Listening to a killer guitarist is awesome (and listening to a killer guitarist while exercising can be beneficial to your health)...but what about listening to just the guitarist? The only correct answer is, "YEEEEAHHH!!!!!"

The wonders of technology (specifically, multi-track recording) makes it possible to isolate a specific instrument. It's a great way to learn the guitar part from the masters themselves. It's also a way to better appreciate Hall of Fame talent. Below are 12 isolated tracks. A simple Google search will find even more. Cheers!
