In Studio with Steve Lukather

[@awixtube]

Wished I could be there too .... Steve Lukather is just the best among all the guitarists and he is a complete musician. He is the reason why I play guitar... Thanks for all the great music Luke....GBU Luke. (Awie, Jakarta)

[@robsim4692]

You've never owned a guitar much less played one! You'll never be superman regardless how many times you say it or lies you tell

[@joeurbanowski321]

@@robsim4692WTF…??

[@wolflover789]

The best. Any genre, any speed, any thing... He delivers gold in one or two takes. He's beyond just chops.

[@marcokielholz2474]

Amen

[@cooper5882]

I've got this CD and met Steve at a small show in the Cleveland Area . One of my favorite CD 's I play it often driving down the road . Steve was as nice a person you get. Stood for pictures and chatted with everyone. Thanks Steve !!

[@duncanbrode381]

Good reminder to go listen to his solo stuff again! Thanks for all the great music Steve and crew!

[@johnnyguit8168]

LUKE is my fav. all around guitarist w/ a killer voice + great guy!!

[@keep_walking_on_grass]

all good guitar players love Steve Lukather's playing. he is incredible

[@grgwashnton23]

thank you for filming and than you luke for letting us fans have a glimpse at your brilliance!

[@garyschraa7947]

whether it's a documentary or a museum or movie or star on the walk of fame steve lukather deserves to be nationally and internationally recognized as t h e guitarist of the century . Gilmore is great , and beck is great , and it does go on and on ____but someone has to be at the top . and that is steve

[@KingdomofLuke1]

This is straight from the Toto website: "Hollywood: Toto received their star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame several years ago. They were joined by Steve Porcaro for the ceremony, and two foot-prints were added to the block for Jeff Porcaro."

[@semilivesixstringstrumist5595]

No man. There is no top. Its not a sport like society is and you are.Its music. Get your head out of the score board learned mentality you have been brain washed to believe. Its not who is better, Its like making or creating sounds of the mind and spirit at that time. And styles of playing a mood. No winners and losers. That is bad energy! Have you ever won and looked at the loser and felt bad for them just for a sec.? Well, You should feel bad. Even special Olympics know this. And they are retarded. You are not! Learn something.

[@liberiofrank]

gary schraa completely agree, my friend: Luke is the planet’s finest living musician.

[@DavonBertoli]

gary scharaa I think you're right, just to name a few, Joe Satriani, Steve Vai, David Gilmour, Jeff Beck, Jimmy Page, Ritchie Blackmore, Richie Sambora, Mark Knopfler, Robert Johnson, Clash, and many others, but I happen to appreciate the intense work that goes into his music. The second in my book has to be Ritchie Sambora. I just love his style and his licks and phrasing.

[@groovekingmuzz2699]

Eddie Van Halen would agree with you Gary...When asked what is was like to be the worlds greatest Guitarist,he replied,"I don't know,go ask Steve Lukather"...

[@kirkjohnson9353]

Really terrific that he let you film this hanging out and playing around. So cool.

[@MrBigrumor]

Cool to see Trev hanging out with his dad in the studio! Thanks for posting!

[@fedefranz]

i often come back to this video, and always amazes how good sounds all he plays, even "simple" things!

[@BestOff61]

I love it and hang around to watch such rare videos. This is music history. Thanks for posting this masterpiece.

[@00Mickx]

God thx for this footage! Awesome! Steve is one of my favorite artists of all time . . I've always loved his style : )

[@roblawhorne1015]

Love the finished product. Fav Lukather album. Fun watching the work days.

[@John-p9j8o]

I saw Toto at a small beachside nightclub in NH in the early 90's, it was one of the best shows I've ever seen. Being in a 300 seat venue and seeing a Headliner is pure magic.

[@jstample]

Was that with Jeff on drums or after his passing?

[@bwall615]

That amp between the Gibson and the Magnatone had incredible overdrive.

[@robsim4692]

Dude it's an amp not a Buick

[@fiddlefolk]

Nothing but love for Steve! Thank you for so many years of bad ass music!

[@tdragon68]

[@EricVera539]

nice!!! i cant believe i met him a couple of months ago! (:

[@TomPires]

16:50 my favorite solo guitar setting

[@JazzBear]

That studio reminds of one I did a lot of tracking in back in Missouri. Same monitors. Same layout. And similar board. Both great sounding studios.

[@robsim4692]

Man just stop it! The only studio you've ever been in is glamour shots and the tracking ran up your arms

[@alext9151]

Priceless footage! Thank you so much!

That little Gibson amp sounded KILLER !

[@lilbob369]

He can sound just like Boz Scaggs. I got to hear him do it at a show in Biloxi . They were having fun and it was a great show we had a great time

[@edjohnson105]

So cool to see. Thanks for this.

[@repentUsinner]

Musicians love to chill and riff...I think we could live in a studio..

[@euskaldoude]

tu es le meilleur Steve

[@MDOurMD]

Not only is Steve Lukather a great musician, he does great interviews too.

by the way i would go with the first amp! Vibe aliceous!

[@martincaz7772]

Love it! More?

[@stevesuttle9539]

images and words from dream theater ...on the acoustic part he was playing towards the end...not as a diss but has been played before..Steve is awesome!!!

É um prazer ver um pouco de como ele trabalha.

[@birddoggarton]

How Friggin Luckyy ou are bro......DAMN !!

[@tobybaker7968]

Really enjoyed that

[@IncessantWake]

watching these guys jam and create music really reminds me a lot of me and my band.

[@itguru2037]

What I don’t understand is how these guys from the same area were born so talented. They won the lottery but it came with a price. Early death and addiction

[@sn95_mustang_garage]

I'm late to the Lukather party even though I was a ToTo fan in the early 80's. I guess because it wasn't harder rock I skipped over it. Now I've learned to play Rosanna on guitar, fun song to play.

[@KingdomofLuke1]

Do you have Toto's album Kingdom of Desire JamCave Studio? It's my favourite Toto album, and the last one the mighty Jeff Porcaro played on. It's got a harder edge to it. Check out the youtube for this current tour as well, killer live. They have started releasing their US tour dates for the summer too, if that's where you're from.

[@sn95_mustang_garage]

KingdomofLuke1 I don’t but now I’ll look into it.

[@markrodrigue688]

Blows me away... Love to be there too. Great drummer. Where did he come from? Steve sure can pick em.' Love the guy!!!

[@lilianalezana123]

Te Amo Steve Lukather,

[@georghagglund9338]

Toto will be out with a record within the month. It's going to be called "Toto XIV" and there already is a video out for the song "Orphan". Also another track called "Holy War". Sounds good to me!

[@billschrey3735]

Steve, thanks for all the great music through the years. Keep putting out the solo records. They are MUCH appreciated. Does anybody know what any of those anonymous amps were ? The AC 30 and Marshall (what model? ) were easily identified. Steve ? Anybody ? Thanks for posting this video!!!

[@AlessioSfasci]

Hey mate, in this record Luke used a lot of vintage amps.. A 1959 Gibson GA-6, a 1950 Magnatone 213, and a 1966 Supro 1620T. The Vox was a 1964 Vox AC30 Top boost model, and the Marshalls are a JCM2000 DSL 100 and a little JMP.. it's a 2061X

[@WildBillQRO]

That 59 Gibson amp was frickin Awesome

[@inaldosilva8781]

na minha opiniao um dos melhores guitarristas e vocalistas do planeta. vida longa ao luke

That’s some good drumming. Props to whoever that is

What a cutie is Trev. And also almost identical to his father

[@WarrenSt.James_Guitarist]

at 14:35..what type of amp was that..I like the vibrato..sounded like a vibrolux but fuller...????

Ah. A fellow convert of the Delay Llarma. Excellent.

[@cipanKACAK]

man that ac30 crunch tone is fuckin legit man

If Steve adjusts his tone, and looks at you to see what you think, always nod your head, "yes"..

Thank you! :)

[@ivanvernillo]

Interesting! Good job!

[@kashubelua]

10:10 For the Guitar part....

[@FreedomZealot]

At around 19:30 Steve busts out some SRV-style stuff. I had no idea that he had that in his arsenal, but it just figures that he would.

[@coffeewaldo]

He's a session guy. He can play anything.

[@johnnyguit8168]

+FreedomZealot Yur kidden right? LUKE is a former Top LA Session Guitarist that rec'd on over 1,500 LP's + Playing professionally for another..what..39 yrs now, so yeah, he can play 5* Jazz, Fusion, Great Blues (Hendrix!!), Kick ass rock and hard rock (White Sister-Toto!) and real hot pyrotechnique guitar w/ all the tricks! Luke played w/ SRV and Jeff Beck in Japan! Tours w/ the Great Larry Carlton..Talk bout yur hot players! Luke is a God in Europe as well! JSP

[@SocialDist92]

this is a jewel! amazing luke

[@ewouthonig371]

One of the weirdest produced albums ever. Very large dynamic range, very present but narrow mixed drums, guitars at times as wide as a jumbojet and LOUD in the mix.... But hey... I like it.

[@evankeal]

I thought the same, it sounds like my mixed, and the drums are detracting the overall quality, both in tone and the aforementioned contrast to the music in spatial terms. Maybe they were not yet processed fully, compression would easily fix most issues I am wanting to resolve on them listening here.

[@coffeewaldo]

All walnut neck. Beautiful.

[@newportmike8519]

Was Tom Fletcher involved with this session or was that way earlier? Didn't Tom and Luke start the whole Steakhouse thing together or was it mostly Luke? I went there and hung (Tom and me are cousins) and just missed Luke by minutes but got to sit at Bissonette's kit. There was a picture of Sammy Davis on the wall and we use to all crack up doing Sammy stuff.

[@ricksuch]

I was there for three days and didn’t see Tom. I don’t believe he was involved with this project. As for the drummer, Abe Laboriel, Jr. tracked for this album.

[@newportmike8519]

@@ricksuch Just finished watching this and saw the Sammy Poster. How funny. Must have been a fast and fun three days for you. Cheers

[@abnormaltoy]

Could one of you tell me what that amp is at 10:50 ?

[@joellis8634]

Looks like a Gibson ga-6.

[@jeffdowler9130]

I thought Magnatone was the best, but didn't hit the spot with ether one but that Gibson amp nail it.

[@jfabritz]

I thought the Gibson was pretty sweet tone-wise.

[@brianruyack7632]

Maggie's vibrato sound was sweet!

Damn! That organ player!!!

Jeff Babko. He's amazing!

[@jariwalden8910]

What's the post below me talking about? Anyone know. Anyway, nice studio footage. What color blue is that ernie ball Luyke guitar? Anyone know.

[@zipchtkdn7804]

Wonder what amp he was using in that studio....he wasnt with Bogner yet right,..maybe boogie idk

[@jaycareaga9929]

A bunch of different amps. His main touring amp at the time was the Custom Audio 3+ preamp.
