Happy holidays I hope you all get a sweet guitar. I know a bunch of people who will certainly be getting one from me next week... stay tuned \M/

Best wireless guitar story: my local family owned guitar shop back in my old neighborhood, the owner’s son and guitar tech Mike was trying to sell a wireless system to someone. The guy asked “but, really, how far can I go?” Mike grabbed a red strat, plugged in, started playing and walked outside… and kept walking as we all watched him walk almost 3 blocks away, perfect sound, no drops, no interference. Mike made that sale.

The circle stem on the multi-tool is for a lanyard so you can attach it to a gig bag, belt loop, or whatever and it wont get lost.

The scar is honestly sick af. It gives you an edge. I’ve always loved your content and playing and now you’re the guitar scar guy.

Oh..as an electronics repair engineer i feel the need to point out way better and more long lasting way to apply 'deoxit'.. Trying to get it properly in through the axle is not good.. on some pots it may go in to resistive track a bit, but you have way better chance having the pot working if take out the plate and try to get the stuff in where the wire lugs go in..or some pots have a punched hole for internal rotation limiter where you can get the stuff in.. and you should flush the pot with 'dry' agent (like an isopropanol, ethanol, ipa spray.. i'm not familiar with 'deoxit' brand..that sounds like the stuff to me but may well be greasy which is not optimal at this stage..)..maybe couple of times.. stuff in..yank the pot with full rotation multiple times.. add cleaner.. twist the knob..and so on.. Finally we need a very small amount of greasy stuff in.. i can recommend wd40, but only very slight puff..and then last twisting..! First chemical will clean the resistive track inside, and the last puff with 2nd greasy chemical will protect it from getting reoxidiced.. Oh..and some pots have special lubrication in axle..applyin cleanet thru it may flush the lubricant away and into the wrong place! Also last puff must be concervative..we don't want it so much that it'll start collecting gunk.. With these tips you may get *very* bad pots working like charm that you already thought were needing a replacement.. of cource if there is mechanical failure inside, eg loosened connecting rivet, etc. there is nothing you can do other than replacing the pot.. Happy Christmas time!! -Hipihei

That detune pedal is such a Quality of Life sort of thing. I very much would enjoy a product like that to ensure different tuning but not at the expense of my strings. Cheers and Happy Holidays

The best gift is your ears. Take the time to listen to the guitarists in your life. No gadget comes close to the value of personal attention. Thoughts from an old man. Cheers.

Thank you dude! Super helpful for gifts for my band mates! Also the best gift is probably a 1960s Olympic white American made strat.

Bought the strap lock while the video was still playing. Stoked

On the flip side of this, watch out for gear that’s gonna frustrate somebody, especially a new player. Nothing will discourage your nephew from learning guitar like a guitar that won’t stay in tune.

The circle thing on the multitool is for attaching it to a keychain or retractable cord for a tool belt etc.

I got a pair of Rok Lok from the guys at the NAMM show. They are so freak'n easy to use. You have no idea whatta game changer these strap locks are.

Gift idea, try a Black Mountain thumb pick. It is a total game changer for those out there that use thumb picks. I bought mine and have never looked back, great for all styles of playing.

A wireless system is definitely a great gift idea for those who don't have one. Made my practice time a lot easier for sure.

The Rok Loks are already on the way...what a great thing!

Concert posters are always a good idea!

There I fixed it. 1: new guitar 2: new guitar 3: new guitar 4: new guitar 5: new guitar 6: new guitar 7: new guitar 8: new guitar 9: new guitar 10: guitar pedal if you're cheap like that

I have 2 roklok sets and they are great. can turn any strap into a locking strap.

Try this - do some asking/snooping and find the strings/picks your gift recipient uses and get those. I'd be touched if I recieved a set of Thomastic flat .12s or pickboy tortoise shell jazz 150s. That is a truly thoughtful gift. Not just feeding the gear money machine.

My wife got me a PRS SE 24-08 for our anniversary a couple years ago. I guess I'll keep her. 😛

A looper pedal would be a good gift too.

I just became your student. Thank you for the affordable price. When you stated this course is your life's work, I am immediately sold. I have huge respect for musicians who attended Julliard. I also laugh out loud at your humor.

Great cause Tyler! I donate to St. Judes every year! Great gift ideas too!

The absolute best, most amazing gift ever in my opinion, and that is if I can afford it... GUITAR KITS!!! hell yea, super dope xmas gift idea... and then maybe a nice set of quality pickups and locking tuners to go along with it...

PRS, just have a hardware store grind the screw heads down a bit, and you can use the same screws with the Dunlop straplock buttons.

Not gonna lie that scar looks pretty badass.

Awesome! I've already forwarded to my wife. Only thing I'd say about the Rok-Loks is that depending on the shape of your guitar, the finish, etc, the plastic will eventually leave marks on the finish. If you have "that pristine guitar that doesn't have a scratch on it", these or clip-lock straps will eventually scuff up a spot on your guitar around the buttons over time (purely based on my experience; your mileage may vary). I've already written a letter to Santa for the NUX wireless; too bad I think I'm already on the naughty list.

Those headstock tuners make for a good stocking stuffer too.

i’d say that a looper pedal is good for beginners because you can practice playing with another guitar. you can have chords playing to improvise over them as well

I have to say...the Rock Locks seemed intriguiing, so I got some. They're much better than I was expecting. Work well on a stretched out strap, and actually easier for me to put on/remove from the guitar. I'd say anyone should have a pair or two.

Deoxit is seriously amazing. It really works wonders. And the whole claim that it "improves connectivity" is 100% accurate. I had a faulty pickup selector that would sometimes cause the signal to completely cut out. I was positive it was just bad wiring and I'd have to pay to have it rewired. But one spray had it working absolutely perfectly. Smooth and silent. It also fixed my scratchy as hell volume knob so I could finally make subtle volume adjustments without pulling my hair out. A few sprays of deoxit and my guitar was back at 100%. Lastly I used it on a 25 year old crybaby wah that had decades of dust inside rendering it unusable.due to loud scratchy pots, and guess what? It fixed it

11° gift, seldom mentioned: a cable tester! 🤩 Not all the guitar players own and are able tu use a multimeter or carry it in their tool bag for live performances.

That ring on the multitool is for a keyring.

That round thing on the multitool is called a lanyard loop. Its so you can put a splitring hoop and use it as a keychain, or make a neck strap or a tie down for your shop area so you dont misplace it. Tons of uses.

+1 to the Digitech Drop. If you are in a cover band, and don’t have one of these, you are missing a huge bit of convenience.

I got a free set of those roc locks from the inventor at NAMM 23 super nice guy! Really good design works soooo good works with any style type of guitar knobs. 🤘😎🎸

Just signed up for your guitarsupersystem . Looking forward to diving in.

it doesn’t feel like christmas time until i see this video 😎❤️🤣

I'll be getting a Guitar Super System subscription for the holidays! Can't wait!

And of course the best gift of all is a new guitar

Can confirm on the NU-X transmitters. Bought mine about a year and a half ago and I love em!

At 4:07, I think that little tab is meant for you to hang the tool off your keys

Sadly the Digitech Drop or any drop pedal sounds terrible at home, unless you play at a high volume. The problem is when you hear the acoustic sound of your electric guitar, and the changed tuning through the amp simultaneously.

As a late convert, I'd add a gift voucher for a luthier to this list. A good set up can make a world of difference to a guitar and it helps me to know that there's nothing wrong with the guitar. It's all me 😂

Great ideas .I would add Marshall or Fender amp key holders that come with guitar plug key rings that plug in .Very reasonable and on the site that is a S.American river

BTW nice nod to the Casino Ballroom. 5 of the 10 best concerts I've ever seen have been there!

Okay, that REALLY made me want a wireless setup.

That DigiTech Drop pedal looks cool but it must be a mind-F hearing the acoustic string pitch.

Oh wow I'm suprized your first concert was sevendust. I love that. They where my 3rd ever live performance and they are awesome live.

Excellent suggestion for the concert ticket.

hey tyler, thanks for another awesome video!!!

Deoxit= amazing

Merry Christmas

Dunlop sharp picks are so good. I got a pack last christmas and I've been playing hard with just one so it's getting worn out, which on those picks is essentially just turning it into a regular guitar pick.

Best gift I ever got was a 60's Les Paul Standard last year for Christmas.

Good strings

The perfect gift will always be "the burst", a real 1959 Les Paul.

That pick is not made of stone.. It's torlon, a super expensive thermoplastic. Fun fact, they made a car engine out of it!

That scar looks like it's healing nicely!! Appreciate you, bro!

The only issue with the Digitec Drop is it seems to have a little bit of trouble when multiple notes are ringing out on top of each other, like in Come As You Are

The multi tool is awesome. I've had one for years. Gave a couple as presents.

The circular tool might be for tightening loose nuts on tuning pegs/output jacks?

Great Gear Choices Thanks!

Time to replace that kemper rack with an axe fx iii lol

A leather hard case made for your guitar is always a great gift.

D'dario pro string winder. It has everything you need and I absoleutly love it. It is honestly one of my favorite guitar accesories. It is a great stocking stuffer and I would love to see it in next years vid. @MusicisWin

To hell with the gifts, let's talk about how and where you got that PRS semi-hollow single-cut 594.

Happy Holidays Tyler. Love the album 💿 bro. 🤘🎸🤘

Got my father in law a spark go, the fella absolutely loves it to death

I think the number 1 spot should be.. A true vintage '59 Strat along with a Dumble amp 🤣

thats a lanyard hole on the multi tool, a lot of multi tools do that

Gonna compare your Centaur to the JHS NOTACENTAÜR?

Hello, I was wondering if you could share the name brand of the strap you are using with the Rok-Lok strap locks? My son really liked that strap. Thanks!

omg I was at that concert. I've seen Sevendust 13 times. usually the palladium in Worchester. or the Avalon or house of blues in Boston. you live right near me don't you..

That's a gnarly scar man

You look slimmer! I liked

Hey Tyler, just for curiosity, how many people are subscribed to Guitar Super System? (Including myself of course lol best course ever)

Hampton Beach Casino Ballroom is such a damn good venue!

Alternative to the digitech drop tune is the pitchfork from ehx

Ahh the perfect gifts... ...for myself

Merry Christmas dudes 🤘🏿

ring slide and steinless thin picks = game changer!

Woo! JHS shout out! I love their stuff

This one is pretty expensive but I saw a bluetooth speaker in the shape and branding of a Marshall Amplifier. I thought it would make a great gift for listening to music but its prices are $200 - $300 online :/

Yes on concert tix

unpopular opinion but the best guitar pick is blue dans guitar store guitar picks or Ernie ball prodigy picks

For Christmas I'm being myself a strymon timeline

Great list, apart from the picks - got to be 1.14 Dunlop Tortex Flow 😀

that scar is healing up real good

I treated myself to an SE Silver Sky this year

Pretty sure that circle tool on the multi-tool is a bridge pin remover.

Hello brother. Make sure you have positive ventilation in your garage. Low level chemical fumes from gasoline are bad news for long term good health. That wheeler will exude fumes for sure.

OMG, the ring thing on the multi tool is a keychain link due to a manufacturer. Wow...

hope one day you can get up to the clifton park new york guitar center my 10 year old son would love a chance to win a guitar he is pretty good answering your questions have a merry christmas

Hey, a new 1959 Gibson Les Paul standard or a new PRS S2 would be a nice gift.

I am the guitarist in the family I asked for the KH signature crybaby wah pedal

Best gift for a guitar player? A gift card to their favourite guitar store Then you won’t get them something they don’t want, or have enough of, etc

the best gift you could give me for Christmas is to rerelease Nashville noises

The stew mac fret end file…best 15 bucks you’ll ever spend 😎

special strap cutom
