All of these answers are good---strap, tuner, polish, sweat cloth to wipe down the strings, extra strings, extra cable etc----but, the one thing I have found to be absolutely essential is either an emory board or a nail clipper!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

I keep a tuner in there, 1 or 2 e's maybe a set, then theres the capo, a joint or 2, couple of picks, and some clippers, couple of Heinikens, and trojens just in case, sometimes I leave my truck keys in there cause I know my guitar aint going anywhere without me, savy!?Www@QuestionHome@Com

Chromatic tuners are helpful!. But they need batteries, and can't
survive a fall from shoulder-height to a hard floor!.
So (in addition) I always keep a tuning fork handy!.
They don't need batteries, never wear out or go bad, and can
take plenty of abuse (like being dropped)!.
It's well worth the 10-12 bucks!.
E (329!.63Hz) is an ideal pitch for guitar!.
Same as the 1st string open, 6th string (2nd harmonic)
and 5th string (3rd harmonic)!. Once you have those in,
you can tune the remaining 3 by comparison!.
It's my version of American Express: I never leave home
without it!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

You should get a guitar strap, a guitar cleaner (you dont want that baby lookin raddy!) And those things you put on your fingers (forget what they are called) to train them for finger picking!. You should always have extra picks, guitar cleaner, guitar tuner, straps, and extra cords just in case one breaks!. Www@QuestionHome@Com

You might want a capo!.By the way, Always keep some extra strings in your case for when the others break!. Oh, almost forgot, get a cool strap!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
