On what songs do JP use his baritone guitars?

These Walls, Panic Attack, Wither(?), and Blind Faith, I think.
Only King could mis-spell a LETTER.
Yep. I think the only party in the MP/DT situation that hasn't moved on is DTF.

Its longer scale length allows them to be tuned to a lower range.

He definitely used it on Wither.

The first note of the song is a low Bb.

I'm thinking of getting a baritone 7 string. Cmaj open with low G baby! :2metal:

I found that G-D-A-D-G-B-E is a lot easier to use, since only 2 strings are tuned differently. It's basically drop-d and drop-g all at once.

It gives the guitarist a very low range while still letting them use the higher range for soloing. I've played one once and it's pretty awkward but I can see why a guy like JP would like it.

I actually prefer baritones in standard tuning instead of regular scale guitars. I don't know why, since I don't have big hands or long arms. My main guitar is a 27' 7-string baritone.

Naw, I keep it in standard 7-string tuning, but I've managed to tune down an octave before. I was amazed at how tight and clear it sounded.
