Chords for Unique Guitar Gift Ideas

Ladies and gentlemen, it's that time of year again.
What time of year you ask?
[C] _ The time when [G] guitarists get to fill out their Christmas wish [A] lists.
While we all [C] need things like cables, strings, and probably more talent,
I'm gonna shake it up a bit and show you eight unique gifts for guitarists, all for under [A] $50.
Links to each product mentioned today [Em] will be available down in the description.
It [D] helps me out if you use those as I get a tiny commission for each sale.
But more so, it helps [Em] the people I'll be buying gifts for avoid [Dm] the disappointment they [B] regularly feel [E] from my cheap and last-minute presents.
Let's [Dm] dive in.
Our first gift today is the [C]
Firefly guitar pick.
Have you ever wished you had [A] the Star of Bethlehem flickering away in your fingers as you played guitar?
[C] Of course you have, and that's what this pick mimics.
It lights up as you [G] hit the strings in time with [A] your strums.
Whether you're [C] playing Light My Fire or Blinded by the Light, this [F] pick is straight lit.
Let's see this baby in [Bb] action. _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ [Gm] _ _
_ [C] _ _ _ [Bb] _ _ _ _
[C] The Firefly pick is available in a number [Am] of different color patterns.
It's rechargeable via USB and it comes in [F] just below our threshold at $49.99.
[Am] Next up in our box of treats [G] is the Wingman.
And who [Gm] can't appreciate the value of a good Wingman?
Now as guitar players and [Am] humans, we're limited by our measly two arms.
If we wanted to change the settings of a [F] pedal mid-solo, it was tough luck, pal.
[C] Until now.
The [G] Wingman is a replacement knob that will fit [Dm] any standard pedal.
It makes it so you can now twist your knob using your [Am] feet.
If you didn't know you wanted to do that, let me show you a demo.
It can be pretty fun.
I've [Bm] put it on the speed knob of my [Em] trem.
Check it out. _ _ _
_ [F] _ _ [Em] _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ [E] _ _ [C] _ _ _
_ [Am] _ _ _ _ _ _ [Em] _
_ _ [Bb] _ _ _ The Wingman option knob comes in a country mile below our [Eb] threshold at $9.95.
Let's see what else we've got in here.
[F] Ah yes, one [D] of my favorites, [Gb] Zen Guitar.
People will sometimes comment about my [Bb] calm demeanor and aged wisdom.
They'll ask how I came to have such an outlook on life.
What they don't know is, it's all a front.
I'm actually [Bb] a raging idiotic psychopath.
[Eb] But I learned to fake it using this [Bb] book.
I've mentioned it [Fm] before because it really [G] does have the potential to [Gb] change your relationship
with music.
This [Db] paperback doesn't look at [Dm] theory, technique, or any of the musical [Eb] stuff.
But rather how we can find the most [Em] happiness and satisfaction through our [Bb] instrument.
It's written by the great master, [G] Philip Toshio Sudo and sells for [C] $12.09.
If I [Gm] had an Oprah book club, this would be number [F] one on it.
Alright, let's see what else we can ask for from Santa.
_ [Eb] Ho ho ho, Hosa cable [G] ties.
I'm sure you're dying to know what [Bb] these are used for.
They're used for [G] wrapping cables.
While this product might not have the flair and excitement the other things on our list [Bb] do,
these things have changed my life.
See, [G] I used to knot my cables [A] like such.
But this puts [F] unnecessary wear on them and it's probably [Gb] why I have a pile [F] of broken ones.
And using electrical tape [Bb] leaves behind sticky, [Bb] unwanted, rage-inducing gunk.
These cable [Gm] ties solve that [Gb] for me.
My [Bb] pedalboard is held together with them.
I've got them all over my studio and it doesn't stop there.
Kettle, shirt iron, [Eb] _ [Gb] green onions.
The [Bb] possibilities are endless.
Buy a 50-pack, get your life together.
Only $11.95.
Next up, we've got [Cm] the Levees MN [Gb]-01 [Bbm] Elasticated Guitar [Gb] Strap.
_ [Dm] _ [Bb] I'm not sure if it's just [Eb] me getting older,
but [Bb] if I play guitar too long while [G] standing up, my back gets a little [C] sore.
Having a stretchable guitar strap helps [F] alleviate some of that stress.
[Ebm] On top of that, it also allows you to do [Gb] some cool stage moves
[G] that would never be [Db] possible with your standard [Ebm] strap.
_ _ [Bb] _ _ _ [Gm] _ _ [Bb] _
[Am] The cost of this [D] thing is $21.99.
[Ab] Saddle up, cowboys.
Our next product is the [D] Graf-Tec String Saver Saddles.
[G] These are graphite saddles that will [C] replace the garbage metal ones that are currently on your [Eb] bridge.
There are a number of different fitting [E] options on their website
[Am] that will help you figure [D] out which ones will fit with your axe.
Let me tell [G] you a story.
Once upon a time, I used [Am] to think that breaking strings was [D] just a part of playing guitar.
I replaced the saddles on all [E] my guitars with string [A] savers about 10 [Dm] years ago.
I haven't broken a string [Bm] since and have lived happily ever after.
This [C] has literally saved me [Gm] tens of dollars, [A] maybe even hundreds.
[D] They run for [E] $35 to $45, [Am] depending on which [D] ones your guitar needs.
Moving right [Am] along, next in our seemingly endless gift box is the Planet [Db] Waves Guitar Dock.
I'll be honest, I [G] have some bad habits.
One of them is leaning my guitar against things because I'm too lazy to put it [A] away.
A great recipe for a broken guitar.
Enter the Guitar Dock.
This [D] product turns any ledge into a safe and secure guitar stand.
Let's check it out.
_ _ [G] _ _ [E] _
_ [Am] _ _ _ [D] _ _ _ [G] _
_ [Ab] _ _ [Am] _ _ [D] The price of this baby?
[G] $17.91.
Last [C] on our list is the [Db] Guitar Triller.
A [D] wonderful device that [E] bounces off your [G] strings to create a thrilling [D] trilling effect.
Let's [Gm] hear it in action.
This is [Am] Triller.
_ [Dm] _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ [G] _ _ _ _ _ _ [Dm] _
_ _ [G] It doesn't take much practice to [E] get the hang of it.
You'll be paying the bills with [D] chill trills in no time.
The cost for this lil' thrill [G] is $16.95.
And those [Am] my friends are [D] 8 unique gifts for [Gm]
guitarists, all under [G] $50.
Again, if you [Eb] want to add any of these [D] things to your holiday [G] list,
tell Santa to use the links in the description.
[C] Thank you all for watching and a [Cm] big thank you to everyone who [D] supports my channel through Patreon.
I've got some more festive content coming out [G] soon,
but not [C] too much of it because that would get old real quick.
[D] Stay tuned, hit [E] subscribe if you're new here.
