You can also get a capo that only covers half of your strings, but I never found a use for that one really…the only thing I suggest is a box to keep your picks in, since they get lost so quickly, but other than that, you are good to go.

The capo for half of the strings is pretty cool. I have one I don't use it very often but I like using it on the 3rd and 5th frets and use the half capo from the A to the G. The open B and e sound nice with it and it's a very soothing sound. Its also good for alternate tunings.

But it sound like you got the basics covered OP! Perhaps you may want to invest in an electric pick up for use of your acoustic through an amp? I like Vox amps with my acoustic. A lil bit of compression and reverb brings out that resonance real nice!
