Most dads are notoriously difficult to shop for, which is why they wind up with the typical coffee mugs or power tools on Father’s Day. However, if your dad plays guitar, or always wanted to learn, picking out the perfect gift gets a lot easier. Below are a few ideas to inspire you.

Present Ideas for Music Lovers

1. Lessons

Maybe your father has always dreamed of picking up a guitar or they’ve been talking about taking their skills to the next level. Guitarists can always improve, making lessons a touching gift for any musician. In the process, they might also meet new people who share their interests.

2. Recording Mics

GarageBand® and other recording programs make it easier than ever to create professional-quality recordings at home but require an excellent microphone. Manufacturers offer a wide range of mics designed for acoustic guitars, electric amps, or vocals.

3. A New Amp

4. New Strings

If your dad plays guitar regularly, they probably burn through packages of strings pretty quickly. For Father’s Day, consider picking up a variety of brands and styles so your dad can try new sounds.

5. A Slide

One of the most exciting aspects of playing the guitar is that there are always new techniques to learn. Having a slide opens up different genres for exploration, which can reignite your dad’s passion for their instrument.
