Shawn Lane Solo Transcription - Levi Clay

[Fluffypopcicle]

Some of the best phrasing I have ever heard and the tastiest shred passages ever. Just what I would expect from Shawn Lane. His tone sounds like a video game here. I wonder how you get it... Oh, that's right, the fingers!

@Fluffypopcicle

errr... no sorry - as the title says - thats my transcription - the computer game sound is my tab of the solo exported from guitar pro ;)

[Fluffypopcicle]

@MissMisstreater

Oh, I see. Isn't guitar pro the thing that plays the tabs that you write down? I was wondering why it sounded so odd, I have seem the Sneaky Pete videos before and he didn't have tone like this. Oh, and guitar pro has some nice finger X)

[MissMisstreater]

@Fluffypopcicle yeah - i'm a transcriber - this is just a sample of some of my work, im genuinely flattered that noone even noticed the midi in there! :)

Ever see Jimmy Fallon and Affleck do the morning radio personalities?

Btw, Shawn is God of music!!!

Levi,

You are one BAD MOTHERF*CKER - LOL!

Awesome job! I agree with the guy who said that the midi-playback sounds like a synth-double! (ala Jan Hammer!)

BTW, I read recently that Guthrie Govan got his gig at Guitar Techniques by sending them a Shawn Lane transcription! Guthrie said: "Not only did I have their (GT's) attention, but they published it, gave me money, and kept phoning me every month for years!"

I know that you keep busy, but maybe you'll get that sort of work too!

[MissMisstreater]

@billmeedog I actually already do mate ;)

[billmeedog]

@MissMisstreater,

Levi, That's great bro! I had no idea...I actually LOVE GT magazine, but being from the states (and not having a monthly subscription) I haven't read one in quite some time, so I didn't know that you were contributing to them. That's fantastic, and you certainly deserve it....You are TOP-NOTCH!!!

Best of luck, and see you around the 'net and forums!

[guitarDouchebaggery]

[TronicSpeedsta]

[MissMisstreater]

@TronicSpeedsta This is "Something About You" by Level 42

@MissMisstreater Wow, never in a million light years would I expect to hear something like this - Shawn blazing some LEvel 42. I love this song. Thx a lot!
