Iphone.
So helpful in so many different ways.
I love using the voice memo recorder to record quick and dirty sketches of riffs. And the Note pad to write down lyric idears.
Also a ton of great apps. like the metronome. guitar chord charts and access to thousand of guitar tabs(great for when someone says…. can you play this song?)
Good place to keep guitar backing tracks and drum beats to jam with.

The planet waves pro winder tool
It cuts, stretches strings. Has a bridge puller and has a winder all in one tool – it makes restringing my guitar so easy (also it makes you look like a pro)

Best $25AUS spent ever

This may sound ridiculous, but, I recently bought the Planet Waves stomp pedal tuner (the chromatic one), and I’ve been digging it a lot. I did an “open thread” post in my blog asking folks about tuners when I was looking for one to replace my old Boss, and someone recommended Planet Waves. http://igblog.wordpress.com/2007/05/08/open-thread-what-kind-of-guitar-tuner-do-you-use/
It’s built like a brick, it’s easy to use, and there’s something about it that it gets the guitar in tune right on spot. I don’t know. The rest of my pedals have not been behavin’ good lately. But, the tuner, it’s kicking butt and doing a fine job…

Drayth,
Never heard of ‘em. I’ll have to check them out. I play dunlop Jazz III’s. They are really stiff and small. I love them…

Have you seen the Grip Guitar Pick? They are readily available through musiciansfriend.com. These are ergonomic, contoured guitar picks available in different thicknesses and materials. I never liked playing with a pick, but these have completely revolutionized my playing. I’ve found that after playing with this contoured pick for any period of time and then trying to go back to a flat pick is so un-natural. These really feel GREAT.
