The commercially available baritone guitar has woven its way through nearly seven decades of music, adding resonance and low-end to a lot of great tracks over the years. Here is part one of our BaritoneGuitar.org list of essential baritone tracks.
Songs listed are not considered essential because they represent the high water mark for a particular genre or generation of baritone players. Songs have been selected because they typify a particular genre or common use of the baritone guitar.

Thomas Leeb is a great artist who has incorporated baritone guitar into his work. Check out the following article for some thoughts on playing and recording with a baritone acoustic. I have also included a great (but slightly dizzying) video of Thomas playing a baritone cover of comfortably numb. Check it out below...
Nashville tuning may not be something you typically associate with the baritone guitar. However, in this video, virtuoso Pat Metheny beautifully demonstrates what his half Nashville alternative tuning can offer to baritone players.
You could spend a lifetime trying to copy Pat's musical stylings. Fortunately, emulating this tuning takes minutes.
