Practice amp--with an intro to effects, fun!
This is the one you need to buy when your singer finally books your band's first gig.

Yellow-Thin, Green&Blue-Mediums, Purple-Heavy. Don't bother with Red or Orange, too floppy.
Best Clip-on Tuner.
Best Chromatic Tuner.
Best Acoustic Strings.
Best Electric Strings.
Best Fancy Acoustic Strings. (Don't buy fancy electric strings.)
Good Capo.
Great Capo!
Great cable, lasts a lifetime, great price.
Best Budget Strap.
Comfortable, no-twist strap.
It's not a question of will my strap fall off, but when. Catching your guitar works, but these are nice after a couple misses.
For when you're ready to graduate from that gig bag.
One of several ways to get all the notes in between the frets.
"Electric bows" - So fun you won't notice your bandmates left practice an hour ago.
These are better than the ones with neck-holders, just trust me.
Great way to save floor-space and make your wall look pretty.
Standard Wire Stand, great portability and storage.
Most Guitar Methods out there are close to each other in quality, but I'd have to opine this one to be the most accessible and comprehensive, despite its having gone out of print.
Let's face it, some find Method Melodies to be a bore. Yankee Doodle, Mary Ann, Danny Boy, who are these people? For the harder to please, the fun of putting Pop note-melodies on the fretboard can make all the difference.
Best Method Book for the older kids, well worth the price for those seeking heavy immersion.
Classical guitar can be intimidating, but this book eases you into that straight-backed dulcet-toned world of presenting the guitar all by its lonesome, without vox, bass, and drums...
Learning the CAGED system is a lot more fun when you do it by arming yourself with 100 blues riffs!
This is the first and only Jazz book you will ever need to buy. It's so cool that it was illegal for the first couple decades of its existence.
As a guitarist, never buy a chord book, or scale book, or music theory book. Buy this book first, as it's not just a list of concepts' it's a list of concepts as applied to practical guitar playing.
Fun collection of riffs for the seasoned fretboard adventurer. Great supplement for those who have the extra practice time and drive.
Not a book, this is the actualization of the "Back to the Future" hoverboard. This is Rockband/Guitar Hero played with an actual guitar, and the second edition has worked out almost all the kinks from the original.
Everyone's first pedal.
Everyone later wishes this had been their first pedal.
Classic Tube Overdrive! (For smoother rocks and rolls.)
Delay=instantly sound like U2.
The equivalent of that noise you make when you're running around holding a toy (or being an imaginary) airplane.
Chorus=instant Sting, or Nirvana, or Rush... or, you?
Stage Essential. There's no messing about with mic/clip-on tuners in a noisy packed club.
You can't be the next Jimi Hendrix without a wah-wah pedal.
Decent all-in-one pedalboard for the adventurous signal tinkerer.
