Shawn Lane: Not Again

Every time I hear Shawn Lane I am completely floored. No exception here:

Nothing else to say, really …

New video: Chicago – Hard to Say I’m Sorry

As promised (or threatened ;) ), here’s the latest video. This cover of Chicago’s cool old ballad, “Hard to Say I’m Sorry”, is an online collaboration between Owen Vickers, his lady, and me.

I tried to hair-metal it up slightly – hence the bandana ;) the clean rhythm guitar with heaps of open high E and B strings over all the chords, and the dirty rhythm under the second prechorus and chorus. My solo – at 19 seconds/4 bars short – is the teensiest I’ve played in a long time. It was actually rather fun. I couldn’t just noodle away as I might usually, so I ended up putting in some open-voiced triad things a la Eric Johnson, and some string-skipping silliness a la Paul Gilbert/Shawn Lane (probably more senor Pablo).

It was fun getting together a full song – and great having Cara sing – so you don’t have to put up with my vox :P Also check out Owen’s mega-cool solo 8)

Shawn Lane tribute #5: other covers

Wow there are a lot of Shawn Lane covers out there that I hadn’t seen before. At this point I’m just collecting and posting them – then I can work through the ones I haven’t yet heard myself, in some sort of reasonable fashion ;-)

Enjoy – and RIP Shawn; his music will always be with us.
