A Christmas present I want to give my boyfriend who’s in a band

string

How do acoustic guitar string types change tone and playability? [Digimart Underground Lab]

Some people tend to stick to a single brand for guitar or bass strings and don’t really try different ones.

So how about putting together a selection of recommended strings and having them wrapped up cutely? Strings are consumables, so he’ll be happy to get as many as you give, and they’re practical too, so it’s sure to be appreciated.

Just don’t forget to tell the store clerk what kind of instrument he plays.

nail file

A review of how the nail file from the guitar string brand Elixir feels to use!

This is a nail file released by Elixir, a brand renowned as an innovative guitar string maker.

For band members who are often seen by others, nails are something to pay attention to.

How great would it be to manage them with a product from the same maker as the instrument you always use.

Transcribing by Ear Book

Excited! I found an amazing book on transcribing music by ear.

If he plays instruments like guitar or keyboard, he’s probably eager to sharpen his ability to play songs purely by ear—what we call “transcribing by ear.” Especially if he’s around an intermediate level and usually buys sheet music to learn songs, he’d be thrilled with an ear-training/transcription book to strengthen that skill.

These books come in various formats: some include CDs or DVDs, while others let you download audio from the internet and practice along.

Why not gift him a book that suits his style and support his practice?

electronic drums

Authentic electronic drums at a low price! Start drumming with the ROLAND V-Drums TD-1DMK! @Toyohashi City Shirai Music

I can’t really say it’s affordable, but how about giving your drummer boyfriend an electronic drum kit, since he can’t easily practice at home? Even when you hit it, it’s quiet, so there’s no need to worry about noise.

Let’s have him use it and help him improve!

strap lock

I bought ESP strap locks, so I’ll compare them with the new Schaller strap pins and swap them out.

Many people want to give a gift he can carry with him all the time.

In that case, how about a set of strap locks? Strap locks are devices that secure the strap used to wear a guitar or bass over the shoulder.

Since strap locks are consumable items, he’ll appreciate them even if he already has a set.

They’re small, but each brand and model has a different design, so try to find ones that match your boyfriend’s style.
