Unique gift ideas for the guitar player, musician or rock fan in your life.

 

If your special guy loves to play the guitar or watch his favorite band rock the night away, you can be sure that he is passionate about two things: you, and music.

A musician friend of mine, a guy who's been around rock since the 70's, partied with George and Ringo and toured with Joni Mitchell, once told me "When you're playing with a band and the house is rockin, there's no bigger high."

Get Your Groove On 

While not every musician might agree with that sentiment, it does illustrate one point. Playing or listening to great guitar music is an intense gig. So here are some unique rock n' roll gifts for your guitar god. Many of these items are unique to the web--you won't see them at the mall.

Layla 

One of rock's most soulful love songs

Rock musicians are generally passionate souls. Sometimes difficult, often complicated and usually emotional, they live their art and map the trials of their hearts in their songbooks. From gentle ballads to heavy metal anthems, they lay their love on the line. And there is no finer example of the ability of a rock song to capture the desperation of love than Eric Clapton's monumental classic "Layla."

Clapton's raw, melodic and haunting plea to Pattie Boyd, then the wife of George Harrision, remains one of the most mesmerizing anthems of rock. The poignant piano coda, written by Jim Gorden, that comprises the second movement of the song, is masterful.

It's hard to believe it now, but when released in 1970 as the title track to Derek and the Dominoes album "Layla and Other Assorted Love Songs," this brilliant work generated little enthusiasm. Yet almost forty years later, it remains one of the defining love songs of the rock catalog.
