    I've been using Rotosound strings for years and highly recommend them. I in fact have a set of strings on my Les Paul which are over 20 years old. I'd pretty much agree with all the bullet points and say give them a try!
  • A peg winder is a really handy tool to own. It's not as if you'll be using it all the time but when you change or break your strings a peg winder will save a lot of time. Great for guitars, ukuleles etc. It's such a cheap item just get one!
  • This tuner is pretty robust and easy to use. It has the added bonus of being able to tune chromatically or for specific instruments – I use guitar, bass and ukulele (C and D) but it also does violin. I changed the battery in mine after about 6 months – typically these type of gadgets benefit from having a quality battery.

    Fast Fret is a good lubricant for your strings – better than a spray I'd say – less messy. It helps your fingers glide over the strings too. I've been maintaining my strings using Fast Fret for years and it works for me – I have strings over 20 years old which still deliver excellent tone thanks in part to good maintenance. Every guitarist should have a tin!
  • These Nordell Audio cables are the ones I use and I'm happy with them. They have a nice vintage vibe and perform well too. There's a range of colours so you can get matching colours which can be easily identified. I go for the 3m length but you can get 5m or 10m too depending on your preference.

    When it comes to picks I've tried so many different ones – thick, thin, rough, smooth, triangular, round etc etc. So when I say that I recommend Herco you can be sure I have many I can compare it against. The Herco Flex 50 is certainly my favourite – it's easy to grip and it's just the right thickness for me. Give them a try!
  • Snark Supertight HZ tuner Snark Supertight HZ tuner
    A very nice tuner and useful metronome. I'd seen these tuners were good quality since a lot of our ukulele players had them. I've got one for Christmas and I'm very happy with it. The quality is good and the tuning accurate. The metronome is a useful addition but not an essential feature.

    The DigiTech FS3X Foot Controller is useful when used with my DigiTech TRIO Plus. You get much more control with a footswitch when practicing or playing live. It's not expensive, so just buy it – you won't regret it!
  • leather padded guitar strap leather padded guitar strap
    These are really good straps. I was given a black one as a birthday present and as soon as I held it you could tell the quality was good. Even better when I put it on my Ovation Balladeer acoustic guitar, it's really comfortable with the padding. These guitar straps are perfect for acoustic and electric guitars, bass guitars, semi-acoustic guitars etc.
  • An tablet music stand is an essential item if you want to use an iPad, Galaxy tablet or similar. It give a good stable place to present your iPad to read music. Another good accessory to add to this if you are using it with a ukulele would be the ukulele clamp hanger.
  • How much? I hear you scream! This strap is the only one you'll need if you play a Les Paul or similar heavy guitar. It's seriously comfortable, well made and makes your Les Paul much more manageable. So treat yourself or get it as a present (I did!). I highly recommend this strap.
  • I use this Ditto looper mainly at home for practicing. You can have a lot of fun with 5 minutes of looping time and unlimited overdubs. With the Ditto Looper X2 you can play loops in reverse, half-speed or both at the same time. You can use it live too with a bit of practice. If you are looking for a looper then this is the one in my opinion. There is a cheaper model available if it's not in your budget.
