Guitar Reviews by Darryl Roberts

21. Stone Dragons Guitar Site ·
    Stone Dragon has outdone himself. As impressed as I was with his contributions to WholeNote, I wasn't prepared for the breadth, depth, and overall scope of this site. Should be a required site for all beginning guitarists, and HIGHLY recommended...(more)

22. Boston by Boston ·
    Boston was arguably the last great rock band of the 70's. Their debut album exploded on the scene, and it seemed there was no stopping them. Same with the second album. Sold out concerts, top of the world, then.... nothing, for nearly 20 years. ...(more)

23. Unplugged by Eric Clapton ·
    E.C. at his blues best. It doesn't get any better than this.

24. Unplugged by Eric Clapton ·
    Great tabs, and the CD is really helpful. Classic tunes. This gave me my introduction to slide playing. Learn this book, and you're ready to do an acoustic gig. More than that, learn this book and you'll have an arsenal of blues licks and techni...(more)

25. True Fire ·
    This is a great site with lots of free content, as well as the stuff you can buy. All for reasonable prices. The lessons are all first rate with excellent teachers. My single criticism would be that I have occasionally had problems with the soun...(more)

26. Ibreathemusic ·
    <b>UPDATE:</b> At the time of my original review in 4/02, the site was only 3 weeks old. It has come a LONG way in a short time, and is now more worth a visit than ever. They've earned their "5." My original review with a 4 rating follows.<br/><...(more)

28. Master Sessions by Brian May ·
    Very well put together video lesson. May shows that he is a good teacher as well as a great player. The lesson on the acoustic version of "Love of My Life" is worth the price alone. A must for Queen fans, and anyone wanting to expand their horiz...(more)

29. ART ·
    Not only is the site good, but I'd like to also put in a plug for their products. I bought my first ART rack unit (a reverb) a few years ago, and I have recommended them ever since. I highly recommend them for the player with a tight budget. For...(more)

30. Live at the Regal by B.B. King ·
    You know what's scary? B.B. says that night wasn't really anything special - it was just a fair representation of where he was as a performer at that point in time, on that tour. If this is average, then the man must be terrifying when he's havi...(more)

31. Caged System - WholeNote Lesson ·
    This was one of the first lessons I read when I discovered WholeNote, and it's still one of my favorites. A clear and understandable explanation of a very useful system of playing. Well worth the time it takes to learn.

32. ActiveBass.com ·
    A perfect companion to WholeNote. The same high quality and vibe you've grown to love on WholeNote. Recommended for bassists AND guitarists.

33. Guitabulary by Keith Wyatt, Dave Rubin, Nick Bowcott and Brad Carlton ·
    This is a truly amazing program. It covers theory in a very user-friendly fashion, has dozens of awesome examples in mp3 format, with accompanying text in PDF files. There are over a hundred hours worth of lessons here. The program comes on a si...(more)

34. An Online Course In Songwriting ·
    I found this to be a very interesting and well-written site. It appears to be a personal site rather than a professional one, and the layout and design are satisfactory. The quality here is in the content, however. This is not a theory site, it ...(more)

35. Live 1 On 1 Guitar Lessons ·
    You're in for a real treat. The quality of everything I looked at on this site was first-rate. Rather than simple audio clips, this one actually includes video demonstrations of each example. (QuickTime download required, link available on site....(more)

    Weird. This site is weird. Very, very weird. Just go. Please. Go. Weird. In the best way. You'll like it or hate it, but either way...just...go.

37. Escape by Journey ·
    Platinum, nine times over. This was the album that defined my senior year ('81-82) in high school. "Don't Stop Believin'" was our class song, the "A" side of the album* got constant airplay, it seemed, and none of us got tired of it. Just one gr...(more)

38. Medtar ·
    A truly amazing project by a truly amazing WholeNote member, Rex Jones. I'll be very straightforward - the site itself is cute, but simple and utilitarian. What makes it worth visiting is its content. Medtar is an organization that takes "pre-lo...(more)
