Read more ...As the name implies, these links are for people who are interested in downloading backing tracks from their favorite songs. What are backing tracks? I’m glad you asked. Backing tracks are simply rhythm tracks. They’re designed to help you develop your chops and are a great tool for helping you hone your lead phrases and develop your improvisation skills. Special thanks to bobo808 and cricketrider for turning me on to both these sites.
GT member, bobo808, brought this very useful resource from autotransposer.com to my attention. Got a song with a key that is unmanagable, but you’re unsure how to change it. This handy tool does the job for you.

Anyway, Tim is a former…

The source of my angst was due to the fact that I was ordering this guitar without having played it first. Something, I never, never….(here, I’ll say it again) NEVER do. But without a local Ibanez dealer, I really felt my hands were tied. So it was with some trepidation that I ordered my Ibanez Prestige.

It was good guitar for the money, but it wasn’t an exceptional instrument. Still, compared to its predecessors, that Alvarez was solid gold—a good value, and I played the snot out of it.
