Little Cover: Shawn Lane´s !Hardcase!

Hi there!

Today I was listening to this song by Shawn Lane and it sounded soooooo cool to me that I´ve made a backing with my keyboard and played this tune over and over about an hour :laugh2:
It´s NOT the complete song! Only 2 parts which I found out quite fast..I had no notes and at the end I made a lil improvisation (2:51 till end)

Finally I recorded it. Thanks to my brother who made an incredible job on the sound-tech thing. Awesome!

I wish you lot of fun with that and remember Shawn Lane, who was one of the best guitarists on earth! Rawk! :burnout:

That´s very cool!! I have to buy some records of Shawn..the things I´m familiar with are either from fusion radiostations or fanpages. I´ll get some cash next month. :13:

Very nice job. I am a huge Shawn Lane fan. Many moons ago I was in TN and saw him just rip it up at this little bar on Beale St. Talking about wanting to completely throw in the towel after that.... it was just jaw dropping. He used "Holmes" amps in stereo and his tone was amazing. It was almost soothing. He was an absolutely genius on the same level as any of the world's greatest musicians that ever lived. I am not talking about just guitar players- he was up there with Beethoven, Mozart and the boys. He was even born on Bach's birthday! He was maybe a better piano player than a guitar player!! He also read about 5 books a day and spent a lot of time hanging out in book stores reading on every subject. Just a fabulous musician overall. Some of his licks are just insane. EVERYTHING I ever heard him play sounded very musical (with the exception of his orginal Mike Varney tape ). I went out and bought his instructional video 7 or 8 years ago and it is a blast also... I'd highly recommend it. I'd like to keep his memory alive.... I am dead serious-- if Shawn would have been born during the the late 1600s he would have been right up there with JS Bach. I am convinced.

Great playing man!

The shredding bit at the end got a bit chopped up though. Apart from that the rest sounded awesome.

I'd love to hear you crank it out through a cookin mark series mesa, although I think that may give us all to great a reason to get off here finally and practice.

Re: Little Cover: Shawn Lane´s !Hardcase!

Thanks a lot for the feedback!

I recorded it with my Ibanez, the Korg Ax1500 into the Marshall thing with a Shure SM 57. My bro tweaked some parameters in the record-program.

I agree, my improvisation is not as cool as Shawn´s..but hey..I was aware of that before I started playing.:laugh2:

Nice one! You and your bro are doing some very killer stuff.

Your phrasing keeps getting more and more fluid. As always, I am extremely impressed.

Cool man, I agree with Kevlar, you're getting much more fluid now

Nice work! \m/

Re: Little Cover: Shawn Lane´s !Hardcase!

Cool, thanks for listening.

I´m playing too bluesy..my phrasing is not sophisticated enough...Satriani was a "too" big influence

Thanks man..most appreciated...but the last thing that I am is "too good" :laugh2: I´m playing for over 12 years but the last 3 years I´m playing guitar more serious and intensive. Played piano before I started playing guitar seriously but I´m still playing piano cause it´s cool.

As RGN said, Shawn played the piano at least as good as the guitar. You can download a piano sample of him in the second link.
His phrasing either on piano or on guitar was amazing.

I´m glad that you´re now interested checking out the music of Shawn Lane. :cool3:

If you want to know more about Shawn check this out

Want you back
Little Sample:
Medley

Looking out for Jonas Hellborg CDs it is easier to get Shawn´s playing than looking out for Shawn own CDs...hard to get, well for me in Germany.

Enjoy the music!

That video will give you a small taste of Shawn Lane. Some pretty scary stuff at the end. Shawn was a strange very interesting cat. He would see something on TV about a weird insect or butterfly and then go checkout about 20 books on about that butterly. He'd read all 20 books in a couple days, remember everything, and then go on to research something else. Before he died we has playing this weird string instrument with these tribes in some foreign country. The man was just an unbelievable genius. It is really a shame he left us so young.... Ask Paul Gilbert or Billy Sheehan what they think of Shawn's playing. Paul has said many times it was Shawn that sent him back to the drawing board after Mike Varney played him a little of Shawn's playing over the telephone. Billy Gibbons is rumored to have completely fell out of his chair when Shawn tore into some of his scariest licks on Beale Street. I think Ted Nugent had a similar experience. Shawn Lane was the man.
