Power Licks

This video is not for beginners. It's not even for advanced players. It's for players with an inhuman skill level...like Shawn Lane.

If you're curious to watch the most devastating speed and precision ever to grace a fretboard, you must get this video. Pentatonic scales, legatos, sweep-picking...Shawn Lane was a master of every facet related to the guitar.

This video is a keepsake and tribute to this late master, an incredibly virtuous musician with Herculean talent. Holdsworth, McLaughlin, Breau, DiMeola, Petrucci, Angelo...all great players, all virtuosos, but not quite at Lane's level.

Amazing.

Great examples of mixing slurs with accented notes, things I never would have thought of. Easy to understand explanations and descriptions of his unbelievable technique. The only drawback is there is no chord section to the video, and a few great licks slip by without transcription.

This guy is absolutely, amazingly talented. He demonstrates how flawlessly fast he is and how much theory he knows, but I haven't actually learned anything very usefull from this vid, yet. The booklet is not transcibed by him and whoever did got most of it totally wrong (many times, Shawn's fingers are in a totally different area of the fretboard), rendering it basically useless.

A must buy of Shawn Lane's demo   October 21, 1999
A very good video from Shawn Lane, excellent demostration on his speed. And you will be enlightened. The tab booklet is good but better if thicker. Get one if you lover "Power of ten"!
