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.
