We just met Jake the Snake and he turned us on to this website and the talented musician, Shawn Lane. A Memphis legend. Thanks Jake!
Shawn tu à etais un exemple pour toute une génération de guitariste et je te remercie du fond du coeur pour tout se que tu a apporté a la musique, je ne t'ai jamais rencontré et malheureusement cela n'arrivera jamais, mais sache que tu a laisser une trace indélébile dans mon coeur, et que peut etre sans toi je n'aurais pas pris la voie de la musique comme profession.
Je voulait que tu sache que tu vas bien nous manquer a tous car tu étais vraiment quelqu'un d'extraordinaire tant par ton génie musical que par ta prestence et ta présence étais pour plus d'un le passage d'un ouragan de créativiter et d'amour de la guitare et de la musique en générale.
encore merci a toi on pense a toi et j'espere que sur ton nuage la haut tu continu à faire ces chose que seul toi pouvais faire.
je tennais aussi avec certe un retard de pres de 5 ans envoyer tout mon respect et mes sincere condoléance a toute ta famille et leur donnés par la même toute mon affection.
bien cordialement,
Arthur GRANIER

J ai decouvert shawn il n'y a pas trés
longtemps, a mes débuts à la guitare (2001), il m'a fait prendre concsience de tellement de chose sur cette instrument
que je pourrai faire une list d'une 100 aine de pages.
I would like to wish to shawn's family to try to be strong.Besides He always played strong in his very own way.I wish i had met him.
I used to go to Alfreds East in the late 80's and would see Shawn and the Willy's play. Wow was he great, I had a friend who was a good guitar player, and he knew how great Shawn really was. God bless he and his family.
I just heard Shawn for the first time and the man was incredible. I wish I could have seen one of his shows. He has a new fan. Godbless.
shawn is without doubt one of the very best guitar players i have ever heard , every time i put his music on i hear and learn new things. he is sadly missed .
SHAWN LANE IS THE BEST. NO DOUBT.

Dear family,
I discovered Shawn, and his music, today. I was moved by his artistry, and genius.
It was a shock to learn of his passing. Please accept my condolances.
sincerely,

i recently discovered the real magic of this great man. it is a pity he´s not here anymore because he left the whole world waiting for more of that magic. rest in peace bro.
Just when I thought I'd seen my beloved instrument (guitar) stretched to it's capacity to ring true and touch the souls of men...I discover another master of the instrument and he IS Shawn Lane...
Peace to you my friend.
Sorry to say, but Shawn was NOT human!!! No earthling can posess such power and technical perfection!! What a pity if you have never heard his supernatural talents!!! THANK GOD IN THE HIGHEST FOR THE MASTER OF MUSIC SHAWN LANE!!!!!!!!
I'll bet you never heard Shawn's attempt at a product 'commercial'! I had the pleasure of working with him on one in 1985. To hear this 'rare' track, please visit: http://www.hellomemphis.com/Music/Listen.Cfm?MAID=4525
Love you Brother! Mike S.
Shawn Lane = THE BEST
I never had the pleasure of meeting or seeing Shawn Lane play live sadly, but by each song I hear by him and every video I view of his past shows, I see so much love in how he played not just each song, but each note, he is by far one of the greatest influences in my life right now as I continue my learning of the guitar. I send out all the love I can give to his family. and hope to one day touch as many hearts as he did with the gift of music.
I had the pleasure of meeting Shawn in October of 96 in Southampton England after His gig at "The Brook. All I can say is that I have never met Anyone like Shawn Lane. Basically I couldn't keep up with His intelligence in conversation.The books He must have read and the art He inspired to,to have a knowledge like He presented as an individual. He gave Me that Day in 96 as a Day I recall very often, and sometimes think of the People who knew Him, and the pleasures He must have brought to Their lives. Thank You.. Reese Smith.
Wonderfull guitar player.He was the best I've ever heared.He's music and style of playing is original and unrepeatable.My highest recognition !!!
