Is this on a DVD? Does anyone know where I can buy this? And if not, where I can get it at all in high quality? D:

For anyone who's interested in this Shawn Lane DVD. Also check out Good People In Times of Evil and Icon. They're the albums they recorded together. Icon was the last Shawn Lane album released before his death, I believe. Good People In Times of Evil is one of my favorite albums of all time and I highly recommend it.

Shawn's melodic intuition is so strong, that he could play nothing faster than an 8th note and I'd be satisfied.

Every One PLEASE!!!

We gotta get some one in the film documentary business to do a 2+ hour piece on this genius of the modern electric guitar. Shawn Lane beyond any doubt was THE musical genius of our time. All of his recorded data on musical theory, interpretation of sound and melody, and technical ability must be gathered, cataloged, preserved, taught at all levels of musical education, and presented on film for the masses. DON'T LET HIM FADE INTO HISTORY!!! MAKE THE FILM! WRITE THE BIO!

@Element404 I think the the amazing part about Shawn's speed was that he never had to develop it. Like you said, he had to clean it up, but the pure speed was always there. That almost never happens.

[Element404]

@Dooality It's not his speed that impresses me, it's his music. It's how he phrases his lines; how he chooses his notes. He's always melodic.

And the reason that not many have reached his fluidity, is because it takes a lot of practice. When he was 10, he was playing fast. However, he was sloppy. It took him several years of technical practice to clean up his playing. He wasn't playing like this over night. Every one's, "this is impossible to do" attitude has to do with why no one can.

[Dooality]

@Element404 I agree with everything you said aside from the last statement. I have (as of now) never heard a guitarist who has the technical ability Shawn does. Some come close, but you can hear the strain, the difficulty they have playing at those speeds and it comes across as slight mistakes or dynamic issues. For Shawn, playing ten notes in a second or playing one in a second both sound equally effortless for him.
