Fun gift idea: Lead Guitar Player Smurf

Finding the right music gifts for guitar players has become much easier with the recommendations below. Most of these ideas are inexpensive, extremely useful, and some quite fun to own.

Enjoy the selection below and hopefully you will find that perfect guitar gift for that special person in your life.

My brother is a big guitar player (hobbyist only, although I've told him numerous times that he should do it professionally). He started to play the guitar at a very early age - actually I did try it too along with him, but I never really took to it.

However my brother, for him this hobby became one of the most enjoyable things he's been doing, and he's been at it for over 30 years now. He has a large collection of guitars and he keeps buying a new one every year or so because apparently each of them sounds different from the previous one. For me they all sound the same, but then what do I know.

Luckily however, this great hobby makes it easy for me to buy him birthday gifts because there are just so many things that a guitarist would love. I bought him over the years tshirts, a few guitar miniatures, some very exclusive guitar picks taken from eBay, even a silver tiny guitar chain, and a few other things. Once I even pinched in with some money for him to buy a really cool and expensive guitar.

So if you do know someone who is playing the guitar, there are tons of great things you can buy him or her, many gifts for guitarists that could make them happy only as happy as a hobby guitarist can get.

I hope the gifts listed here will help you choose something appropriate for your husband, friend, brother or anyone who you know enjoys playing the guitar.

This is one of the coolest gifts for guitarists. Every guitar player loves a great tshirt, and what better shirts to have than those featuring ... guitars!

You can choose between 5 different sizes and while the shirt color is only black, it really goes well with the awesome blue guitar - btw it's also printed small on the back of the shirt.

Every avid guitarist will enjoy owning such a t-shirt!

I have to admit: I love this shirt. This is the very one I gave my guitarist brother as Christmas gift last year. It's simply awesome. I bought it from Amazon (so I haven't seen it before he actually got it as it went directly to his address), but he's over the moon about it, he praises very highly and it's become one of his very favorite shirts.

You can choose from 5 different sizes and what's cool about it is that you can actually play the guitar on the shirt. I mean for real. Sure, you can only play the major chords, but this t-shirt is a gift for fun, not for playing guitar on it for real! If this isn't a cool gift for a guitar lover, then I don't know what!

A very inexpensive, but useful gift is Farley's Deluxe Guitar Tool. It has so many small tools in one that your guitarist friend of family member will never need another set of tools for his guitar. Better yet, buy one for every guitar he has so he can put it in his guitar cases. Many call it the 'Swiss Army Knife of guitarists' and with good reason.

It's made of quality material and it's really an all-purpose piece. Now there is no longer need to have many single tools for this or that particular task of fine-tuning or fixing the guitar. Everything is neatly in one place, in one single tool.

You get here the following tools in one:

* Patented carbide steel cutting blade

* Taylor made grip

* Professional quality hardened steel hex wrenches

* Phillips and flathead screwdrivers

* Nylon web carrying case

Another great set of tools for guitarists, this time the separate tools are in a lovely case. You get the following tools for guitarists:

* Hex key set (metric and fractional)

* Thickness gauge

* Cable and strap

* Ruler, capo and cutter

* 6-in-1 screwdriver

* Thickness gauge

* Ruler

* Capo

* Cutters

* String winder

* LED flashlight

This is a great set of tools to adjust and everything you need on your guitar to make it sound much better and improve its quality. All tools are made of quality materials, which makes them long lasting for every guitar professional who needs to fine tune their guitar on a regular basis.

Any guitar lover will enjoy reading about famous guitar players. This book is perfect for the occasion. It features Doyle Dykes talking about his life as one of the most prominent fingerstyle guitarists

His stories are compelling, heart warming and sometimes sad. Somebody called this book the Chicken Soup For Christian Guitarists and with good reason.

You don't even have to be a Christian style guitar player to enjoy this book, as it contains so much more than just about his guitar experiences.

And if you ask me, you don't even have to be a guitar player to pick up this book and read it cover to cover, it's that good. Worth every single dime!
