This is awesome stuff Todd. Very simple, but gets to the soul of the instrument. Thanks for some more great baritone ukulele playing. The slides, hammer-ons, Pull-offs and some quickly played 1/16th notes add a nice folksy flavor. I could see you sitting on a porch along with LewDite having a great time.
I would like to build my skills in this area and have been working with Lil' Rev's Hal Leonard book 2 which works on these skills in a variety of old tunes. Lil' Rev has told me that he has another Hal Leonard book on it's way soon, called 101 Licks for the Ukulele.

I have also plinked around on Ken Middleton's Bluegrass arrangements. They are high quality and he has videos of each song being played. A google search will get you there or type "Ken Middleton" in my blog search box. Ken also has e-books for sale (not specifically baritone)

I also see that FleaMarketMusic has a new bluegrass book out and I will surely get a copy. All of Fred Sokolow's work has been fantastic. (also not specifically baritone)
