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.

Land of Lyrics

April 3, 2007

The layout of the site is a bit cheap and nasty with moving banner ads and large sized print.

It separates the searches out by album name, but depending on the album there are sometimes no songs listed.

There is a very small forums and articles section on the site.
