RE: My 2018 - This is my Hobby: Guitar and Songwriting

Great post! I wonder if baritone guitars can be tuned like common gutars, without the F# string which I can't imagine how to deal with. I played gutars so long ago. Anyway, thanks for a very detailed description of the instrument. That probably explains why some guitar recordings don't sound real to me. They're so rich and full sounding.

Sort:  

F# is just five tones down from B; it's exactly like standard guitar tuning, only lower. In the same way that every string on your standard guitar is five tones higher than the last except for that B string, that's where the F# falls in, and why I have it instead of G. Otherwise I'd have to learn all-new fingerings.
