blue chip picks
Investing in good equipment not only makes you sound better but play better too. Just in the same a good quality guitar or speaker cable can improve your tone, so too can a good pick. Even better if string contact is so smooth it feels effortless!

Dynarette guitar support cushion
Sitting down to play the guitar over long periods of time can be quite fatiguing. Some players sit with the guitar on the left thigh, turning the lower torso a little to the left (not great).

Providence Chrono Delay
Although they have been manufacturing pro spec cables for many years, Japanese based company Providence have more recently become a hugely respected brand for high quality effect pedals and routers. From effects like the Stampede Overdrive SOV-2 through to the PEC-2 routing system, the discerning guitarist has had much to drool over! And as they continue forwards they bring new concepts to the market.
