Mrs I Heart Guitar recently introduced me to a site called eMusic, which seems pretty heavily stocked with downloadable ablums by a huge range of artists, especially guitarists. So far I've downloaded John McLaughlin's Floating Point, Andy Timmons' Resolution, Richie Kotzen's Return of The Mother Head's Family Reunion, and Steve Vai's Passion And Warfare Naked Tracks (which includes tracks from the album minus the lead guitar, so guitarists can jam over the songs), and Alien Love Secrets (when I originally ripped the disc to MP3 years ago I did it at way too low a bitrate, and now the CD is in a box somewhere, so now I have a much nicer sounding version). The tracks are DRM-free and will play on an iPod. I used the trial to get the Vai Naked Tracks 100% for free, but totally legally. I'm going to buy the hell out of the rest of the Vai Naked Tracks just for a start, then I'm going to embark on my fusion eductation.

Doug Rappoport's BIONIC is also at eMusic. Check it out!
Andy Timmons is the realll deal.
There are many good Mike Keneally albums on eMusic, as well as some of the Adrian Belew stuff. Even one single Pat Travers record.
Yeah, I noticed there was an eMusic-exclusive Keneally live album from the same tour that yielded the Guitar Therapy album.
I got a bunch more stuff on eMusic on Wednesday: Lynch-Pilson, Nuno's Population One, Michael Wilton's Soulbender side project, another Vai 'Naked Tracks' album (Fire Garden/Ultra Zone), Joe Bonamassa, and I think there's something else too that I've forgotten for the moment. Next month I'm going to pick up some Reeves Gabrels and some Belew.
