Thx for watching.
I like how he takes time to mention the name of the member of his band. What a humble soul.
The scariest part is, no matter how fast or insanely technical he plays, he always makes it look like he could play it twice as fast. He looks so natural when he plays
And he could do the same on keyboard!
@@wattage2007 Absolutely! And it’s such a shame that there isn’t a lot of footage of him playing piano/keyboard, because he’s one of the best on that instrument as well! 😁
PLUS he had terrible arthritis in his hands. His whole career.
that is the mark of a true virtuoso. everything is effortless for them.
I can play the tune-up perfectly
@DT C Yeah that part was weird
Did you get the low E detune bend in?
Hahahaha biiiitch
I still have trouble with that🤓👌
Nah, I'm pretty sure you're way better than you think you are. Most guitar players ARE way better than think they are.
Dude was way ahead of his time🤧 if he was still alive and well today, he'd be one of the most renowned guitarists in the world.
For those who know, he is.
Shawn was such a beast.
As a kid, I was a total metal head. Then a friend of mine gave me three CDs. Powers Of Ten, MVP Gambale & Holdsworth, and Elegant Gypsy.
I was floored by all of it, but Powers Of Ten was beyond mind boggling. Like music from a different dimension, some sort of alien musical genius.
I couldn't believe anybody could play that fast and clean. I asked my buddy if Shawn was for real, or if he tracked that stuff and sped it up. He assured me Shawn was the real deal, and brought over this video.
I couldn't believe what I was seeing, and hearing. Shawn wasn't just a technical genius, he was a musical genius.
He pushed the guitar further than anyone before him, or after him.
I often wonder what musical wonders he would have given us if he had not left us so early.
R.I.P. Shawn.
He really is one of the only guitarists (Danny Gatton is also really good) who I think compares to Art Tatum's virtuosity and musical genius. You can tell how much he loved music from his playing
@@thomashightower7881yeah him and yngwie malmsteem are out of this world one in a billion type guys
His playing is the only thing keeping me going during the absolute shittiest time in my life. When I'm not working I play non-stop to try and distract myself from everything happening around me and as long as his music and lessons exist I will always have something to aim for, even if I never reach where I am headed.
Have things improved? What's so terrible?
God bless you brother keep your head high and never give up
Playing good guitar is a great achievement already ! Improving garanties work forever ! Enjoy !
Whatever it takes bro. Also look up Scotty West
One step at a time brother
No one can touch allan holdsworth or shawn lane in terms of skill and musicality. They were beyond everything. And shawn lane was an insane keyboard player to boot. Unreal
I mostly agree but check out Marshall Harrison here on youtube.
I would like to add Rusty Cooley..
@@carvinsmith8068 ...pfff....😄
@@carvinsmith8068 Rusty doesn't really cut it live though. Blazing speed when sitting down for his instructional stuff but live, he doesn't seem to pull it off.
Don't forget the maestro, Gambale.
Shawns drummer, Shawn Rickman, is smiling from ear to ear at the beginning of the video thinking. .."oh hell yes....I'm part of this"!!!!
Holy fuck, the bits where he runs over to the keys and slays that too are just unreal
It's so sweet watching a Supreme Genius try to explain things to little humans.
Man it would have awesome if Shawn got to do the third REH video. He said in an interview that the first two were just covering the basic mechanics and that the third installment would primarily deal with what to do with the technique and go in depth into his music making process. RIP Shawn your were a musical miracle to us all.
REH was the producer/manufacturer I believe.
Really? I didn't know that. What a shame. Imagine all the music he could have made, at least he made a massive impact.
Thanks for that comment brother!!
Wow, I'm not sure. If he had really stretched in that 3rd video my head would have most likely turned to pudding! Absolutely the best!
there is a video of shawn doing a clinic talking about eastern groupings , kind of like drumming rudiments , paradiddles , but he counts the eastern sylables , Takadimi , and there are many more .
Steve Smith the drummer from Journey fame , and Fusion jazz , also uses the same technique
Not only is his guitar playing unmatched, he’s just as good of a teacher. Slows it down so much (probably painfully for him) enough for just about anyone to understand.
There he is. . . The greatest of all time. No one can argue against the fact that he is the most technically skilled guitarist who ever lived.
Agreed!!
Guthrie Govan is in his league now
In fact, in my humble opinion Shawn Lane is not the most skilled guitar player ever. I mean, being fast in some patterns, repetitive and symetrical stuff is nothing to do with being the most Skilled in the guitar. What i see in Lane is a lack of creatiivity in his solos, if you listen one, you listen them all. That is because is very repetitive in his lines, a lot of 3 note per string. And the speed he got there is a lot of players who can reach it in a certain point on a solo. I give you some examples: John Petrucci in long track on first album by Liquid Tension Experiment. Petrucci gets crazy fast by combining 3 note per string and another note in other string. And he do it a lot in a lot os songs. Another one is Chris Impellitteri en his Speed Soloing video, Francesco Fareri and Rusty Cooley too. But there are still not the most skilled players ever who can make runs with difficult patterns in all the neck. Shawn Lane even not Sweep, how can be the mos skilled Player without making some good Sweeping stuff? The most skilled player ever in my opinion is Jason Becker. That guy was crazy in every aspect in the guitar, complete in all senses. Just watch Paganini caprice #5 version of Jason Becker and it's just tremendous. The is a momment where Becker gets 22 notes per second. And he is not just making normal runs and stuff, he is playing difficult patterns and shapes, stretch fingers, his fingers looks like a Giant Spider to me. Jason Becker is the god of the Arpeggios ( Sorry Frank ) Is the most gifted player ever, at age 16-17 was playing for Cacophony and creating SMS an album that is like the bible of shred. And when he was 18-19 make a solo album Perpetuak Burn that is a very challenging album in all senses, but not only for the skills and patterns, but is because the music, the feeling, this guy was in another planet. If Jasin could still play in these days he will be toying with all guitar players around the world. Just imagine, he is still composing, and there is not a single player right now after 30 years able to compose a sweep picking stuff better than Serrana Arpeggios of Becker. Marty Friendman said someday: Jason Becker minds in music and imagination is at the level of Mozart. You need to listen all his work to understand what i have just say. Unreleased demos, auditions for David Lee Roth, tje clinic in Atlanta, Cacophony stuff, rare videos, the greatest of all time. Cheers.
Jason Becker was no Mozart! Good player but the guy never wrote anything memorable! Sweep picking is the most boring technique and it always sounds like the player is playing an exercise.
ricomajestic It depends in your perception. I can say that playing repetitive patterns 3 notrs per string more than 5 seconds is bored too. Jason Becker wrote memorable stuff, Altitudes is not memorable being 18 years old? Air? And a lot of good solos for Cacophony. Being awarded "The best guitar player in the world in 1990" by Guitar magazine at 20 years old. Now just imagine what he will be doing now? And now he can not even play and he is still making music. That is not a genius? In fact, search the word Child Prodigy in Wikypedia and Jason Becker appears as long Mozart and others. ¿Sweep picking is bored? Well, then all classical pianist who played Arpeggios were bored too? Franz liszt? Chopin? Paganini? There is a sweep player in these days that is called Luca Turilli, he is Italian, was athe creator of Rhapsody band and his Arpeggios are very good, not random stuff like a lot of guitar players that only sweep without an intention an melodic, but his arpeggios are very melodic and sounds very good with a classical feel in order to achieve the mistycal feel in his fantasy compositions. And Serrana Arpeggios of Becker is a very nice tune to be honest, and it is fast as hell. Just imagine to compose that note by note? By the way, in the second session of the Atlanta Clinic in 1989 by Jason Becker in the second part he plays a lot of Blues stuff, he was moving in that style and combining his shred and skills with Blues it was just amazing. Becker was in another level. Search it, that clinic in youtube, it is only audio because it was never recorded. Do not confuse with the DVD Atlanta Clinic, that was recorded in video. I mean the second session. Cheers.
The greatest electric guitarist that's ever lived.
"Ok I just bought this instructional DVD from a guitarist called Shawn Lane" *inserts dvd* *Blasts of blazing speed augmented stretches emit* "Hmmm. *turns DVD* off" "Ok, let's start with this 12 bar blues DVD".
P99877654322217
Lol
This video isn't meant for beginners lol!!
the most dominant guitarist the world has ever seen.
I'm sry, but the image of Shawn running over to the keyboard to shred that insane lick, then running back to his place on stage to begin playing again, only to slowly start strolling back towards the keyboard non-challantly, will forever be hilarious to watch for me. Much respect for him tho, he had sick skill.
JackCarlino I think he ran towards his pedalboard. Either way, the note he then played was awesome!
This should be remastered and relesead on DVD or whatever format is available now.
His shout out to fellow guitarists Holdsworth and Metheny was so heartwarming. Shane rules!
Everytime i watch Shawn play i can't believe my eyes and ears. This is just beyond. Doubt there ever will be someone who can play like this. RIP.
there is, lookup marshall harrison he can play shawn lane speed and accuracy, he's flat out amazing
@bodd boward opinions...
@bodd boward Marshall harrison is shawn 2.0. Sorry you dont see that. His innovation of swbryd has taken guitar to another level that allows even intermediate guitarist the ability to play at ridiculous speeds. And if you want to talk about multi instrument ability marshall harrison also plays classical piano. His abilities span many styles and if you listen to his album presto digitation you would see that
Shawns technical speed was great but I don't think it was very clean. Other than that. His use of synthetical lines was out of this world.... so was holdsworth....
@bodd boward I don't think he was a strong mutter where you mute strings that aren't being played no. But a lot of jazz players don't. He Shawn liked an arch top where he could turn over his picking hand more and that lacks muting of the palm. I'm not saying it wrong. A lot of people play without proper muting. Marty Friedman, Zack Wilde, ect....
He plays the Alien scale
“The legend never dies, he influences other” shawn🎸😎
This guy was something else. Wish he were still here.
This guy plays more notes in one song than David Gilmour has played in his entire career.
Unfortunately Gilmour's Earning per note was much more higher than Shawn's... It’s an unfair world... 😢
Ill take Davids slow meaningful solos over this dudes playing.. Shawn makes me feel like I might have a seizure listening to him play.. so chaotic.😖
@@eldiablo3794 Shawn's playing is light years ahead of what most of us can imagine.
@@eldiablo3794 hell no David Gilmour so overrated. I never want to listen to him. I only want to listen to Shawn Lane. what he plays just sounds so good and so cool.
@@vanguard4065I love both. There's a time and a place for slow stuff and insane shred. That's why Buckethead is my fav guitarist guy can play like a monster but also has some really mellow stuff
Wow... High tech monster, he was electric guitar player sound like john coltrane. Absolutely true genius!!
Shawn Lane was an obscene Genius, that you and I will never understand.
His slowed down version of the solo is even more impressive than the fast version..which is awe inspiring.
His Interview at the end worth millions
The Get You Back chords he plays are sooo epic hahaha I can't get over it !! 29:10
That get you back lick after the song was out of this world. Hearing him play that raw is breathtaking.
One of THE most mind blowing guitarists and composers of all time. His songs were so insanely melodic that I don't think anyone else comes even close. BTW this video is GOLD....thank you for uploading.
He had a huge influence on most of the great modern guitarist, I can hear it and I know the timeline. But most of them have too much ego to ever admit it! He had no ego. Thank you brother Shawn!
No he didn’t. He haven’t made one single memorable riff or solo
@@LOLLYPOPPE Do your homework!!!
@@Chrisbell804 name a song he’s famous for?
@@LOLLYPOPPE Fame? LOL!!!
@@LOLLYPOPPE seriously ? You talking about fame ? What a poser this guy john is . Such a pus$y minded
Nobody will ever crack that code, he was truly one of a kind!
What a sweet dude.
Well I thought I was good at guitar.
You are my friend.
Shawn was otherworldly.
dont be like that, you are still great regardless of what you see right here! there still some people that cant even play the comfortably numb solo, so kind keep that in mind when you see people like shawn lane, allan holdsworth, and guthrie govan.👍
What an eye opener...I came across this video lesson many times but thought it would be too hard, but now just practicing the first fingering he shows i can already see a big progress in my playing in the near future! What an amazing player.
Yeah i wish the video was a little better quality. But i'm thankful for it. Hard to believe we used to watch TV and movies like that back in the 90's and think that was good quality. Seeing it now compared to todays HD and 4K makes you feel like you need glasses.
It really saddens me that the most gifted persons like Jason Becker and Shawn were taken away ot what they most love in this world. Sometimes I like to think, if Jason and Shawn would have done a jam, how the fuck it would have been? Man, if those two would have played together once, World would have exploded. So much speed! Now that chance has gone. The worst always happens to the good people...
jason aint dead yet... jeez
@@brucefouts974 and I never said he was.
You are so right ... Also often the most talented people have bad financial luck. Allan Holdsworth is an example of this. In his last years he was struggling to pay his bills and his health was declining as a result...
34:44 is actually scary. That finger stretch isn't human
Example 1 is scary. I never made it passed Example 2.
Sounds like a giant mount of shit
@@OuttakedPerformancesTM well you came to this video knowing what it was. Clearly can't play a bar of it and thought insulting it would make you feel better about your lack of abilities. Well done
@@joshmuz9018 Well, lol. I was actually talking about that first nonsense solos. Those are fucking shit. But the examples are cool. And I think I can play that. Eric Johnson and Greg Howe are my all time favorites. Greg Howe have some really complex stuff to teach us.
@@OuttakedPerformancesTM You can play that? Sure
I really like what he said about just focusing on making music, at whatever level you are currently. So many people, me included, worry too much about getting technically perfect first.
THE FIRST 60 seconds alone has harder licks than entire careers!
I've been playing since 1995. I love my 7 & 8 string guitars dearly. Shawn Lane's level of musicianship is just insane. It's awe-inspiring, intimidating, and futile, all at once. I feel like I'm an infant learning to crawl while, yep, there goes Shawn, zooming by in his Lear jet...one not just guitar, but piano too... :P
Eric Johnson-ish stuff really. Very cool, such a unique player and nice guy. No one has ever been able to duplicate Shawn's playing. Ever.
One of the only guitarists I've seen that comes close to his speed and articulation would be Michael Romeo.
Incredible emotion,technique,just on another level.So sad he left us so young.RIP
Speed and technique are achievable with practice. Its what you do with it to make music that differentiates an excercise vs a riif/song. Shawn Lane's thought process on phrasing is what puts him beyond. Original and out of this world. His ideas and concepts live on in many musicians pushing their own personal progressions. Regardless of opinions his legend lives on inspiring for future generations to come.
Agreed.. but also his speed and technique are second to none.
Love that tone he gets from the Charvel loaded with PAF pro's
So, the one thing I notice with Shawn besides everything else amazing is the space between his first and second finger is literally that of a fret and when stretching even more. So the first and second finger basically form half of a fulcrum with his pinky like a manic, high speed, espresso driven teeter totter. It's a thing of beauty. Then he's doing high speed tremelo picking in conjunction to perform scalar runs. He was amazing.
What an incredible guitarist Shawn Lane was...
I tried it, played every exercise perfectly then suddenly my fingers all fell off. I'm currently typing with my nose.
Looool
To say "not again" is impressive would be an understatement! The rest is too. It is mind-blowing!
Bless your soul,thank you.
You are welcome man! Check my band at ruclips.net/user/GoroWinsMusic
Best guitarist ever.Alien...not human.True perfection.Endless respect for a guitar genius.RIP gentle and tortured soul.
Just discovered Shawn Lane. Amazing. Funny thing is he looks like he has small hands but can pull off those huge stretches at unbelievable speed. How does he do it?which is encouraging to me as we tend to think players with long fingers and large hands have a physical advantage he proves that not to be the case
probably has something to do with stretching the hand span for piano as a child.
kind of like how children, male or female can do ballistic stretching for splits as children and achieve elasticity,where as past a certain age, no way.
also some people may have dynamic dexterity as a gift.
I personally am amazed at Shawn's 2 note per string pentatonics utilizing 3 and 4s 5s and 3s , 3s and sixes.
that alone is valuable, to work out picking for those sequences. Eric Johnson does that as well, where as many of his licks don't require stretching, but many players will do sequences of 5s, with a 3 note per string fretting technique. In this video, Shawn shows it is not necessarily the rule
I personally stay away from wide stretching, I used to do it, but it seems almost anything can be played with out wide stretches
I don't think he's got either small or large hands I think they're about average
Lane plays so fast that no normal performers in a band can even keep up ,so his playing just stands out even more his speed is out of this world probably never to be seen again, love them old charvel jackson original shredding machines.
Bruh... Starting right around @0:40, the look on the drummers face is so awesome. This drummer is beyond OG AF, and he can't contain his smile at how ridiculously badass Shawn is. Pure happiness.
Studying Shawn's unique fingering and positions are what have made me the player I am today.
Yeah, fingering (find the logic in it) is the ultimate goal to play smoothly guitar.
It is the essence.
I mastered example 2 and it only took me 2 YEARS, mostly figuring out the picking technique. Whenever i play that lick to my friends, make their jaws drop. Does worth it? Hell yeah.
Could you please tell me how he picked it? I've tried to figure it out myself but it just never really worked out
He is the only guitarist who is not of this world yet is so lovely ! He has realized the true power of music !! He has insane ideas yet he can play them so uniquely for the layman too ! I wish there were more musicians like him !!❤️🙏❤️
Dang , it never ceases to amaze me. It mud High School buddy from Memphis everyone lov s him he was so talented
34:36 ERROR - Brain does not compute - reinstalling windows...
Yea I literally drooled.
...the drumming here sounds much like my 5 year-old going bezerk on the kit in the basement😜😆
???
I never see Shawn tutorial so advanced for today and will still be valid for the future....
33:15 absolutely amazing jazzy chromatic stuff.
In Esperanto he plays a tremendous lick on keyboard and, after some minutes, he plays it again on guitar.
He was not human...
Power Solos and Power Licks taught me so much about guitar and just how to think about it. Forever grateful for his music
With all of Shawn's genius and understanding/Knowledge. He had no understanding that no other being on this planet had a clue what he was capable of doing.
One of my Heroes--met him in Warsaw, late 1990s--what a humble, brilliant soul. RIP, though he will live as long as there are people with neurons and guitars! Cheers!
I could never get into his music but damn, he was such an incredible guitar player and musician.
Well since you can't play guitar worth a shit...Shut up bitch...
Fucking part timers like you are stupid as fuck
@@jomama9445 Thanks for the constructive criticism. I always appreciate the opinion of accomplished and well known professional musicians such as yourself.
thanks for posting, not well enough known for the amount of talent he had
You are welcome!
Shawn is legend. My guitar hero. He is missed.
Man i never meet him but i love him like a brother!
Shawn was such a gifted musician. His speed was only one piece of his genious. A true master.
Agree this causes me as much pain as it does enjoyment. He's affected so many of us and its a damn shame he's gone. A really incredible player, tone, unearthly chops and so ahead of everything. I miss him all the time and put these clips on to kick my ass. RIP bud.
He seems to be a great guy; very humble and ungodly talented ! RIP brother.
He was from out of this world!
"Come easy to you overtime". Of course like thousand year. He was really one of best.
Thank you for this upload I had this vhs with booklet and it changed my life Shawn changed my view on pentatonics and my approach and application r.i.p my friend
"The incredible guitar style of Shawn Lane. Influenced by rock, blues, classical and jazz. And Doepfer A149-1 RCV Quantized Random Voltages."
Freaky fast hahaha amazing everything. Even has feel, classical, metal, fusion awesome. RIP
RIP Maestro you enlighten our lifes
Get you Back is one of my fave tunes of his.
Joel Rivard ( shrapnel records artist)shows some of Shawn's coolest licks broken down slowly. Check him out for more stuff on Shawn's licks.
Cool! Thanks for the info!
Astonishing would be an understatement. Really. RIP 🙏
That drum solo in not again was insane!!wow
I ordered this and a Vinnie Moore video vhs and book within 6 months I became a shredder thanks to this video over 20 years ago
12:25- After playing impossible combinations of 2,3,4,5 and 6 note patterns... "I'd like to do a lick now that kind of demonstrates combinations of a lot of these things..." WTF?
I'm pretty sure he was a robot !!!
Just amazing !!!
he was one of the nicest people you could ever meet. very humble.
Genius
what the hell!!!??? I've been a superfan for decades and I never knew this existed!!!!!!
Гениальнейший и недооцененный гитарист.
В каком месте он недооценен, лол.
@@bruhchannel4402 ну редко его упоминают говоря про виртуозов. Вай, Сатриани, Гилберт там
Sean Rickman is stellar too...what a fantastic drummer.
Soft spoken and unbelievably talented.
The playing right at the beginning is the reason we never got visited by aliens. Shawn scared them off, and they thought we were far too advanced for their pathetic musical technology.
Sounds like he's playing early 1980's video games sped up on guitar lol
One of the greatest Players
R.I.P. great one.
I wished youtube would have been there 40 years ago when I was 20 years old it would have been so easy for me to understand playing music.
This guy is so INSANE! How on earth did he develop such an amazing technique?
That Esperato solo at 16:59 sounds a little like Are You Afraid of the Dark's theme
I'm curious as to what this would of sounded like without the effects.
Even when he plays them slow they sound like magic. When he plays them fast, they sound like another Universe.
The name of this song is Where's One? Fantastic ability, wow.
"Where Is One?" just so happens to be the title of an Allan Holdsworth tune. It's great.
