Shawn, your music fills my soul and broadens my mind. I'm so grateful to you for all the inspiration you gave me. You've walked your own path but you were a beacon for everyone and for me.
And I believe we'll meet again.

I forgot to say something. Several times I spoke to Shawn's mother by phone. She was and I hope still is a charming woman. She once told me she would take Shawn to the library each week as a child and each week would compleatly fill his red wagon with books. Not just childrens books but a wide gamut of literature way beyond the ken of most children. Mam, May god bless you for your intuition and understanding of the exceptional intelligence of your child and for bringing him into the world. We are all in your debt. Anyone who wishes to contact me for stories of this giant among musicians is wecome. Spreding the word of his kindness, gentilness, humor and brilliance would be my pleasure. tjs-c.

Shawn was my friend during the later period of his life. He would come to stay with my friend Trey Naff at his home in rural blacksburg va and I was exceptionally blessed to see him in local venues in my area because of Trey's connection with him. Once on tour I left a band in mid tour in tunica mississippi because Shawn invited me to come see him and stay for a few days. When I arrived at his studio in memphis he was just finishing a recording done for some fairly tuff looking charicters. He performed multiople tracks on drumms piano and guitar. At the end he handed the the tape with no thought of copywrite. One man handed him a pittence of money for this. I was insulted on his behalf and spoke up even though mildly frightened saying " this is the greatest living guitarist in the world. What you have just done is akin to offering picasso a wad of chewing gum for his materpiece Guerica" the man pulled out several more bills and gave the reluctantly to shawn. After they left Shawn hugged me and thanked me profusely for my advocacy. Later that night he honored me by playing some of the recent work he had been doing on the David lynch project. We wound up fly fishing in the river at 4am. He was the finest musician I have ever jamed with and perhaps the brightest man I have ever had the incredible fortune to know. May he be more honored in the next world. T.J.s-c Ma ed LPC

I had the extreme fortune of having listened to Shawn Lane while I was younger, I grew up listening to him, and he's the man that compelled me to play music.
Although I will never be up to par with Shawn Lane, only one person can be that good.
R.I.P Your music will live on forever.

Shawn Lane was and still is the best guitarist in the world ,No one can play as fast as him ......

I had the good fortune of discovering Shawn's expertise as a guitarist in the mid 90's when I played on an album by a group from Canada named the Worrall Brothers who had recorded their album in Memphis where Shawn was apparently a resident guitarist. His playing was imaginative and at the very least awe inspiring. He is sadly missed by anyone who has been touched by his musicianship and love of life. Mat God keep you Shawn Lane. You are remembered with thanks and much respect.

Shawn Lane is and forever will be the best electric guitarist/composer. I do not believe that he will ever be equalled. From the moment I heard "Epilogue For Lisa" and "Get You Back", and "Gray Pianos Flying"...man, this guy was a genius and the most amazing guitar player that ever lived. He had that magic touch...that expressiveness and played with such feeling as to bring a tear to even the most hardened of hearts. God how I miss him and his music. Anyone who's seen his instructional videos will see how humble and kind he was. A truly gentle genius. Mourn his death, but celebrate his legacy. RIP, Mr. Lane. You were the best that ever will be.

I discovered Shawn Lane's playing this year. His abilities and knowledge are out of this world. From the clips I have viewed he seemed like a great teacher as well. If i need to get some inspiration I will youtube some shawn lane. If that does not jump start you nothing will.
