You got it spot on, man! Not many people have fleshed out the sound and as accurate of a breakdown of what he’s doing.

[@MV_MarkusVollmer]

Thanks 🙏🏻

[@alantracy6757]

So he used a low tuned baritone, a tone below the usual BEADF#B baritone tuning. Baritone is usually a 4th below standard tuning. He is tuned ADGCEA then he adds a capo on 3 = C F Bb Eb G C. Then he plays A shapes but it sounds in the key of F (not the usual key of G for a baritone when you use A shapes - as its tuned a tone low)
So yes he could have just tuned to C F Bb Eb G C and not used a capo at all ! But then the strings aren’t so slack. Enjoy

we love the baritone guitar

it'll be so awesome if you do a lesson about your fingerstyle style, like how you pick with your fingers, looks so fluid

[@MV_MarkusVollmer]

Hey Michael, thank you so much! Why not, I will think about it!

@@MV_MarkusVollmer the chords in the start are simply beautiful

[@user-hc4hk5bs8l]

Great video. You only missed the fact that he also was using a GK3 pickup (red light on his guitar) going into a roland synth during the live Kimmel performance.

[@MV_MarkusVollmer]

Ok thats interesting, thank you!

[@Luke-lp4io]

@@MV_MarkusVollmer More specfically he uses the GK3 pickup into a Roland VG8 with the bowed pad preset

Ist die Gitarre, die du spielst eine Bariton, oder hast du einfach dickere Saiten drauf und runtergetuned? :)

[@MV_MarkusVollmer]

Hi, das ist eine Standard Bariton mit Bariton Saiten. Suche Danelectro 56 Baritone BMF

[@MV_MarkusVollmer]

Chicago - Hard Habit To Break ua-cam.com/video/_aCAZNcTVeo/v-deo.html

[@yewmiii]

i think there's definitely a vocoder in there, the tone you've presented sounds a bit dry compared to the track. listening to the rest of the album definitely gives a hint there's some vocoding going on with the guitar. fantastic video though!

[@montaex.893]

You said Bon Iver, Blake Mills, and R cuter? Sorry how do you spell that last one? Having trouble finding it.

[@MV_MarkusVollmer]

I mean Ry Cooder , but that‘s my opinion, I think there are some similarities

[@KyleByquist]

I've heard that he uses a 7-string set and ditches the top string, using the lowest 6, since the guitar is a normal scale length (not baritone)

[@incoopnito]

Is there a set you would recommend or direction to look in for similar stringing on my standard length guitar?

[@MV_MarkusVollmer]

@incoopnito I had Baritone strings on my guitar for a while because I played open tuning in C. Works good but you have to prepare the nut on the headstock because those strings are much bigger. When you tune down your guitar to C or lower you need a 13 or a 14 set, check DAddario strings, they have everything.

[@stevespringer9184]

What is the exact tuning of each string Prior to placing capo?

[@MV_MarkusVollmer]

C F Bb Eb G C from low to high

[@alantracy6757]

“Prior to placing the capo” ie Without the capo - the tuning has to be ADGCEA

[@pickupcrap]

I really hurt myself playing the b-part while following the tab (1st bar at asus2/c#) ;-)
spaß beiseite danke für den breakdown!

What is the tunning? Thanks!
