How one simple decision changed my life forever -- learning to play the guitar
Let me just tell you that this guy has it exactly right. There is no problem that can't be solved with a guitar (with the possible exception of a hand injury).
I took up the guitar when one of my best friends killed himself. Well, OK, I already knew how to play but I really got serious about it after my friend died. The guitar saved my life. It gave me an outlet for my own misery and over time transformed it into much joy.
As the years went on, my skills improved. The guitar helps me to express my joy. It makes good friends. It has provided some of the best times of my life and continues to do so. I heartily recommend learning how to play.
This is a great guitar learning program. From complete beginner to expert, the benefits of the program work for everyone. Gift it to someone you love or use it for yourself.
By the way, I get all my gear at 
because they have pro-quality stuff at the best prices around.
If you are looking for ideas for homemade gifts to give a guitarist, may I suggest the simplest one of all: a new strap. It's super easy to make a guitar strap, and every guitarist I know who has ever received one loves it.
