The thing i like most about shawn is his unique ability of playing super fast but with feel and emotion, i read comments on all his videos posted on youtube and nearly everyone postes saying he is the pinicle of guitar and he must be the best. I also love his work on the piano and the keboard, the way he plays the piano is amazing i watched a video of him yesterday in murphes bar in 1994 playing guitar and keyboard and he blew my mind with his ability to play both instruments with such passion. i am obsessed and i would love to know how my hero inflienced you.

It has some early BOA stuff, the insane white strat shredroom fest, mixed cover songs and then the Famous Musicians Instutitute gig. All on one VHS !!! Paid like $10 or $15 dollars (US) for it. Best value I've I've ever purchased. I have always cherished it. Needless to say, my musician friends usually don't even know what to think or say when i show them some highlights. Usually speechless. Whomever it was, THANKS AGAIN !. This site RULES by the way. RIP Shawn | ||

I never looked at a guitar the same way again the day I realized how great of a talent Shawn was. At first it was just me drooling over technique... but his music has changed me. Anyone who is fortunate enough to be a fan knows what I mean. | ||

His playing was so tasteful, and even though he could play so incredibly fast, he was reserved and pulled it out only when it was the right time to do it. His very positive attitude, despite his ailments is very inspirational too. I get choked up listening to his music at times | ||

He showed he what's possible with guitar with songs like Aga of the Ladies, and opened up a whole world of possibilities. forum.rustycooley.com abovetopsecret.com | ||

Joined: Mon Jul 05 2010, 06:19PM Posts: 1 | Shawn has influenced me in many ways...most significantly through his phrasing; I now attempt to convey a similar blend of melancholy and resonating joy, whilst retaining my own musical identity. Of course, I can't do it quite like Shawn did, but his music opened my mind to that heavily melodic style of playing, and for that I am eternally grateful. [ Edited Mon Jul 05 2010, 06:33PM ] | ||
