keep up the great work, you rock bro!

[@CSantosMusic]

Thank you very much! That's awesome that i introduce you to the great band Gojira! Cheers

[@beautyspots80]

Wow, those sounds ! What an instrument the Bariton Guitar is. I never thought I'd listen to such musical sounds.

[@HexOmega3113]

You do baritone metal better than any of the other guitarists I've watched on KZbin. I think you've tapped into something that others missed

[@CSantosMusic]

Thanks man! Cheers

[@chocolatecookie8571]

Maybe because he uses less gain making it more tight sounding. But he also plays very accurate

[@rolandbittmann1351]

You should check out Andrew Baena then bro. Waaaay better. And he ACTUALLY play baritone riffs, not drop C# crap with a fckn 27 inch neck...

[@Antoine_Fainthearted]

Came for the guitar, stayed for the riffs

[@SpaceEmperorGenos]

The HB Amarok has to be one of the sickest guitars out there for the price. If I had an extra 100 dollars to drop I definitely would have gotten an Amarok over my Schecter Omen 6, lol. If I could have both though? Ugh, dream come true.

[@jann_rygh]

bought this Beauty because of THIS clip - looks and plays like a Dream 💘 Thank You!

[@CSantosMusic]

Awesome! Thank you too for watching! Enjoy your new guitar.

[@GRINNERMETAL]

It’s on my list of guitars I want!

[@iangarza990]

quality is terrible tho

[@everythingguitar6247]

Nice playing. Great choice of songs. Cool jumper, too.

[@AutisticViking83]

Wow you took me on a bit of a journey with these riffs. The first two caught my attention and I stayed until the end. Rock on

[@CSantosMusic]

Thanks for watching! 🤘

[@rocketmath5821]

I don't know why, but there is something deeply amusing about that sweater paired with that music :D Great playing!

[@CSantosMusic]

Thanks!

[@KonStafylides]

I noticed you included Silvera, which is in D, pretty high for baritone standards. I'll be getting an Amarok as my 2nd ever guitar as an exclusively metal musician soon, but I'm wondering if I should get the 6 string, 7 string, BT, etc. 1) From your experience, does it feel "necessary" to have a baritone after some point? If so, where is that point? B standard? A standard? 2) Does a baritone feel a lot different to a normal scale length? I play on a 25.5 superstrat, and I'm wondering how big the difference is when you go up to a 27. Is it significantly harder to grab some chords, or do a power chord on the first fret, etc? 3) How "limiting" is a baritone as a main guitar? How easy is it to play tunings like D, Eb or even E on a baritone? Borderline impossible? How high can you go before the tension becomes unbearable or even dangerous to the instrument? Basically I'm just asking if a baritone as a main instrument is a silly choice, and how hard the transition might be, or how limiting it might be Anyways, great video, thanks a lot in advance!

[@slamdmkv]

I don’t know if this helps but when I switched from a 25.5 to a 27 inch 7 string, I never really noticed a difference in how long it feels, I can play most chords just as easy on it as a 25.5

[@KonStafylides]

@@slamdmkv That's wonderful, thank you for the insight mate! Where do you usually tune?

[@headsliceband]

@@KonStafylides Hi, it's maybe late, but... First point, in the band we play in drop B, and we play now on baritone guitar becaus the intonation is more accurate on a 27" or 28" scale length. You can use strings gauge like 11/56 or 12/60 with this configuration. If you go lower, you have to increase the size of the strings. Second point, yes a baritone feels different than a regular guitar, you have to try it. Last point, this is not an instrument that you can use in any situation, but just like an other guitar. If you have a regular guitar with 10/46 strings, it's difficult to play in B standard with this configuration. If you are interested in baritone and lower stuff, check The Bunn channel 😉 And if you're curious, check our band page 🤘

[@Sanderson890]

I don't really feel the difference between 25.5 and 26.5/27 inch scale. But having a baritone as your main guitar could be limiting, it all depends on what music you wanna play. If you wanna play for example Breaking Benjamin stuff or Slipknot stuff, it's good, I have my baritone tuned to drop A# and its awesome. But if you wanna play in standard tuning too, it might be better to buy a 7 string, it takes time to adjust to the +1 string, but you have more versatility. I have my 7 string tuned to drop A. 25.5 scale can still handle drop B though (I have one in that tuning and its not bad, but the string gauge must be really thic).

[@still-standingrunner810]

The inclusion of Machine Head got me to watch and like the video

[@riccardomanzoni2990]

Thanks pal, always up for some new music!

[@WoodWizard13]

Amazing, great song choices

[@CSantosMusic]

Thanks!

[@El_Dekv]

Nice video! Only the most difficult riff in the history of music was missing: Tactical Nuke by The Acacia Strain

[@mimoochodom2684]

Sensational stuff Claudio.

[@CSantosMusic]

Thanks a lot!

[@sixonesics]

Loved this video man i have this guitar with 13 to 72's on it but was pretty worried about tuning to anything higher than B standard. Did tuning higher on it give you any problems?

[@CSantosMusic]

Thanks! The highest tunning i used on it was D standard and i just had to adjust the truss rod a bit.

[@bertssuggests]

Wow! Good playlist

[@mohammadibnsoria1044]

The tone is so heavy, nice work my man \m/

[@CSantosMusic]

Thanks a lot!

Heavy Duty Tone and Playing Man! Subbbed

[@CSantosMusic]

Thank you very much! Cheers

[@LandsOfDespair]

Sounds awesome! Have you checked intonation above 12th fret? I bought an Amarok-7 with 25.5", but returning it because it was very hard to intonate low B, it was sharp by 35 cents at first. Now it is 5-15 cents sharp. With spring removal it is in tune, but saddle is maxed. With Drop A it is even worse, obviously. So I'm looking into buying Amarok-6 and Amarok-BT instead one 7string :)

[@CSantosMusic]

Sorry to hear about your Amarok 7. The intonation in this one is pretty good

[@LandsOfDespair]

@@CSantosMusic Thank you :) Will try my luck with 6 and BT then!

[@alicecheshir]

@@LandsOfDespair I have a Harley Benton sc custom ii (single cut with 24.75 scale) and I'm still surprised that the guitar hits the notes after 12 frets even in drop g lol

8 string guitars are also baritone guitars its an even further step which keeps me rocking everyday good vid yo

[@CSantosMusic]

Thanks for watching!

[@dancrfx9991]

Could you give your tone settings if you were using a katana? It’s beyond brilliant

[@CSantosMusic]

Thanks! But in this video i used plugins to make the guitar tones

Muito bom! Grande som! Para além de muito bem tocado, muito bem misturado! Adorei o teu setup de iluminação, muito pro. Alguns dos meus riffs favoritos aí na ponta dos teus dedos 😁🤘 Keep rocking!

[@CSantosMusic]

Obrigado mais uma vez! 😉 Abraço!

[@michaelkupfer3723]

How do you like these EMG Pickups? Do they feel like passive ones?

[@CSantosMusic]

The pickups are nice. They have high output

[@graemedixon6314]

Awesome tones. What did you use to drop the tunings? Or did you actually detune the guitar

[@CSantosMusic]

Thanks! I really tuned the guitar to whatever tuning i used

[@father21]

Ya no la venden en ese color en Thomann ahora solo hay de 7 cuerdas

[@milossegrt8047]

nice playing bro!!!

[@CSantosMusic]

Thanks man!

[@Bobysisland]

Is played with B tuning on a baryton guitar ?

[@Eric241624]

I'll never understand how you get your finger tapping on Silvera to sound so loud

[@liviofraschetti4713]

Awesome!! What amp or software you have used?

[@CSantosMusic]

Thanks! In this one i used the STL Tones AmpHub plugin

[@heikalassegaf1857]

Youre so good sir

[@TheSingingDrummer]

What's your signal chain? I dig the tone and drive. I haven't been able to find that with my bari

The signal chain is: Guitar into my Audient Sono interface to Logic Pro and i used the STL Tones AmpHub Plugin

[@TheSingingDrummer]

@@CSantosMusic if you can, can you share your settings in STL? I have considered getting it.

[@ghostdog9441]

really good, nice riffs...i bought the same guitar today ;) ....you played this all in drop D...right.?

[@CSantosMusic]

Thanks! I used different tunings from B standard to D standard

[@leonleon8396]

@@CSantosMusic I play mostly in standard d , drop c. Should i buy the baritone or the normal 25.5 scale? What gauge did you use for the standard d? ( if i go for the baritone version i have to keep an eye for the neck tension.. bigger gauge might make problems right?)

[@CSantosMusic]

@@leonleon8396 I think you'll be fine with the 25.5 scale version for that tunings. Just use like 11's or 12's gauge strings. In this video i used 013's

[@uome20bukz]

It’s upsetting you didn’t play any Amon Amarth riffs in this video. They literally play in baritone tuning most of the time, occasionally tuning to drop A for songs like The Hero and Guardians of Asgaard.

[@rolandbittmann1351]

No way dude... D Standard on a baritone hurts the balance of the universe. You can't be serious

[@imdidi5695]

Relação qualidade/preço fantástico, versátil e o low end é brutal. Bom video! \m/

[@CSantosMusic]

Obrigado! É de facto uma excelente guitarra para o preço. A nova série de guitarras da Harley Benton está muito boa.

[@jimusikero]

What tuning your using..?

[@CSantosMusic]

I used different tunings from B standard to D standard

[@masterjar1691]

What is "natural" tuning for this guitar?

[@CSantosMusic]

That's B-E-A-D-F#-B

[@Jonthebard]

How will this beauty handle drop G

[@CSantosMusic]

The riff from Periphery i played was on drop G# so i think it will handle it nicely

[@ILLRICARDO]

Your like a riff machine!! Amazing playing!!! Am considering diving into getting a few Harley Bentons.

Thats really neat, well played, but you dont need baritone for that
