What’s one piece of guitar gear you’ve bought that you immediately had to show your friends when they came over? Not the most expensive thing you own — the one that made you say: “Yo, check this out.” Could be: - A pedal - A weird little gadget - A mod - A piece of décor - Something small but just cool Please be specific, and feel free to post a picture of it so we can all see it. I’m asking because I want this community to help shape the kind of gear we bring into Omni Guitars. Stuff that makes people curious, sparks conversations, and actually gets used. Drop one item (or a few if you can’t choose 😄) and tell me why you love it. Let’s build this together 🤘

I’ve tried to learn finger picking for several years. As long as I’m not really thinking about my fingers and trying to stay in rhythm/time, I can do ok. But the second I lapse and focus my thoughts on my fingers, it all goes south. Usually only a minute or two. How can I keep my fingers going in rhythm for an extended period of time??? I thought it would come with time and practice, but I’m not so sure anymore.

Just wanted to say thank you to Taylor and the admins for letting me back in.

I’ve been diving into some new gear ideas lately, and I’m curious where the community stands on smart guitars — instruments with built-in tech, apps, onboard effects, learning tools, etc. Some players love the innovation… others feel like it takes away from the raw, traditional guitar experience. I can see both sides, which is why I want to hear from you. Do smart guitars actually solve real problems for guitarists? Would you ever own one — or do you already? What features would make a smart guitar worth it? Drop your thoughts below. I’m really interested to hear the honest opinions from this group.

Don't exactly have anything to "show" but I've got something to tell I've been in college for a month now and I've join nearly all of my schools ensembles including both choirs, orchestra, and jazz improv playing bass in both. I have my first concert for orchestra this Friday and I've got a little bit of jitters. Im playing the upright bass for 2 songs and its still an instrument that's a little new to me and then my Jackson bass for 1 song. Just kind of wanted to share and see what some of you do before a performance and help cool you down.
