Shawn Lane (March 21, 1963 – September 26, 2003) was an American musician. Although piano was his first instrument, he quickly became a noted player in underground guitar circles and joined Black Oak Arkansas when he was just fourteen years old.
He is best known for his solo album Powers of Ten and his long stint with former John McLaughlin bassist Jonas Hellborg. Lane is also well known for his shredding skills. Guitar World magazine writes, "Few, if any, guitarists can play faster than Lane could, and his arpeggio sweeps and precision-picked lines blasted more rapid-fire notes than the average human mind could comprehend."
