Up until today, I had never heard of Shawn Lane before. I just accidentally stumbled upon his wiki page. What an immense talent, and what a horrible loss for the music industry.
If you've just heard of this guy now, you're gonna struggle, hard, at finding a pinnacle of similar value from another guitarist. Even if you don't understand what you have just heard from this video, I highly suggest hearing more from him. Prepare to be blown to bits.
Its almost retarded impressive man lol, the only guy and I mean only guy who comes close with the total package all time legendary speed/ clean hyper shredding/ technical prowess/ and feeling etc as well, would be like prime 85 Gilbert ,and somehow Lane here with way smaller hands by the way is no less then 7-12+ percent faster then fricking him even! absolutely absurd!.
technically great, insane speed. But musically it's not pleasing to the ear, which is why I'll have to disagree. I'd rather listen to another shredder that plays something that i'd enjoy listening to. Mad respect to his skill and speed though.
Wow... Thinking abour underrated guitarrists.. this has to be the most underrated of all times. I have played for 30 years and never heard of this guy until now.. says even Paul Gilbert thought it was unreal...that says a lot.
And thanks to whoever painstakingly enhanced this experience to 4k of this genius calling out his fellow Extraterritorials through his guitar to outer space,
@@jumpman120 ok ! you are right !

OMG - how you got such pristine footage of this I'll never know. But seeing it so crisp with great audio quality - man, Shawn really was so good he was scary. Thanks for upping this!! RIP Shawn.
If you actually learn and study his songs, his phrasings and approaches are incredible. He will play the same way on a piano, it's not just show tricks specific to an instrument but actual notes coming first and the instrument just being a way to produce them. So no it's not just fast notes, and this section of the show was just meant to be a technical display. @@crispybell51

Hi, thank you for making and posting this video. Would you be willing to share the Power Licks and Power Solos sources videos you're working from? The copies I have are very poor quality.
Shawn lane should’ve been discovered in late 70s. I’m sure someone noticed black oak Arkansas young guitar player, Maybe they deliberately denied ,because Eddie Van Halen was enough at that time.

@@mallolollo well I appreciate you taking the time to even do this one. Been trying to buy a physical for a while. If you ever did the whole thing I would be mega grateful
Although I agree to some extent. Those three are some of the most insane technicians and cream of the crop elite guitarist ever to hold the electric guitar to the point that even Steve Vai said that he still can't understand and get what Allan Holdsworth is doing while Paul Gilbert and Eric Johnson both said that Shawn is a very Terrifying guitarist. Also Rick Beato consider Guthrie as the greatest Rock fusion guitar improviser ever. BUT There are former greats and up and coming players that can stand their ground against those 3 above. BRETT GARSED - One of the best and most creative guitarist there is. To be honest he smoked Shawn Lane in Mike Varney's Centrifugal Funk jam. Their Jam on Hey Tee Bone - Brett played some of the most tasteful killer lines and made Shawn sound like a wanker by playing and sounding like "Pac Man shit" like the jam above.😂 FRANK GAMBALE - When it comes to Sweeping, Frank is untouchable in the same manner that Shawn is the King of Alternate picking. MATEO MANCUSO - the heir to Guthries throne, the guy has insane chops, feel and phrasing, can play almost anything- jazz, fusion, blues, rock and doesn't use a pick. He plays like Govan and Jeff Beck on steroids. The guy is just one of the most prolific players as today. TOMMY EMMANUEL - The acoustic guitar king, plays it like no other on acoustic, I don't think Shawn or Guthrie will be able to play acoustic like him. YNGWIE - many will find this controversial, but Malmsteen is a revolutionary one in a century kind of player who practically invented neo-classical shred singlehandedly and I dont think any of the three can play as fierce and in your face rock- metal stuff like him. Admired and look up to by peers (even Govan said he admired Yngwie's "technique" among his contemporaries). His "godly vibrato" is second to none and gave tribute to Allan Holdsworth on his Inspirations album. and many others, those are just few of what I can think at the moment. 💯
As time goes on, I just appreciate music that you can follow with feeling…. Sad to say; and I know this will upset a lot of people - however it just sounded like a weird warm up scale exercise. 😕
It’s because the radius of the neck was 4 inches more than what usual electric guitar necks have. Usual 6 string guitars have 14 inch neck radius while Shawns guitars had 16 inch radiuses . Later on he preferred flat radius with the signature models . That kills the action to less than 0.5 mm which is why one is able to play so fast so easily. A lot of Shawns speed was also in his choice of guitars @mallolollo
can't be serious.... Shawn is playing this with his left hand only. Buckethead can't get this speed using TWO hands. Shawn is so, so far above BH... sad people can't grasp that.
@@TruthSurge I think you're the sad one here. Nowhere did i say one was better than the other. You do know the meaning of the word "influence" right? You can hear Shawn's way of playing in Bucketheads music sometimes because they were close friends and Buckethead looked up to him. That's all, it's mind boggling how the likes of people like you make everything into a competition...sad really.
@@JamoZNL "If you close your eyes it`s like Buckethead is playing." You wrote that. I totally disagree and we'll just have to disagree! No hard feelings. I think BH is musically inferior to Shawn and technically inferior and the ONLY similarity imo is the two hand tapping where he TRIES to sound like Shawn. My opinions.
Basically every tune he plays is super melodic and tasteful. Seems kinda silly to complain about one of the few times he just plays an endless barrage of shredding for the fun of it
Up until today, I had never heard of Shawn Lane before. I just accidentally stumbled upon his wiki page. What an immense talent, and what a horrible loss for the music industry.
The drummer is a beast and Shawn should win shredder of all time award
He's certainly a shredder in all time

Malmsteen looks pathetic in terms of speed. Even Batio or Gilbert.

@@DisYT this is really not much more than a demo. Listen to his albums, where he puts the musicality back in, and be in awe. He was the GOAT.
This guy has to be the most technical guitarist of all time
This guy is the chosen one
I would say let's not forget to mention Shawn. He was as insane as Holdsworth or anyone.
Yeah that's one way to say it I guess.
Agree
Maybe if he could play one line I could remember this entire solo is just the equivalent of someone spouting gibberish in your ear
