Play baritone?

Anyone else play baritone?

I'm in a band and taught the singer/guitar strummer to play basic bass and she got pretty good in a year and a half and now I'm out of a job as a bassist so I ended up being the lead guitar player.

I borrowed a baritone guitar and I love it to the point that about 40 percent of the time I play baritone on the group's songs now.

It really is the middle ground between bass and guitar and as we now have a solid rhythm guitarist in the band I'm playing more and more baritone.

I tune mine to "B" and play lines, sometimes doubling the bass, playing fills or even just strumming rhythm on one string and playing solos in the mid-range.

It's a different world.

Sometimes I play baritone lines on my basses, usually on short-scale six-string basses but sometimes on one of my long-scale four-strings. It is a different world, and a really fun one!
