Baritone guitar advice needed

[lownote]

Anyone got any advice on where to fit a baritone guitar into the mix at a blues jam?  I just bought one and I'm a bit stumped what to do with it.

Tuned BEADF#B, it's like a regular guitar but a fourth down.

So I could play rhythm if I can remember guitar chord shapes I last played 50 years ago. And transpose the chords, so for a B concert sound I need to finger an E chord, and so on. 

Or I could play guitar lead, which I've never done before, but the very basics seem to be simple enough according to beginner videos I have watched.

Or I could effectively play six string bass but an octave up, at least on the bottom four strings anyway.  And six string bass I have recent experience of. 

Or all three of the above.

Thoughts or experience would be appreciated.     

 

EDIT:  Sorry, I just seen there's a bari strand.  Perhaps if some kind mod could move my post over?
