Accessory #1 – Clip-On Tuner<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

The number one rule of playing the guitar is making sure you\u2019re in tune. A clip-on tuner is an affordable and convenient way to make sure your chords and scales sound right. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Accessory #3 – String Winder<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Accessory #4 – Polishing Cloth<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

You want to keep your beloved instrument looking its best, right? A polish cloth (and some guitar polish) is a simple and effective tool for keeping your guitar free from dust and grime.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n
\n

Our Recommendation<\/strong>
D\u2019Addario Instrument Care Essentials<\/em> ($17.99)

Accessory #5 – Guitar Stand<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Keeping your guitar hidden away in its case means you\u2019re far less likely to pick it up and play it. A good stand allows you to keep it out in the open and safe from falling at the same time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

Our Recommendation<\/strong>
On-Stage XCG-4 Classic Guitar Stand<\/em> ($17.95)
