@samuelmichaud

Thanks Sam, check out some cool stuff by guys like Andy Mckee, Keller Williams etc, very interesting alt tunings

[ob1ob123]

that's a cool tune youre doing,i,m thinking of getting a baritone 6th string

[disasterpiecemusic]

@ob1ob123

DO IT! You could even just get a neck from Warmoth and retrofit an old guitar

[juhopekkaolavi]

@disasterpiecemusic

That would not be really smart. The string tension in baritone guitar is about 105kg and in a normal e-tuned guitar about 70kg. So a baritone neck and strings can damage a guitar that is built for shorter scale neck and lighter strings.

I didn't know Travis Bickle played guitar! You talkin' to me??

@Pickininvt

[disasterpiecemusic]

HI guys - to answer a few questions... this is in the following tuning: L - H

G-D-A-D-G-A

the gauge of strings are

.070 .060 .048 .029 .022 .016

and are commercially available from D'addario as 'EXP Coated Baritone Acoustic' set EXP23

I also Run La Bella's from time to as heavy as .080 on the bottom tuned to F# - but for now its set up typically for me to play in this tuning

B-E-A-D-f#-B

[kennyvanwassenhove]

cool stuff man...

[zenfreestyler]

Kind of minimalistic man I like it, and of course it sounds amazing of Baritone, 5/5 Peace.

Hello, just curious what guage strings and brand you're composing with. BTW what's your opinion on the Tacoma Baritone and can you please indicate what tuning you have it set to?

[oIIJOSHIIoNe]

[disasterpiecemusic]
