Anyone else really likes Shawn Lane?


I think, he is quite incredible. I especially like his playing with Jonas Hellborg on bass.
His guitar sings. Very authentic.

Everyone interested in guitar music heard Segovia. And many others. To put other things aside because it's a matter of taste, his technique is quite weak compared to some guitar players including Shawn Lane.
Segovia plays classical and does it okay; Shawn Lane could play just about anything including classical as can John McLaughlin. And the best Spanish guitar I heard is Paco de Lucia. In fact, I would really like to hear McLaughlin/Lane duo with Jonas Hellborg or Dominique Di Piazza on bass and Trilok Gurtu on percussion. Not going to happen - Shawn is gone forever. Such a great performer, just listen to how he plays blues and improvised fusion. True art, like it or not.
