Steve Vai is set to release his famed Naked Tracks on CD for the first time. Previously only sold as digital downloads only, Vai wanted to give something for the average fan to practice with.

“Through the years, whenever I would mix my records I would usually do a mix of specific songs without the lead guitar. This allowed me to play along with the track or make loops to jam to, and because I figured perhaps someday maybe others would like to do the same,” explains Vai. “Voila! We have arrived at someday!”

Included in the set are 5 CD’s featuring backing tracks from the following albums:

• Passion And Warfare
• Sex & Religion
• Alien Love Secrets
• Fire Garden
• The Ultra Zone
• Alive In An Ultra World
• Real Illusions: Reflections

You can download the liner notes, transcripts, tab, lead sheet and scores all available soon at www.vai.com/nakedtracks.
