Tools of the trade: Versione Karaoke

Versione Karaoke is an italian website which provides karaoke versions of songs; the most important and useful thing is that once you bought the (cheap) song you can customize it, picking only the tracks that you want:

So you can, for instance, mute the guitar parts and play along with the track. You can also change pitch and add a nice metronome sound. Neat, isn't it?

Tools of the trade: Guitarist Reference

There are tons of pretty good tools for a guitarist of the modern era, out there. If you are looking for a quick reference (chords, scales, arpeggios) here you are Guitarist Reference. Available as a Chrome Plugin and a classic web site it can help finding what you need quickly. I'd rather have the guitar fretboard in horizontal view, but you can't have everything, right?
