As a musician and guitar player I have to say these few minutes of gritty VHS-quality video are what I keep returning to when life gets too much to bear. There are many virtuosic instrumentalists, but Shawn's intensity and expressiveness were not from this world. We owe you Shawn Lane, you were one of the most important voices humanity has ever had. I shed a tear thinking about how hard your life was. You should have been a king. Love forever.
AlexYoshii,gracias por tus palabras,jamas le olvidaremos..

He should have been as famous as Elvis.
Well put
@@RoadWarrior2006 people on his time never understand what this man is doing only music lover appreciate it, he is ahead of time on his era to communicate his music to people, this is the same about van gogh art his approach to art is ahead of time thats why he only get his recognition after his era
shawn u saved my life just know that
Something between a miracle and a paranormal event.
Man this is a great comment
Great comment 🔥
Magic sheer unbridled magic.
The scream at the end tells you everything.
Shawn was such a technical monster, as well as a melodic virtuoso. Everything about Shawn was prolifically perfect. His chops, modal progressions, composition, melodic direction, and everywhere else his music could go before touching us in heart and soul! It is sad that his few live performances were recorded in such poor quality, fuzzy videos.
At least the audio quality is there :)
2022 and still coming back to this video. Timeless to say
You know Bruno, every time I watch this vid it just pulls at my gut!!! Shawn was absolutely a phenomenon. Wish I had been able to see him. Cheers!
That lick at 3:02-3:13, man...
2023 and doing the same
This is definitely the best guitarist i have seen
Yes, he was the best anyone has ever seen or will ever see again.
Magical
Different levels of dexterity. Oh my gosh. Speeches
a complete fucking god. no better description for shawn lane. a fucking GOD.
If you can't recognise the delicacy and beauty in this man's music. You're a different man than me.
He is LEGENDARY...
Many folks just can't think at anywhere near the speed it takes for them to be able to process this, much less understand the very delicate nuance and exquisite technique throughout. It's not their fault.
@@lessevdoolbretsim No, not their fault. They are just humans.
Never take this video down
This should be on repeat in museums and shit man. If aliens come to earth this might be the one thing they need to hear. The rest is mostly bullshit if you ask me!
@@zaccyo Yeah, I dig this tune, big-time as well !!
I make a new copy each time I've got 50MB of free space somewhere. :)
Same audio, better video quality here: ua-cam.com/video/bvrE55j5wKk/v-deo.html just for fans like you and me!
It's a prefect moment in time, he never played it the same twice. This specific recording is magical.
I can't believe one of the best guitar performances in the history of the world has less than 30000 views.
Yeap this world is crazy!
@john cash Absolutely right. And less than 3000 views for this ua-cam.com/video/80LR5ev2gSw/v-deo.html makes me even crazier! :)
I kind of dig that tho. He’s just for us, a wellkept secret, untouched by the masses. 👌🏼
Yeah, and 500 of them are mine.
Will always be the best guitarist the almost no one has ever heard of. I'm glad I learned about him as a child.
I can’t believe that I have never heard of Shawn Lane before tonight! Better late than never! What a joy!
Holy Fuc!!! Seriously? You have arrived at what Paul Gilbert described as "the most terrifying guy of all time." One of if not the greatest to ever play the instrument.
He was a holy fricking terror! One in a billion.
@@ganazby Hell yeah, Phil!

True story...
I started listening to him several years back after Eric Gales told me how good he was. Eric got to play with him, and with the Willys a few times on Beale Street, he should know
Shawn is truly 1 of 1. Nobody’s music has touched me like yours thank you for everything. The greatest
This is certainly one of the most beautiful and perfect instrumental works ever written for the guitar... a masterpiece in beginning, middle and end, harmonically perfect, melodically divine, the feeling that Shawn Lane created in Get you Back is surreal, in transports us to another plane, and after this musical journey we are invigorated... thrilled, full of joy... Shawn Lane was very special... this show is a historic milestone in the expression of Jazz-Rock-Fusion guitar, no one was so virtuosic and melodically so sophisticated and full of feeling!!!! A genius!!!

very well said. i agree 100% edit: 3
The more older I grow the more I realized this man was from advance time machine.. it's 30 years almost yet nobody on earth touch his caliber till today.. indeed God takes away good one early, this world was too small for him and it's a crime by music industries that he ain't household name.
Used to stay up all night and play this while I smoked my bong while the sun rose. Thanks for the vibes Shawn.
unbelievable
That was so astounding, I need to rest for 10 mins
I randomly (by accident mostly) come back to this video in every couple of years and be mesmerized by the sheer mind-bending performance by Lane. You must be on a different level, not just as an artist but as a human - to be able to play like this.
I love when the song ends and a guy just explodes in emotion a second before the rest of the crowd.
hahaha great catch man!!!
No way that guy was seated either haha
@@zaccyo yes I was imagining him jumping up in joy
Still awesome, RIP 🙏
Undoubtly one of the greatest who have ever existed.
Until yngwie malmsteem came along
@@Sh0n0lol Malmsteen is crap compared to this guy
nope@@Sh0n0
@@markg2861 thats just your opinon
@@Sh0n0 HAHAHAHA! What a joke!
3:39 - 4:48 is the most beautiful guitar playing of all time. I need to also add that the bass playing, keys and drumming on this track is tight as hell throughout the entire song as well.
Never before....and never again
Fair enough
This man could rip apart any shredder out there... and yet he played with so much melody and emotion
@@derekn4579 exactly!! The difference between making MUSIC and not just wanking. Whatever he played, he meant it!!!
@MrMisterMan I don't even disagree with you. Jason Becker is my favorite guitarist(tied with Friedman). And while Shawn maybe couldn't tear Becker apart, I do think that Shawn had the ability to play faster. However both of them emphasized how important melody and slow playing is.
Its the best solo I've ever seen
w8 a gift of honor we met you, great Shwan
Maybe in about 300 years time musicians will look back and say “Hey, that bloke there from the year 2275, he was almost as good as Shawn Lane”…but somehow I doubt it…
A short lived genius, showed so many players what hungry practice is all about.
I've never heard anything like this.
Not again live is another savage piece. Look forge guitar licks version
Nor will you ever again. He was the best there is and ever will be.
It's as though the guitar is just another one of his body parts, and he utilized it like a smile, or a frown, some other expression coming out of him...Absolutely flawless.
He is in great form on this clip,
There are guitarists...and there was Shawn Lane. You will forever live.
What a lot of people fail to notice is how Shawn used the whammy bar with utmost control, and not just for divebombs or wiggles. How he countered the tension using his fingering hand against the whammy bar was so musical.
Explain more? This sounds interesting
@@TheOriginalBillyYO If you want more insight into this, listen to the solo on his song "Esperanto", and watch his breakdown of that solo in his second REH video (the one where he's playing his yellow Ibanez). He uses the whammy to start notes bent up, sliding them down, sort of backwards compared to how bending is typically used, where you start with the note fretted normally then bend upwards. He also just used his whammy for particular accents and sounds to shape the notes. As mentioned, "Esperanto" is a great example of this.
most people have noticed that
If you think thats impressive check out steve vai, he’s the master
If you think thats impressive check out steve vai, he’s the master
I cry every time he gets to 5:40 in the solo... Sick...sick...sick...
You're not alone.
spine tingling
This is one of my favorite songs ever and I just discovered Shawn lane last night. I love the chords in this song. Like I can’t believe l knew about joe Satriani and Steve vai in middle school but not once have I heard about this man? It literally makes me cry I’ve missed out such a work of art for nearly 20 plus years. I wish more people heard this man.
The greatest.
Just such an emotional song ..so much feeling and technique went into this....just my absolute favorite player.
GOAT
overused term... not here tho
What an amazing song
Shawn, Ur music is too right to me, I dont have words for your sound...
Man O' Man!!! I love this man. Never heard or saw this tune live. I'm heartbroken. I've listened to this album for the last 22 years, yet seeing and feeling this now....
5:25 and on is a form of expression that I've never witnessed another guitar player even remotely come close to. Shawn's ability to express is sublime.
He was the greatest to ever do it IMO
Porque no te gusta el rock ni creo que lo entiendas. Si es quizá el mejor ...pero en rock. Jimy hendrix...
Guthrie Govan comes pretty close...
@@s208richard8 in technique but not at all in the emotion evoked, and he does not seem to have a vision the way Shawn Lane did. At least not for me. But anything is possible depending on the unique experiences of the listener.
Yes, it is the most perfect form of musical guitar expression ever.
Thank you for removing the hiss. I listened to this so much before with the hiss in it anyway lol.
My God what talent. Would have sworn he was two handed tapping if I hadn’t seen this video. This is honestly terrifying.
Even with subpar audio his tone is still hitting me right in the feels!
Why? Lane and Becker so young and so talented struck down so early. It's not fair
I graduated from MI back in 1991. Wish I could have seen this.
This man is so criminal underrated it’s mind numbing
Shawn was an absolute gift!!! Wish he was still with us.
Grande Shawn..estará tocando en el cielo como sabía hacer..
satan envious what this man can do thats why he eliminate it as soon before he reach his level haha just kidding
@@debuhokontra2006 you are right man , I also been seeeing some envy in God s eyes !!!!
Simply the best. ❤
great tone and playing of course... love the charvel too!
Genius man. I love this feel. Those notes are just raining down like unbelievable.
Forever touched by Shawn's music. I will never forget the impression his playing had on me when I first thought of playing guitar 13 years ago.
shawn was always a master at blending technique and soulfulness
Yes, it's amazing how he even brings tears to my eyes when playing faster than anyone in history.
Never heard of this guy until today, he is brilliant.
22 MDH The best ever
Not brilliant, just the best ever!
@@bigfaby Ok "the best ever" I love Mark Knopfler as well, have a listen, he has played with many musicians and even the Scots Dragoon Guards, "Parallel Tracks" album.
@@22mdh6 Of course, I know Knopfler and many other such well-known guitarists as well. I know Allan Holdsworth for instance. Many people regard him as the greatest electric guitarist ever. But nobody compares to Shawn Lane, this guy is from another planet. Try his solo on Let It Be, starting at 3:54, this is incredible: ua-cam.com/video/MFVoqXSX0vg/v-deo.html Please tell me about your feeling.
@@bigfaby Just listened, great, one of my favourite Beatles songs too. Agree Shawn Lane was talented think he died, very sad and a loss to his many fans, and I believe Get me back was really about his late sister, at least I think I read about it way back. Thank you for advising me to listen to Let It Be. I'm not into knowing great guitar players but love music and appreciate when I hear a great sound. Many thanks again.
This guy was In a different stratosphere
No doubt about it.
Supernatural level of guitar playing right here. Good thing it was captured on video, damn.
Masterpiece.
Shawn was one of Greatest human being of all time
Not sure how to say this or if it will make sense to anyone, but I’m pretty sure some fundamental answers to the universe’s greatest questions lives somewhere between 5:24-5:47 in a musical representation
01:30 those harmonics
also after the riff at 1:40 just wow
This is my first time checking out Shawn Lane (not really into shredders much) and I blown away. Even without the ludicrous technical ability, his expression, touch and note choices are just exceptional, just beautiful. The word underrated is thrown around a lot, but this guy is criminally underrated. Wow.
Matteo Mancuso.
Myself and friends of mine have been trying to understand whether this man was even human for like 15 years now
@@_soundwave_2614 Matteo is quite incredible :)
Came here after a quarantine recital, a 17 year old girl played this song and it was a magical sound, it was Mr. Lane clapping from up above 💗
7:03 is exactly how I sound when the song finishes
why is this masterpiece not recorded at extreme quality? fck
Lane was another level. His musical and technical ability was unmatched, above genres and styles.
Fingertips that were once sore,
Is the creator of the best melody I have heard
All the pain you had inside,
Written meticulously on the fretboard
How many ways a story can be told!
Breathing , even that must have hurt you
What your brilliant mind had in store,
Was far beyond anyone on this earth could grasp
You laid out some in the form of music,
For us to discover and absorb
The joints in your body gave you immense pain
And your music eases the pain in mine.
You went through all of it,
And now thousands of us , who are filled with pain
Can forget about it for a while and enjoy what you have given us.
Not many songs of you around,
To forget the pain for the rest of the life
You gave us the chance to feel ours
And create something remotely similar
You are an inspiration Shawn
To go through what you did,
Our body would give up way sooner
Thank you for having lived in the same world we do
Through your music you made yourself immortal
I hope you knew this, you must have..
Wrote this for shawn, i can never really express what his playing means to me but I have tried
you made me cry, I guess that means you did a fine job of it, many thanks AD
@@porkbelly0713 hey it really means so much to me. Thanks ♥️
How good was Shawn Lane? He could play two-handed tapping with one hand! (5:24-5:47) And still make it sound beautiful and expressive. Love the jazzy chromatic notes he throws in from time to time, and the way he rides the whammy bar subtly the whole time. Truly a remarkable player, and greatly missed.
Yep. The left hand stretches he was able to achieve were mind boggling - especially considering he didn’t have particularly large hands, by all appearances.
That is the most jaw dropping guitar playing I have ever seen. Obscenely fast while absolutely divinely melodic, a combo rarely seen tbh.
Had to come back for a bit of SL. Been listening on and off for years. Cant take a lot of it but just occasionally...what an incredible talent. Died far too young
RIP
This lifts my soul
I love you, Shawn. ❤
Best ever out of Memphis
He is the best ever ( imo )❤️ A true musician.. another dimension..❤️
“There will never be another Shawn.. and if there is one thing we can all learn from him it is If you must play fast play good stuff fast..”
Guthrie Govan...
Shawn Lane? Oh my god he was the most terrifyng guy of all time..he can do whatever he wants with one hand while you cant do with two hands..
Paul Gilbert..
Shawn Lane was the KING no one has doubt on that..
J. Petrucci..
Give me emotion I apreciate this individual he was unique
Best song ever
I wonder what it was like to see this live
The Grand Master at his best is still relevant in 2024.
Never really feel the need to comment on videos, but this truly is an exception. The whole thing is phenomenal because, of course, it's Shawn Lane; however, that playing from 3:34 onwards is something else. I love his decision to add the harmonic at 3:36, which climaxes perfectly the first half of the piece. The way he resolves to the E at 4:53 from that run starting at 4:48 is sublime, and then the run between 5:25 and 5:47, just wow. What an amazing, amazing talent taken far too early from this world.
I first found Shawn when he started recording with Jonas Hellborg. At first I wasn't sure what to think as I was buying Hellborg for his compositions and didn't much care about the guitar player. By the time Personae came out I knew he was special and by the time he did Icon and the Paris DVD I knew this was someone far beyond the Shredder label and just a pure musician. I remember the day he died and I wrote on the white board at work 'Shawn Lane is Dead' and no one knew who he was but I felt it and goddamn I was going to let everyone know. I still miss him and the excitement I used to have for a new Hellborg album. Luckily they still sound awesome so go buy them all on CD and listen to them on repeat. Cheers.
keep his legacy alive!!
every single day
I love this song so much!
Love this so much, it doesn't get any better than Shawn period.
6:16 *OMFG!!* 😱
What an absolute inspiration
God on Guitar.
G-d plays a Charvel? I always imagined g-d would be playing a Telecaster.
From 05:26 Shawn went into another world, you can see it clearly
Ves!
Shawn was the best guitarist I can think of. Too bad poor health cut his life short.
Thanks for this
All I can hope is that the people in attendance that day had the slightest idea of the sheer greatness they were witnessing and that no one in the history of the world would come even remotely close to this level of expressiveness ever again.
Also the bend at 5:49 is undoubtedly the most amazing bend ever bended, it made me legitimately cry
and such a long lick on from it
I need to go practice...
This deserves at least 2 million views.
Awesome performance, what else to expect from Shawn, one of the gratest of all times.
Sounds like the theme song for an awesome 80's TV show....I'd watch it.
Put a smile on my face
terrifying
Of course a great player,but his tone here is great! I love how he has the high end rolled off to create a warmer tone.....
5:37-5:40 best phrasing ever
The whole improv section is a masterpiece. Django Reinhardt level skill.
5:25 and on .......shit got really real .......😲🔥
im working on it
@@parksoo-kim6908 It's absolutely insane. The note choices and how the melodic phrases resolve and respond to eachother, the rhythmic displacement in some of those 'licks', whammy bar work/vibrato. This is one of the greatest examples imo of why music is considered a language. (If one can catch the nuances at the level of speed, lol.) Wtf really..
0:00-7:17
