Father’s Day Gift Guide For Dads That Rock! Or waltz, or swing, or 2-step. You get the idea…
Choosing the right gift for Father’s Day can be a challenge, but understanding and catering to your dad’s interests is the key to finding the perfect present. If your dad happens to be a musician, or is the type of person that just really loves music, this is the gift guide for you! Plus, this gift guide for Dads that rock, is written by a dad that also happens to be a musician.
We all know that the secret to successful gift buying lies in selecting an item that your dad truly desires but may never think to buy for himself. If dad plays guitar and breaks a string, of course he’ll go grab a new set. But is dad really going to go online and order himself that awesome, wooden pick holder that he thinks is so cool that keeps jumping into his social feed? Probably not. So, let’s dive into this gift guide and discover remarkable and heartfelt surprises that will strike a chord with your music-loving dad this Father’s Day.
Gift Card to a Record Store
We happen to have one of the countries greatest record stores right in our backyard! Twist and Shout Records in Denver Colorado has pretty much everything an audiophile could ever ask for. If Dad is trying to grab the new DMB record or maybe some new speakers help him out with a GIFT CARD to Twist and Shout. Oh yeah, Twist also happens to be locally owned, so that’s awesome.
Marshall Guitar Amp Key Hanger
Seriously, every dad wants this. Even if they don’t play the guitar (which they totally should). Plus, the chances of dad loosing his keys is going to be eliminated because he won’t be able to resist plugging his keys into the wall and making a guitar sound every time he walks in the door. GO BUY IT! We promise, he’s going to love it.
Guitar Pick Holder
Perfect gift for the guitar player Dad! Instead of the bottom of the dryer, dad can keep his picks in this wooden guitar pick holder. You could really do him a solid and fill it with all of the picks that got dropped into the guitar.
iPad
Let’s face it, if your dad doesn’t have an IPad, he wants one. If your dad is a musician, there is a darn good chance that he needs one. iPads have become an almost required tool for musicians of all kinds. The tectonic crash from print to digital in terms of sheet music has already landed and there is no turning back. Whether reading tabs in a bar band, or playing standards in a combo or performing in the concert hall, doing so from a screen in the new norm. Don’t leave dad fumbling with piles of paper that are certain to get lost in the wind (or van).
Does dad already have an iPad? Buy him an Apple Pencil to mark down all those changes and notes to his charts.
PRIVATE LESSONS!
I mean, it is kinda what we do, so we feel like it’s pretty important. Dad can pick up a new instrument that he’s always wanted to play. He can brush up on an instrument that he used to play. He could also just deepen his skill set or learn a new style on an instrument that he currently plays. Remember our teachers teach all levels and they are really good at it. We do have quite a few Dads and some Granddads already learning with us.
