Learn some basic maintenance

One of my biggest recommendations for guitar players specifically is to learn some basic maintenance. Learn to change your strings. Learn to adjust your action and your intonation. Learn to clean your fretboard.

Those things aren’t very complicated and are fairly simple to learn. Here’s a fantastic playlist of YouTube videos created by Gibson and the guitar tech Jim DeCola that has a number of videos on basic guitar maintenance. I highly recommend my fellow guitar players watch some of those videos to learn how to keep their instruments in good playing condition.
