PRS Mike Mushock's Baritone Guitar

[999mousie]

i want one of those!

[georgie6699]

delightful sound man!!!

[MetalSlab]

Sounds muddy as fuck. I think I will stick to a 7 string or drop C 6.

[ZeTaEXiSTeNZ]

I think playing a baritone guitar in major keys almost defeats the purpose somehow ;/

[dexter12322222222222]

dude plays like a beast!

[PLEOAVCEE99]

this is like a pussy's bass or a lesbians guitar-oh yeah i went there

[king666nothing]

@PLEOAVCEE99 Proud of yourself, aren't you? ))))

[PLEOAVCEE99]

@king666nothing yes i found it very funny

[DeniaHD]

@PLEOAVCEE99

hahahaha that was gooood! :P

[ShadowGhost777]

<:O HOLY SHIT! this guitar sounds awsome i want one now BRAVO

[MikelXlXlXl]

This guitar will be mine. Oh yes! It will be mine.

[Mom082770]

Thats a dark sexy sound coming from that!

[APCFan227]

It's beautiful... I want it pretty bad...

[rastan1977]

guitar amp and good player and there you have it.Dont listen to non of these bullshit new ideas.Its the player that makes the sound.

[richicious]

Nice!

[vollekelle]

1:10 Nice Smiley Face!

[4eyedCyclopes]

them strings must be brand new...dont like that sound at all.

[Mauimuzik517]

I WANT ONE!!!

[srvfan42]

The E1M1 music from Doom would sound badass on this.

[ajxa21]

Is Pat Smear (Foo Fighters) playing baritone guitars on the new Wasting Light album?

[ElectroFret21]

Dude, stop saying "BAH-ritone." It's fucking annoying.

[trogador95]

orrrrrrrr you could get a 7 or 8 string

[TurkeyTuck]

FFS, just get thick strings, you don't need a baritone for lower tuning...

[befrankis]

@TurkeyTuck the tone is different on barritone than a guitar with fatter strings although you are right you dont NEED one but they handle lower tuneings better

[XIVDock]

@TurkeyTuck Maybe, but some people dislike the ridiculous string size and string tension...

[brdrhppr]

"BAHritone"

[dvdsmlprstylr]

he just made guitars look gay. i need to watch joe bonamassa to bring me back to reality.

[DarkJoker7]

....question...what kinda amp would you use with this

[trogador95]

@DarkJoker7 guitar amp... its only a 5th down

[DarkJoker7]

@trogador95 ahhh ok, i was thinking you'd have to use some sorta Frankenstein Bass/Guitar Amp

[trogador95]

@DarkJoker7 well if you really felt like it you could run it stereo into like a fender bassman, but i dont think thats necessary with this guitar... maybe a 9 string you'd need that

[panuelo87]

@DarkJoker7 100 watters or more.  the rectifier series from mesa boogie and engl for sure.

[Horton094]

1:36

[santuka18]

Jack McFarland from Will & Grace.

Search it, you gonna laugh a lot hahaha :)

[bjaneca]

His playing skills sucks!!! how come they can't hire someone good enough?! this is just noise... Satriani or Michael Amott would be great!

[MorkaGraven]

STOP FUCKING SAYING BARITONE ARGH!

[davidheroX5]

i'm thooper, thankth for asthking

[ten8goa]

The baritone guitar sound is SHIT. Clean i can tolerate but not distorted. I started playing in the early 80s during the era of the killer player. New de-tuned crap is of no comparison to that. Lynch, Demartini,Schon etc cant be touched by todays players.

[DarkJoker7]

@ten8goa trollolololol

[Seandude223]

@ten8goa Warren Demartini was a bad ass. Too bad he was in Ratt...

[yogeesunshine]

Great review

[Dreamside91]

27" doesn't cut it for a baritone, just listen

[elmonorizzo]

they really should record this demos direct into the mixer. the last gain sound is so muddy it turn me down completely

[450kaos450]

I own the tobaco color one they realy are awesome guitars out of the shop. For the price it's awesome. by the way quit bashing on Paul is the best reviewer on YouTube !

[allhailpantera123]

I had to pause this to go to the bathroom, and I paused it just as soon as he had said "And it's a great instrument to have in your arse..." Imagine my surprise.

[quinnmyster]

"Barah! Barah! Barah-tone!!" Annoying..

[Diisafatslag]

Cool beings.

[RickyRoro777]

How does this have almost as many views as the original?

[king666nothing]

@RickyRoro777 Coz I'm awesome.

[RickyRoro777]

@king666nothing Cool beans.

[finalelement42]

@RickyRoro777 all in the title of the video bro

[MrMuddyBleach]

Looks like his hand is going to break lmao.

Good guitar though, kinda muddy at times but good.

[felixq78]

Baritones are good if you don't have or want a bassist. The rhythm guy can play the bass lines underneath while playing chords.

[Nialzzz]

I'll stick to my 8 string

[LoDGeTSoMe]

oh my god look at his head!!!!

[aicfuel]

Thumbs up if you think this guy sucks at playing guitar!

[allah211]

@aicfuel its not that he sucks. its a 27.7 inch scale guitar. which is over 2 inches longer than a fender strat.

that means he cant do anything real special on it because his fingers are pretty short and on a long scaled guitar it makes it nearly impossible to any fun stuff.

[felixq78]

@allah211 Impossible ? Nah you can play whatever you wish irrespective of finger length, all you need is a bit of talent and heaps of determination. I've seen some great baritone players, running complex bass lines underneath some pretty flashy chord arrangements.

He's just keeping it simple for the simpletons.

[beefcake8888]

@aicfuel

shut the fuck up and quit begging for thumbs up.

[James57433]

sounds so nice

[deezswallow]

7 people doesnt understand a baritone guitar

[RockTillYaDrop1000]

I love the sound quality of it. Very nice color too.

[LUXITANE]

why dodn't he play "FUR ELISE" on this guitar?

[qpNinjaCookieqp]

I'm getting this exact guitar for x-mas i'm pumped.

[sonobecube]

what use is a baritone guitar , when you can have a seven string guitar?

[beatnikcafe]

@sonobecube main reason is the scale length is longer making for a different sound, essentially you can use heavier gauge strings with more tension to get the same low B tuning that you might use with a 7 string.

[legendofzelda101]

Best song ever written with this guitar- Circle of Manias by Porcupine Tree.

[samtaclawz1]

A fag tha can shred guitar... >:0

[ibenedict127]

what song is he playing at 1:41?

[BaritonGuitar]

My God, this is a lovely sound, I think it sounds awsome, I NEED one like this! right away!

[BaritonGuitar]

I think it sounds awsome, I NEED one like this! right away!

[BaritonGuitar]

this guitar sounds great with this man! I adore it!

[LWRCftw]

Jasen from Red uses this :)

[svanurmg]

stop this bullshit insult comments....love your videos :)

[Georfrias]

nice sound!

[TheRealErob]

dont really care for staind, but that guitar is awesome and really fun to play. very weel made also

[superstriker00]

You are the biggest dumbass of a guitarist. >.<

[TrippyTro]

that thing sounds fkcing heavy

[ZeeKat]

So this is the guitar Dave Young of Devin Townsend Project is using. Nice, though that grey burst paint is somewhat ugly :>

[101Volts]

I'm going to buy or build a Baritone Guitar sometime. They really are cool instruments, They're just regular guitars with longer necks but that gives more freedom tuning wise. You can use them as guitars, basses and the usual baritone tunings - It just depends on what strings you use.

[thomizz]

i love this first riff. FUCKING LOVE IT. 

[lordjdog]

i'm getting this guitar fucking awesome ^.^

[Aurelius27x]

I recently fell in love with the drop C tuning on my acoustic and wonder if a baritone electric is the way to go as a transition from acoustic to electric in drop C.

[TheBrowndawg]

@Aurelius27x generally baritones are tuned to b (b e a d g b), c wouldnt be too hard if you got thinner baritone strings

[hyuugaamida]

@TheBrowndawg You mean B-E-A-D-F#-B. What would be the G is dropped half a step to maintain the major third between the second and third string.

[TheBrowndawg]

@hyuugaamida yeah i didnt actually know that someone told me they were tuned the same as a normal guitar without the high e and an added low b. thanks man.

[hyuugaamida]

@TheBrowndawg No problem. Just remember that for any "standard" tuning, the intervals between each string stay the same, you just lower or raise each string by an equal amount. You don't even need to know the intervals really as long as you remember that they stay the same, and if you think you made a mistake, just play through some chords that use every string and see how they sound. The chords for E Standard should still sound the same in a down-tuning, just pitched lower.

[TheBrowndawg]

@hyuugaamida thanks man. im not really that clued up on theory (i just bash away till it sounds good) but that makes sense

[BigOlBagOfWhatsNew]

God I hate this guy and how he talks and the lame-ass riffs he plays.

[09phillt]

what do you mean between guitar and bass, i thout bass was an octave lower than a guitar, like this

[IbanezArtist13]

Wow... i'm impressed with how good this guitar sounds

[thegr8HarV]

3:14 - thats probably the most bland wannabe rockstar riffing i've ever heard

[09colebryson]

the tuning is BEADF#b....arguement solved...its two and a half steps down from a standard E guitar.

[335dave]

@09colebryson Yup, two and a half steps down from a standard guitar, which is EADGBE - except when it's not...

[quinnmyster]

"Barratone"

[Mohamed636]

are baritone guitars used for drop D and C, or is it nothing to do with that

[gnomishmachinegun]

A baritone guitar is tuned B E A D F# B, you are all morons

[335dave]

Just to clarify on the tuning issue: a baritone guitar is like a normal guitar but *designed* to be tuned down a 4th (5 semitones), so all guitar tunings *can* be employed, but shifted down a 4th. ie.

Standard -> BEADF#B

Dropped -> AEADF#B

Eb -> Bb Eb Ab Db F Bb

D -> ADGCEA

DADGAD: AEADEA

Open D -> AEAC#EA

Open G -> ADADF#A

Open C -> GDGDGB

[jambi880]

@335dave Okay, so can you put bass strings on it and tune it to E and use it as a bass?

[Greg509]

@335dave Baritone guitars are usually tuned a perfect fifth, a perfect fourth or a major third lower than E Standard.

[superpaco666]

the guy in the vid is gay!

[TheBrowndawg]

@superpaco666 did he set off your gaydar?

[ap23964]

STOP TALKING AND PLAY!

[MrJTMagnum23]

blade/selector switches sucks, toggle switches all the way.

[hockeyrocker33]

Whats the tuning?

[DoomScytheBand]

@hockeyrocker33 B-E-A-D-F#-e

[SiegZeon10959]

gay -*-

[Elgoo911]

3:59 How the hell do you do that? lol

[metallikat01]

anybody know what would be the best type of speakers to use that would pick up the low end the best i know some speakers just cant handle the low crunch that this guitar puts out.

[leveniseendroom]

@metallikat01

Id say vintage 30's would do the trick real well... Theyre the best for heavy music in my opinion

[weathered79]

when did mike start playing prs didn't he play ibanez

[typeonegfr]

What gage of string does a baritone uses please

[barton51]

@typeonegfr mike uses .14-.75 gauge strings

[SGSeries]

Just for the curious, you can put 'any' strings on a baritone, if you didnt want to play in b. I play half a step down with an aes-ad6 baritone with 11-50's. sounds amazing.

[eatsandsleeps]

@SGSeries As long as you have a new nut cut there shouldn't be any reason why you can't use regular guitar strings. The trick may be simply finding longer than average strings.

[Drummerboy554466]

does someone know where i can get the tabs for the first riff he played?

[IpixelatorI]

what songs that hes playing

[BlaQNeenjah]

So would tuning it to C F Bb Eb G C kill it?

[lovejon2death]

ive seen one tuned to standard. some idiot in a guitar shop tuned it up. it is made for lower tunings but it is possible. it is also possible if tuning it up to put a lot of strain on the neck and possibly break the low guage strings. if you have it properly set up and maybe put some lighter guage strings on it, it should play just fine in higher tunings.

[Muze42]

bahritone

[overoath123]

Can this go standard e-e just an octave below an average guitar? or does it have to be in b-b?

[JessyDevilVendetta]

yeah thats what a baritoner is for

[lovejon2death]

it can be tuned down but the strings will be somewhat spaghetti-like. a lot like down tuning a regular guitar.

[Tlarsen289]

is it the same tuning just lower? or does the deepness change the tuning too?

[king666nothing]

@Tlarsen289 "Same tuning but lower" is a different tuning.

[meadebaker]

Same intervals between strings but tuned down to B. That means you play the same chord shapes as on a standard guitar but the chords will be different. So in other words an E chord on a regular guitar becomes a B chord on a baritone.

[zackerz9311]

@king666nothing its not a different tuning. its an octave lower than a regular guitar

[king666nothing]

@zackerz9311 Yes it is different tuning. If it was the same tuning it would sound exactly the same - not an octave lower, not an octave higher. A shift in pitch makes a different note, therefore it makes different tuning.

[Elgoo911]

@king666nothing you're half right. It is technically a different tuning because it is not the same. But in an escence it is the same tuning because it is still EADGBE.

[king666nothing]

@Elgoo911 Well, would it be the same tuning if you lower it one step? No it wouldn't. Then why would it be the same tuning if you lower it one octave? ))))

[Elgoo911]

@king666nothing It's not the same tuning if you tune it down one step because it's an Eb tuning. An octave lower is still an E tuning.

[king666nothing]

@Elgoo911 Dude, you don't get it. Whenever you raise or lower the tuning you're changing the tuning. Doesn't matter by how much you raise or lower it (half-step, octave), it's changed - therefore it's different. I know it's still E, but it's different. Bass E tuning and guitar E tuning are not the same either.

[billysm8]

@king666nothing

your right

[bussela]

@Elgoo911 E is not e is not e' by the way. An e tuning is not an E tuning, because e is an octave higher than E. If you would listen to Britney Spears pitched down an octave you wouldn't say, that it's sounding the same, would you? ;-)

[335dave]

@king666nothing A shift in pitch doesn't necessarily make a different note, because 'pitch' and 'note' are not interchangeable terms. If you tune a string down an octave you get the same note in a different register, which is, as you correctly point out, a different pitch. All of which is academic because a baritone isn't tuned down an octave.

[CommBreakDown]

@king666nothing dude stop being a jackasss and realize, that multiple ppl have told you that your wrong...maybe you should pull your head out of your ass.

[king666nothing]

@CommBreakDown What exactly am I wrong about? Can you clarify?

And by the way, I like my head in my ass (smells nice).

[braddudeguy]

@king666nothing I can, E is an E. You can tune the high E on a guitar with the low E of a bass. It's the same note. I do it all the time. Lowering the octave means nothing, the notes are the same and can be used to tune different octaves of the same notes. Try it, it's not hard. :)

[jvmc08]

@king666nothing question could I just replace my guitar strings and add baritone strings to my guitar or do I have to change pick ups too? 

[king666nothing]

@jvmc08 STOP!!! Do Not Try To Change Strings!!! Your guitar neck might brake if you try to tune baritone strings to their normal tuning. Not all guitars (especially lower price range ones) are able to handle the tension of baritone strings. You might try the lowest baritone gauge - 0.12 - 0.54, but be extremely careful.

[jacksback1021]

@jvmc08 ive got 11. 54. on ym guitar and i tune to e sometime im mostly play in drop b c a#

[felixq78]

@jvmc08 You would need to replace the nut and possibly the bridge/tail piece assembly as the thicker strings wouldn't fit. Pups should be OK though.

[shwag57]

@zackerz9311 I thought they were tuned a perfect fifth lower, not an octave.

[Warchild92]

@Tlarsen289

A baritone guitar is normally tuned in A, B, or C. It sits in about the middle between a standard E tuned guitar and a Bass Guitar

[hiltz171jim]

the tunning is this B-E-A-D-Gb-B ...... but some baritones are also tuned a perfect fifth lower than a standard tuned guitar, which would be A-D-G-C-E-A

Hope this helped

[concussedcarneous]

id buy one but its ugly

[wjelo]

the 'medium gain setting riff' is nice, is it from a song?

[Dorillo76]

i still didn't understand why is called a baritone guitar, I'm brazilian, don't know english enough to know EVERYTHING he is saying in the video, someone could write why is this a baritone guitar?

though is a very very nice guitar

[king666nothing]

@Dorillo76 It uses lower tuning a regular guitar. So it's lower than guitar, but not low enough to be a bass.

[metalcore929]

@king666nothing Many bartitones are actually tuned E-E...the lowest note being the same as the low note on a bass...like the Fender Bass VI or Music Man Silhouette Bass.

The difference comes in the smaller gauge strings and closer string spacing etc.

[ibanezdudeck]

Actually, it's got a longer neck scale (about a 28 inch instead of the usual 24 inch) so it's usually tuned four frets down from a regular guitar. The standard baritone tuning is c standard.

[CasperFuckIN]

@ibanezdudeck Most Ibanez's are 25.5 inches.

[CasperFuckIN]

@Dorillo76 "Baritone" goes for all instruments. Especially classical singers and saxophones.

They are devided into different areas of frequencies. Bass, Baritone, Tenor, Alto, Soprano.

A "bass-guitar" for instance.

[Chamomileable]

@Dorillo76

whereas a standard guitar has a neck scale of somewhere between 24 and 25 inches, a baritone goes from 26 to 29, this longer neck results in an instrument lower than a guitar but not as low as a bass

[ChrisSoldato]

@Dorillo76 Baritone means "low"

Since this guitar is for lower tunings, it's labeled a Baritone Guitar.

[concussedcarneous]

@ChrisSoldato no it doesnt

it means heavy. barutonos, of a deep sound.

[ultrabagon]

this sound matches me perfectly

I must gather some money for it

[UseMeAsAVessl]

Who let this guy escape from whoville? What a douche.

[framayx]

blablablablabla......

Why the hell do most of the American instrument demonstrators talk so much ?

Hey, you guys, is the video for your ego or for the guitar ?

[mugenad]

sexy

[Cu1t06]

maybe someone has tab for that?

[francisb528]

eh....

[EclecticSceptic]

sounds a bit like disintegration by the cure

[iLikechevelle]

@EclecticSceptic That's because Robert Smith recorded a lot of tracks with his Fender Bass VI.

[Keneo619]

Shut up and play, man xD

[EarleBrown]

I have the guitar. It kicks ass. Great action and neck-feel. Really comfortable to play.

[jwandhistools]

Want.

[Ralenissocold]

guitar is nice....great looks and great feel

but pups are complete SHIT...i tried it out and they were terrible....if u get this guitar make sure u change the pups

[renzolikescheez]

a mahogany boding?

[JayRocFly]

can you put a baritone guitar in all the tunes, like G D C etc.?
