Guitar Reviews by Sharon Bakula

1. The Little Book Of Music Theory: An Essential Introduction To The Language Of Music ·
   A clear, concise introduction to the language and concepts of music theory, which can be read straight through as an overview of the subject, then tucked into the old gigbag to serve as a handy reference. (And it's small enough to fit in there, ...(more)

2. Collect Guitars ·
   This site is loads of fun to look at, but I gave it a 4 instead of a 5. Why? Because of the lack of information provided about the guitars. Don't just show me a gallery of pictures and say "These are Fenders"...tell me a little bit about each on...(more)

3. Taylor Big Baby ·
   I wanted a guitar that sounded good and was easy to play, and I didn't have a lot of money to spend. The Big Baby came highly recommended, and I didn't run across anything I thought sounded nearly as good that didn't cost a whole lot more. The s...(more)

4. Hanson *shudder* ·
   The person who originally posted this resource said, "This is a site from me to the ladies." Well, I resemble that remark (although I can attest to the fact that not all Hanson fans are female and we're sure as heck not all little girls)! ;op An...(more)

5. Steve's Beatles Page ·
   If you're looking for lyrics to a Beatles song, this is the place. It's also a good site for finding out about things like the dates various tracks were recorded, which album(s) a particular song appeared on, and song anomalies. The site also ha...(more)

6. Hanson Hotel ·
   Despite the somewhat cutesy name, this is NOT a cutesy, teeny bopper website. Honored by the band themselves as an outstanding fan site, the Hotel is known throughout the Hanson fan community for the comprehensiveness and accuracy of its content...(more)

7. Rock & Roll Museum And Hall Of Fame ·
   This site would be a very enjoyable stop for anyone with a serious interest in the history of rock & roll, imo. In addition to basic information for prospective visitors to the Rock Hall (location, hours, admission price, descriptions of exhibit...(more)

8. Taylor Guitars ·
   This is an absolutely lovely site, imo. It is attractive, well-designed, easy to navigate, and packed with information. If you're guitar shopping (or just doing a little virtual window shopping), it's a breeze to research and compare the feature...(more)

9. Musicians Friend ·
   Too bad there's not a box to check for "Uneven." When this site is good, it's very, very good, but it does have its rough spots. There is definitely tons of stuff here along with a powerful search engine for sifting through it, but information o...(more)

10. Shannon Curfman ·
    A nicely designed and informative site for this talented young (16 as of July 31, 2001) blues/rock guitarist and vocalist. Not updated as often as I'd like, but you can't have everything.

11. Guitar Case Chord Book by Peter Pickow ·
    I bought this book when I was just starting to learn to play, thinking it would be a handy reference for looking up unfamiliar chords. But it actually turned out to be something a bit different. It does show the fingering for lots of chords, but...(more)

12. The Rough Guide To Acoustic Guitar: The Essential Tipbook by Hugo Pinksterboer ·
    This book is a guide to the purchase, care and use of acoustic guitars, focusing primarily on their physical characteristics. Examples of topics covered include the anatomy of the acoustic guitar (including a thorough description of the differen...(more)

13. Spirit Into Sound: The Magic Of Music by Mickey Hart ·
    This book won't make you a better guitar player, but it may just put you in closer touch with what it means to be a musician. With the assistance of Fredric Lieberman, Grateful Dead Drummer Mickey Hart has gathered a collection of quotations tha...(more)
