Baritone Guitar Vs. Standard Guitar – Why You Need a Baritone Acoustic Guitar
I’ve been playing a baritone guitar for years now and wanted to talk about the distinct differences between standard guitar and baritone, and why they matter. I use baritone acoustic guitar heavily in my fingerstyle playing and it’s become an important part of how I write instrumental guitar music. What are the differences between baritone guitar and a regular guitar? How do these instruments differ in construction? Let’s figure it out.

Class playing man!
Looking for a new acoustic I came across a Lakewood m31cp baritone in a store and played it for funs. I couldn't believe how much I liked experimenting with it! It wouldn't replace a normal guitar for me but it'd be a lovely addition and I would like a furch yellow BarC. Furchs are outstanding guitars and I think their clear sound would suit a baritone well.
Thank you buddy. Where can I find some of your Music?! Sounds great man. Way to be thorough.
what guitar do you play in the video?
its like right in between a guitar and a bajo quinto
I was considering trying to make a Flamenco Baritone guitar in a Spanish guitar making class in Malaga. Flamenco guitars are known for their lowered bridge and closer action than, say, a standard classical guitar. I was just wondering with the lower and more lively bass strings, do you think it is possible to make a flamenco style guitar using flamenco guitar materials and still come up with a guitar with low action and tones that are colorful and full ( and without excessive buzzing)? Thanks in advance…i hope this question is not too vague.
Thanks. Can't believe I didn't know these existed.
Sum greatest finger picki g …so clean srisp !!!!!????????????
Thanks for this. All the songs I wrote in, say, Em, now want a Bm or thereabouts because my voice strained at tenor but sounds rich in a lower key. I've been using open C tuning a lot, on standard (Guild) guitars. But pulling it lower than C, the guitar is a little slack. Heavy Thomastik-Infeld strings help a bit. But I'm wondering why I didn't go out and just get a baritone guitar before this.
Very succinct and to the point. Thank you
I always though if you had a standard 6 string and a 12 string that was pretty much it for acoustic until I learned about resinators and now Baritone guitars I had heard the phrase use but this video was awesome to clarify the difference. What roll does a baritone guitar generally fill in a musical setting are they more commonly used for rhythm or fingerstyle? (I would guiess rhythm but am not sure)
Hi!
Which furch would you recommend for a really warm and mellow tone? I'm looking for a guitar to play fingerstyle, but also to work on my project with lyrics (a little bit), but mostly for fingerstyle.
Thanks 🙂
I would say the biggest challenge to own a Baritone guitar is the strings less choice of coated strings in .016 in the market, may I know what strings are you using?
I tried playing one once and found it very difficult
As a bass, I can easily sing an octave lower for most popular songs. However, my poor baritone friends can’t do that. The baritone guitar is a wonderful thing.
Which brand do you use for baritone?
Strings gauge the same? Tuning down makes it easier to fret.
thank you for the information, i was wandering about the harp guitar that you have, where did you get it ?
Interesting that the late great iconic Pete Seeger play an 12 string baritone acoustic guitar for more the 65 years. There are videos on YouTube of him doing so. Beautiful.
Great video! Very informative! I absolutely love my baritone.
Love Baritone Acoustics. Great Video and Great Playing Sir!
