Hi! I'm crunched for time on the matter unfortunately, because my ideas all fell through when the local music stores all sold out of the new Ibanez RG8 8 string guitar that my sweetheart has been heavily admiring. I still plan on getting it for him of course, but all related ideas and plans have fallen through due to our anniversary being this Sunday.

I'd really like to do something special for him this Sunday, and if possible keep it music related at the same time. The guitar will cost me $400 for those that aren't familiar, so the surprise(s) are on somewhat of a tight budget. :frown: I'd really appreciate any help or suggestions that anyone may have to give. I'll definitely be giving my own spin on things, but a little help would be greatly appreciated. :smile:

*It doesn't even have to be a gift, but more of a surprise of sorts if that makes sense.*

    Android app guitar Tap $5 finds tabs on the internet and then scrolls the lyrics by. You can change key, see chord shapes etc.

    Look at his guitar strap and get a similar but nicer one.
    Tooled leather around $40-50.

    I'd be all over the strap idea, but I've gotten him a nice guitar strap for a past holiday already. XD Thanks! :smile:

    A guitar stand, music stand, new cables, etc. are little accessories that musicians need but don't always want to buy. Each can be had for $10-$30.

    I really don't even have that much lying around to spend in addition, but I'd really like to put together some sort of romantic music related surprise rather than another gift. I really appreciate the thoughts and suggestions though. Thanks.

    A phone app is not that special, but it is really the best music related thing I have gotten in a long while.
    There is a free version but i got the $5.

    Searches the internet for tabs.
    Saves songs to phone's memory so you have them even without internet.
    Lyrics scroll by at whatever speed you set it for.
    You can transpose from original key to any other key.
    Shows diagram for any tricky chords.
