1. Guitar Smartphone Holder
Now this is genius. It saves the guitar player from having to hunch over a laptop to read sheet music or chords. Just clip this on to the guitar, pull up your favorite chord site, and get playing. Or, use it as a tuner by pulling up a tuning app! The best thing about this holder is it works with many different smartphone sizes. Gifts for guitar players don’t get much cooler.
Grab it on AMAZON.
2. Slide Ring
guitar-slide-ringThe great thing about a slide ring is, unlike a traditional slide that covers your entire finger, you can use the ring when it’s time to slide, and use your fingers when it’s time to play a chord. It keeps the options open! This would be a great gift for the blues guitarist, but any guitarist would appreciate this gift.

From Hendrix to Clapton, all the greats have wah’d out with the Crybaby Wah. And it’s super fun to play.

5. Gig Bag
guitar-gig-bag Every guitarist needs a good gig bag. It protects the guitar, make transportation a breeze, and holds accessories such as picks, cables, and sheet music. Our recommendation is the Gator Commander. This case has lots of storage, backpack straps, cable management, and a compartment for a laptop. Now if you want to get super creative, you could buy a gig bag and load it up with guitar accessories! That, my friends, is a solid gift idea.

6. Kava Capo
kava-kapoA capo allows the guitarist to quickly change the pitch of a piece of music. There’s a bunch of capos on the market and it’s important you don’t grab the super cheap one as a gift. While it’s a pretty simple device, quality matters. That’s why we’re recommending the Kava Capo for acoustic guitars and the Kyser for the electric guitar player.
Grab it on AMAZON.
7. String Fuel Cleaner
guitar-string-fuelYou might be thinking a cleaner is a boring gift. Wrong! It’s actually a very integral part of producing quality sound. Keeping strings cleaned and lubricated helps preserve the integrity of the strings, reduces string noise, and makes it easier to slide up and down the strings. Plus, this thing makes the whole process super easy. Just swipe it across the strings and you’re good to rock on.
Grab it on AMAZON.
8: A Good Recording Microphone
guitar-micThe way we see it, you have two choices when it comes to a guitar microphone. You can grab a mic like the Shure SM57, which is an excellent choice for recording electric guitar through an amp. With a mic like this you’ll also need to grab a cable and an XLR-to-USB Signal adapter. The other option is to get a mic like the Blue Yeti. This guy has the interface built in and runs directly into a computer via USB. Either way, you’ll be sure to impress with a gift of this caliber!

9: Tablature Manuscript Paper
This book comes with pages of blank tab paper and chord diagrams, making it easy for players to write licks and songs. This is a great gift idea for guitar players who love to write their own music.

No matter how many picks a player buys, it seems like on many occasions they find themselves without a pick. This innovation gives them the power to cut any plastic material into picks. From experience, credit cards and plastic lids work the best.
