I know I’m almost too late with this post but I figured I would share what I think are good gift ideas for guitar players. The problem with buying gifts for a guitarist is that are usually picky about the gear. I’m going to recommend some items that just about any guitarist could use.

A great stocking stuffer is a bulk assortment of picks. Go to Ebay and search for “bulk guitar pick” or “guitar pick lot”.

Another great idea are instructional books or DVD’s. At Musicians Friend there is a series of DVD’s bay a company called “Rock House”. Just search for “Rock House DVD”. I have a few of these dvds and they are excellent.

The Vox amPlug is a great headphone amp for $40. Any guitarist would like to have this in there arsenal.

T-Shirts that say “Marshall”, “Fender” or whatever brand of guitar or amp they play are also pretty safe bets.

As I think of more ideas I’ll post then here.

Boston is one of my all time favorite bands and the death of Brad Delp saddens me in so many ways. Listening to old rock brings so much comfort, memories of much simpler times. When key member of a band passes a little piece of us die as well.

The world needs hope right now. We always have hopeour favorite bands would do one more tour, one more reunion, one more killer album. Unfortunately we all have one less thing to be hopeful about.
