The thing that gets me about Shawn is that his music is so happy. Other fusion guitarists and musicians always seem to make sad, somber stuff, but with Shawn, you could just feel the joy eminating from him. Won't see another like him for a long time, maybe ever.
@Kingding6 good point. not self serious! i met him and he was real down to earth and nice, let me in to his show for free, and i got to play for him afterward (and he was impressed!) . all the talk about 'best' this or that (in other comments, not yours) is nonsense though, only egotists think that way. but don't give up hope
@Kingding6 Okay... I wasn't downing Shawn or anything, but him and Bucket were good friends. And there were some things that Buckethead could do that Shawn evidently couldn't. Like in Kaiser Nancarrow.
@UnknownSect333 Yes, they were good friends. If we should take anyones opinion here, lets take Buckethead's: "Shawn Lane is the greatest guitar player ever"
If I ever become a famous guitarist. famous enough to play to millions of people. I would get on stage and put my guitar down and tell them all how they forgot about Shawn Lane and how he was one of the best musicians on earth. Then I would tell them to go home and be entertained by these youtube videos of Shawn. That would the show.
I love watching Shawn Lane play. He put his heart and soul into his guitar and I never had the chance to meet him but his personality shines through his playing :) Rest in Peace, Shawn. A true great!
I've been goin through some hard times lately. I'm 19, trying to get a job and god damn am I lonely. This song always gets me through it though. Absolutely stunning. I've yet to find a song to perfect and emotional.
@campion95 My point is it feels like the sound of the guitar is what draws you in. I wasn't a fan of his playing. A song doesn't have to be great technically to be a great song, which is why while songs like this are interesting, they rarely are considered great songs. Look at Smells Like Teen Spirit, it was one of the most basic songs ever, yet it is now considered one of the best songs ever because it wasn't about the guitar, it was about the song. I can't really explain it better than that.
@narutorox85 Well Shawn Lane's music is based around the guitar. So the guitar should be the thing to draw you in. I don't think Smells Like Teen Spirit is a good song at all although its considered a "classic"... the guitar wasn't good, the vocals were horrible, the drums were fairly basic and the bass line is the same for nearly all the song.
@campion95 And here you show a misunderstanding of what makes a good song versus a technically impressive song. I think we can both agree that this guy is a great guitarist, at least.
@narutorox85 i think this sounds beautiful. im not saying nirvana sucks but shawn lane shows how you can make music sound good and paint a picture in someones mind without using lyrics. he tells a story or uses a leitmotif using the instrumentation. Thats what makes him one of my favourite artists. if you dont like his playing or think its just a load of notes then thats fine. but you cannot possibly say that this is bad music. and hes not just a massive shredder, listen to 'epilogue for lisa'.
I cant challenge your statement and anyone who does should listen to the lead line starting at 1:50 a few times and repeat as many times as necessary till they get "it"
Tone like a knife through butter, phrasing that would make a plank of wood cry , and enough feel to touch you still to this day . Something is missing from this world R.I.P. Shawn, a Master of artistic and emotional expression!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
It definitely comes down to Shawn's fingers, not his gear, heh. The guy was an alien. In terms of dexterity, he was (and mostly still is) untouchable but beyond that, Shawn wrote wonderful tunes with beautiful melodies and extremely expressive solos. Complete mastery of the instrument backed up by an incredible knowledge and culture of music. RIP, Shawn, you'll never be replaced.
@Som1onu2be I think everyone is envious of his tone. It's so hard to believe he did this with a Holmes Mississippi Bluesmaster amp and that Westbury W-20 tube overdrive which by today's standards is low end equipment. He knew the tone he was after and got it no matter what gear he was using.
I've just realized the cut at 0:49... after two years :) I think it means, that it's impossible to pay attention to anything else, while Shawn is playing. He's my biggest influence beside Richie Kotzen...
@MyShawnLaneVideos Brings tears to my eyes, and a feeling I cant really describe I guess everyone has their own flashback/goosebump feeling.. Thanks so much for the uploads, it means so much to me. I was only but a child when shawn was famous in the underground scene but I feel as if I was there the whole time, my generation destroyed music though. But believe me there are people of all ages who enjoy shawn's work. He was such a truly inspiring person. Words cannot describe.
Aw heck, from now on I declare every day Shawn Lane day. Whattya say boys n girls? God I miss him, technical, fast, emotional, superb phrasing and note selection, man what a loss......Merry Christmas to the Lane family, sure he's playin for Jesus as we speak.
I practically cry every time i hear that insane legato-arpeggio-string-skipping lick. I could practice 12 h a day and never get that one down. I had the thrill of meeting and talking to Shawn at Wetlands once, and he was one class act, one of the greatest guitar/musicians of our time. RIP, buddy!
Look at that smile on his face @ 0:32 ...That's emotion if I've ever seen it...Shit, everything Shawn Lane plays has emotion in it...Even his blistering fast solos.
Sometimes magic just came into the world for a while, to show us something beyond the conventional stuff and, sadly, to be misunderstood, a genius like Shawn Lane could gave so much more tho this world...but maybe the genius come to the earth to be remembered, not to be honored when they are alive...
why do great people always die!!!???? it's annoying, it's like death comes and says "hey, you're to good for this place man, come with me", and the snatches 'em off of us, its what makes life worth it
Always sends shivers down my spine. So heartfelt and beautiful. This amazing piece of music was the first thing I ever heard from Shawn, still one of my top 5 pieces ever, if not the top one. Shawn's tone and vibrato is so warm and singing in this song, that his guitar sounds almost like a human voice. A shame a lot of people think Shawn was all about the guitar shredding, he really was all about the music, just an unbelievable talent, playing straight from the heart. He is truly missed.
Man, just look at him, He looks so happy. Makes me sad just to think that a great man like him is gone. He really loved what he did. R.I.P Shawn Lane You will never be forgotten.
Lyricism! Lyricism! Lyricism! Shawn could noodle with the best of them, but work like this show that there was always much....much more in his heart. Namaste.
The Sound of Steve Vai and Paul Gilbert for Sure is Perfect and Beautiful
but their sound does not let me Fight the Tears in my Eyes like This song i guess itsthe part from 0 : 45 to 1 : 01 and of couse fhe Fun written in Shawns Face playin this Song
@MyShawnLaneVideos oh my god..i don't think it was pawned if you ask me.. being stolen is more likely to happened.. that guitar DESERVES to be in a Museum or some sort.
@09kitty23 I agree it should be in a museum or something, but sadly it's true. :-( ..... Shawn had VERY little money, and would often end up pawning his gear... some things he would manage to recover, other things sadly not. :-(
@MyShawnLaneVideos that is ashame... of all the guitars that has ever been wield'd by any musicians.. that guitar really deserves to be in the Hall of Fame
@bearfeymous Shawn's unique, one off "Powers of Ten" Ibanez guitar (based on the Ghostrider) has been put on sale, by the guy who's been holding onto it all these years, for $12,500. That's a lot cheaper than the $100,000 he put it on eBay for a few years ago. I sooooo wish i could afford to buy that to give it to Shawn's daughter Ashley!
@MyShawnLaneVideos Who is this friend? His he famous or do you just know him? Would he be willing to sell it? I mean, i can't buy it, as i have no money, but i'm a Shawn's fan. I discovered Shawn in a video in Youtube some time ago, couple of months and since then i have been hooked on his music. Mostly Powers of Ten. That's one of my favorite albums, along with Elegant Gypsy (Al di Meola) and Orchid (Opeth). I can't imagine the face of the guy who bought the guitar when it arrived. Lucky guy!
@mesamarshall Hi. It was a guy who has been posting at the Shawn Lane forum for years now, i know he's a true fan and seems like it's in good hands!.... obviously the person i would 'most' like the guitar to be with is Shawn's daughter, but at least it's with someone who i know will take very good care of it, rather than it ending up with someone who doesn't appreciate Shawn.
@brandon5pennies remember the guitar has been mass produced for a short period of time.. its probably just a charvel with same series and same color.. i doubt that's shawn's.. but then again possible
@09kitty23 actually i wasn't thinking correctly i meant his Ibanez ghostrider was on eBay for $100,000 i know it was his because it was the only 24 fret ghostrider with all the features his had yeah the Charvel i have no idea what happened to it
@Som1onu2be The effects themselves are just a little bit of chorus and delay. Most of the tone comes from how he uses the bar and his picking/fingering style. He's rarely alternate picking; using a ton of complicated legato/slide techniques. And, of course as it was all ready said, sprinkle some magic on the fretboard and you're ready to go.
@Som1onu2be Yep, if you want great tone tubes are the only way to go my friend. A ton of it is finger tone, but if you want to get something like this use a marshall or something else british, then crank the mids and put the gain on a medium setting. It also helps if you use a strat type guitar with a humbucker in the bridge
Actually, Shawn didn't use tube amps here. His tone in this video came from his "Holmes" amplifiers which have no tubes in them. He used a Tube pedal for his distortion though.
@otherrandomhero wrong! actually a les paul would suit best. the charvel 750xl that he is using has the same scalelength as a les paul and the air classic pickups are ade to sound like oldschool p90¨s even he vigier models are more a les paul than a strat. the only thing that they have in comon is the shape. fred ut!
@ThePathofHavoc I reccomend anything hes done with Jonas Hellborg. They venture into some weird indian stuff that requires you to invest time, but extremely rewarding if you do.
i remember a while ago i watched one of his videos and it was just ridiculous legato really fast and i thought he was shit.......... i stand corrected.
this exact tone. modern day gear. HOW, PLEASE?

It was a guy who has been posting at the Shawn Lane forum for years now, i know he's a true fan and seems like it's in good hands!.... obviously the person i would 'most' like the guitar to be with is Shawn's daughter, but at least it's with someone who i know will take very good care of it, rather than it ending up with someone who doesn't appreciate Shawn.

@09kitty23 His guitar truly deserves to be in his grave, but for sure all of Shawn's album's deserve go to in a Museum ! (My personal opinion)

@09kitty23 some crazed fan tried to sell it for $100,000 on eBay awhile back so it definitely didn't end up where it should have

@brandon5pennies remember the guitar has been mass produced for a short period of time.. its probably just a charvel with same series and same color.. i doubt that's shawn's.. but then again possible

@09kitty23 Shouldn't it be stuck in a rock somewhere sacred near a lake waiting for the right heir to claim her?

@09kitty23 actually i wasn't thinking correctly i meant his Ibanez ghostrider was on eBay for $100,000 i know it was his because it was the only 24 fret ghostrider with all the features his had yeah the Charvel i have no idea what happened to it

HOW THE HELL DO YOU GET THAT TONE?????

@Som1onu2be ... with a little bit of 'Magic'! ;-)
MyShawnLaneVideos 1 year ago 38
@Som1onu2be The effects themselves are just a little bit of chorus and delay. Most of the tone comes from how he uses the bar and his picking/fingering style. He's rarely alternate picking; using a ton of complicated legato/slide techniques. And, of course as it was all ready said, sprinkle some magic on the fretboard and you're ready to go.

@Som1onu2be Four amps set on different levels on delay, "quadraphonic sound"

@Som1onu2be : a combination of guitar.. pickups... amp...preamps... and double looping...
He used high output tube amps and that is where alot of his tone comes from

@PAULgilbertFAN93 Oh? I need a tube amp then. I am in love with Shawn Lane's tone!
Som1onu2be 1 year ago
@Som1onu2be Yep, if you want great tone tubes are the only way to go my friend. A ton of it is finger tone, but if you want to get something like this use a marshall or something else british, then crank the mids and put the gain on a medium setting. It also helps if you use a strat type guitar with a humbucker in the bridge

@otherrandomhero I just bought a Marshall! It was before you replied, but I am glad it worked out haha. Thanks for the advice!
Som1onu2be 1 year ago
@otherrandomhero
Actually, Shawn didn't use tube amps here. His tone in this video came from his "Holmes" amplifiers which have no tubes in them. He used a Tube pedal for his distortion though.

@otherrandomhero wrong! actually a les paul would suit best. the charvel 750xl that he is using has the same scalelength as a les paul and the air classic pickups are ade to sound like oldschool p90¨s even he vigier models are more a les paul than a strat. the only thing that they have in comon is the shape. fred ut!

@Som1onu2be he took the tone and made it his own. only shawn could do that.

@gmasterg13 I know! God his tone is so pure and amazing though. I really want his hands lol
Som1onu2be 10 months ago
@Som1onu2be his hands were the other part of his tone.
find your own style and try and make it your own sound brother.. good luck.

I simply cannot fathom anything he does. It's so incredibly spellbinding I think I might shed the first tear i've ever shed in 10 years.
btw, can anyone please tell the key and or scale he's using for this song? thank you very much

@3ucketheadJuggal0 Before the breakup @ 0.58 it's in Emajor, and then goes over into Amajor. don't know what kind of scales though, they sound good!
hope that helps a bit

I want to know which 3 pricks gave this video a thumbs down! Really?
If it was a mistake it is forgiven, but if not, don't watch a Shawn Lane video when you are a tree-hugging emo pixie.

I've never heard Shawn in such a lyrical context. He's really expressive and melodic. I really need to give this guy another listen.

@ThePathofHavoc I reccomend anything hes done with Jonas Hellborg. They venture into some weird indian stuff that requires you to invest time, but extremely rewarding if you do.
