Personalized Pick

• The guitar pick is a valuable tool for guitar students and teachers alike. The plastic implement amplifies chords and allows guitarists to single out individual notes in solos. Many guitarists exhibit their musical pride by drilling a hole through a pick and wearing it as an emblem on a necklace. A great gift is a set of personalized guitar picks with your teacher's name or photo professionally printed onto the pick's surface. Pickfactory.com is one of many websites that prints custom-made designs and pictures onto quality guitar picks. Your teacher will use or wear the pick with pride.
  
  

Sheet Music

• Another great gift for a guitar teacher is sheet music of his favorite band or genre. Sheet music is reasonably affordable; however, compiling a personal sheet music library adds up quickly. A gift of sheet music keeps the teacher's costs down and library up-to-date so that he can play along with that catchy rock tune on the radio with musical precision or explore exotic world guitar music. Another idea is giving your teacher a pad of blank staff paper for him to jot down his own riffs. Sheetmusicplus.com features thousands of titles and songbooks available for purchase.
  
  

Guitar Cookies

• If your budget is limited, homemade guitar-shaped cookies are an inexpensive, creative and delicious gift for a guitar teacher. Whip up some sugar cookie dough, roll it and then use a plastic knife to cut out guitar shapes. Cut out different kinds of guitars, such as electric, acoustic and bass, and have the teacher guess which is which. Add some flair to the guitars by frosting cool designs, strings or frets onto the cookies.
  
  

Guitar Albums

• One facet of being a musician is familiarity with the masters. Some famous world and jazz guitarists, including Les Paul, Wes Montgomery, Andres Segovia and Paco de Lucia, either have their own albums or are featured on compilation albums. Amazon.com, iTunes and BarnesandNoble.com carry thousands of mp3s and CDs by these and many more professional guitarists that your guitar teacher will enjoy. You can choose from all kinds of genres, such as flamenco, rock, country, classical and many others.
