Shawn Lane - Powers Of Ten (1993 release) Full Album

[@brettgarsed]

I had the immense privilege of Shawn playing this for me in his Grandmother's living room (where it was recorded) before it was released. I was doing some gigs with Bobby Rock and Carl Carter and we caught up with Shawn when we went through Memphis. I've never met a more wonderful, kind and humble genius in my life. He jammed with us that night and it was absolutely mind blowing. Man, I wish he was still here.

[@nicomorrison8233]

Brett, you and Shawn lane are in the top 10 best players worldwide IMO, amazing the both of you, I have been listening to this album for ages everyday when I walk my dog, it blows me away everytime, Centrifugal Funk is also a masterpiece I listen to when I need a boost to get me playing guitar again 🙏

[@ScottSudbury]

I was there , stage stop memphis , Bobby did a drum clinic then y’all jammed Frankenstein etc and it was killer !!!

[@jamesallanburruto]

Amazing story. He was without a doubt a genius.

[@Jimmy.Williams]

Wasn't in Memphis but drove out to the Kansas City Gig for the same tour with Franenstien...my god we are all so old, lol. What an amazing show and players @@ScottSudbury

[@Jimmy.Williams]

@brettgarsed you are also one of the most talented and most humble guitar players out there that I've met. Centrifugal Funk is a masterpiece and you, Shawn and Frank's solos on that song are serious just legendary 😀

[@NeilRaouf]

Shawn thabk you for everything you gave us. Pure sonic beauty. Did you know that he produced that album mainly by hinself? Learning the software and programming and mixing and all the stuff basically overnight? Shawn is up there amongst the great creative geniuses of human history. No matter how many people know your name shawn....i make sure my kids and hopefully grand kids carry you name into the future!

[@zaccyo]

Beautiful brother. Well said:)

[@KeenanNeighbors]

I knew Shawn all of my life in Memphis and a quick story about this album. Warner Bros offered to sign him and ''make him a rock star'' He refused and said he wants to do a solo record without interference and they finally agreed and gave him 400,000 and Shawn played guitar, keyboard, drum programming (except tracks 13, 14), bass (except tracks 13, 14), arrangement, engineering, mixing, production. He was such a sweet soul to. A good example of Shawn was when he was at my house and I introduced him to my dad saying Shawn is a guitar player and my dad said ''So are you any good?'' well I could have died and gone through the floor but Shawn being the sweet guy he was he smiled and replied ''I think so'' THINK SO??? 😂 One of the best on the planet. The first time I ever heard of Shawn I was in their sound man's house and he played a song called ''Thunder Thighs'' and he said the guitar was fretless from the 12th fret back,Shawn was only 12 years old . He started Touring with Black Oak at 15

[@NeilRaouf]

Keenan Neighbors thank you keenan! Sweet anectodes!

[@samsalerno3384]

Exactly.

[@ashupande]

Shawn's music wafts through the mystical space-time continuum effortlessly...unbounded. It has always filled me with joy. Now it also makes me sad because I'm reminded of someone who is no longer in my life.

[@panavisionnot7180]

Wonderful, Thanks so much for sharing this .. lost my CD years ago.. His work was worthy of Grammy Award...his writing was as good and sensitive as his chops..

[@ZeFrenchiestFry69420]

Nah, the Grammys dont Deserve Shawn. He deserves the Nobel Peace Prize for this.

[@dennisp3314]

Heard about him for ages. This is my 1st time hearing him. Wow. It is all so uplifting ! Most of his material reminds me of the stuff Steve Morse usually writes. Although Morse is a fine Guitar player, his velocities ,for the most part cannot reach Lane's technical prowess. Otherwise, they sound similar to me.

[@hottiestub6420]

I want to buy this album!

We are working on getting this re-released. Meanwhile thanks for listening. #TeamShawnLane

[@kurttoogs1378]

I'm listening to this for 1st time! Reminds me of Allan Holdsworth🎉

[@HoofHearted6]

My first time too....transported to a musical wonderland...a carnival of sound....breathtaking. Absolutely mesmerizing.

[@linnstr8609]

This album perfectly exemplifies why Shawn Lane is a master musician above all else. All of these are wonderful compositions and they're never an excuse for him to show off his technical abilities on the guitar. When I was younger, I would be impressed by technical wizardry, but as I've gotten older.. all I care about now is quality music and compositions.

[@stevesmith8493]

Shawn was a hometown hero who I had the honor to see playing here quite a few times. He is buried at Memorial Park on Poplar just off of I-40 if you are passing thru Memphis.

[@zimsamhaim3686]

give him 200 years and a true political revolution and he will be a global musical hero

[@davidoberlin4186]

Cheers my friend.

[@jimmythebold589]

ihad never heard of him, and he was playing in my town, i met him outside the venue and told him i was broke and he put me on the guest list. i hung out with him and the band afterwards, and i asked to play his guitar. he was apparently impressed with my playing, all of his bandmates asked me for my phone number. he was super, super nice and humble. it's sad he's gone, and so young

[@gsmeeuwsen]

Thx a lot, lost the cd, not available on Play Music, SL was huge, RIP, such a loss, sure he had awesome technique, but I I listen to him the same way I listen to Allan Holdsworth or Eric Johnson, for their music So happy to hear the 3rd track again, so uplifting!

[@denissmith9772]

I was guitarist in a cover band with bassist Andy Tannis in 1984 and in walks this friend of his from the Black Oak days who I had no clue who he was, he asked to sit in and you can imagine how it felt to resume my position after the sonic onslaught I had endured! Simply the most humbling experience of my performing life! Such a humble sweet soul with lightning in his hands! My favorite ass kicking received, in my life! I was served piping hot humble pie! Yum!!!

[@jimmythebold589]

from a humble guy, too. i met shaun in the 80s at a club in central coast california. i was broke, in between paychecks, and saw him standing outside the small venue, and let him know my situation, so he put me on the guest list! I HAD NEVER HEARD OF HIM. Then i saw him do the soundcheck, FOR EVERY INSTRUMENT OF THE OTHER PLAYERS, and he was amazing on all the instruments, and how handy for the other players who went out into the audience area to gauge their sound. afterwards, i hung out with them, and asked if i could play shawn's guitar, while i was playing, he turned to his bandmates and gave them this 'get a load of THIS guy', afterwards, they all clambered for my phone number, saying that i must be good, if shawn gave me that look. i was really into allan holdsworth at the time, and had translated most of allan's solos, but i don't do jazz or fusion anymore, ironically, i'm into pop and EDM, haha

[@iansnyder274]

I bought mine in Tower Records in Austin in 94'. Glad I still have it.

[@14thSgtStedanko]

I think any shred guitarist can take a lot from a performer like Shawn. I have heard plenty of talent over the years that can melt your face off, but without direction and feeling the shredding can become overwhelming and will tend to lose its grasp on the listener. That is why artists like Shawn, Buckethead, and Steve Vai really resonate with me. You can tell their music is coming from their soul and it seems to tell us a story in sound. Shawn's spirit lives on. Thanks a lot for uploading this masterpiece.

[@Johnnysmithy24]

Glad you mentioned Buckethead, my favorite musician/artist. Shawn and Steve are also in my top

[@davyboy9397]

Alan Holdsworth, Shawn Lane and Guthrie Govan. Greatest of all time

[@samsalerno3384]

Titanic. Shawn Lane was on another planet. I had the beautiful opportunity to see him at a local nightclub in California. My buddy and I were standing ten feet away from him. It was unbelievable and a cherished memory.

[@AirGuitar]

Wow his music is beautifully written and very rich in melody and varying tones. Amazing human and amazing player!

[@blackbelt_guitar_2870]

Not too long ago a modern day Mozart walked amongst us. Sadly, most musicians have yet to discover his genius. GOAT 🐐

[@jakemitchell1671]

i used to watch this man play in Memphis from 15 feet away. to see him live is an experience that very literally CANNOT be communicated. and on top of all that....he was super nice, humble, loving human being. RIP Shawn.

[@Hyperion94]

Shawn Lane was like the earth meets the space. Thank you for all, Mister Shawn. G.o.a.t for ever.

[@stevewilliams6046]

Im here because of Buckethead. I consider Bucket to be one of the greatest guitarists if not the greatest but Buckethead himself that Shawn was hands down the greatest of all time. So sad Shawn and Bucket didnt have a chance to make an album together like they wished before God took him home.

[@dannycastillo_]

I just listened to this album for the first time, it’s the first time I listen something of Shawn Lane and you know what? I loved it.

[@daniellang3782]

Whoever the 11 thumbs down people are, I suspect when they grow up they’ll eventually get it. Shawn Lane is /was the Coltrane, Parker, Byrd of the guitar. Pure musical passion.

[@Miles-wy1zr]

The first two tracks take me to a place I’ve never been before. Good memories listening to the album. Beautiful melodies with a lot of heart.

[@joshuak4372]

Best lead guitar tone I’ve heard in my life. 6:05

[@Simulacrum1310]

That's what god sounds like....this guy it's criminally underrated

[@fernandes5986]

It's like a Christopher Cross ( I know he plays guitar too ) kinda tone, I'm talking about the overall sound you hear on Chris first album, that Michael Omartian production. Shawn's guitar sound is smooth has rich tone and is very ear pleasent. His playin' is soft, emotional or ferocious and fast as light when it needs to be. To the best of my knowledge nobody ever achieved this status. I go to tears everytime I hear Get you back. I sadly miss him. Greetings from Portugal.

[@chriskrausesmovie]

Holy God! Daniel, thanks for saving and sharing this. What an artist Shawn was... I am amazed, particularly the piano piece -- orchestrated! God bless! This is some incredible music.

[@mdm73100]

This is my honest opinion if this Powers of Ten etc… I’ve been on guitar for nearly 35 years … This Album is Great ..However does not give the guitar world what he is truely capable of at all…..Shawn’s true talent is playing live.. Shawn while a great composer and pianist etc… He is the greatest guitar player to have ever lived..still to this day years and years later players still catch catch up..his live playing is from Gods chair..!

[@nucemgd]

this is the version with sean rickman palaying drums right? I had the original cd with shawn playing all the instruments....

[@joepipe1010]

Sure better than Vai . Big soul here ! In some moments he reminds me Eric Johnson. Rip Shawn

[@pauloguitar4366]

He was a big fan of Eric Johnson. Lots of his 5s playing were taken from Eric's playing, but he took it to the next level, doing it descending and ascending sequences.

[@itsvoogle]

Dont really see this constant need to compare between two artists: both are amazing and very unique and different players in their own right. I enjoy not only listening but have also learned plenty from both, and consider them both geniuses in their own very unique and original ways, Anytime people go ahead and compare guitarists "skills" i feel like like they are comparing between dick sizes, unless YOUR sleeping with them who cares....

[@johnny-r]

His mastery and authority have amazed me since the first time I heard him play.

[@Zero_Ego]

This album is mind blowing. As a fellow composer I was immediately stuck by the eccentric harmonic changes as they move around in and out of keys shaping new ideas endlessly surprising the listener. Shawn's compositions catch you out because the ideas are so rich and dynamic. Dynamic ideas just flow and morph dancing shaping into unpredictable brilliance. Such a masterful sound scape artist. Never anything like it. Bravo I just loved this hidden masterpiece.

[@HoofHearted6]

Beautifully said. This album cleanses the soul.

[@buskerwilkie448]

One of the best albums of all time.

[@YoungUnicorn]

Happy 60th Shawn, wish you were here ♥

[@JadeTwo]

For those who don't know - Shawn Lane played the drums on this album with his fingers on a keyboard. "The drums I played rather in the manner of Future Man with Bela Fleck. I’d seen them play a lot and instead of playing on the Synthaxe, I did it on the drums, on the keyboards. So I played the drums with my fingers, on the keyboard keys."

[@joshuak4372]

This is actually the 1992 version with the 93 GYB and WSB. The real 93 version has a totally different running order and different version of Esperanto.

[@markbarboza1407]

[@daveluke5416]

A lot of comparison between him and Jason Becker, Guthrie Govan, Steve Vai, but in my opinion, and i've just heard this today for the first time, but he integration between different styles, blows them all away! I'm floored by his compositions ... almost reminds me of the Return to Forever super-group (Al Dimeola, Chick Corea, Stanley Clark, Lenny White), but with some modern shred!! Sad to see he left this earth too early....

[@scottdreher8122]

Such a great talent and master of melody and tone. Couldn't agree more about his diversity beyond the others mentioned. I make a closer comparison to Eric Johnson in that regard. But, make no mistake, Shawn was his own unique player and composer.

[@elpolitemexa2272]

My first impression of Shawn was Chick Corea if he was a shred guitarist

[@davyboy9397]

Shawn Lane Allan Holdsworth Guthrie Govan

[@rjc7289]

As a guitarist and musician, Shawn knew absolutely no boundaries! If any of us had a fraction of 1% of his talent, then maybe we'd be able to say something substantial as musicians! He truly was on another level above and beyond us mere mortals! God rest his soul.

He leaves everybody else behind. This is no longer a “guitar instrumental”. We all know how those go, they go low they go high they go fast they go slow.

I wrote it as tribute to Shawn, who is a big inspiration for me , hope you like it 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 for 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..

Beautiful and special in soo many ways and emotions I cannot articulate with words

[@ovidiudumitrescu5898]

Best guitar hero album ever released.Timeless masterpiece...True perrection.

[@CapOlimar]

Get You Back and Gray Pianos Flying are just magical, something special. If only Shawn were still around.

[@Bryguys91]

Brilliant melodic album. Shawn Lane could shred like the best but he has musicality and melody. Lots of speed shredders don't have that. Plus he was just an amazing musician not just a guitarist

[@zaccyo]

Is it Sean Rickman in these??? Thank you so much for uploading!!

[@jonimunukka9238]

I think Shawn plays drums himself on this record, but I'm not completely sure

[@zaccyo]

@@jonimunukka9238 you're right - he did play himself. I read it recently in an old interview of his:)

Sean Rickman played on Get You Back and West Side Boogie on the second edition of Powers of Ten (this video is the second edition). Those 2 tracks were re-recorded (in a studio in California). Shawn lane played and tracked all instruments on the first release of Powers of Ten, which was recorded at his grandma's house, where he used to live. He got a contract and was paid in advance by Warner and used the money to put together a studio (and to buy a nice home theater too). Do you want more cool info? on Get You Back (and quite possibly West Side Boogie) they didn't use a metronome. Sean Rickman was the metronome man. More cool info? For this version of Get You Back, Shawn Lane used a Marshall amp that belonged to Eddie Van Halen. He actually preferred his Gjika Gold Amp, which was darker in tone, but Andy Johns, the producer/audio engineer insisted on having brighter guitar sounds. West Side Boogie was recorded with the Gjika Gold Amp, though.

Shawn Lane had no equal

[@michaelcollums4197]

Yes on the original recording Shawn programed all percussion on a drum machine. Just another talent the man had.

Shawn Lane was and will always be a once-in-a-lifetime phenomenon, a true shooting star!
