A good capo lets guitar players quickly change keys without changing the chord shapes they’re playing. This is something else that should be in every guitar case. This Kyser capo is the best bang-for-your-buck capo out there.

No matter how many picks a player buys, it seems like on many occasions they find themselves without a pick. This innovation gives them the power to cut any plastic material into picks. From experience, credit cards and plastic lids work the best.

Levy’s Leathers Polyester Guitar Strap with Hot Rod Seat Belt

This tuner automatically tunes your guitar, by attaching it to the peg and simply strumming the string. A must have for guitarists constantly having to tune in loud places.
