Music Stands:
- Colapsable stand (cheapest, but a bit flimsy)
- Sturdy, solid back stand (the one I’ve seen around the most, but not very compact)
- Sturdy, solid back, easy to use high quality stand (therefore more expensive)
Strings:
Here are some strings I recommend and feel free to buy a multi-pack as you will need them and that way it works out cheaper.
- Great Nylon Strings, “Normal” Tension should work for everyone, including 3/4 sized guitars.
- These are the Nylon Guitar Strings I prefer using – just for the colour (feel free to judge
) - Steel Acoustic Guitar Strings – this brand lasts for longer, so you would need to change them less regularly.
- Steel Acoustic Guitar Strings – these are a cheaper option.
For electric guitar, it depends highly on the scale length you’re using, but here is a link to ones that will work fine on any guitar, but are perfect for longer scale lengths.
- Electric Guitar Strings – this brand is long lasting and the one I use.
- Electric Guitar Strings – cheaper ones that work fine, but will wear out times faster.
Guitar “Accessories”:
- Capo
- Foot stool (but you can also use a pile of books to support your foot)
- Music Theory Book
- Music Theory Book by Steve Vai (perfect for guitarists!)
- Peg Winder – cruicial for changing strings
Backing Tracks:
You can find a lot of good guitar backing on YouTube. Just type your song name + guitar backing track. YouTube is also the best place to find backing tracks to practice your improvisation. If you want to practice your C scale and your improvising over it, just type “backing track in c” and you’ll find tracks of all genres to experiment with.
