Anyone know who the drummer is? He has a nice, light and fluid feel and this song is not easy to play.

@owlcu That is Sean Rickman on drums here.... awesome drummer!!

[shadowknight132]

Who originally wrote this song? I read on Power Solo that Shawn didn't write this song.

[MyShawnLaneVideos]

I think it was Joe Zawinul.

[Iguana886]

Greatest musician who ever lived.

[7raczyk]

I would KILL to be able to just play with him for 5 minutes, let alone a whole afternoon. Greatest player to have ever picked up a guitar, hands down.

Such a great song and musicianship that there are no negative vibes coming on most comments and 97-0 like to dislike.

I have not seen this before.

Sean was truly magical.

@MyShawnLaneVideos I think you're right. Weather Report did a double album (I think at least partly live), that straddled the periods right before and after Jaco joined-a very special period and amazing album). Anyone serious about Shawn Lane should definitely also be a Weather Report fan, as he was.

Thank You Great.

@MyShawnLaneVideos Is he the same drummer that played in The Evil Stepsisters with Paul Gilbert at MI? Thanks in advice

i've never heard major pentatonic used in such a creepy way Lane was the MAN!! Genius

[AnnihilatingAngel]

6:50 to 7:28: perhaps the most majestic, impossibly fluid single-string solo of all time. We shall never see the like of Shawn Lane again.....

[SweeetPicker]

6:00 : This is the most beautiful solo i've ever listened.

6:52 to the end : This the greatest stuff i've ever listened, and probably the most impossible thing to play at the guitar.

The Number 1# . When i listen to a fantastic guitar solo i listen it couple times and i enjoy it. When i listen Shawn i listen some great solo 4 times then 10 times then i kinda unpack it and start listen some parts of it with extra focus and find some 20 second part better and soulful than allmost any other solo from other great guitarist. What i mean is that there is so much in his playing that i cant even digest that or contrast him with other guitarists.Every note structure is one of a kind
