I'm a guitarist with two decades of experience and this thing is still untouchable. Simply, not of this world.

Shawn Lane, the greatest saxophonist to never play one

This guitar solo is the absolutely highest level of playing. It's the perfect marriage of high technique, soul, creativity and executional dynamics. Stunning.

He changed my life ..a few months before his death ..he played in my state .. .forever grateful for that ..Rip master

The melody is spiritual, and comes not from many years of unrequited love, but many lifetimes.

First heard this song when I was in High School. My local video store had a copy of an instructional VHS with a bunch of different guitarists. One of them was Shawn playing this track live at Musicians Institute. I'm 43 years old now and this tune still hits just as hard as it did when I was a kid. Nobody like Shawn.

From soul to fingers, flawlessly. This song is perfect. Shawn was from an outer dimension.

This song feels like a good ending to a long story

That snare is amazing

To the Parents of Shawn Lane, Thank you. Your son brings me pleasure and pain. It's a pleasure to play his music on my guitar. It's a pain to get it to sound like I think he would want.

This version has Sean Rickman playing. One of the most underrated albums ever.

Shawn has the hands down most melodic and musical shred albums ever made imo

Son personas unicas que aparecen en decadas....Shawn...Paco de Lucia...Picasso....

I'm a guitarist....and that is one of the best guitar solos I've ever heard. He has the chops, obviously, but his note choice and phrasing are incredible. He always ends his phrases on the correct notes which fit the melody, which is the touch of a master...

Uma das musicas mais lindas que ja ouvi em toda minha vida!

Shawn ? One of the greatest guitarists of all time. virtuoso, sensitive in his guitar playing. I listen to him, and one gun sinks. The angels are happy to have you.

Wtf, 33k views only!!!? This is one of the best instrumentals i've heard in my damn life.

From 2:57 to the end is the greatest bit of guitar playing in the history of guitar playing.

Really one of my favorite cuts along with “Once Upon a Time..,one of the greatest players that walked this earth. RIP brother Shawn.

Purity of soulfulness, flawless and genius musician he was.

I have listened to this album in 2005. It is so beautiful and powerful at the same time. But it always make me feel a little sad. I dont know why, but I love this album so much.

I remember hearing Guthrie Govan covering this song and thats the first time I've seen him struggling to match another guitarists speed.

The most underrated guitar player and song. Absolutely sublime on every level.

Why is it every Shawn Lane piece makes you sad? What a musician!!! I wish life was extended in eternity.

greatest tone ever

What an amazing song....After 3:00 all his phrases are worldclass level

Shawn Lane and Frank Gambale very alike as regards composing

LOVE this tune and this KING of guitar! RIP Shawn.

Thanks a lot for the upload, I'm sure Shawn would be proud to see fans and enthusiats keep his great legacy alive and intact. I can easily say that's my favorite version of this wonderful song, as I like the production just a little bit better on this alternate version. Can't get enough of this one, really. Anyway, "Powers of Ten" definitely is an overlooked masterpiece of a record, from one of the best players to appear in the 90's (in a decade where amazing players like Petrucci, Vai, Gilbert & co. absolutely shone bright, you can say competition was very fierce in that department back then !). That's worth something... R.I.P. Mr. Shawn Lane, your incredible skills and artistry are sorely missed...

soul

Shawn big big big guitars man. Big emotion.

i love shawn lane but cant help but think this song would be the most amazing intro music to an 80's detective show lol

dam that fade out... he wasnt finished!

Im highlighting his guitar sound.. Genius.. I like this

One of my fav songs of all time

First time I heard this, Guthrie Govan, transcrbed it in an English Guitar Magazine. I listened to it an thought how in the heck can someone transcribe this? I went out bought 3 or 4 Shawn Lane CD's. Wow what a guitarist, I think many new fusion players, have been inspired, and copy Shawn. I wish more people heard his fantastic playing, but he was just too good, advanced for simple pentatonic blues kinda players.

Love you forever ..

my mind is blown

What an incredible mind and spirit.

Listening to this right now to get me through this day! Thank God for this

Absolutely brilliant but it kills me when it starts fading out just as Shawn’s playing is hitting peak momentum

Thank you for this, I was looking for this version, the best imo. He's pouring his soul out towards the end. Amazing piece of music.

Luscious

Aside from Jimi Hendrix who pretty much invented electric guitar as we know it today, I've no doubts Shawn was the greatest guitar player in history.

many thanks RP, he was a one off and way before his time

Yes he is and stays the greatest

Amazing track !!!

He could have shredded from start to finish but built the song beautifully before shredding at the end. A lot of other players could learn from that!!

One of a kind.

Man , the dorian scale sounds awesome! Especially the dorian 7!

damn! this song says 'forget it~!'

'The way it has to be' is my favorite.

ES EL MEJOR VIDEO

muy bueno!!

Genius !!!!

The most insane talent

Reminds me of something from EJ's Tones record

Fantastico

3:29 😢

❤

Are there versions of the other songs from this album with Sean Rickman? His drumming really adds so much to this song.

Bro. Why does it have to fade out like that?

any chance you'd reupload this from 251 kbps to something with higher fidelity?

👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

On my mix it says this song is 4:44.

3:00 3:06 3:07 3:16 3:31

I like the 92 version better beacause of the thing in the Middle...you'll hear it when you hear it

4:20. Also, what a stupid 45 degree angle dropoff fadeout. I want a remaster. Who's with meee.

バッハの生まれ変わりだと思う

Nobody like Shawn Lane

Shawn Lane ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
