Capo at 7th fret, which won't leave much left for playing. or restring with a strang combonation of different strings (i'll update when i figure it out) or get a baritone guitar.

You might as well just not try and buy a baritone...or play songs in standard tuning...From what I can tell, it's to high to tune up, and to low to tune down... :cry:

Don't eat at Taco Bell even if you do have money. Has to be the worst disgrace to Mexican food in the history of the world.

I've never had Taco Bell. I've also never played a Baritone, but I did tune my guitar down to B tuning one time and fooled around for a day or so. but then I tuned it back up and never went back........hmmmm I think I'll tune it down now. :) some say its bad for the guitar but I think that's bullshit.

peace,
Ken
good, and you?

I've got a Squier SubSonic, it's pretty sweet, but different...

so I tuned my guitar down to B tuning and I'm like: "hey dad listen, its in low B tuning" and I played a G chord (actually a D) and he said "yeah it sounds awful" :lol: and he was right!! wow, no matter what I did to try to fuckin' get it in tune, something just wouldn't allow it. It's back in standard now. I might buy a baritone some day.
good, and you?
