Does anyone know where I can get backing tracks (the song without the lead guitar) for any Steve Vai songs? I especially need Tender Surender.

Thanks in advance.

I know where you can get midis.. :)
That's not helping you, eh? But if you want to check them out, download Guitar Pro and then visit http://www.mysongbook.com and get some Vai's tabs...

No, I'm not looking for midis, but thanks anyway...
I'm looking for something like an MP3. High quality sound. I'd be willing to pay money for them if there's a CD I could buy with them or something like that.

if you buy the alien love secrets tab book, it comes with a cd of backing tracks for all the songs on the album, including of course....Tender Surrender! I'm amazed at myself that i haven't bought it yet.

Ah, ekstasis16, thank you a million times over!!!

Where can I get this tab book? I haven't seen it at the local music stores (if anyone here is from Lousiana like me, you'll know that the music stores around here are few and far apart, without too much in them).

Steve Vai: Guitar Styles and Techniques is a book + cd available on Amazon.com. This is a tab book with a cd of backing tracks, but the site doesn't include a song list. Does anyone know if Tender Surrender is on the CD?
