Useful music web links

[alfstone]

Hi,

I don't know if someone else has already done such a thread on SC...anyway, the idea is to share web sites that are (or could be) useful for us.

The first two coming to my mind are:

Wikifonia

http://wikifonia.org/

with lots and lots of scores, freely downloadable as .pdf files

and, for those who love jazz (I am one of these...)

RealBook Site:

http://www.realbooksite.com/

this one is very useful because, apart the score in RealBook style, at the top of the page there's for each song the possibility to listen to the music. This way following the score while listening to the music is much more easier...

Enjoy!

thanks Alfredo, all this sounds great.

the only site I've got mind right now isn't useful at all. You will waist lots of time laughing instead of playing music, so don't visit guitar fail : http://www.guitarfail.com/
