13. PocketStrings
Portable Practice
Tool
One of the most ingenious products on this list, the
PocketStrings portable practice tool features is an ideal
accessory for beginners and experts alike. Featuring
real strings and real frets, players can use it to practice
scales and chords in any situation where volume isn’t
an option.
PocketStrings comes in two sizes—six-fret and fourfret models—and is available for just under $30 and
$25, respectively.
Load it with any set of strings you want and use it in the
car, at the office, on a plane or while the baby sleeps
to build callouses and/or finger speed in silence. Then
slip it in your pocket and go. It’s that easy.

14. Stagg GIST-300
Stool/Stand
Whether you’re playing at home or packing up the guitar
and taking it to a gig or jam session, a stand is about as
close to essential as you’ll find. So how about one that’s
attached to a place to sit?
Yup, sounds like a winner.
The GIST-300 from Stagg is a combo stool and guitar stand
that can be found at a few online retailers for around $70.
It’s sturdy enough to support 250 pounds—so it’ll hold
you and your guitar securely. Plus, at more than 25 inches
tall with built-in foot bars and a 14-inch vinyl seat, it’s a
pretty comfortable spot to sit and play, too.
