flatbaroque Posted April 21, 2018 Share Posted April 21, 2018 I've been having fun on a baritone uke. They are tuned the same as the four high strings on a guitar. DGBE. So chord shapes are the same with some adjustments for missing bass strings.I like ordinary ukes which are tuned like a guitar on capo 5 but these baritones are like small parlor guitars with nylon stings. A really complementary instrument for guitar players looking for a bit of variety.Or for those with a bit of arthritis in the fretting hand.Anyway...apologies for non gibson...non guitar. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rl2AJWlfCnQ&feature=youtu.beh?v=rl2AJWlfCnQ&feature=youtu.be Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
j45nick Posted April 21, 2018 Share Posted April 21, 2018 That's a good song, and a really good cover. Love everything about it, including your hat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SirNed Posted April 21, 2018 Share Posted April 21, 2018 Nice work FB! If you want to stick with four strings, have you tried a tenor guitar? For example, a TG-1 (now it's guitar and Gibson related ☺) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flatbaroque Posted April 21, 2018 Author Share Posted April 21, 2018 Cheers Nick.Bought the hat today.$25 pure wool.Will be good to wear to work in winter.And a must for the gent with approaching male pattern baldness! Thanks SirNed. Didn't know Gibson did a tenor guitar.I guess I could play one after my 2 weeks on baritone uke. My Hal Leonard Baritone Uke chord book arrived from Amazon today.Good to learn new stuff...as long as it's not too hard Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boyd Posted April 21, 2018 Share Posted April 21, 2018 I first learned to play on a baritone uke when I was about 12 years old. It was a cheap all-plastic POS that my father found at the Goodwill store but it was enough to get me started. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Has the same body as a LGO, but a thin neck about the size of a tenor banjo. Interesting guitar. QM aka Jazzman Jeff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
