Guitar Gear You Need - Guitar Stand
You know the old saying “out of sight, out of mind”, right? Well, don’t let this apply when it comes to your guitar. Keep your guitar out of the case and in plain view with either a guitar stand or a guitar wall hangar. You should find you get in more practice time by simply having your instrument within arm’s reach. A stand is also an inexpensive insurance policy from the costly damage that inevitably follows from leaning your instrument against a wall or amplifier. Besides, a beautiful guitar complements any room’s decor!

Tip Of The Day - The Speed/Accuracy Equation
Jazz guitar legend and teacher, Howard Roberts, gave one of my all-time favorite quotes when it comes to guitar technique:
“Speed is a by-product of Accuracy”.
If one rushes to play a lick, melody or song before learning how it physically should feel when played well, the parts will never sound fast or clean. Coordinate each finger and pick-stroke slowly and accurately before you concern yourself with playing it faster. This is one of the ‘universal constants’ of playing the guitar well!

Tip Of The Day - Practice Without Distraction
You will practice more efficiently and get more done if you keep your practice sessions distraction-free. This means no telephone calls, no visitors, and no television.
Find set times to make this happen by communicating with family and friends. Most will respect your space and you will get an invigorated commitment to your guitar practice.

Tip of the Day - Consistent Practicing
Practicing is key to becoming a better guitarist, obviously. But all practice time is not equal.
In my experience, practicing consistently 15-20 minutes a day makes for quicker progress than practicing for 90-120 minutes one day and not touching the guitar the rest of the week. Practicing consistently 90-120 minutes (or more) a day? Even better.
