GUITAR ESSENTIALS
GEAR EVERY GUITARIST SHOULD HAVE
CAPO – G7TH
An essential guitar accessory for any player, the capo can be used in many ways but it’s main uses are to provide easier playing postions/chord shapes for players, as well as a tool for changing the key of songs for singers. G7th’s Capos are head and shoulders above any other capo out there. You get what you pay for!
TUNER – KORG PITCHCLIP
I never go anywhere without my Korg pitchclip tuner, this thing is excellent and does not require any leads or microphones. The Korg pitchclip analyzes the pitch of the string using the vibration of the guitar which makes it an excellent, portable and hassle free tuner.
STRINGS – ELIXER
I never put anything other than these strings on my acoustic. Elixirs are made with anti-rust steels which provide excellent tone for longer. These strings will last and provide great tone over their life cycle. A must for acoustic guitars.
PICKS – GROVER ALLMAN JAZZ XL
My personal pick preference and also used by many professional and famous artists such as Rihanna, AC/DC, Prince, Jimmy Barnes, Alice Cooper, Miley Cyrus, You Am I, The Delta Riggs, Kevin Bloody Wilson, 5SOS, Paul Dempsey, Tonight Alive, Parkway Drive & More! Grover Allman can print anything you want on the picks too! Jazz Xl Delrinex is my favourite combo!
