We´ve just downloaded Whispering a Prayer from Steve Vai´s Naked Tracks version of Alive in an Ultra World, and have been murdering what is a lovely tune ever since. If you know the track you´ll be aware that it´s main melody revolves around Vai´s use of his Sustainer-equipped Ibanez JEM, so we got hold of a Fernandes Retrorocket, tuned to E and dove (dived? doved?) right in.
The Naked Tracks concept provides classic Vai tunes with all lead guitars removed by the man himself. They´re official and a great way of testing just how good you are on the guitar and, if you´re us, you´ll realise just how good he is.
Put it this way: we won´t be tackling K´m-Pee-Du-Wee just yet...
