2. Guitar Tuners


To sound great your Instrument should be in perfect tune. Tuning your guitar must be the first thing you should do when you pick up a guitar. It doesn't matter if you are a better player than Steve Vai, you will not be able to achieve your sound if you Axe is not in tune. not only does it help you tune up your own instrument, but it also ensures you're in tune with the rest of the band, too. Nowadays, there are a huge range available, from pedals to clip-on headstock tuners, handhelds and, increasingly, free and paid-for guitar tuner apps for your phone or tablet. 
But it is a good thing to have a separate Tuner for just the purpose.

3. Guitar picks


We know it's obvious, but it is an essential tool that every guitarist needs! For all Electric and acoustic guitar players, guitar picks are very important. Classical players can get away with their fingers, but there are some classical players who use Plectrum for more technical playing. There have been many innovations in the design of the guitar pick. Most of these were born out of the issue of guitar picks slipping and flying out of the hand of the player. In 1896, a Cincinnati man (Frederick Wahl) affixed two rubber disks to either side of a mandolin pick, which made it the first popular solution to the problem. Over the next two decades, more innovations were made, such as corrugating the rounded surface of the pick or drilling a hole through the center to fit the pad of a player's thumb. Guitar picks are made up of many different materials like- Celluloid, Nylon, Acetal, Ultem, Lexan, acrylic, Carbon Fiber, metal, bone, wood, glass and more. 
Picks are made in different shapes also. Some picks have small protrusions to make them easier to keep hold if the fingers start to sweat, which is very common on stage due to the hot lights. Some picks have a high-friction coating to help the player hold on to them. some shapes you might be familiar with are Equilateral pick, Sharkfin pick, and Sharp-edged pick.
We have a very special treat for all the Steve Vai fans out there!
