Shawn Lane - September 26th 2008 Memorial Video

Music: This Mortal Coil - Song to the Siren
I do not own any of this music.

Shawn Lane is probably the most influential person in my life. He pushed me to start guitar, he pushed me to do better in guitar. He made me realize how much you can do in life. In late 2003 Shawn was having breathing problems, and was rushed to hospital. They said he was probably going to have to use an oxygen machine for the rest of his life. Instead, he passed away peacefully, on Friday, September 26th, 2003. He was an amazing guitarist, and an amazing person. Unforgettable. Irreplaceable. Immortal.

@shadowknight132 i wish :(

what i would do for one of his guitars :'(. I love the guitar so much and shawn lane brought my love for it out from a whole new perspective. This man is amazing I feel like dying knowing that someone as wonderful as him both as a person and guitarist had to leave way to early. Shawn I miss you so much man. your inspiration makes me hope that I can some day bask in the shadow of how you played. RIP

hey I can confidently say if you want to start playing even remotely close to how Shawn played, learn the diminished arpeggios and start playing them faster and faster as you learn. It helps A LOT with your dexterity and youll get a more Shawn type of as he said, "outside sound"

This is a moving video, I think it is one of the nicest on Youtube, the song is well chosen. I had not heard it before. Your ending pic is one of my favourites of SL.

You are right that he loved guitar...but above all, he loved music. He truly found a unique voice on it. If you listen to him play and then sing what he plays, or go on keyboard, or anything, what comes out, all sounds like Shawn Lane.His soul was music. Poor guy...a lot of people love him. For good reason.Thanks for the video.

I saw 4 or 5 times in concert, especially in Paris, where I went to see behind the scenes to sign my guitar was an Ibanez Satriani model, while playing with it I said he had been a time ...

I ran into him again on stage in Holland, he had broken a string while playing, I went up on stage to help remove ... "I of course keep in memory";-)))

It was a great big tall man, and so humble, shy on the edge ...

Thank's a lot Mister Swawn lane, thank's a lot...

kind of messed it up for me, when you showed off the guitars. why you have something to prove.. would have been nice to see more pictures of him.. to have seen the man behind the instruments, not the instruments themselves.

cuando escuchas miles de musicos te das cuenta que muy pocos lo son pues la mayoria solo repiten notas vacias sin color y shawn lane tenia todos los colores
