The Modern Guitarist's Toolkit
Being a guitarist today means more than just owning a great instrument. Whether you're practicing at home, recording demos, or producing full tracks, the right combination of physical gear and software can transform your creative process.
At The Guitar Chair, we explore everything that helps guitarists perform at their best — from the chair you sit in during practice to the plugins you use when recording.
Physical Comfort & Setup
Long practice sessions demand proper ergonomics. We started with a focus on seating and posture, and that foundation remains core to what we do:
- Ergonomic seating designed for guitarists
- Footrests and support accessories
- Practice room setup and organization
- Lighting and environment optimization
Recording & Software
The home recording revolution has put professional-quality tools in every guitarist's hands. We cover the software side of modern guitar playing:
- Audio interfaces and signal chain basics
- DAW selection and workflow tips
- Amp simulation and modeling software
- VST plugins for guitar — from amp sims to effects processors
- Virtual instruments and guitar libraries
Why VST Plugins Matter
Modern VST plugins have revolutionized how guitarists record and practice. High-quality amp simulators now rival the sound of real tube amps, while effects plugins offer unlimited experimentation without the cost of physical pedals. Whether you're after vintage tones or cutting-edge sounds, there's a plugin for every style.
Our Approach
We believe in practical, honest recommendations. We're not here to push the most expensive gear — we're here to help you find what actually works for your playing style, budget, and goals. Every guitarist's needs are different, and the "best" solution is always the one that helps you play more and play better.
