Folk of the wood

April 3, 2007

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.

Testimania

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.

Sing 365

April 3, 2007

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.

They also have a mirror site called rlyrics.com (same site with slightly different layout).

They have an interesting page which displays the number of times the top 50 songs have been accessed.

MP3 Lyrics

April 3, 2007

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.
