It's a Wonderful Time To Be a Guitarist

When the urge strikes to learn a new song, you can generally find the lyrics and guitar chords for it on the internet. How cool is that? Especially when the album notes for the CDs you buy don't provide lyrics for the songs inside.

Maybe you've noticed there's such a wealth of resources online, it can take a while to sort them out. That's precious time you could be practicing your singing, picking and strumming. I've taken a tour for you and here's what I found.

A Six-Pack of Lyrics and Guitar Chords Sites

Let's start with a great site with top 20 song lyrics and guitar chords for the day plus the top 100 for the week. Do you think that might keep you singing and chording for awhile?

It gets better. They add up to 1000 new song lyrics, guitar chords and tabs daily. As of today, they have over 400,000 songs lyrics and guitar chords. If they don't have what you're looking for, ask. They also have Russian lyrics! www.lyrics-p.com/

Another big site that provides lyrics and guitar chords has a very active forum, lessons and membership--all free. Would you believe...

* 50,670 active members
* 250,795 forum posts
* 300,68 tabs and lyrics

They're well on their way to reach their goal of being "the ultimate music resource." www.thetabworld.com/

How about a site where you can get the lyrics and guitar chords for your favorite rock songs? They have songs from...

* 56 bands
* 4624 guitar tabs
* 1929 guitar chords
* 3573 bass tabs

We're talking songs from a long list of bands starting with 311, AC/DC, Aerosmith and the Beatles and going all the way to The Who, Eddie Van Halen, Robbie Williams and Neil Young.

Then there's the Guitarguy. He put the lyrics and guitar chords online for golden classic songs because he didn't see them anywhere else. He includes songs by the likes of Frank Sinatra, Tony Bennett, Mel Torme, Dean Martin and Brenda Lee.

Other songs on the site are there just because he likes them, like the Glenn Miller instrumental "Cherokee." Why does he like them? Because they're good songs, fun to play and you just don't hear them on the radio much or at all. www.theguitarguy.com/home.htm

We're moving from one kind of timeless classics to another. Have you seen the calendar? It's once again time to learn your Christmas songs. Here's a good list of lyrics and guitar chords for get-togethers with family and friends and Christmas programs you're involved in.

Last, but not least, do you love bossa nova? Here's a site created by a guitarist, singer, songwriter and performer named German Bense where he shares the lyrics and guitar chords of his songs on-line and out in the world.

Check out the songs from three albums. His latest song is on video so you can see and hear him. www.bensebossanova.com/english/lyrics-chords-guitar.htm

That's a good running start with enough songs to keep you busy quite a while, so stock up on guitar strings. Check back with these sites again when you're ready for more lyrics and guitar chords.
