There aren't tons of songs but there are some pretty cool tracks. I love hearing how different and imperfect some tracks sound on their own, yet once you layer the other stuff over it everything blends and sounds perfect. Our ears play amazing tricks on us (well, mine do on me). Hearing (somewhat) individual tracks brings out some cool bits and colors you may not have noticed before.

Thanks, this is great. Wouldn't it be great if we could isolate bass tracks from any album. I think it requires a master to do that right?
Contrary to what James Bond says, a good Gibson should be stirred, not shaken.

To really do it you need the multi-track recording, though even then older stuff would have stuff bounced down on reduction tracks. I find this kind of stuff fascinating.

That is very cool.  The Rock Band series of games, which I've never actually played, have made it possible to hear tons of tracks from tons of songs... the games apparently come with multitrack Ogg files.  People figured out how to extract the tracks from the game DVDs and often they show up on youtube (search for "isolated bass" and a lot of what turns up is from Rock Band).    This guy probably got his material from the same source. But putting it on an easy-to-use interface like this is a clever and really useful idea.

Personally I think the availability of the Rock Band tracks, and now this web thingy, is a fantastic development. You can learn a lot about how arrangements are put together and how the individual details relate to each other. And how parts you think you've known your whole life are actually quite different.

Now if only somebody would get hold of tracks for "Funkentelechy"...

Roger's Ric sound (which he disliked for being "too noisy and distorted, not American enough in my ears") is a dream come true.

The song is dun-dun-duh and the bassist ...
