Baritone Guitar For Metal Music?

[@SparksHardcoreMusic]

Deserves more views. Killer sounds and riffs, both brutal and clean man. Quality work.

[@JGuitar129]

Thanks man, I really appreciate it!

[@robstand]

The playing around 4:50 made me a subscriber. I could listen to that on loop for hours.

[@IAtoms]

I've never wanted a guitar more in my entire life

[@daan3192]

Got mine yesterday ibanez baritone amazing sound!! And tight

[@MetalheadOv666]

@I'm Just Kyle 😂 it’s not hard to learn and not that much different. I have a 28” baritone and it’s so easy to play in drop F#

[@razzaxxe]

That intro riff is such an understated beefer!! Love.

[@Vincecaruana7861]

Great to see someone play one with some actual chord progressions! Sounds good man.

[@JGuitar129]

Thanks man, I appreciate it!

[@jitteryzeitgeist]

2 years old I know, but the band Loathe uses a baritone jazzmaster to exceptional effect. The song GORED is killer.

[@AkiraSpectrum]

sick riffs! nice clean tones too btw!

[@JGuitar129]

Thanks man, I appreciate it!

My Own Summer (Shove It) 8-Bit in the background tho🤘

[@BloodRoses53]

Thank you for the video, I have the same guitar and love it for much the same reasons as you. I think that the thicker strings are why it has fuller body and louder output, most likely? Which is the whole point of this guitar. It screams and I love it!!

[@randyevans2623]

Getting my first ESP baritone next week. This was very helpful

[@grantrobinson4537]

That clean riff was stunning

[@jplund3149]

Deep dark sounding, love it. Lots of energy

[@metalmaster8979]

THAT, was bad ass dude, I just got one, learned a boatload from what you just played

[@zz-.-]

These seem super underrated for the price

[@mattcapobianco6588]

I really dug this video and you're playing is awesome!

[@dsbmkeyboardpiano6827]

Wow the picking sounds like Dsbm🖤

[@antonwilding9744]

[@h3rtzen]

What is the first riff? Awesome!

[@stephenwinchester6668]

Damn, this sounds awesome!!!

[@kenmiles4145]

Love it.

[@terfsmashermusic2087]

Wlll for sure invest in a baritone once I can justify it irt my playing skill. Love the way you play!

[@BrunoPeixotoVieira]

Dat clean song! Wow!!! Nice!!

[@doreyadrien4630]

Thanks for these riffs and nice video. I'm a bassist (i also play guitar a little bit) and i'm thinking about getting a baritone guitar to play with my 5strings bass in my futur recordings. Your video made me want to own one now 😊😊

[@reidwegrecki2653]

Damn, that guitar sounds sexy. It helps when the person playing it knows their shit too 😉

In the middle of taking a Mexican strat and completely re-customizing using 81/85 and a baritone warmoth custom neck.

[@marinomusico5768]

Lovely!!!! Omg

[@cliffordpurk18]

I'm gonna get one of these and put a set of Fishman Moderns in it. Should sound brutal

I have D'Addarrio strings on my acoustic. .13-.56 medium gauge.

I play in a Bsus2 tuning

[@billystink4611]

Great video, gotta say though that it’s a little disappointing that you don’t sound more like Toki Wartooth when speaking lol.

[@malignanttrog]

wow a djent-y riff thats actually good

[@nkbguy2193]

Sounds fucking awesome!

[@hierrogm]

So I play in a 7 string band but I hate playing leads on 7 string guitars …we tune to b on the 7th string standard….so with this guitar I can play in b on the 6th string and put my 7s into a wood chipper …cuz I wanna ..I almost quite the band

[@zaksmith9274]

Is that first riff “Brimstone” by Whitechapel? Regardless, sounds killer.

[@omarflores323]

Shit! I have you on fb and never knew you're a KZbinr. Nice!

[@Jacksonnnnnnnnnnnnn]

Dude your playing is amazing! Wondering, what was the first riff and the clean riff? Are those your original songs? Would love to buy an mp3 of both of them if they're available.

[@grizzd8898]

Think its from the doom soundtrack

[@magma9999]

Intro reminded me of "co-dependant by Adema"

[@kayelaine]

Is it easy to transpose 7 string songs to baritone

[@Buica-4]

Do yourself a favor get bare knuckle BLACKHAWK trust me there is more bite and also passive. Good video .

[@JGuitar129]

I'll definitely check those out!

[@brownpunk1794]

wat tuning u used and amp?

[@AnkothOfficial]

What's the deal exactly? I've read lots of peeps from the rock and metal scene use baritone guitars. This became notorious in the eighties as more musicians started playing around with drop tunings, which gave a need for extended range guitars and baritone guitars. Even some popular ones, like Pat O'brien (from Cannibal Corpse), who uses one in order to play in G# because he uses a Floyd Rose tremolo system, James from Metallica has used one on a song from Saint Anger (the guitars weren't so bad on that album, but the lack of solos hurt and everything else wasn't that great, especially the snare drum with no snare, but that's my personal opinion), Robbie Flynn from Machine head uses one and has his signature model, I believe. John Petrucci from Dream Theater has also used them on some songs. So why is this such a shock to everyone, literally there's like loads of videos on KZbin with "Can you play Metal on a Baritone guitar?" I mean, yeah, short answer. Of course, You can play metal on everything really, even on a kazoo if you're crazy enough (I've played Madhouse by Anthrax on one at school so I know what I'm talking about, lol) but I mean baritone guitar seems to be like the one thing that seems perfectly suited for metal (you know, it's a guitar, but lower and therefore, theoretically, heavier). You know what's more? You can also shred and play rhythm guitar parts for metal on a bass, if you distort it correctly, i know a kid on YT who's done that and literally played Slayer style stuff on a distorted bass. So to me this type of question is like "can you play metal on a seven string?". I originally came hear after searching up can metal be played on a strat, now that was surprising. Also, could you replace a strat's regular guitar strings with baritone guitar strings and make a ...baritone strat??

[@WrektSK]

Hmm, was the intro riff inspired by Mick Gordon's "The Only Thing They Fear is You"?

[@h3rtzen]

Thanks for this comment man, I was desperately trying to comprehend what does this remind me of!

[@MultiJd88]

Love the video you sound amazing man! Not sure if you’ll see this but I noticed you have a digitech drop pedal and was wondering how you like it after having it for a few years? Been very interested in getting one myself along with a nice baritone guitar. Thanks!

[@JGuitar129]

Thanks man, I appreciate it! Yup, I still have my Digitech Drop to this day and still love it and use it regularly. It's definitely a must for any pedalboard in my opinion since you get to experiment with different tunings without having to use a heavier string guage. It's also still the best Pitch Shifter pedal on the market (the only thing close to it I hear is the Drop Tune Effect built into the Quad-cortex).

[@MultiJd88]

@@JGuitar129 that’s awesome man I’m pretty much sold on getting one now.

[@padraig88]

I bought the ESP LTD MH-400B and I find it a bit too bright plus the palm mutes lack sustain. Not sure what to address in order to improve those.

[@JGuitar129]

patrick gallant I understand what you mean about the Baritone being a bit too bright compared to a 7 String, but it’s mainly the pickups. Maybe you could swap out the EMG’s for another pair? I’ve been hearing some great stuff from Fishman pickups!

[@tyrivera9924]

String gauge and pickups . I'd say try something like bareknuckle juggernauts

[@raydog_97]

EMG 81 X might be what you’re looking for but that’s just me.

[@JGuitar129]

It's a ESP LTD MH-401B and I believe it may have been discontinued, but you can still find it online.

[@cliffordpurk18]

@@JGuitar129 thank you! It sounds brutal. I love it.

[@elkemm1]

could be tuned c standard with thinner string set 12-60?

[@JGuitar129]

I believe it can, but I'd try maybe a set of 52 - 9 or so instead.

[@elijahfiest6288]

is drop c doable on these

[@JGuitar129]

I believe it is, but you'd probably have to use a 52-09 string gauge or lighter.

[@elijahfiest6288]

@@JGuitar129 would the length compensate for the spaghettifying of the strings? or is that tuning just more suited for a regular scale guitar?

[@JGuitar129]

@@elijahfiest6288 It would make the strings a lot tighter, but I still think it's best to use a standard scale 25.5 guitar for drop C with some heavy strings over a baritone. For a baritone I'd just recommend Drop A and below just to be on the safe side.

[@gabreeul9341]

It is Doable with lighter strings like 10s or 11s depending on the scale lenght but its really not necessary to have a baritone to tune to drop C, a 25.5 normal scale guitar Will already handle pretty well with some 11s or 12s on it. With a Baritone you usually would use at least Drop A# to lower

[@shehabsherif7012]

So can i tune 27inch scale guitar to standard e or drop d?

[@barrygomez5968]

Cool vid man. Still have your evh 5150 111?

[@XxRiseagainstfanxX]

This guitar would probably suffer with dropped c, but is dropped b still okay on it? I´m still thinking to go 7 string, but it sounds great.

[@shotisikharulidze623]

I like your videos

[@seldomright869]

Of course it's good for metal. It's practically a 7 without the high e.

[@Casper-jh3el]

Now I have a question. Can I tune a baritone guitar to Drop A # if the standard strings are on it? Would it damage the strings? Or would it be better to pull thicker strings on a regular 6-string guitar / or buy a standard 6-string guitar that can handle Drop A # tuning well. Because I'm thinking of buying this guitar.

[@JGuitar129]

So, the cool thing about the baritone guitar is that you can put lighter strings for lower tunings. With Drop A# for example, you can probably get away with a 56-9s or so where as on a regular 6 string you'd have to at least have 60-11 and up.

[@Casper-jh3el]

Allright, thank you 👍🏼

[@TheOfficialMylo]

Do you think you would be able to play D standard or Drop C on this?

[@Stretchwreckedem469]

You could definitely play in D Standard and Drop C on a guitar like this, especially on a regular 10 to 46 gauge set.

[@Lust4Kicks]

Are you tuned B to B or using alt?

[@JGuitar129]

I believe I was tuned to Drop A

[@deaddetailentertainment8942]

I am waiting on my baritone to arrive in the mail. Most of the songs I have written are in Drop B. Do I have to transpose them or is it possible to use regular Drop B tuning on the baritone?

[@JGuitar129]

Oh, you can use regular B Tuning on a Baritone without a problem!
