Gear

I mentioned some of this stuff in the book, here is a rundown of the gear/accessories that I like:

Best Capo in the Universe – Kyser Quick-Change Capo 6-String Gold

I strongly suggest anyone who is new to the guitar (especially kids) pick up a capo. I love this Kyser kind because it’s super easy to get on and off of the neck of the guitar. I have a bunch (and they come in multiple colors if you prefer something other than gold). Capos are especially awesome for kids because they can help smaller fingers get used to fretting notes and chords.

Best Guitar Tuner – Snark Clip-On Chromatic All Instrument Tuner (Red)

It is durable, easy to read, easy to use, and bright red (so it’s not easy to lose). I also recommend getting a tuner app for your phone (the app has definitely helped me in a a pinch), but these clip-on snark tuner has been awesome.

The Best Acoustic Guitar Strings in the Universe – Elixir Light Polyweb Acoustic Guitar Strings

I’ve been playing with these guitar strings for as long as I’ve been playing the guitar. There is a reason for that. These strings are super easy on the fingers. Do your fingers hurt when you play the guitar? These little babies will ease your finger pain (if only a bit). They have a coating on them that is easy on the fingers, cuts down on the screechy sound, and has a nice mellow tone. Get them. They’re awesome.

Guitar Stand

If you’re not doing a lot of traveling and you don’t own a super-expensive guitar that requires some humidity control, I don’t really think you need a guitar case. I prefer leaving the guitar out in the open where I’ll actually remember to pick it up and play or practice. Rather than leaning it up against a wall, I’d suggest a nice little guitar stand. I have at least one per guitar (or I use a guitar wall mount like this). Either way, keep those guitars out and ready to play.
