本人が言っているようにディレイ無しの歪だけの音が聞きたかったですね。私の好きなギタリストは若い頃のルカサー。当時はとっても凄かった。HOLD THE LINE やGIRL GOODBYEのギターソロ。今聞いても涙もんです。 BAKED POTATO SUPER LIVEの頃が懐かしい！！因み小生、還暦前のおっさんです(^_^;)

A fantastic versatile musician. Guitar god, pianist, singer, songwriter, producer, arranger.... professional. Can play every genre... just look at his recording catalogue. Several other guitarist have gotten more recognition, but few if any can blend as well as Luke. Glad to see him getting the recognition he deserves.

He does get recognition from his peers. I think even Richie Blackmore once stated that Lukather is a great guitarist.

Yeah, totally agree with his approach. Amazing player. Been listening to his 4 last album. Hadn't done that in a while. They are so profound. Music that lasts. It's not just about guitar. The drums, bass, keyboards and vocals are so so good. And it's rarely boring.

@RolanTHUNDER Год назад

Thanks Mr. Luke! That's also the reason why I don't like to reach for the usual pentatonic notes when phrasing. Use them sometimes, not always since I don't want to be a blues player or boxed into that blues/rock vibe that everyone and their aunt plays. If it sounds good and the song calls for it though, then go for it.

Key takeaway: “If you hear music in your head, you’ll find a way to get it out!” So true! Technique may be good. Equipment is not really important. If you’re good and just work with what you have to the best of your ability, you’ll go somewhere eventually!

@user-nt4yh1dg5l 3 года назад

Luke is Michael Jordan, or if you are closer, Michelangelo of guitar art. The solos at "Creep Motel" is absolutely stunning! Absolutely divine! Outrageously musical. I think this solos sounds in hell when the devil wants to hear what successes have been achieved by those who sold their souls to him. :)

Most pop music has become the equivalent of fast food. Nothing but formulas instead of recipes, full of unhealthy ingredients. Addictive, but nothing but empty calories that does not feed you, and when I mean you, I mean soul.

anti theory you said? hahaha it's a theory of groove using a swing stroke to maintain the consistency or continous rythmic sounds in any order of the chromatic scales. even victor wooten already revealed that theory. generally,its from the ancient theory of music.

so eddie (VH) - how does it feel to be the best guitar player in the world? I dunno - you have to ask Steve Lukather.

@chrislestermusic 2 года назад

Ed never said that. This is such an overused thing. Steve Lukather is amazing and I have massive respect for him. I don’t like fake quotes though and this format has been used to death. Let me try. Jimmi Hendrix is asked “how does it feel to be the greatest guitarist in the world” and he answers “I don’t know, ask Machine Gun Kelly”. 😁

@ronmoes42 7 месяцев назад

I would like to drink a beer with Steve man, he is funny and i could learn a ton from him. My biggest lesson was that i always struggled with calluses, especially after showers i did not let my fingers dry, when bending alot on 0.10 sets you can start over again and the process of growing calluses is very tedious untill i started playing 0.09 to 0.42 set of strings, now i never have to worry again when i bend of take a shower the strings are much easier.

@RTmolo 3 года назад

I love Luke to the Moon. But I think he would be the first person to say that there is no such thing as a “best” guitar player. Everyone has their favorites, but music in general and guitar playing In particular are not Olympic competitions. Eric Johnson is almost not of this planet, but he is so different from Luke, or Larry Carlton, or Elmore James or Charlie Christian or Duane Allman that comparisons are meaningless. If anyone equates greatness with technical ability, they’re not listening.

@gontantan 3 года назад

ミクソリディアンとかドリアンだフリジアンだとか知識で覚えておくのは良いけど、アドリブで弾く時はそんな事意識してちゃ個性が無くなるからダメなのよね。究極はホールズワースみたいにスケールアウトも有りだし。腱鞘炎になるから練習し過ぎるなは同感です。しかし相変わらずちょちょいと物凄いフレーズを弾きますね😅

Steve is my favorite guitarist .....I'm a little disappointed in the video , it said picking style and I thought it was about picking your nose because most of the interviews he's done he's picking away , just a regular guy but really a superstar in my opinion.
