STEVE LUKATHER GUITAR LESSON - W/ JEAN FONTANILLE - Guitare Xtreme Magazine #54 

The older I get, the more I realize Luke is the absolutely greatest to me.

I love how Steve finishes nearly every sentence he starts saying by playing guitar.

everything on radio from late 70- 85 steve played on everyone's record. excellent studio musician.

I think George Harrison changed Luke's life. He never looked back. And we are so fortunate to have him.

Most of the most talented musicians are very kind persons. Steve is not an exception.

I love Lukather. such expression. He blows my mind. And... He just loves doing this. It shows.

Steve is unreal and is ridiculously talented. 'Master guitarist' doesn't begin to explain.

La tête de Jean devant le shred de Steve 🤣 j’adore. Merci pour l’interview 🙏

I love how when Steve was playing Jean (that's his name right) was just watching in complete awe. I imagine him just not even being able to really think and just going 'wow' in his mind. That's what I would do!

his guitar playing is more like magic than music. he's a phenom.

I knew steve when i was teen. But i just realize how great steve after several years. He absolute great

Having a limited guitar theory has definitely limited my progress. He is so right about getting to know chords and different key signatures.

La chance Jean d avoir pu rencontrer ce monstre … merci

Un des meilleurs guitariste de la planète 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

Super interview / demo du maitre. Bravo à l'intervieweur qui semble encore plus accros que nous ! Tres bien fait, sans jamais lui couper la parole ni rien, merci ça chance des interview de TF1.

ENFIN une interview de Mr Lukather en sous titre Français ! quel plaisir de nous donner une leçon de guitare d'une grande générosité un régal et surtout de gaieté, de bonheur et de joie . merci 😎🎸

Hearing the solo of Hold the Line randomly when I was younger I think predisposed me to the style of some of my favorite metal bands growing up.

Great interview! Steve is a true master - and still learning with obvious love. Just saw him and the rest of Toto in Dallas last month. Toto IVX, an amazing album, maybe their best yet.

Genuinely wonderful guy and, obviously, guitarist.

If this doesn't inspire you to play...nothing will. Steve, is the man!! 🎸🎸🤘🤘🎸🎸

had the pleasure of meeting that guy.. what a day :)

Such a great musician and totally amazing and humble and funny guy ! Thanks for sharing your guitar knowledge and very helpful advice to all of us.... You're the best !

The interviewer's face throughout this video is class ahahaha

One of the best guitarists to learn and get ideas from and very he's always very generous in offering his time. He's giving excellent advice here that is approachable if you slow down what he is doing and listen to what he is saying.

Merci pour ce partage Steve est un musicien phénoménal

I met Luke once in Romania. What a maaaan... The best person ever, so nice....

Steve is one of the greatest guitarists ever ! 😨😰🤦🏻‍♂️

Je viens juste de regarder cette vidéo, tu as une chance de dingue de voir ce super guitariste ! (en plus, j'adore toto)

Steve not acknowledging he’s a “grand guitaris” makes him a grand guitarist!

Sounds like it needs a fret dressed between 12th & 15th G&B strings as it sounds. Amazing guitarist. My favorite arguably of all time top 3 ever easily!

I could watch him play the guitar and talk about it all day long every day 🙂

Simple, well explained theory. Great technique is all in the hands of the player.

Great, great, great lesson. Insightful. Enlightening.

Best guitar player of the world that cant stop playing when someone is talking.

It's like watching a master builder or mechanic explaining his craft. Priceless

I love the interviewer’s reactions and expressions when he watches Steve play.

he has been giving lessons to me en argentina !

Steve you have been impressing me for years....p.s. I'm still stealing from you after all this time!!

lukather is a god and the guitar sounds nice ..he told the word in music also

Man.. even just playing around he's great... wish I had a tenth of the knowledge he had..

Steve Lukather ist eine unendliche Quelle der Inspiration. Unglaublich mit welcher Leichtfüßigkeit er die verschiedenen Stilistiken bedient. Und der arme Kerl der ihn Interviewt. Man sieht, wie er versucht all die Information aufzusaugen. Aber am Ende des Interviews willst du am liebsten deine Gitarre verbrennen, so klein kommt man sich gegen Größen wie Steve Lukather vor. Aber da hilft uns allen wohl nur üben, üben, üben.....und werden wohl trotzdem niemals das Niveau erreichen!

Steve nous montre là qu'il est en fait un guitariste de Jazz ! J'adore le visage " enfantin " de l'interviewer, on pourrait l'écouter jouer pendant des heures !

Estupendo maestro!! Genial!

ive been playing for 40 yrs this month... so hardly what u may call a ' beginners'... But im totally lost with some of this... Steve is such a cool guy and obviously a world class player.... now...if he could just run that by me again a little slower perhaps haha! Still...its great fun to watch. More please.

magnifique lukather ♥

Amazing!!!!

The great guitar players can multi-task while playing. One time I was at a Bar in a small town and they had a live band playing in the back room where they had a stage and dance floor. Some friends and I were playing darts in the front room where the bar was and during one of the guitar solos the guitar player came into our room. You could hear the band from both rooms. So the guitar player comes up to us and ask for some darts and proceeds to throw them while still playing his solo with one hand on the neck. Still focusing on the music the guy is throwing pretty good darts. I was impressed.

Nice interview Steve.

Steve is really a master !

luke have the touch ! a great musician ! just steve lukather ...

Great lessons! tanks!

Amazing...

I would say that learning the modes is important. You don’t have to know what they’re called or what is flat or raised etc but know how they sound and how to play them.

god that tone is out of this world!!

Maestro 🙌🎸

Glad to hear his guitar with fret buzz too.

There is no such thing as a guitarist that can sit still and not play when s/he has an axe in hand. Lukather thankfully is no exception.

Le meilleur de tous ! Steve ! ;)

good lesson;all goodchoice !thx !!

La tête de l'interviewer a 7:00 et pdt tout le plan qui suit... Unique.

I think it's called It Was Only Yesterday. Nice interview! Dig a lot of the concepts Luke was talking, time to practice!

I think I had the same expression watching Steve play as the interviewer

When I was but a lad , I saw Lukather's name listed as one of the best guitarists by MANY professional musicians and publications...but I always dismissed it because I was only familiar with some of his work with Toto and that was it. In the last few years , I've watched a LOT more of his work and now totally agree - Steve is a PHENOMENAL guitarists and is well deserving of the accolades he's earned over the years - TRULY a MASTER of the instrument and a real credit to the trade.

Wayne Johnson very kindly gave of his time and expertise giving a guitar clinic in a local music store in early 90s and he used a Lukather lick from the Rosanna solo as an example of something cool to play and we all sat there like, "Oh yeah, I was gonna play that lick too, but I don't know how!" I felt bad for Wayne and his buddy Jeff Richman because they were talking to us way over our heads the whole time. But they don't seem to know. It's like the Monty Python joke "How to play the flute: well you blow in one end and move your fingers up and down the little buttons..."

"You'll sound like a beginner playing a great guitar" ! What a character

very impressive

Luke is a master. Just watch his vocabulary here. This is no ordinary man!

Steves like the equivalent of the rip torn as the dodgeball coach in dodgeball...he just starts throwing wrenches at you...dodge!

Steve is really a master guitarist! The interviewer must be thinking something like this...." I don't get shit what he is saying... I asked this guy to show something for beginners not all this complicated shit that's gonna discourage and confuse the shit out of all the beginner guitarists....."

God created Steve Lukather to play the guitar.

And there are people dare to say that The Beatles weren't important for music history. Luke, greatest guitar player ever.

nice lesson for beginners

Merci pour le coucou 🥰

:33 hahaha they just had to fade to black to shut him up! heheheh oh man Luke said "Where?" haha

I agree with Steve...you will only sound like you, whether with your guitar and gear than with anybody else's guitar and gear. So, if you have Eddie's gear, you'll still play like YOU do. And that's a good thing.

Entretien très intéressant :)

LOL...Steve Lukather is AWESOME !! He's talking advanced stuff while they guy is looking lost. But hey it's called Guitar Extreme !!

Thanks Steve, I'm so guilty of being lost in the pentatonic boxes. I need to work on my inversions and free the fretboard.

Je l'ai vu au new morning avec larry carlton il est tellement cool ce gars

Merci pour cette vidéo, c'est vraiment bon à regarder. Lukather a l'air d'être un mec génial, des qu'il explique un plan ou sa façon de faire, tu lis sur son visage qu'il a vraiment plaisir a transmettre son savoir. Interviewer impressionné, on sent bien qu'il peine à trouver ses mots parfois.. Et c'est bien normal.. J'aurais pas fait le malin non plus devant Monsieur Lukather..

My Lukey Haha! 😂 Thanks buddy !

Your a mad scientist, i have no idea what you are doing, as a drummer, i would love to jam

"could you show us a beginner lick" then proceeds to demonstrate a load of fast tricky patterns. Thanks Steve!

big one

with musicman luke III hh you can play blues , rock , heavy (diezel amps) amazing....mambo

The interviewer watching Luke is like my dog watching TV....just no clue what is going on. LOL

THE MASTERS STEVE LUKATHER- DAN HUFF!!!!

Boss!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Too Tricky for beginners Mr.Lukather... One of my favorite guitarrists though. Mixing Jazz and Blues perfectly. Always...

An absolutely amazing player...Hendrix’s favorite. Terrible teacher.

UN GUITARRISTA IMPECABLE.

Lukather es tan bueno con la guitarra como de su genial voz. 😎🤘🎸🎤🎼

12:14 something REALLY useful for students.

Once you understand your basic major scale... the thing that unleashes that is Modes:)

Fucking amazing

what is the name of the larry song ?

Luke is so controlled nowadays, if asked to deliver a killer lick 10 years ago, he would have shredded like hell. But I like it though, he sounds better playing actual music, than just shredding

grand guitariste ce steve, et l'interviewer ne pige pas grand chose à mon avis, trop high level notre steve !!!

Wouhaaaaaaaaa!!!! *bave*

Forgive me for not knowing, but did Steve do the solo on Talk to you later, from the tubes? I can't hear half the stuff in these videoes anymore as my ears are really bad, so if it was mentioned, I didn't hear it.
