The Gear I Use

Korg KDM-2 Metronome

Hands down the best metronome I have ever owned. It is solid, loud, and has every feature I need.

D’Addario Clip-On Tuner

Clips onto the headstock so I can leave it on all the time. Nice and discreet, it just runs out of batteries now and then.

String Winder

A little gadget that saves a lot of time when you are changing strings.

PageFlip Firefly Pedal

The magical little pedal I use to turn pages on my iPad, so I can keep my hands on the guitar while practising or performing. Light, and it has yet to disappoint.

ErgoPlay Tappert Support

I use this about eighty percent of the time and I love it. It is great for my back and attaches securely to the guitar.

Guitar Footstool

For the times I am not using the ErgoPlay, I just use a footstool. Always good to have one or two around.

D’Addario Strings

The new Dynacore strings are great. I also use the standard J46 strings when I am not performing.

Micro-Mesh Buffing Pads

These were hard to find for a while, they are actually used for polishing scientific equipment. They never seem to wear out, and the best way to improve your sound is to take care of your nail surface.

Canon 6D

One of the two camera bodies I use to film my videos.

Canon T5i

My second camera body for filming lessons and performances.

Canon 24-70mm f/2.8

My go-to standard zoom lens for filming.

Canon 70-200mm f/2.8

My telephoto lens for closer, compressed shots.

Garrett Lee

A concert guitar by the American luthier Garrett Lee. It has a 644mm scale and a double-top construction of spruce and cedar.

Luthier-built

Paul Sheridan

A concert guitar by the Australian luthier Paul Sheridan. It is lattice braced with a cedar top and a 640mm scale length.

Luthier-built

Visesnut Case

The exact guitar case I use to protect my Sheridan.

Accessory

Drew Henderson

An outstanding guitarist with a real flair for teaching and videography.

This is Classical Guitar

A great resource for free lessons and gear reviews, run by my friend and colleague Bradford Werner.

Productions d’Oz

A music publisher with a large catalogue of high quality scores.

IMSLP

A deep archive of original scores that is invaluable for research and repertoire exploration.

Ukulele Corner

A sister website to Classical Guitar Corner, featuring the teaching of Jeff Peterson.
