Looking on the offer a variety of gadgets, which will have come in handy for guitarist, seems that the times when to play the guitar just enough to have guitar is over.
Manufacturers try to outdo each other in inventing different things to help us play on our instrument or take care of it. Some of these items are really useful, but other we use two or three times after purchase and then occupy place in a drawer.
Here are a few gadgets that have recently hit my eyes. Some of them I already have. Some I think are funny, but I personally don’t need it. On some, I seriously wonder if do not buy them soon.
Judge for yourself what from this list would be useful for you.
1. Pick Holder
Dunlop Ergo Pickholder as you would imagine is really handy. When you buy a pick holder, you expect it to hold picks. That’s what it does. This little gadget holds about 6 picks. Definitely a must have for any guitar player, it keeps you from seeing picks lying around all over the place or losing your favorite one. The sticky part on the back works great. It sticks well and doesn’t leave a lot of goo stuff. For the money (very little) this holder is a great investment. More info click here…

3. Mini Guitar Chord Stamp
This stamp makes it easy to show a chord. Nice size for filling in tabs. Easy to use and makes chord transcription a breeze. It is too small to identify which finger to use on each ‘dot’. It’s really great as a teaching tool. When you writing out songs for a band you can just use regular music paper and then stamp the chords above the rest of the notation and you have got a chart with guitar chords. More info click here…
4. Planet Waves Pro Winder
The Planet Waves string winder is larger and more comfortable to hold that any of the ‘cheap’ winders you buy at music stores. The winder part has smooth motion and the cutter snips cleanly through the strings and gets pretty close to the peg head. The bottom of pin puller is very thin so that it slides under the pin very easily. You just shove it under the peg, and the peg seems to pop out by itself. More info click here…
