Actually the reason was that, you couldn't rely on the VHS tapes to play at the right speed on your equipment so to play along you needed to tune to the video. Play along with this guy? Not so much!
According to Einstein's theory of General Relativity, Shawn Lane lived about 2000 years. To us, it just appeared as a small handful of decades because of his relative velocity.
Look no guitar compares to those who are dead like Lane but c'mon Einstein couldn't play a guitar cause he was brain ridden with space and time . . Glad too his brain was too far advanced. Yup y'all are gone technology is eliminating our youth and thrivatory. Reason there's no soul but you phone and computer 😊
Both humorously but ultimately analogically speaking; that truthfully: this is the reality that exemplifies of what Shawn Lane was: He was most certainly way ahead of his time.
First time I saw MAB I thought it was some kind of satire like a weird Al yankovic thing. But no. He takes himself seriously. His "music" is absolutely awful.
One of the great things about Shawn’s playing is that while he was a monster player and obviously very capable of delving into fusion, he was very grounded in a lot of pentatonic and bluesy ideas. Lots of taste and soul in his phrasing. He knew how to add space to his lines. He could keep his foot off the gas when it suited. Love his tone.
Shawn was without a doubt the greatest Guitar player, but he was also an amazing Piano player and singer. Look up some of his Piano videos. They are insane.
Since the comment nearly a year ago below i have actually acquired a Shawn Lane signature guitar from Patrice Vigier. It's a marvelous guitar, the 2 most distinctive features are the flat fretboard and absence of a truss rod. ;~)
6672rock Yeah! People look at the left hand, but the real magic is in what the right has to do, too. I don’t even know how that level of precision is possible, however many hours you put into it, unless you really are born to do it.
First time heard of Shawn Lane, that was about 10 minutes ago, I had to pick up my brain off the floor and readjust my ears. Lots of the very advance players throughout they years sparkly very highly of this guy describing him as "terrifying," "majestic," among other terms you would describe a traumatic experience. Look forward to hearing more but I have to take small bite sizes.
I've been playing guitar for 9 years, and heard of Shawn Lane's name passed around for awhile now. Watching his stuff, he is not only technically gifted, but he also has such a great sense of melody, phrasing, and music in general. He also seems like such a nice person, too. Such a shame that he passed away.
Paul Gilbert called him the scariest guitarist that ever lived, who also had amazing phrasing. if I ever get the chance I'd like to visit the Vigier Luthiers/factory in France where Shawn's signature Excalibur guitar is built.
@@commiehunter733 Shawn used Vigier from about 1995 until he died in 2003. There's a great video of him playing a new design of Vigier at NAMM 1996 with Holberg on bass{the Ten minute version is better than the one that's been shortened to half the time..."Shawn Lane Legacy" is the current name of the TH-cam channel, which has changed its name over the years, and is run by his family.} It looks exactly the same as mine( which I bought new in 2017) except for the Pickups which changed over the years.
Before I used to show people the likes of Paul Gilbert and Rustey Cooley when I wanted to show immense speed and Malmsteen, John Browne and Tosin Abasi when I wanted to show technical precision and effortless.. Now I just show them Shawn Lane to fit it all into one person lol
Shawn Lane, proving you don't need long Steve Vai spider fingers to break the sound barrier. So whenever I give a lesson and the student says, 'my hands aren't big enough', I show them a Shawn Lane video. No excuses beginners!
Hey, what's that that burning smell? Oh yeah, I just burnt my guitars. My new hobby will probably be knitting or walking in straight lines. What an immense musician, wow!
T. Cox Hi T, after reading your wise advice I got a new axe and put in the work. I am now perfectly executing 32nd note 3 octave whole tone scale runs going up in 4ths from the low F. Who says TH-cam is populated by narcissistic morons hiding behind servers, clearly not all sensai. Next... I plan to take on the Kazoo
He uses a technique where he anchors his wrist and uses that as the fulcrum point for his picking. You can tell by the way he contorts his wrist as he approaches the lower (in pitch) strings. Using this method is less accurate at the beginning and makes palm muting almost impossible, but it's just about the only way to even approach his speeds. He's essentially using the tremolo picking technique to run scale patterns.
thats basically how guthrie teaches people to get fast, practise tremelo first, apply it to all your picking, he probably got that idea from shawn lane
He smirks after saying "let's get started by... tuning". Maybe cause he knows that's the only exercise most of us will be able to handle. If examples 1 & 2 are the easiest ones then I'm in trouble.
Not many comment on his seamless, ferocious picking technique. It's in a similar vein to other great players such as George Benson, Chris Poland, Bruce Bouilliet and even early Paul Gilbert where they tilt the pick back and use the thumb, index and middle finger pads contrary to the more standard grip of resting it between the side of the index finger and thumb, employing a forward-tilt. One of the finest players ever and this REH instructional material is timeless!
True. But by the same token, beginners ought see these things from Shawn and other advanced players for the sake and purpose of inspiration so that they have good influences and go in a good, true and real way. Could be just the boost that all of electric music needs.
..His rt. had is amazingly accurate....All of it actually but the 1st thing I noticed was his rt. hand picking work. Just astounding. Fantastic talent & now he's gone. RIP Shawn Lane.....
Well, I've heard of this guy, now hearing him and listening to him talk...I'm totally floored by his technique....not sure what to do now with my guitar. I should go back to laying carpet.
Iam just now getting into this guy...it's too bad this type of playing goes over most people's heads...yeah it is a little over the top but he is very musical and plays tastefully fast in my opinion
Is it true that Shawn Lane died broke or almost broke? I know he never made a lot of money and that's sad because he certainly deserved to make a lot of money in the music business. I can only surmise it was his choice of music that he played which appealed to too small of an audience to ever be able to make good money from his guitar playing. Lane is proof that no matter how talented one is, if he chooses to pursue a career that caters to a very small "niche audience" he can't expect to make a good living doing it.
Kendall2001 He had major health problems which were a major problem for an uninsured musician and at that time the condition he had was not manageable except with high doses of steroids which caused other issues. Sadly, his condition today would have been easily managed with meds. The same type of arthritic condition he had Alex Lifeson of Rush is afflicted with today yet he's still playing on stages on tour this year.
+Kendall2001 Be careful about the lessons you draw from Lane's career. Groundbreaking original artists are almost forced to create their own audience, and I doubt many of them ever decide they'd prefer it to be a small one. He was simply inventing his own guitar style, dictated by his amazing creativity, probably hoping to draw as many listeners as possible. There are many factors involved in determining how any music career goes, so I don't think the assumption that Lane was playing to small audiences because he made a decision to "cater to a very small" audience, is warranted. Its more likely he never made such a choice. His marketing issues probably had more to do with the music business, problems with Sony records, etc, than with his choice of what and how to play.
+Kendall2001 He also had psoriasis and no insurance for a very long time. I wouldn't doubt he was still in debt by the time it killed him because of all the other bills and problems it caused, and since he only lived till 43.
Being a "groundbreaking musician" hardly condemns someone to financial ruin and obscurity. Jimi Hendrix, Jimmy Page, Eddie Van Halen and Yngwie Malmsteen are just a few of the groundbreaking artists who did extremely well creating their own audience and making a lot of money doing it.
+Kendall2001 Of course those are the names we all know because they really did make it big. For every "groundbreaking musician" who makes it big, there are probably 10k that nobody ever hears about. There are a lot of factors that determine the particulars of a given musician's career, and it is no simple matter to "do extremely well by creating your own audience, and making a lot of money doing it". In fact, none of the people you mentioned really did create their own audience, except in the sense that they made names for themselves as anyone must. But they made their fortunes by tapping into an existing audience. For one thing, they are all rock guitarists; to be a groundbreaking rock guitarist in a pop culture for which no instrumentalist is more iconic than the rock guitarist is clearly a big advantage over, say trying to hit it big with a groundbreaking Gamelan orchestra, or as a brilliant Carnatic virtuoso such as Mandolin Srinivas (although thanks to John McLaughlin's Remember Shakti, he did enjoy a wider audience than most great Indian musicians will ever enjoy). Mandolin Srinivas in many ways broke far more ground in his field than any of the guitarist you mentioned with the possible exception of Jimi Hendrix, who really was a musical revolutionary, even though he was a blues and rock guitarist. Not only were your success examples tapping into the popularity of rock guitar, but all are tied to styles that were trending when they became (in the case of all but Yngwie), household names. Jimi and Jimmy were both riding the wave of the blues revival that was sweeping England, and then came to the states as the "British invasion", ironic in Jimi's case, since he wasn't British, yet had to get popular there, before being accepted in his own country.

So imagine how much harder it would be to "create your own audience", with microtonal music, or atonal music, or Turkish music, or anything outside of the broad category called "pop", which after all, is short for "popular". Masses of people don't generally embrace something, no matter how brilliant, which sounds completely alien to them, hence, success as a groundbreaking artist depends largely on not being overly groundbreaking.
Why is everyone chewing on Yngwie and Slash, as if they are two of the shittiest guitar players ever? Most speed metal guitarists play only in one style and Yngwie's one of more versatile speed metal guitar players. And people say Slash sucks because he's sloppy, then why do people always defend most of the other classic rock guiar players who are very sloppy compared to contemporary virtuosos? This shit is seriously getting old.
He wasn't better on piano. He should have smoked all Cziffras and Hamelins of this world, that's how good he was on the guitar. There is no way for him to be better on piano. Piano might have been his favourite way of writing music or expressing himself, but he was better on the guitar than on the piano. That being said, his keyboard solos were the shit. I'd love to hear more.
Băi, țăranilor, ia ascultați voi ce vă cântă Unchiul Shawn (hodinească-se în pace) la 6:36. Asta-i da! Pariu că 95% vă holbați ca vițelu'' la poarta nouă! Pentru restul, TOT RESPECTUL!

The Bob Ross of shredding
I love how most of these old VHS instructional tapes start with teaching you how to tune.. only to jump to insane shredding a few minutes later.
XD amazing
Actually the reason was that, you couldn't rely on the VHS tapes to play at the right speed on your equipment so to play along you needed to tune to the video. Play along with this guy? Not so much!
Very humble, soft-spoken dude. None of that "rockstar" bullshit with him, just a monster player.
Agree and respect. Eric Hoffman brought me here from Amon, ex Deicide guitar legend.
Except Dimebag, he was the nicest guy that you can call rockstar
@@xtravehnapaahto69 Only the greats break the mold
100% humble and gentle. Pure genius and warm hearted guy. Such a loss. No one will ever be like him
According to Einstein's theory of General Relativity, Shawn Lane lived about 2000 years. To us, it just appeared as a small handful of decades because of his relative velocity.
unclemeat1977 nice
That's why !!!
You be right
@@hosoiarchives4858 Actually I'd totally buy into that, joke apart.
Look no guitar compares to those who are dead like Lane but c'mon Einstein couldn't play a guitar cause he was brain ridden with space and time . . Glad too his brain was too far advanced. Yup y'all are gone technology is eliminating our youth and thrivatory. Reason there's no soul but you phone and computer 😊
It's insane to see Shawn Lane was pulling off licks like this 20 years before anyone else
indeed
If MAB has got the key to the lambo, Shawn has got the key to the Time Machine.
Both humorously but ultimately analogically speaking; that truthfully: this is the reality that exemplifies of what Shawn Lane was: He was most certainly way ahead of his time.
First time I saw MAB I thought it was some kind of satire like a weird Al yankovic thing. But no. He takes himself seriously. His "music" is absolutely awful.
Shawn and Mab don't belong in the same sentence, unless it is a sentence explaining how terrible MAB is and how awesome Shawn is in comparison.
Batio would agree 🤣
MAB is really great musician too. But Shawn was more of composer.
One of the great things about Shawn’s playing is that while he was a monster player and obviously very capable of delving into fusion, he was very grounded in a lot of pentatonic and bluesy ideas. Lots of taste and soul in his phrasing. He knew how to add space to his lines. He could keep his foot off the gas when it suited. Love his tone.
"he was very grounded in a lot of pentatonic and bluesy ideas..." right...I hear blues all over this...right...
The guy is so damn good, it's unbelievable. Not a shocker that so many of my guitar heroes speak of him with awe.
Talent plus lots of practice = greatness.
I can't imagine on what level of skills he would be when alive now. Genius of all time!
I'd bet he'd have branched off into something weird.
Before He was a monster..
If He was alive will be a super mega space monster.
his ability to play will decline by now due to age. his fingers can't cope up due to arthritis
He would not have been the same as he was already in pain often by the time he passed. It would have been severe by this point had he lived
If only he never had the medical issues he had... same with Jason Becker. It really isn't fair.
he mastered the guitar, his playing is stunning
It's been more than a decade since his passing and I still lament that he, and more recently Allan Holdsworth, are gone...
rip. if alive, is best guitarist off all time
Sadly, he passed away.
Buckethead said it himself, Shawn Lane was " The greatest guitarist of all time "
Shawn was without a doubt the greatest Guitar player, but he was also an amazing Piano player and singer. Look up some of his Piano videos. They are insane.
Since the comment nearly a year ago below
i have actually acquired a Shawn Lane signature guitar from Patrice Vigier.
It's a marvelous guitar,
the 2 most distinctive features are the flat fretboard and absence of a truss rod.

My God, that right hand of his picks with machine-like precision! To pick that fast and clean is damn near impossible for most guitarists.
6672rock Yeah! People look at the left hand, but the real magic is in what the right has to do, too. I don’t even know how that level of precision is possible, however many hours you put into it, unless you really are born to do it.
Paul gilbert does it 8x accurate, with stacatto clarity . Hes the godliest picker, he basically raped alternate picking
@orangeclawhammer777 ce spune?
As fi vrut să.l vad pe Shawn in duet cu Becker...pff... perfecțiune absolută
this is true

Not for humans😳
That's what they practice at kindergarten in Asia.

Even when he tuned his guitar, he plays better than me ...
WARNING:
When watching Shawn Lane play guitar space and time bend which could cause death. So watch at your own risk!
greatest fretboard hand in human history and im right behind him
I love how they all had to do "this is how to tune" sections in these older videos :D I guess no one had tuners back then?
The another Legend!

Wow! i never looked at it that way. Its like photography. Study composition of paintings...then take pictures!
What's cool is to play "Quads" like this, to Triplet timing:) Sounds like an Irish Jig:)

guy was a super human , just had to make sure my playback was on normal and not 2x speed
A guitar legend

+Dao Yang but Shawn Lane wasn't fat because of food, he was very ill.
***** I know, i get triggered when people tell me he's fat and stupid as if he ate himself to death. I fucking hate people.

Welcome to my instructional video about the most terrifying things you've ever seen.
Thanks MASTER
"What I've been asked about a lot". We must know alien like techniques!
Reminds me kind of like an Eric Johnson on Roids ! Damn , I wish I had heard of him while he was alive.
Does anyone know if the song at 2:20 onward has a name? Please let me know, thanks
its from the shawn lane - sneaky pete's video thats also on youtube :D
That pattern he uses shifts though major, mix and phry....
E 124
A 124
D 124
G 124
B 235
E 235
Brilliant!
What the name of the second song he plays?
Continuum tuning flageolette by J. Pastorius.
Very good job
the guitar models used for shawn are? please i would like to know in detail....
In this lesson he is using an Ibanez Custom Shop
that horastaccato for a beginner is tough.
The GOAT, case closed.
there is no noise great playing
What is the song played at 1:40?
When you see a monster talent like lane you realise what a onw trick pony malmsteen is.
What a stupid thing to say. Lane was brutal, but why throw Yngwie under the bus?
Yeah but it's one hell of a trick.
nicely played!
Shawn would be the first one to shut your mouth. Young Yngwie is still unparalleled.
Why is everyone chewing on Yngwie and Slash, as if they are two of the shittiest guitar players ever?
Most speed metal guitarists play only in one style and Yngwie's one of more versatile speed metal guitar players.
And people say Slash sucks because he's sloppy, then why do people always defend most of the other classic rock guiar players who are very sloppy compared to contemporary virtuosos?
This shit is seriously getting old.
anyone know the name of the track playing at the beginning of the video? Thanks :)
Brilliant
Name of the second song of the begining?
Whays the song hes playing at the beggining?
WHO THE HECK IS THIS LESSON FOR.... GOD ?????
Hahahahha
I might as well be watching quantum physics lessons. My eyes blurred.
Hey guys what song does Shawn play from 1:38?
power solos download? please
Space Invaders! Ha! Sounds like he is, "Exciting" the strings!
When was this recorded ?
If Paul Gilbert calls you terrifying...
The only thing I can play in this video is the tuning!
Where can I find the video for the song at 1:40?
That's Shawn Lane-Not again (the live version).
John Coltrane of guitar
I wonder what the fretboard ratio is on that guitar. Looks very flat, maybe a 16 inch?
It was a one-off from Ibanez, so who knows, but his Vigier model has a completely flat fretboard.
what does he say at 5:37
he says "you know i practiced ..." and i never understood the last words
what does he say??
+Doktor Jekyll van Hyde ...... I haven't practiced the technique in 8 or 9 years.....
***** ahhh ok thank you
When buckethead is humbled......uhhhh....yea!
the best on guitar but even better on piano
He wasn't better on piano. He should have smoked all Cziffras and Hamelins of this world, that's how good he was on the guitar. There is no way for him to be better on piano. Piano might have been his favourite way of writing music or expressing himself, but he was better on the guitar than on the piano.
That being said, his keyboard solos were the shit. I'd love to hear more.
at times it looks like shawn has eight fingers just how fast they are burning up the fretboard
Pro
Only cat that could keep up with Mr Lane would be Paul Gilbert🤘
Băi, țăranilor, ia ascultați voi ce vă cântă Unchiul Shawn (hodinească-se în pace) la 6:36. Asta-i da! Pariu că 95% vă holbați ca vițelu'' la poarta nouă! Pentru restul, TOT RESPECTUL!
9:33 - The speed he says dah dah dada. His brain must just be faster. I can't say it half that speed.
Ok, let's see lesson 2... (sold my guitar, that was just a mistake).
6:35, an "exorcise".. ok lol
And Taylor Swift is the new Van Halen? Who's the new Shawn Lane, little Wayne?
LOL!!! Right???
@PFCBall God ! XD
Holy shit

heard even had arthritis
