Christmas guitar gifts fall into 2 categories:
1) Mundane-Not Exciting but Useful and Needed
2) Exciting and Fun - but not Needed and Possibly Expensive
In the first category are the usual suspects:
Pedal tuner for the more advanced guitarist;
Clip on tuner for the beginner;
3 pack of strings;
NOT a strap - a personal thing that is akin to choosing shoes for someone else...
NOT string cleaners/spray on cleaners/String Ease;
A metronome;
A computer audio interface (either Steinberg or Focusrite brands);
Decent guitar cable (no vinyl ends);
Possibly an Ibanez Tube Screamer clone pedal (just about any cheap pedal that claims to be a "distortion pedal" that is colored green...)
In the second category:
A NEW GUITAR (see my previous blog posts)
A NEW AMP (Boss Katana if a beginner; see my previous blog posts...)
A Line 6 DL-4 delay pedal (don't forget an extra patch cable is needed);
A Miku Stomp pedal (hard to explain, in this situation YouTube is best...);
.. and that literally is about all I could safely recommend! Sorry - I do not wish to recommend something I don't think a semi-random guitar player might not need or like. On the other hand, I'm fairly confident of the above as far as the reader being made aware.
