Yes, completely agree, Steve is also my favorite guitarist 👍 that's why I own his signature guitar 😁...many years ago when I saw Los Lobotomys "Never walk alone" I was sold. 🤗. Just checked, it was in 1994 😅

Steve is one of the best guitarists on the planet, and my favorite by far. He’s one of the few guitar players that I would barely know where to start to copy him - his guitar nuances can be so effective and yet so subtle.

Seeing Steve play live is an amazing experience. I saw him with Larry Carlton (Luke & Larry) in a small theater. He does pour himself out emotionally on the guitar. He is also quick with a joke and very playful on stage. Brilliant artist. Alex, this also what attracted me to your playing (besides the blistering chops). You put emotion and feel into every note. Great video.

So you dusted off your Valley Arts, eh! Absolutely agree. Steve doesn't play boring scales, he plays melodies. He adds to the song. With most guitar player's solos, I can't wait until it's over but Steve has a groove, like I said before, he adds "more" to the song. And, Alex, nice playing as always.

Where do you go after starting with the best. For anyone wanting to get to know Luke, check out his solo albums, or anything live. Luke is a guitarist from his soul. Toto Live in Paris 1990 is KILLER. The Kingdom of Desire album - Jeff Porcaro’s last with Toto. Brodys - a song of Luke’s, is genius. There are so many.

Thanks mate, yeah I know that's what many people think which is completely understandable given the big hits were the ballad types....

Hi Alex. Thanks for the video. I'm not surprised Lukather inspired you. A fantastic musician and guitarist who, as you say, has made solos of great musical depth. I agree with you; when a musician plays he has to show his soul and his heart and he has to tell a story. When I listen to you you talk to me and I understand what you want to tell me with your music. I wish you the best

Thanks for sharing always thought it was Dann Huff playing that track for some reason. I've had the privilege of seeing Steve live 4 times, one of those actually getting to meet him and chat for a few minutes, what a great guy. I was just hoping to get a picture with him and he just went out of his way to talk to me. It was at a Guitar Center music man event for some reason just a few people showed up and it just made it easy to have an actual conversation with Steve. Just as amazing of a human being as he is a guitar player.

I love Richard Marx, who also worked with the great Michael Landau, as you know. It took me a long time to realize how accomplished Steve Lukather was, because I was initially put off by Toto and didn't realize the plethora of work he had done with many other artists and on his own, but he is truly a phenom. Pity about KZbin's strict copyright policy, I'd have liked to hear you demonstrate more exactly the music in question.

I think Luke stole some of his trem stuff from Jeff Beck. Yeah, Steve Lukather man... he's on so many recordings and he just lays it out there an plays with so much feel and smoothness and rock/jazz flavors. One of my favs, too.

Cool coincidence that you mention Rush Street. The music at my retail job died today so I put my old iPod on for some tunes. And i picked Rush Street that played on loop for the whole shift. Haha. I loved the album growing up and now that i have started playing guitar, it sounds even better!

[@AlexHutchingsMusic]

Hahah awesome, such a great album, I'm glad it got you through the day.... Thanks for watching and all the best. 👍

Thanks so much Nico, and thank you for your kind suggestion. Not sure if I'll be able to figure out his licks... 😂🤣 Cheers for now

@@AlexHutchingsMusic this Hutchings guy is one sneaky guitar player throwing people off with strange tunings 😄 but equally wonderful :)

[@AlexHutchingsMusic]
