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.

Instituteofbass.com

March 21, 2007

A useful site with 22 lessons from 4 artists. The site is aimed specifically at the art of contemporary bass playing and the study of bass tradition. The articles under each lesson are extensive and informative. However, a few of the lessons don’t have tablature which could cause a problem for those who don’t read music.

Guitarteacher.com

An interesting lessons site which also offers free group lessons over the internet. There are quite a few good lessons for free in the archives section, although some of the links are broken. Most of the lessons have audio as well which makes it easier to follow. You have to install their plug-in to hear the audio files.

They sell CDs on various styles for $10.99 each.
