Craig, that was a great tone on the baritone guitar and the song doesn't sound like it's "in the works"...it sounded finished and great. I can't wait to hear the final version. Ray

That was some nice pickin' Craig! I'm from Oklahoma. Kin-folks tell me I am distantly related to Will Rogers who said he "was born ingert and been loosin' ground ever since"! I can relate to that! So tell me, someone who don't get out much, what is the difference between a baritone guitar and a regular ol' guitar? Sounds the same to me. But, I just might be on the "ignert" side of the creek! Play another one, I dare ya!!! Thanks, Steve

Admire your playing, Craig, and the guitar there is something else. I've never seen or heard a baritone guitar before. Fascinating.

Thanks everyone. The C Melody is tuned C to C, rather than E to E. Same as standard, just lower. 29.5" scale and big strings.

Craig, That is a nice tune you are working on and the guitar has very pleasing 'Chet' sound. I like the tremelo effect. What amp were you playing it through?

It's a little Fender Mustang modeling amp I borrowed from a music store to make the video. I wanted something with tremolo, and a little "grind." Street price is about $99.
