This site is very graphical and gives a good explanation of how to set up the fiddle, tune it etc. as well as providing some good beginner/intermediate lessons on specific tunes. It mostly focuses on bluegrass/traditional tunes such as red haired boy, whiskey before breakfast etc.
Similarly, it has good lessons for mandola, mandolin, violin, guitar and banjo.

I presume this site is in Italian, but there are a lot of English lyrics on it. You have to choose from the alphabetical listing.
Lyrics are separated out by album and the search results come up quite quickly.

This is a fairly simple, small lyrics site.
Just make sure you scroll down past the ads to view the search results.

Even though the search function is a bit hard to figure out, this is a good lyrics site. It doesn’t quite have the genre crossover that some other sites have, but for certain artists it has a huge number of lyrics available.
For some reason it brings up irrelevant information if you do a search by artist name, so you have to choose from the alphabetical list instead when conducting a search.

This is a well designed site that’s pretty easy to use.
It also shows the top 10/20 music charts for Europe, U.K., the U.S. and the World Top 20.

The site is a little text-heavy, but the search function is easy to use and the results come up quickly.
They also have a mirror site called rlyrics.com (same site with slightly different layout).

A pretty good site, though sometimes the search results take a while to come up.
They have an interesting page which displays the number of times the top 50 songs have been accessed.

A wide range of lyrics spanning different genres are available.
But, there a few too many pop-up ads which detract from the site and make it slightly annoying to use the site.
