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! -

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! -
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. -

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! -
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. -
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! -
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. -
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. -

As a guitarist I enjoy playing along to backing tracks but that is limited to what's available so the Digitech Trio answers that by enabling you to create your own backing with bass and drums. This one also has a looper so you can really get creative. Just play your backing chords, choose your genre/style and the machine does the rest! Headphones compatible! I would recommend buying the Digitech FS3X Foot Controller to control it. -

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! -

As you collect more and more songs an iPad is a useful piece of tech to store your songs on. You can download PDF songbooks and search for them easily. An iPad holder will enable you to fix the iPad to your music stand. Never forget your music again! -
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.
Thanks for dropping in!
