"What to say? Original tracks to jam on. Brilliant. Its not one of those Sessions Presents the Recorded Versions of Jim Neighbors(Performed by the Countdown Singers)type thing('Jim Neighbors Naked'? Yikes!). No Jamey Abersold here. Well worth the money. Remember, if you can't play like Vai yet, don't kill yourself trying. Just jam along, make up your own melodies, use the original melodies, then work in your own riffs, scales, etc. Take it easy. When you get to that Vai level, then get the transcriptions. Remeber, the last thing people want to hear is a Vai clone, like that guy who 2nd placed the Gutiarmageddon at the Crossroads in Dallas. Granted the winner was a Michael Hedges clone, which I thought was lame, though he was good. Whatever. You get my point. Good solos aren't always about speed. Take the first solo on 'Comfortably Numb'. Few notes, brilliant. Speaking of 'Naked' Beatles fans check out 'Let it Be Naked'. Its awesome. All the bs Phil Spector on it is removed to reveal what the feuding Beatles(McCartney, basically) wanted."
