Eminent guitarists on Shawn Lane

[@HeavyProfessor]

Shawn Lane is the only player who can bring tears to your eyes while playing 20 notes per second.

[@grgwashnton23]

very true. i always feel sad about the world losing him every time listen to one more night live solo. while its extremely awe inspiring it also gives me tears. he truly could be the greatest guitar player world produced eons to come. like timmons said, 'Genius '

[@zhabajapanese2486]

and, of course, his teacher - buckethead

That Buckethead interview is where I first heard of Shawn. Thank you Brian! 🎸🎭🥁🕊🏴‍☠️😎💜🌎

[@theharvardyard2356]

When you've got 4 of the best players of all time talking about you like that... you're really something special. Like Andy said, it will be a long time before the rest of us can ever catch up.

[@SuperStrik9]

When it comes to guitarists Shawn Lane is the GOAT. Nobody else comes close. The technical ability and emotion/expression in his playing is unrivaled.

[@abelwritesmusic]

Have you heard of Jason Becker? Personally, I think he is GOAT. Not to knock down Shawn, but I really think Jason Becker was light centuries ahead of anyone on Earth who ever touched the guitar.

[@SuperStrik9]

@@abelwritesmusic Becker's great and he's a great example of the triumph of the human will and spirit. The way he composes music is incredible. That said Shawn Lane is still the GOAT imo.

[@abelwritesmusic]

@@SuperStrik9 I can respect that opinion. Becker being the GOAT is also just my opinion.

[@SuperStrik9]

@@abelwritesmusicEveryone has a right to their opinion and we all hear music in our own way. :-)

[@levisalvini4110]

Jason Becker love Shawn Lane! Shawn was one of his inspirations. There, is your answers.

[@yuothineyesasian]

"Blazing, amazing, phrasing." Gilbert was pretty proud of that one.

Even moreso when Andy Timmons and Paul Gilbert honors Shawn

[@Samurai78420]

This is such a cool little tribute, because all these guys are scary- good players with incredible attitudes. So sweet. Shawn always came across as one of the most gentle, soft spoken guys ever.

[@ayandey137]

Bucket head saying Shawn Lane is from outer space, Buckethead himself is an alien, Shawn must be from beyond the observable universe, the music he created can't be from here. Close your eyes and listen to his music and you will be to places you have never been. Shawn lane, legend man legend ♥️

[@HoofHearted6]

I once told a friend that while listening to Personae, I feel like I am walking on a far distant planet experiencing new sights and sounds for the first time. It truly transports you to another world. Sheer genius.

[@danguee1]

Definitely one of the top 10 guitarists I've ever had the joy to hear. This is beautiful....

[@johngalt2054]

Shawn Lane unbelievable. And, to add to that.. Paul Gilbert, for a friggin phenomenal guitarist, is one of the most humble people I have seen.

[@matto9734]

Shawn used his technique and his instrument to bring Love and Humanity to the World... that flow of concious was incredible

[@zaccyo]

Listening to Guthrie made me cry and laugh.

[@sarge7string232]

I met Paul back in the early 90's when Mr .Big came to Guam .....it was at a meet & greet at a local music store...the whole band was pretty cool ........I was wearing a Shawn Lane powers of 10 T shirt (still have it ) .....he said hey ...cool shirt ....then he signed it ...Paul Gilbert Digs .....then he drew a line pointing to Shawn Lane's name ...........

[@iansnyder274]

Shawn was just on another level or two or three...etc. etc....Powers of Ten is still one of my favorites. still have the CD I bought at Tower Records in Austin back in 93 or 94..

[@waikikirod]

Shawn Lane A True Badass 😎 From Memphis TN at ty end of y video Paul Gilbert Nails Shawn's Stuff ... Thanks Paul Gilbert.. Jim Russinoff shared it well with you Paul back in the day... Rock on Paul Gilbert.... Boom baby Boom

[@bnelson2]

Really cool video! Thanks for putting this together.

[@shovelheadseven]

wHEN i WAS 14, 15 years old I was around Paul Gilbert, Bruce Bouillett, Michael Angelo, Chris Impeliterri and Shawns demo that he sent Mike Varney was floating around Los Angeles. Everyone was blown away by Shawn. Even if someone like Roy Marchbank can pull off Shawns licks it still isn't the same. Light years ahead. Shawn was playing like that in Black Oak Arkansas. Then came Eddy and Randy a few years later. First over the top shredder.

[@davidferrara1105]

I'm a classical musician and he's beyond most of the legends of classical music ability wise. He's like Glenn Gould in a lot of ways. true genius, a word that gets thrown around way too much

When Guthrie Govan says what he said of Shawn, you automatically know that Shawn Lane was a titan

[@Whyrendog]

The way his TONE came together too, mannn, it was so WHOLESOME. His technique forced you to rethink alot if you ever studied it, there were a lot of five note fragments instead of triplets. Richie Kotzen was a trip to retrain yourself to play, also. All very painful, and nice lol

[@jimmyharris2006]

Is a basis around Memphis back when Sean was playing he was a young kid, when he was around 13 years old I showed him how to play the guitar part on reeling in the years. He picked it up very quickly, but he would also practice hours and hours every day, he live with his grandparents as far as I remember, I sold a PA system to his van, with Gary Liston and vocals and Daryl denson on drums, next thing I knew Sean was playing with Black oak Arkansas, and I make sound at a club in Memphis where the group called the crime was opening, and Black oak was a main attraction. It was a long time ago, I was a teenager still living with my parents. Too bad he passed away so young. I'm told his mother went to California and did bee movies out in Hollywood. I never saw her when I was out in LA

[@blucheer8743]

Shawn was awesome if a guy like shawn couldn’t make it big you gotta wonder about the music industry it really makes you question it

[@zeekmx1970]

Brian you said nice things about Shawn during this interview because Shawn was an inspiration to you. Brian I'm never going to believe you when you tell me Shawn was better than you. Yet I sure feel the same as you do about him. I want you to know both of you are an inspiration to me. You're both vastly inspiring musical treasures that make my life worth living.

[@johnmcminn9455]

Pat had a quote, " sure I played Parker licks, I am trying to work them out of my playing all the time " I can see in Pat's Era how to be good was how cleanly you could imitate Parker, Jim Rainey is amazing to see on You Tube readers poll winner of all the guitar contests, then you have Pat he is having enough of that, and cuts an album with Jim Hall . Jim Hall says " I am the less is more guy but the truth is I can't play 1000 notes like Metheny. Now Pat is beyond all that and programming auto acoustic instruments I hear

[@kriswoodward7623]

Shawn Lane was simply stunning. His talent proves there has to be a god. That guy wasn’t a product of evolution!!

[@tomrafal3655]

Giving God credit for Shawn's talent is taking away all of Shawn's hard work, dedication and time.

[@MetalHeads-w6o]

sir my i know if shawn lane at malmsteen had a chance to meet each other?😊

Andy Timmons is right Shawn Lane is the only genius I have ever known personally.

[@flame-sky7148]

Easily the most talented guitarist of the 20th century. Just basically able to soak in everything and spray it back out to ya. Also the fastest guitarist ever, and Shawn knew when to play fast. I met him, as he was truly a humble man. Notice how almost everyone says how humble he was. It's because he was.

[@brimstone81]

Paul Gilbert: it almost sounds like he's doing it two handed, but he's doing it with his left hand. Nuff said.

[@efwfew]

I never understood the thing with Shawn Lane. I like fast guitar part but the music never really appealed to me.. maybe I just don't get it.

[@cardsjoker9239]

Mozart, Beethoven, Vivaldi.. maybe a lot of people don't get it.. But you get the picture..

[@rudyescobar7071]

I know what you mean. The first song I saw Shawn play was "Flying Gray Pianos" and I was like, "Wtf is this?!" lol. Then I heard songs like "Tri Heaven", "Get You Back", "Upside Downside", "Not Again" etc. Special stuff, man.
