- This is a COMPILATION of my guitar hero Shawn lane.. I chose the majority of my fav Clips of him....I tried to capture what i thought was the best of him ... unlike some compilations. I did not get all his videos in here so if you love this as much as i do then you will find the rest on you tube. This is the Shawn lane that rules the realm!!
R.I.P
dude, I don't think I can hear as fast as he can play...
Arc Crenshaw one of those times where I have to turn the speed setting down to have any idea what he’s playing
JUST. I "get" the idea he's playing a measure after it happens and I'm like: "heh, nice" midway through the next one.
Technically that’s true for every sound
@Mister Christopher No need to be jealous here. The reverb and digital delay are not playing those notes.🕊
If spider held a tap dancing competition, shawn lane would win
I worked in a music store in Memphis and Shawn was a customer.He was very humble and friendly.I always liked when some out of town hot shot guitarslinger came into the shop and heard Shawn riffing on a guitar.He was so many light years ahead of any of us mere mortals.
Can imagine. You do not expect to meet the final ultimate boss at the local guitar shop.
@@u.v.s.5583 That made me rofl 🤣
@@u.v.s.5583 Shawn is like the secret boss after you've completed the game on Petrucci Mode & 100%ed all side missions.
@@FurbyParade226 😂😂💀 classic
What if that "hot shot" guitarslinger that walked in was Guthrie Govan? That would be a Superman vs Goku mega battle!!
At 62 i just discovered Shawn Lane. I feel cheated but i got a lot of incredible catching up to do. Sheer genius.
If it wasnt for youtube there would be less Shawn Lane fans. One of the greatest.
Robert Smith im probably one of his biggest fans because of UA-cam i love every track on powers of ten
So true, both quotes..RIP Shawn such a miss to music!!
Not one of - THE greatest. No question.
This alone makes UA-cam invaluable
UA-cam sucks and is censored but I appreciate the music. We need a new platform that doesn’t want to harm people.
Underrated is an understatement when it comes to Shawn Lane
Shawn Lane is definitely not "underrated" artist like him couldnt have gave a fuck about ratings. Youre not listening well enough
Under appreciated is the word you're looking for. Shawn Lane is highly rated.
@@dannyg6704 under appreciated maybe? All the people who are incredible at guitar know exactly who he is. His playing speaks for itself.. there will never be another like him.
Buckethead approved 👌
Taylor approved.
I came here because of Buckethead. He loves this great guitarist.
Buckethead worships this man. He is a god xD
Have seen Buckethead 2x in Haight-Asheville
I first heard about him from a Buckethead video🕊
@@edgarcardona6641I worship Buckethead 🙏
Here I am 46yrs old and listened to Rock my whole life and this is the first time and first video of Shawn Lane I've ever heard or seen. Can't believe I have gone my whole life without ever hearing or seeing this guy because he is absolutely amazing. I mean he makes Jimmy Page look like child's play
Jimmy Page wrote some of the most memorable guitar moments of the past 100 years. Pointless comparison.
@@rayflanagan1519 Page couldn't hold this man's guitar pick.
I've went 50 years. I feel cheated. This man was incredible. Best I've heard.
I'm 72 yrs old and have listened to this incomparable guitarist for a few years but his presentation really moved me starting at 3:32. Thanks Brandon for posting this.
@@rodjohnon4950 You are so thick! Page was a song writer composer. He wrote some unbelievable songs that still sound magical. His guitar was just a tool that's all.
Mind blown. How can a dude be this masterful at his craft and still relatively unknown? No matter how great you are, there’s always someone out there who can literally play circles around you.
What I see is that those who reach the Olympus of guitarists are those who develop their own style in composition and technique, but this must also be memorable and commercially successful.
it's actually not the speed that's so impressive about his playing, but the perfect intonation, phrasing and overall feeling. he's never robotic or just about technique...he's communicating by and with the instrument. I wish he'd be still alive and I could see him play....Huge inspiration, what a gift to the world.
yeah the intonation is very impressive... if you know how to use wanky runs as a deliberate texture while preserving a dynamic range of piano to forte, they dont wear on the ear as much
@@rickdeckard1075 thats for exposing to everyone that you have no connection to music
Right!! his lines were soooo musically sophistced...slow that shit down and its still off the hook. His ability to play that fast ws inhuman..hella funny
It sounds horrible though. Like he is just hitting random notes and without regard for being in key.
@@SeanKernan -Do you even know the basics of music? For example, what is diatonic harmony? what are some non-diatonic devices? like secondary doms. or secondary leading tone chords? Do know what playing outside is? Could you pass a basic interval ear test? do you know what modal interchange is? these are beginner concepts , maybe a step 2 from diatonic concepts like the modes for example. I doubt you know what you're talking about. Shawn Lane knew EXACTLy what he was doing, there are no "random" notes here, just lines that your unsophisticated ear can't handle. Don't come shit on one of the top two guitarists who EVER lived. There's Allan Holdsworth and Shawn. Then there's everyone else basically. Shawn could sit in with ANYONE, where as anyone couldn't sit in with him unless they were prepared to sound pedestrian at best.
Can definitely hear the influence when listening to Buckethead.
His technique is absolutely unparalleled.
And most of the time, he just improvised all that crazy stuff! :D
I think it is understandable that sometimes people are so blinded by the speed that they miss the melodies. But emotionally, if you don't get that either, you ought to just listen to someone else. Shawn was all heart. That's why I love him.
Exactly. The phrasing is there and deliberate.
Great technique, but not a lot of melody going on here...
@@timrobinson6760 Not a lot of phrasing either...
ah lad you're mental listen to his feel
@@timrobinson6760 ah typical david gilmour fans comment lmao
This guy was definetely a Genius, an Alien, RIP Shawn Lane Miss Ya!
KmlZ - Alex I figured he was dead by looking at his physique rip though much respect
Cuando fallecio.
"Shawn Lane was the greatest guitar player to ever live"
-Buckethead
The section at 5:48 !
That's just astounding.
There's a zen master quality to that.
Stuff that looks impossible made to look effortless.
We are poorer for his demise.
Luv and Peace.
You aren't joking that clip is freaking bonkers. I just discovered this monster and he is blowing my mind. Soul and speed combined
Kevin R. Yeah, me, too. Hol eee shit, this guy...
I can’t believe this is real. This guy was an alien or something. I’ve never seen any shredder come close to the speed, endurance, phrasing and sense of melody he had.
Rip Shawn and Alan..... Now we have Guthrie and may he live a super long life
Guthrie isn’t that amazing and he been playing the same songs for 10 years now Tom Quayle Rick graham Alex hutching frank gamble Bret garsed those are the dude’s
@@DigitalLoom Those are all incredible players but they aren't as technically skilled as Guthrie
@@DigitalLoom Btw Frank Gamble is one of my favorite guitarist along with Eric Johnson. Someone I just thought about being up there in talent was Jason Becker
Ron Thal (and maybe Mattias Eklundh) is technically on par with Guthrie. I would argue that Guthrie would have problems playing some of Thal's INSANE fretless stuff.
@@DigitalLoom Bro fucking L opinion right there. Idk how you could like jazz fusion and not appreciate Guthrie
The GOAT in my opinion
GUITAR "ARE YOU MY DADDY?" - SHAWN LANE "YES".
He was the GOAT, and no one knew it. But there will come a time - mark my words - when it will be recognized.
True story my friend...
True story ❤️
@@michaeltedore6190 because he played fast?
@@levisalvini4110 ppppppppppppp

Shawn didn't have a style. .....he had a gift.
I knew him briefly circa 85' One of the most genuine human beings I have had the privilege to meet. His talent speaks for itself, Powers of Ten is probably the best "solo" album of all time of any genre. Peace
Never been more transported in my life... Powers of Ten at the giant IMAX screen @ Great America... This was before I had even heard of Shawn 😎
True...so True.
"I guess you guys aren't ready for that yet ...but your kids are gonna love it"
The most technically gifted, and with the best phrasing around. What a combo.
certainly one of the finest musicians to ever live
Back in the day HE was the guitarist that most of the elite guitarists wanted to see,
for example ... PG refers to him frequently
I love Shawn and Paul's rendition of "let it be" from at NAMM. Shawn takes off into outer space with his emotion solo. Totally one of a kind spirit and natural talent.
For those impressed by his blinding speed, that’s OK ..... I sometimes think Shawn deliberately played like that because he knew people wanted it and were amazed by it, he liked playing to the gallery.
But don’t miss the fact that he was an outstandingly musical musician with a heart full of pure soul.
I disagree with that, Shawns been playing like this since he was a kid...playing to the gallery? He’s one of the least known guitar players there are
@@SkwisgaarScampini “playing to the gallery” is not meant as a derogatory term. Least known or not, he still had a gallery. I was making the point that Shawn was a lot more than a fast player.
Yeah it's a good point. He was not only playing blindingly fast, but it all made sense in context too! I've seen people do solos which have parts that speed up from very fast to unplayable as part of the dramatic effect, and it's a mess past a certain speed level. But, he could actually play coherent, heartfelt music at that "unplayable" speed!
maybe he played so fast, because it added to the songs by creating dynamics and intensity? playing fast is just as musical as playing slow, it's about the composition.
Thank you so much for posting that! Well put and very true! His astounding hyperdrive speed drew me in, but now I find I'm more laid to waste by a single well placed note. Absolutely a phenomenon we will will not see again in our lifetime. And probably my sons generation either.
He was a great friend and music lover...I hung out with him many times. I learned as much as I could absorb!
You said it Shawn... I remember hearing you for the first time and hearing you play some of Shawn lanes licks...lol
We were all way behind Shawn's abilities. Whiddly whiddly Chris always called it. He was too busy pumping out kids to appreciate what Shawn was doing. Hope your health has been doing ok. I just had thyroid surgery. I'm Mr van Halen tapper that looks like I'm sawing wood from behind. :)
This guy is so good it's nuts. All this time I have been listening to Timmons, Hendrix, Satriani, Gilmour, Johnson, Knopfler, Van Halen......Shawn is the Smoothie of all these great guitarists. What a loss to everyone.
your so late it hurts!!!!
@@DigitalLoom Awesome.....So you are supporting his talent and achievement by hacking on his fans? Please reveal your motive to denigrate my appreciation for his talent.
@@DigitalLoom .....? Nothing?
so much passion, virtuosity but ALSO tons of feeling in his playing and a really sensitve, kind and open minded person he was. thanks shawn!!!
That's the craziest ZZ top I ever heard
"Every girls' crazy about a sharp dressed man: bzoorp blurrr weerrrrr wham kablam weeee!"
That shit was inane. This dude was an alien 👽 he had seemingly endless endurance but played really nice lines too not just scales or basic arpeggios. That ZZ Top solo was just insane. He looked really young too
any idea on when this recording would have been taken?
Shawn lane was the best guitarist to ever live. He had it all . The art Tatum of guitar
100% agreed.
Yeah that’s what I just thought. Only Art Tatum or Charlie Parker maybe Coltrane and Eric Dolphy had this combination of speed, endurance and incredible sense of melody, phrasing and timing. Shawn played beautiful lines, he definitely is not just noodling he’s playing very sophisticated shit, like outer space 🪐 Alien shit. Part of me thinks Jimi Hendrix Machine Gun at the Fillmore, Norman OK and Isle of Wight is the pinnacle of guitar playing....but then I listen to Shawn Lane and think this must be the pinnacle. Jason Becker did some insane shit like super shredding with one hand while using a Yo-Yo in the other and wrote and played Serrana Arpeggios at like 16 and played Paganini’s Caprice at 15 full speed but Shawn is even better than that! I’ve an obsessive listener and player and went to a music conservatory, I’ve seen Steve Vai, Satriani, John McLaughlin, Derek Trucks and tons of amazing jazz musicians Live and a ton of amazing classical players who can play 4 parts at once full speed...BUT....Shawn Lane still seems light years ahead of everyone i ( imho ) ahead of everyone. His facility doesn’t seem real. I’m starting to think this guy was some form of an alien. Anyone can practice and get really fast, but this is something completely unique and different I’ve never never anything remotely close to. I think he even smokes Art Tatum which people would of said was impossible to do. Anyone else mind boggled by this playing??? I can’t figure out how he was able to get this to level besides being touched by God or a deal with the Devil lol but I really mean that. It doesn’t even make sense how good he is. The video says him and Holdsworth but I don’t Holdsworth could ever keep up with Shawn. He’s like Holdsworth 1.5x faster which is saying an awful lot. It’s scary how good this guy is....
@@jordandangelo180 Love both, prefer Shawn, but no Holdsworth, no Shawn. And in fairness Holdswoth was doingi this stuff when peiple were peeing in their pants over players like Ritchie Balckmore. Holdsworth was not Shawns equal in the physical technicalities of the guitar I would agree, but when it comes to pushing the envelope in terms of composition, not even close, Holdswotth all day. His intuitiveness and depth of understanding is unmatched by leading guitar players to this day imo.
NO
@@jordandangelo180i am so unusually compelled by your comment here, i think the way it's phrased is brilliant! all i can think to say is cheers!
I am a fan a guitar heros and Shawn Lane schools every player that I consider great. He was truly in a class by himself.
Yeah agree, him and Alan Holdsworth.
Django is still the boss
Guthrie too
Shawn Lane what happens when there are no technical barriers, you can hear the feelings you can actually be amazed by everything that is happening a true musical miracle
Never will we see or hear his equal. A youthful crop of incredible guitar shredders are here now, with exceptional technical skills and musicality and I have yet to hear or feel what Shawn Lane created on the fret board. Daniele Gottardo, Steve Vai, Malmsteen, Greg Howe, EJ, Govan, Keaggy, Becker, Metheny and so many others testify to the out of this world guitar player who suffered from so many health issues and passed on very young. He is truly missed and will always be a "Legend"
The greatest who ever lived, without doubt or qualification
no guitar player will ever reach his level of guitar playing/keyboard. the king.
Thanks so much for this beautiful compilation of a beautiful and amazing human being.
this video is priceless, thank you.
Thank you for this. It’s stunning.
Shawn Lane was the jmber one undisputed emotional shredder in the world of electric guitar RIP
Fantastic talent! Just discovered him and so glad! 😎🎸🙏R.I.P.
Great Post!Tremendous loss!R.I.P!
Thank you for putting this together...
Thanks for the post. Heard him first on BOA, then guitar practicing musicians, then on DVD tutorials. Lots say to many notes, but anyone that knows anything about that stretch of speed is a pursuing gift to keep. So clean a touch. RIP Shawn.
Thanks for posting this. What an unbelievable talent Shawn was, and gone way too soon. He's sorely missed. RIP, Shawn...
Fucking TERRIFYING
My most favorite guitarist of all time! My God, what a loss, RIP Shawn. Great clips!
He's a legend,a insperation guitarist,very skilled n unique.cool video thanks for sharing it with us.R.I.P.Mr.Lane.
That ZZ top solo was light years of anyone at the time, even now. No one can hold a candle to Shawn. Melody and speed, he was a master at both. I did think they were going to unplug his amp at 10:38 the old lady in the background holding her ears, classic.
Not speed. Timing. Virtuoso guitarists usually go to fraction of seconds in regards to what they want their notes to last. Shawn made his notes last EXACTLY the amount of time he wanted better than anyone else. That's why I think while there have been a few guitarists that may be considered the bestonly Shanw was perfect. Because HE WAS PERFECT.
@@BurnRoddy you’re right his timing and note length was dead on perfect. That’s why everything flows so well. I don’t understand why he isn’t celebrated as the greatest guitarist ever or at least one of the top 3-5 if you want to say he didn’t write hits or wasn’t in a popular band like the Stones or something but regardless, he could of never written a song and should still be celebrated. He wrote beautiful melodies and his lines and phrasing is immaculate. But for what he accomplished as a musician I don’t believe has even been done before. I know they say Paganini made women faint and cry and they thought he sold his soul to the devil but that was a long time ago and Shawn should have a major film company or group release a documentary on what the level of plaguing he was able to accomplish. It’s completely unparalleled. I know it’s over most people’s heads but it would do the public a lot of good to get acquainted with a genius of this magnitude.
To be fair, tinnitus is a cruel affliction. Covering your ears doesn't mean you don't like what you're hearing, it just helps with the pain. But others think you're being rude
There's a clip from 1979 where he's just a kid doing this exact solo
@@jordandangelo180 Greatest and best are not always synonymous.
The greatest ever
I still have yet to hear anyone today compare to Shawn's amazing musicality, speed, technique, and overall emotional expression. He was ONE-OF-A-KIND and always will be! The fastest guitarist then AND now. ✌️🙂
Unreal!!! I never tire , watching & listening to Shawn.
I'm a little late in finding this video but I want to Thank You, for putting this together, Brandon. I wish there were many others who understood music in the way Shawn did. He was such a kind-hearted guy willing to help too. Thanks again for sharing. 🤍
This is just incredible. I met Shawn a couple of times in the mid-80s in Memphis. He had recently become a father. He was quiet and shy and had a very pure knowledge and curiosity about music. And he played so finely. Great to see him here on youtube. Thank you for the upload!
Awesome collection of Shawn Live. Thanks for posting.
yes sir i felt it was one of my missions on earth to make the video lol!!!
His hands are like machines😮 especially his right hand! So fast and accurate..he has a unique kind of picking style
whts crazy is that he had small hands but had a stretch that was better than most.
Your right the picking hand is so important, the motor ,.the fretting hand is just the steering wheel..and of course coordination..
Why the two thumbs down on here.?..half wits ...
this guy transcends music at 14:02-14:14, especially at 14:05 where he drops down into the lowest key of the song. Idk how he figured that masterpiece of a solo out, but it effects my life greatly. Buckethead also does that to me.
what's the song here?
@@Rakaizulu get you back
It melts me
14:18....
14:02 brought tears to my eyes first time I heard it
His expression and phrasing is great. Don't even know what to say about his technical skills, it's off the hook.
That ZZ Top jam /solo he did is hilarious...Awesome. Only my brother RIP came came close to Shawn..
Great comp....thanks man.
I cannot physically believe that I haven't seen this until just now - the man is absolutely insane. well, was :(
like a strobe light
27:00 eruption with one hand! hahahah
TruthSurge! I actually watch a lot of your videos. Shred and debate hahaha
TruthSurge hey! I didnt knew you aprecciate Shawn...
Love your vids.
That was fucking insane. It sounded like a demon screaming into the wind
Here's the badass grandpa.
Truthsurge ! the magic musician !! I enjoy your videos more than these !
Love Shawn . Not only was he fast but he played the good stuff fast. He was still telling a story not just playing tricks. A true musician not a trickster.
thanks for this compilation! Shawn is my guitar hero too!
He will never be forgotten!!
Greetings from Germany,
KREUZZER!
Thankyou, Brandon, for introducing me to Mr. Shawn Lane.
hell yea, my pleasure bro!!!
The greatest of all time... rip buddy
well Brandon I'm happy to say Shawn was easily one my favorite guitar heroes ,,,,got to meet him on one his tours through the NW with Jim Dandy round 1980 ,sweetheart of a guy !and a absolutely astounding musician !
Amazing! RIP brother. What a shame, he left, at such a young age.
I knew him well, spent a lot of time with him at his house in Memphis , he was a good man, Liz and Grandma were very sweet people as well.
oh man. can you records your impressions and share them? love from switzerland
@@NeilRaouf Shawn could speed read books, he read poetry and the Bible as well , had a 10,000 record albums , he loved Beethoven, Hear could hear anything once at any tempo and play it., Shawn a kind and gentle soul. He had an old upright piano that he played very good.
@@honeybadgersocialclub7055 🥰👌👊🤘
Hey man….this is an amazing work….Shawn is the number one….
So I discovered this guy today after watching a Rick Beato video on best guitarists by decade.
Sean Lane got his own category called 'Super Shredders'.
That's the god damnedest thing I've ever seen! Thanks for making this compilation.
Thank you for your compilation.
John in Hampshire, England.
He had chronic psoriasis and high levels of cortisone since age 12 affected his weight and eventually killed him at age 40. At the end of his life he was on oxygen. He is...and rightfully so...still regarded as the best. He died in 2003...
Lead guitarist for Black Oak Arkansas at 14...embarrassed the hell out of Ted Nugent at 16 in a guitar off because Ted was arrogant enough to try to do it to him. I feel that you have to be an accomplished guitarist who really knows music to be able to have a valid opinion about who's the best really. I've been playing a guitar for 45 years I want someone to show me who's better than this guy.
you talk about his health conditions as though that's what made him great! I knew what you mean, but the wording of this eulogy just made me chuckle
Bad ass player!..i have the privilege of seeing him live! Have never seen anyone top him!
His skills were extraordinary. Wow.
Alien guitarist!!
@10:58 ive never heard a guitar player sound like a slot machine before. Jackpot central🎖. Still no one to this day can play like him.
Sometimes I forget that music exists. And then I am so happy to hear it again
Its good seeing someone else post videos of SHawn and i.. I really Miss him. He was truly a good guy with a big heart.
Meeting and talking with Shawn was one of the highlights of my life, being in the presence of pure brilliance. He should have had a huge ego, but he was totally humble and treated me as though i was a friend. I've seen many of the world's greatest guitarists and the only other person who I would put in the same league is the late great Danny Gatton.
I LOVE SHAWN LANE!!!!!!
great batch of clips, when he plays the strat type guitar towards the end, thats my fav, thanx
Ive seen some AMAZING shows in my 54 years. If I would have seen Shawn live......it would take up for ALL those.
He was the best and still is....
Always loved him!
The greatest of all. Fantastic talent...One of a kind...Unique.
His playing goes over a LOT of peoples heads!
This guy was indeed a freak of nature! Unbelievably talented!
Esse sim tocava com técnicas mas principalmente com a sua alma apenas uma nota sua soa como uma gota no oceano grande Shaw lane 👏👏👏
i read in a guitar mag years ago, that he could play 17 notes per second. The amazing thing is he never lost the melodic ideas when he played fast. His speed was a way to convey melodic senses.
when I was young, I used to wonder why he wasn't more famous
Sun Sparkle too many guitar god elitists who only stick with the mainstream.
Are you kidding me?? I watched half of this to give it a chance.....too many notes, sounds like a bumble bee on steroids.
Sun Sparkle His fastest diminished runs clock in between 23-24nps.

@@sunavila umm, nobody thought they were literal Gods. those don't exist.
It really sucks when people die before they get the recognition they so deserve❤RIP❤
The man was a phenomenon. Few people are even able to wrap their minds around what he was able to create.
no one comes even close. those are the words I can describe him with. nor will anyone ever. greatest musician of all time.
just discovered him today from a youtube comment on a Randy Rhodes/Eddie Van Halen debate. And I already know you are right. He is that good.
I think he had a magic plectrum. He sold his soul for it, and they came for payment all too soon.
Fcuking incredible guitar player. Actually unbelievable. RIP. Never be another.
I wish I could play like he could when he was 14!!!
Sometimes you wish you could discover something a second time to get the excitement you got the very first time. With Shawn I'm blown away every single time and it's been 20 years.
His right hand was out of this world.
Man that part from Tri-7/5 gets me every time
after reading a lot of these comments I just want to say,..this is easy stuff as far as comparisons are concerned,...there are very good piano players,..then there is Chopin,.......there are many great guitar players,...then there is Shawn lane....
Yeah he played fast but where's the innovation. I'd take an 80'z Eddie Vanhalen any day. No disrespect
Did you listen to the recorded works Shawn released? Where he had very specifically laid out melodies and ideas? Elements that were crafted meticulously over time, in sharp contrast to most of what we're seeing here.
The best I think to ever live, my friend, at least within my limited means of exposure 🤔
@@hirskdubbi definitely i would take Eddie van halen 1978..1979..1980..1981..1982..1984 everyday and all day long..

Fantastic compilation of a master.
Takes you into the 5th dimension.
Some riffs just make you laugh it’s so insane & outside at times.
I saw him in concert at the Strand Theatre with Black Oak Arkansas. At the age of 16, he was just as amazing! From the third row from the stage, his fingers were a blur, but like others have said, his melodies and intonation were spot on!
