Gift Ideas for a Guitar Player

    Supplies

    • Items that are needed to make a guitar look and sound its best can be expensive. Treat a guitar player with something she will really get some use out of. An amplifier, tuner, metronome or some guitar picks are gifts of varying prices that would be very useful. Find out what type of guitar strings he uses and pick up some packages of those. Musicians are always breaking strings and it's good to have some extras around. A string cutter is handy to have around and helps a guitarist re-string his instrument easily.

    Straps

    • Straps express a guitarist's personality and are useful as well. Have a customized strap made for the guitarist in your life with his name spelled out on it, or purchase one that fits her personality. Straps range in price and can be made of varying materials. Some famous musicians also have their own lines of straps, so if he is a Joe Satriani fan, he may enjoy a Satriani strap for his guitar. Make sure the strap is good quality and a reputable brand.

    Themed Items

    • Guitar themed items come in many styles --- T-shirts, keychains, coffee mugs, posters are just a few options. A brand like Fender or Les Paul has branded items that are stylish and cool for a guitarist. Jewelry is also an option. Funny items like a guitar shaped cheese grater, light switch plate, pint glass or watch will make a guitarist smile. Baseball caps and mouse pads also pay tribute to axe players and would make fun gifts.

    Tablatures

    • Tablatures are essentially song books. The books contain lyrics and music for songs. These can be purchased at music stores. Find out the recipient's favorite artist and gift her with a new tablature book so she can learn some new songs on the guitar. These come in every style of music and many artists have tablatures according to album. These make a great gift since most guitarists always want to learn something new and challenge themselves.

    DVDs

    • There are instructional DVDs that teach guitarists new techniques, or show famous guitarists playing their songs and teaching the viewer how. Every guitarist wants to get better and instructional DVDs are a good way to improve and learn new things. Other types of DVDs a guitarist would like may be concert performances and live shows of her favorite bands and guitarists rocking out. Check music stores for music DVD gifts.
