What is everyone doing this weekend? Playing a gig? Going to a show? Date night? Me personally, my wife is away, so I'll be playing so very loud.

Last week you all brought the heat with product ideas! Seriously, this is exactly what makes this community different. Thank you to everyone who contributed.

Now I need your help to lock in what we build next. 👉 Comment your TOP 3 ideas using the numbers below. Example: 2, 10, 15 Important: Start your comment with the numbers so we can easily track what’s most popular across the group.

One of the big goals for this community is to build guitar gear together instead of just selling random stuff. So we want your help. We’re looking for ideas for our next product — something guitar players actually want right now. This could be: • Something you wish existed • Something you bought before but think could be improved • Something simple that solves a common problem for guitar players • A piece of gear or accessory you use all the time Now here’s an important part of this… We’re not necessarily trying to reinvent the wheel. Sure, it would be amazing if we came up with a completely new guitar invention. But in reality, most successful products come from taking something that already exists and making it better. That could mean: • Improving the design • Making it more durable • Making it simpler to use • Making it smaller or easier to carry • Fixing something annoying about the current version Sometimes the best products are just small tweaks that make a good product great. 🎁 The Cool Part If we end up producing your idea, members of this community will get it FREE or heavily discounted before it ever hits retail. Everyone else will have to pay full price. That’s one of the perks of being here early. 😎 ⚠️ One Small Limitation We’re not a massive company like Fender, Yamaha Guitar Group, or Ernie Ball (yet). So for our next community-built product, we want ideas that follow what I call the 6 P’s of a winning product. These aren’t strict rules — just guidelines to help us pick products that have the best chance of success. • Paltry – Small in size • Petite – Lightweight • Permanent – Durable / not easily breakable • Prevent From Having Sizes – No size variants needed • Perceived Value High – Feels valuable to the buyer • Purchase Price Low – Affordable to produce A product doesn’t need to hit all 6, but the closer it gets, the better chance we have of producing it successfully. Think things like clever accessories, tools, gadgets, or simple gear that guitar players would actually use.

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.
