6 Things That Guitar Players Should Bring on Gigs




Now I'm going show you most the important things to bring with you on gigs.


Compact LED Flashlight

Most stages are dark, especially in clubs, bars etc. It's good to bring a flashlight with you, just in case you need to get something in your bag that you thrown backstage or just in case you need to fix some cables, a powerful flashlight is very useful.

Spare Strings

This is very common to all guitar players, but this is for those who are not aware. It's advisable to put at-least a pair of strings on you gig bag every time you go out for gigs. Just in case you broke your string while tuning or playing in the gigs. You need to bring B and high E string, because this is prone to be broke.

Peg Winder

This one can really help you to save some time, when you broke your string and you need change it immediately, because the show is going to start in a minute. Using a peg winder is more easier, faster, and effortless, than turning the tuners manually using your hands.

Deep Socket

You should bring a specific socket for your guitar, because every guitar has a different sizes of knot. Deep Socket allows you to tighten the loose input jack of your guitar. Loose input jack may cause lost of signal from your guitar, this is common to guitars, especially on Stratocasters.

Screwdriver

You should bring a screwdriver, just in case your strap lock is loose and you need to tighten it up. You should bring a small size of it, that fits in your gig bag.

Wire Cutters

It's good to bring a pair of wire cutters, this is for cutting excess part of string after a string change. Excess string can bother you while you are playing.
