@DT C Yeah that part was weird

Did you get the low E detune bend in?

Hahahaha biiiitch

I still have trouble with that🤓👌

Nah, I'm pretty sure you're way better than you think you are. Most guitar players ARE way better than think they are.

And he could do the same on keyboard!

@@wattage2007 Absolutely! And it’s such a shame that there isn’t a lot of footage of him playing piano/keyboard, because he’s one of the best on that instrument as well! 😁

PLUS he had terrible arthritis in his hands. His whole career.

that is the mark of a true virtuoso. everything is effortless for them.

For those who know, he is.

He really is one of the only guitarists (Danny Gatton is also really good) who I think compares to Art Tatum's virtuosity and musical genius. You can tell how much he loved music from his playing

@@thomashightower7881yeah him and yngwie malmsteem are out of this world one in a billion type guys

Have things improved? What's so terrible?

God bless you brother keep your head high and never give up

Playing good guitar is a great achievement already ! Improving garanties work forever ! Enjoy !

Whatever it takes bro. Also look up Scotty West

One step at a time brother

I mostly agree but check out Marshall Harrison here on youtube.

I would like to add Rusty Cooley..

​@@carvinsmith8068 ...pfff....😄

@@carvinsmith8068 Rusty doesn't really cut it live though. Blazing speed when sitting down for his instructional stuff but live, he doesn't seem to pull it off.

Don't forget the maestro, Gambale.

REH was the producer/manufacturer I believe.

Really? I didn't know that. What a shame. Imagine all the music he could have made, at least he made a massive impact.

Thanks for that comment brother!!

Wow, I'm not sure. If he had really stretched in that 3rd video my head would have most likely turned to pudding! Absolutely the best!

there is a video of shawn doing a clinic talking about eastern groupings , kind of like drumming rudiments , paradiddles , but he counts the eastern sylables , Takadimi , and there are many more . Steve Smith the drummer from Journey fame , and Fusion jazz , also uses the same technique

Agreed!!

Guthrie Govan is in his league now

In fact, in my humble opinion Shawn Lane is not the most skilled guitar player ever. I mean, being fast in some patterns, repetitive and symetrical stuff is nothing to do with being the most Skilled in the guitar. What i see in Lane is a lack of creatiivity in his solos, if you listen one, you listen them all. That is because is very repetitive in his lines, a lot of 3 note per string. And the speed he got there is a lot of players who can reach it in a certain point on a solo. I give you some examples: John Petrucci in long track on first album by Liquid Tension Experiment. Petrucci gets crazy fast by combining 3 note per string and another note in other string. And he do it a lot in a lot os songs. Another one is Chris Impellitteri en his Speed Soloing video, Francesco Fareri and Rusty Cooley too. But there are still not the most skilled players ever who can make runs with difficult patterns in all the neck. Shawn Lane even not Sweep, how can be the mos skilled Player without making some good Sweeping stuff? The most skilled player ever in my opinion is Jason Becker. That guy was crazy in every aspect in the guitar, complete in all senses. Just watch Paganini caprice #5 version of Jason Becker and it's just tremendous. The is a momment where Becker gets 22 notes per second. And he is not just making normal runs and stuff, he is playing difficult patterns and shapes, stretch fingers, his fingers looks like a Giant Spider to me. Jason Becker is the god of the Arpeggios ( Sorry Frank ) Is the most gifted player ever, at age 16-17 was playing for Cacophony and creating SMS an album that is like the bible of shred. And when he was 18-19 make a solo album Perpetuak Burn that is a very challenging album in all senses, but not only for the skills and patterns, but is because the music, the feeling, this guy was in another planet. If Jasin could still play in these days he will be toying with all guitar players around the world. Just imagine, he is still composing, and there is not a single player right now after 30 years able to compose a sweep picking stuff better than Serrana Arpeggios of Becker. Marty Friendman said someday: Jason Becker minds in music and imagination is at the level of Mozart. You need to listen all his work to understand what i have just say. Unreleased demos, auditions for David Lee Roth, tje clinic in Atlanta, Cacophony stuff, rare videos, the greatest of all time. Cheers.

Jason Becker was no Mozart! Good player but the guy never wrote anything memorable! Sweep picking is the most boring technique and it always sounds like the player is playing an exercise.

ricomajestic It depends in your perception. I can say that playing repetitive patterns 3 notrs per string more than 5 seconds is bored too. Jason Becker wrote memorable stuff, Altitudes is not memorable being 18 years old? Air? And a lot of good solos for Cacophony. Being awarded "The best guitar player in the world in 1990" by Guitar magazine at 20 years old. Now just imagine what he will be doing now? And now he can not even play and he is still making music. That is not a genius? In fact, search the word Child Prodigy in Wikypedia and Jason Becker appears as long Mozart and others. ¿Sweep picking is bored? Well, then all classical pianist who played Arpeggios were bored too? Franz liszt? Chopin? Paganini? There is a sweep player in these days that is called Luca Turilli, he is Italian, was athe creator of Rhapsody band and his Arpeggios are very good, not random stuff like a lot of guitar players that only sweep without an intention an melodic, but his arpeggios are very melodic and sounds very good with a classical feel in order to achieve the mistycal feel in his fantasy compositions. And Serrana Arpeggios of Becker is a very nice tune to be honest, and it is fast as hell. Just imagine to compose that note by note? By the way, in the second session of the Atlanta Clinic in 1989 by Jason Becker in the second part he plays a lot of Blues stuff, he was moving in that style and combining his shred and skills with Blues it was just amazing. Becker was in another level. Search it, that clinic in youtube, it is only audio because it was never recorded. Do not confuse with the DVD Atlanta Clinic, that was recorded in video. I mean the second session. Cheers.

there is, lookup marshall harrison he can play shawn lane speed and accuracy, he's flat out amazing

@bodd boward opinions...

​@bodd boward Marshall harrison is shawn 2.0. Sorry you dont see that. His innovation of swbryd has taken guitar to another level that allows even intermediate guitarist the ability to play at ridiculous speeds. And if you want to talk about multi instrument ability marshall harrison also plays classical piano. His abilities span many styles and if you listen to his album presto digitation you would see that

Shawns technical speed was great but I don't think it was very clean. Other than that. His use of synthetical lines was out of this world.... so was holdsworth....

@bodd boward I don't think he was a strong mutter where you mute strings that aren't being played no. But a lot of jazz players don't. He Shawn liked an arch top where he could turn over his picking hand more and that lacks muting of the palm. I'm not saying it wrong. A lot of people play without proper muting. Marty Friedman, Zack Wilde, ect....

Lol

This video isn't meant for beginners lol!!

JackCarlino I think he ran towards his pedalboard. Either way, the note he then played was awesome!

No he didn’t. He haven’t made one single memorable riff or solo

@@LOLLYPOPPE Do your homework!!!

@@Chrisbell804 name a song he’s famous for?

@@LOLLYPOPPE Fame? LOL!!!

@@LOLLYPOPPE seriously ? You talking about fame ? What a poser this guy john is . Such a pus$y minded

Unfortunately Gilmour's Earning per note was much more higher than Shawn's... It’s an unfair world... 😢

Ill take Davids slow meaningful solos over this dudes playing.. Shawn makes me feel like I might have a seizure listening to him play.. so chaotic.😖

@@eldiablo3794 Shawn's playing is light years ahead of what most of us can imagine.

@@eldiablo3794 hell no David Gilmour so overrated. I never want to listen to him. I only want to listen to Shawn Lane. what he plays just sounds so good and so cool.

​@@vanguard4065I love both. There's a time and a place for slow stuff and insane shred. That's why Buckethead is my fav guitarist guy can play like a monster but also has some really mellow stuff

Yeah i wish the video was a little better quality. But i'm thankful for it. Hard to believe we used to watch TV and movies like that back in the 90's and think that was good quality. Seeing it now compared to todays HD and 4K makes you feel like you need glasses.

You are my friend. Shawn was otherworldly.

dont be like that, you are still great regardless of what you see right here! there still some people that cant even play the comfortably numb solo, so kind keep that in mind when you see people like shawn lane, allan holdsworth, and guthrie govan.👍

You are welcome man! Check my band at kzfaq.info

One of the only guitarists I've seen that comes close to his speed and articulation would be Michael Romeo.

Looool

jason aint dead yet... jeez

@@brucefouts974 and I never said he was.

You are so right ... Also often the most talented people have bad financial luck. Allan Holdsworth is an example of this. In his last years he was struggling to pay his bills and his health was declining as a result...

Agreed.. but also his speed and technique are second to none.

Example 1 is scary. I never made it passed Example 2.

Sounds like a giant mount of shit

@@OuttakedPerformancesTM well you came to this video knowing what it was. Clearly can't play a bar of it and thought insulting it would make you feel better about your lack of abilities. Well done

@@joshmuz9018 Well, lol. I was actually talking about that first nonsense solos. Those are fucking shit. But the examples are cool. And I think I can play that. Eric Johnson and Greg Howe are my all time favorites. Greg Howe have some really complex stuff to teach us.

@@OuttakedPerformancesTM You can play that? Sure

Yeah, fingering (find the logic in it) is the ultimate goal to play smoothly guitar. It is the essence.

Well since you can't play guitar worth a shit...Shut up bitch... Fucking part timers like you are stupid as fuck

@@jomama9445 Thanks for the constructive criticism. I always appreciate the opinion of accomplished and well known professional musicians such as yourself.

You are welcome!

Could you please tell me how he picked it? I've tried to figure it out myself but it just never really worked out

+Adrian May You are welcome! I hope it can be useful for you!

probably has something to do with stretching the hand span for piano as a child. kind of like how children, male or female can do ballistic stretching for splits as children and achieve elasticity,where as past a certain age, no way. also some people may have dynamic dexterity as a gift. I personally am amazed at Shawn's 2 note per string pentatonics utilizing 3 and 4s 5s and 3s , 3s and sixes. that alone is valuable, to work out picking for those sequences. Eric Johnson does that as well, where as many of his licks don't require stretching, but many players will do sequences of 5s, with a 3 note per string fretting technique. In this video, Shawn shows it is not necessarily the rule I personally stay away from wide stretching, I used to do it, but it seems almost anything can be played with out wide stretches

I don't think he's got either small or large hands I think they're about average

Sounds like he's playing early 1980's video games sped up on guitar lol

Yea I literally drooled.

...the drumming here sounds much like my 5 year-old going bezerk on the kit in the basement😜😆
