@phattnlazy My musically uneducated friend, that is your opinion.. Shawn Lane was probably the most knowledgeable musician to live in modern times.. If your brain or EGO cannot handle listening to his virtuosity and beautiful compositions, then maybe you shouldn't be on this page to begin with. Go study the in's and out's of music theory, then practice guitar until you can play with only one tenth the skill level he had, come back, and apologize for your moronic, uneducated comment.

If this is Paul Gilbert and he put his stain on it..Then Shawn Lane is the real deal..AND my ears tell me so ..Fast but exceptionally great.. Love ya Shawn.. I think I play like this, no comparison but I do it too..

@phattnlazy Meh, you and the other slowtards can listen to slow stuff if you can't understand the fast stuff. This isn't just scale runs. These are bebop licks and very well phrased things. On his first solo album he spends about a total 5 minutes with the fast stuff. Was an amazing musician, it's a shame your ignorance will prevent you from exploring him.

oh god .. it hurts my ears.. junk. You'd have to be on meth for years before you could consider this music.
