Christmas Gifts for Guitar Players

So here we are folks in getting close to Christmas. You may now be starting to look at gifts for the guitar player in your life. Here are a top 5 things you may want to look at and what I would recomend as great gifts for any guitar player. I have also included links where to but them from.

#1 Guitar Tuner

A Guitar tuner. There are lots of guitar tuners on the market. From foot pedal based tuners to clip on tuners. You will always sound better with an in tune guitar. You do not need to spend lots of money on a tuner and a decent tuner should last many years to come. The tuner that stands out at the moment is a tc electronic PolyTuneClip on Tuner. This clever little device lets you strum all the strings at once. and show you which strings are out of tune. I do not know of another tuner that can do that as normally you have to tune each string individually. These are on offer at the moment at amazon click HERE check this out.

#2 Guitar Strings

Guitar strings are always needed. You can never have enough packs of spare strings. They increase in price every year so it is a good idea to buy a few packs at a time and you will get a bit of a discount. The strings shown are my choice of they are gauge 9 electric guitar strings. These are not for acoustic guitars. You may want to check the gauge of strings before purchasing. You will be in good company using these strings as every one from Slash to Angus Young use them, and many more click HERE to check out these strings

#3 Guitar Capo

A guitar capo its a little device that clips over the guitar neck that enables the guitarist to play in higher keys. There are lot’s of popular songs that use a capo. The Beatles Here Comes The Sun, Oasis Wonder wall, Free Falling Tom Petty just to name a few. There is a chap called Ed Sheeran who you may of heard of who uses one of these on lots of his songs too. They are very cheap and can be a great stocking filler. Click HERE to have a look at capo’s They fit both acoustic and electric guitars.

#4 Trinity College Grade Books

Trinity College Grade books are fantastic. Gain recognised guitar qualifications while learning to play well known tunes. Grades go from Initial up to Grade 8. You can start at any grade but I would suggest taking a grade you are more comfortable with first to get some experience. These books are very popular with my students. you can get more information on the syllabus from Trinity College Rock & Pop  You can buy the books from HERE 

#5 Boss Distortion Pedal

Finally The Boss Distortion Pedal. The sound of Rock guitar in a Pedal There are many effect pedals available but this one in my opinion is the king of Distortion. Boss pedals have been the the industry standard pedals for many years. If its Distortion you want this is the pedal to go for you can buy that HERE
