Steve Lukather DECONSTRUCTED 

wonderful playing and great video! I'd love to grab my guitar now and jam over this stellar chord progression. Would it be crazy to ask for a little Christmas gift to the world if you shared this as a a backing track in a vid??? Cheers bro!

Es tan importante para mi y para muchos otros lo que acabas de explicar como nadie en este video que esto no tiene precio, es oro puro, eres un gran maestro y lo valoro mucho..... simplemente gracias!!!! Un abrazo desde arg🇦🇷

Priceless!!!✨✨ thank u

I'm so glad that so many others were so moved by the pickup demo as I was when I first saw it, I watch it pretty often when I'm in a rut.

Thank you so much for the video, it's taught me a lot and have given me so much to try. The first time I stumbled across Steve Lukather's short video clip, I wanted to understand how he managed to achieve this beautiful riff. Your video has opened this door for me.

Dude, this is so nice and well played. I´m so thankfull for that Video. Thank you Damn

Really good video. Your playing is excellent!!! Thanks for creating such content!!!

Aweson work buddy!!!

Great video Claude, thanks for sharing! On point!!!

Totally forgot this demo for DiMarzios from Steve. It was 11 years ago. Thanks for reminding me. Got to practise it again.

I've been looking for a note for note tutorial since this came out. Wonderfull piece.

Great analysis and gorgeous video!

Subscribed because of this video! Thanks!

Great video and awesome playing my friend!

Very interesting analysis !

Great video. Awsome music from Steve.. love it

About up picking : For me, it's all about the rhythmic precision and continuous movement inherent in alternate picking. You know, the '1 e & a' rhythm where 'e' and 'a' are upstrokes. The swing feel, syncopation, and the subtle nuances like 'lay back' are all hidden within alternate picking. Another reason I prefer it is for bending; I find the attack precision on a bent string is better when executed with an upstroke. Up picking became instinctively integrated into my vocabulary when I learned to read rhythmic figures. The continuous movement we make when strumming chords also applies to the rhythm of melodic lines. I'm not sure if that's why Luke does it this way, but practicing rhythmic figures, especially with a triplet feel, leads us to use up picking without even realizing it. Great video .

Great video and playing man, I don't understand music theory but I enjoyed it very much nad I know you spent quite some time to do this :D

Nice work. I just watched the di marzio video with him yesterday

Ahh, such an excellent video!!

Great Video ❤

Awesome

Claude: This was such a treat! I'd to have just one musician friend in my life these days who is as talented and thoughtful as yourself. At this point I believe I may have out-lived them all. I came across the Steve Lukather/Dimarzio pickup video a few moths ago and was truly moved by what Steve referred to as "just noodling around". I listen to it almost every day, study what he is doing and play along. I actually got is figured out recently but your observations and explanation added context to what I learned which is very valuable. Thank you, Claude! You made a new friend today :)

Thanks, very helpful and cool video !!! P.S. playing is excellent 👌

wow absolute great Tone and Playing Sound is Awesome TOP

love this lesson. im also gonna start sayin pent-at-onic and devil-op as much as i can

Great Job !

You made a Lukather video instant subscribe. Cheers man

Great job! Thanks. Wonderful sound, how do you do it?

To me an upstroke is another form of expression, compared to a downstroke. I can dig into a string with a downstroke for a more aggressive sound, but that sound totally different as when i try to do that with an upstroke, since with an upstroke you slap the fret at the rebound, giving it a sort of funky attack.

Wonderful. Absolutely terrific. BTW, no tab for this is the download email?n

Hi Claude good job lll What a pity but there is no guitar tabs with your vidéo. Thanks.

Is there Tab for this?

I can't believe you didn't mention his signature MusicMan guitar, Luke 3

How can I get this backing track??

Great video! Steve is my all time favourite guitarist and I too love his slower melodic runs to death. Those are just so beautiful and emotional! Would be great to see you deconstruct and analyze the outro improvisation in the live version of I'll be Over You on the 35th anniversary concert if possible: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-vvfXWdKNDxs.html

You're a good guy and a good guitar player but you cant deconstruct Steve Lukather in 10 mins, would take a decade lol
