GBAtemp
GBAtemp is an independent game community which started with ROMs for the Game Boy Advance. It's one of the oldest game hacking sites out there, and it has a variety of articles (including my own) on Rock Band.

Rock Band ScoreHero
ScoreHero is actually two sites. The original ScoreHero site is dedicated to Guitar Hero talk and customs, but then they made a separate site dedicated for the Rock Band series. The forums are probably the most useful, as it allows for all kinds of talk about everything Rock Band related. This is also where Harvey found StackO's original guide (he calls himself Koetsu on there).

Rock Band ScoreHero is in bad need of updating. If you have forum-editing skills, consider asking the admins if you can help them fix up their site.
FretsOnFire Fan Forum
Originally, this was for the free Guitar-Hero-like game Frets on Fire, but when the fan forums site was developed, people started talking about customs for it, and now the site has expanded to customs of all kinds. It also mentions Phase Shift, a program which works similar to FoF but also allows for real guitars.
