Cool Picks

The Best Pick Ever!

I have tried a LOT of different picks and this is by far my favorite. Made with acetyl polymer, not nylon. I get a rich tone when strumming, and it gives me the bite I need when I dig in on single-string notes.  I also love the sand-textured Accu-Grip that allows me to hang on to it, even with sweaty fingers! Although it comes in different thicknesses, this one is 1.00mm thick. You get 8 picks to a pack.

Martin MA540 Phospher Bronze Light Gauge Strings

love these strings!

I have tried a number of different strings for my guitar and I always come back to these.  These are Authentic Martin Acoustic SP phosphor bronze (NOT 80/20) light gauge strings. Excellent tuning stability, corrosion resistance, and great playability. A consistent true tone that I can count on song after song. Light gauge: .012 .016 .025 .032 .042 .054

Snark SN1X Guitar Tuner

Small & Accurate!

Of all the Guitar Tuners available, this is the exact one I use.  It is small enough to fit inside my guitar case, and it’s VERY accurate. It has a multi-colored bright dial making it easy to read – red when I’m flat, green when I’m sharp, and blue when I’m right on pitch. I use it to check my tuning before each set. It has pitch calibration and a metronome (which I don’t use), and I can rotate it to point directly toward me. Although you can get it as a rechargeable, I prefer the battery version and carry an extra battery in my guitar case.  I’d hate to have no juice right before the gig. *Click on the link below:
