Amazon Music Supplies
Hello! I have finally decided to create a list of accessories for my webcam guitar, bass and ukulele lessons. The list will mention most of the items needed for online guitar lessons, online bass lessons and online ukulele lessons. In the future I can simply send this blog article to students and the text links will take them directly to the item on Amazon! I tried to stay on the affordable side with most of the items. If you have a question about any accessories not listed here just let me know. Skype music lessons are really growing in popularity. Please contact me to schedule your free lesson.
Guitar Accessories:
1. Fender Medium Picks These are the most versatile picks with just the right amount of “flex” for acoustic or electric playing.
2. Martin Silk & Steel Acoustic Strings The first thing I do with beginning students on acoustic guitars is put these on! Much easier on the fingertips.
3. Matrix MR500 Metronome You will see this listed for Bass and Ukulele as well. Metronomes are a must for serious study.
4. Kyser 6 String Capo This “6 String” capo will work for acoustic or electric. If you have a classical make sure you order the classical model.
5. Snark Clip-On Chromatic Tuner Super simple and affordable way to keep your guitar in tune.
6. Manhasset Music Stand Model #48 the industry standard in music stands. Very sturdy so you books and papers will stay on the stand not on the floor.
7. Hal Leonard Guitar Method A great beginning level 1 method I like for learning to read music. Buy book only if possible there is no need for the CD.
8. Alfreds Guitar Method Another good level 1 book for beginning guitar students.
9. Christopher Parkening Classical Guitar Method This is the book I am using with my classical guitar students.
10. Classical Guitar Student Repertoire I like to move into this book when students have solid enough technique.
11. Aaron Shearer Basic Elements of Music Theory for The Guitar The title says it all. This is a traditional theory book and I strongly recommend it before studying modern theory.

5. Progressive Slap Technique Absolutely the best book I have found for teaching slap and funk style bass.
6. Fender Heavy Picks If you are going to use a pick for punk, ska, pop, rock or any other style that requires the attack of a pick this is the one. I selected the cool Confetti design.
7. Fender Squire P Bass Guitar Package Everything the beginning bass player needs to get started! I have the linked to the Tobacco Sunburst model.
Ukulele Accessories:
1. Matrix MR500 Metronome A must have for the serious student. There are some very good free metronome apps for smartphones too.

4. Aquila Strings I have the link going to a set of (Low G) for a soprano ukulele. I like these strings for high or low G.
5. Hal Leonard Ukulele Method 1 This is a great book for the day one beginner showing basic note reading, rhythm and tablature.
Webcam & Computers:
1. Logitech C920 Webcam This is the camera I have been using since the start! HD quality and the mic is built in.
2. Samsung Galaxy 12.2 Tablet I am using this more and more for teaching! I linked to the 32GB version but they make a 64GB version. Both have a USB port!
3. HP Envy 17.3 Laptop This is my next computer purchase. HP is making big laptops with plenty of power and screen room for skype lessons.
