Shawn Lane - Rules of the Game (REH, full quality version)

Here's a full quality version of Shawn Lane playing "Rules of the Game", with Sean Rickman on drums. This footage is from Shawn's "Power Licks" instructional video and was privately shot at KTZZ-TV in Seattle, WA. in 1993.

There were 3 lots of actual performance footage used for Shawn's 2 REH videos... live footage of Shawn playing at Sneaky Petes, Memphis (on the 13th Dec 1991) was used for the intro for the first video (Power Licks).... but as for the performance footage from during both videos, some of it was taken at "Musicians Institute, Hollywood, CA - 5th Feb 1993" (with full Powers of Ten band minus Todd Bobo/sax who apparently couldn't make it that day.... there is a live audience for this footage)....... the rest of the performance footage from his instructional videos (ie. "Rules of the Game", "Gray Piano's Flying", "Not Again" and one of the versions of "Epilogue: for Lisa") with just Shawn Lane and Sean Rickman playing to backing tracks in a private studio, with no audience, was filmed in 1993 at "KTZZ - TV, Seattle, WA.
There were two versions of "Epilogue: for Lisa" in Shawn's instructional videos. The version near the end of the first video (Power Licks) was taken from the Seattle footage (with no audience), and the version during the end credits of the second video (Power Solos) was taken from the "MIT - 5th Feb 1993" concert footage.

Listening through the Powers Of Ten album makes me shed a tear every time. What an immense force in the musical world. And seeing his interviews and reading about how much of a great man he was, makes me sad. Why do the greats have to be taken away. :'(

This shows the fastest alternate picking player alive proving that it's not all about the speed.

Awesome vid of Shawn! What a player!

[PhantasmicDayDreamz]

The only guitar player to ever give me goosebumps while listening especially in live performance if not more. Such emotion but at the same time at the flip of a switch almost, sheer ferocity. The Chopin of electric guitar.

@Staplesz I remember reading that he used the stock pickups that came on that Charvel. On one of his REH videos he said he didn't like high output pickups.
