8 contributions to The Shawn Lane Guitar Method
For Our Premium Members I just dropped New Unreleased Recordings
Some of yall have seen the video of Shawn at 17 with Black Oak but it cuts off. This is pure bad ass of Shawn a long solo and then Billy Batte playing Keys who was Shawns big inspiration into classical piano! You will find this in the live section! Also I added Shawn Lane plays UK Reprise! I also added the original Hardcase which has lyrics! None of this stuff has ever been released, ever!!! If your not a premium member this alone is worth $29 plus that money goes a long way for us to keep releasing new stuff and I also added a track from the original powers of ten live without sax. Prepare to have your heads blown!

Get You Back was recorded with Johnny Singer’s vocals around the same time as Hardcase. Totally different arrangement.
Shawn noodling
Shawn Lane had a great run with The Willys. Sometimes in between songs he would play a little something like Cruise Missile by Steve Morse, Somebody Get me a Doctor solo or Beelzebub by Bill Bruford. But one night he totally surprised me playing a short section of The Magnum Opus by Kansas. If he heard it he could play it.
Shawn Lane sees UK.
Conversed with Kinley Wolfe yesterday. It was he who took Shawn to the UK concert. I was there with several of my fraternity brothers. Shawn & Kinley were right behind us. Seeing Holdsworth opened the floodgates of Shawn’s creativity. What a show.

@Jimmy Hudson He’s still in Dallas. He comes to Memphis on occasion. He was a shredding bassist before shredding was a thing. He and Shawn were quite a pair in Savage and Black Oak.

@Jimmy Hudson I don’t have my Savage tapes. I’ve got a friend in Ohio that is making me a CD. I lost a bunch of my tapes and videos when my apartment in Memphis was burglarized while I was playing a gig in Paducah.
I want to welcome Kevin Williams and Kang!!!
Kevin was also a student of Shawns for a long time and very close friends. He and Dave Flexer hung out with Shawn a lot and Kevin has also been a guitar teacher for over 20 years in Birmingham Alabama. He is an incredible guitar player and will probably be helping us as a teacher as we build this incredible community! Kevin also has many great Shawn stories and worked at Strings N Things with David Flexer for many many years. And I dont know Kang, but welcome aboard and if you have any questions feel free to ask!

Welcome Kevin. I too worked at Strings & Things in the early 80’s. I met David Flexer through Shawn Lane and we remain friends to this day. Enjoy the group. Interesting stuff.

@Jimmy Hudson I knew Flex & Sean O’ but I don’t know Billy or Kevin that well. There were so many people in Shawn’s orbit I don’t remember everyone. I had a small stroke in 2008 that wreaked havoc on my memory so I apologize if I don’t remember.
Happy Birthday Sid!
Today is Sids Birthday yall! @Sid Woolfolk Ok so Joes New Pizzaria has decided not to open on Sundays anymore so we had to get a new venue for our Monthly Atlanta Guitar Masterclasses. He did find a place and we are picking it up in June. I will be way more active in here after this week yall. I have had two close friends pass away in the last couple weeks in Memphis, one of them was the bassist for Saliva and a friend of Shawns Matt Dees and he passed away yesterday. From Sid and Yes we are about to get him ready to go live as well! Im going to try and hop on tonight or tomorrow night. I'm excited to announce we have a new location for our TYGP Workshop. The next one is scheduled for Sunday, June 7th at Rehearse Live LLC located right off of "Spaghetti Junction". The workshop will be followed by an open jam, and everyone is welcome to play. More details coming soon! Dont forget yall, we have founders pricing back and these courses and premium membership content is absolutely worth it if your on the fence about signing up. Well its less than a dollar a day and there is unreleased Shawn Material in there as well so $29 per month or $300 per year and that will be locked in as long as you stay a member! Also earn money with us or at the very least get your membership paid for by using our affiliate program. Anyone you refer with your code you get 40% of whatever they are signed up for every single month! Skool does this automatically with their program or if you know anyone that might want to start a skool community there are affiliate links for that as well. I pay $100 per month for this community, well we pay as a collective so imagine if you knew people to start their own communities such as maybe @Chris Alexander wanted to start a learn to work on cars community, well if you referred him and he paid the $100 per month every month you would get $40 of that! Help us grow this thing yall, the more members we get the more resources we have where we can dedicate much more time to this and start some of these other projects!

I met Shawn when he was 11 or 12. He was playing with his band Tyfoyd at Audubon Park in Memphis, TN. We remained close friends till the end.
