Baritone Guitar Tuning

Tunings	Danelectro Baritone Guitar	String Gauges
Tuned 1/5th below standard guitar tuning. Starting low to high, (B-E-A-D-F#-B)		Low End B - .056 E - .046 A - .036 D - .024 F# - .017 B - .013 High End
Alternate Tunings: A tuning (low to high, A-D-G-B-E-A). This is a little lower tuning. You would probably like a little heavier strings if you use this tuning. You'll get a rubber band feel and sound with light gauge strings.

Note: The standard guitar is tuned five semitones higher than the baritone, but the relative tuning of the strings remains the same. That is, if you put a clamp (capo) on the fifth fret of the baritone, the tuning would be E A D G B E. Here's a table to help you remember how to change chord positions:

Standard

So if you fingered what would be a standard guitar F chord on a baritone guitar, it would in fact be a C chord. See above.
