Guitar Accessories

  • Pick holder – Dunlop Scotty not Ergo (front should be flat and matte not round and glossy looking. From experience I know the quality difference) 

  • Picks

Celluloid mediums are my favorite type, but sometimes I like a thin. Heavy (thicker) picks are available as well.



  • Tuner

Snark is very reliable and accurate, but there are plenty of other good tuners, just check the reviews. You can even get a free or cheap app.


  • Music Stand

Something with a solid back is preferred.


  • Guitar Stand

This is called a tubular guitar stand. It is reliable and can be used for any type of guitar.
