“He’s one of the funkiest mother….players in the world “ 😆 Love Luke!
Luke is one of the greatest guitarists on earth!!
No, He is THE best
@@gusseisern1151
That's exactly right!!
Master!!!
Luke is one of the best guitarists in the world and is so down to earth. I had the pleasure of meeting him once. He was so cool and so laid back and humble. One of the highlights of my life.
Ditto. Same experience. My feelings exactly.
Agreed, I met him once for a moment, he was very nice and even let me take a picture with him, an amazing guitar player and a very nice person.
Never met him but I was always impressed that as great as he is he always said "thanks" with a smile to his guitar techs as they would had him his guitar as he went on stage. Good guy.
This video is a gem, he seldomly talks about his playing or demonstrates things because he feels uncomfortable about it, but it's great.
人として素晴らしすぎるルークカッコ良い😎
I like how he says just figure out your own sound/style. Doesn't matter as long as you are making music.
デビューから今まで世界の頂点に立ち続けてるわけだ。凄すぎるわ。
Steve Lukather is so cool he has to wear sunglasses inside his house.
これは非常に貴重で素晴らしいインタビューですね！
ルークに感謝、ヤングギターに感謝です。
どの回答もためになるし、ギターが弾きたくなります！
If I could read what you wrote... I would probably agree.... Well said. hmmm?
Besides his talent and infectious personality, I love Luke’s enthusiasm, always the same as day one!
Steve: "I can't compete in the chops." Plays crazy chops.
100% agreed.
むちゃくちゃかっこいい。。
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.
Man!! There is ONLY one LUKE who sounds like LUKE.... AMAZING melodies and sounds...ALWAYS supercool
Still one of my top five rock guitarists! Thanks for the video.
これは神動画だ！
Thank you! Steve！
LOVE Steve so much! Such an amazing player and so cool and humble!!!
Thank you for this video! I ADORE Luke. His newest disc is stellar. I had the honor to interview him back in 1999, when Toto came to Reno. He was kind, funny and had an inviting spirit about him that is still with him to this day. Great guy and an important influence on my own guitar playing,
The BEST vibrato and feel ever!!!
Great lesson and tips... Thanks.
ルーク先生！素晴らしい動画です！
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(^_^;)
自分の周りは、ルークじゃなくてルカサーって呼んでました。若手ナンバーワンのセッションギタリストが大ベテランか。当たり前やけど、ボズのアルバムとか、マイケルランドー(いま聞くと全然タイプ違うけど)とか追いかけてたのが懐かしい。ヤングギターは僕の青春です。斉藤節雄さんありがとう。
Steve is da man! Thank you for this video Young Guitar!
Steve, thanks so much for your humble attitude and of course your
Massive body of work! You're are
The Best ! Always loved The Outro on Running With The Night & Hold You Back Now... Love your technic!
Long Live Luk !
Such a brilliant,soulful and versatile guitar player with a humble attitude-very cool human in every way!
lukeはいつも素晴らしい。
Luke, one of my favourite guitarplayers. And a kind person too!
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.
I like all of his advices!
Luke is one of the greatest!!! When I heard toto 1st time hold the line, we all said whos that guitar player. Oh yeah he's in his own league 4 sure. Love listening to him just jam around smooth as butter. Stay healthy my friend..
Thank you for sharing!
相変わらず見事なピッキング！！真似は出来ないなぁ・・
The most important issue with guitar playing is staying relaxed in both right and left hands when trying to play fast. Steve doesn’t force anything past his mechanical ability ,like some others do. He is working with whatever tools he has and doing a fantastic job. My alltime favorite
I’ve always thought like this. It surprised me to hear so many of my own views coming from this level of player. It’s validating.
so true... on the road your chops reach a level you never thought you could get to. You never think it will go away, but it just takes 6-8 months of relax and it's gone again ..
Omg! Steve is always amazing!! 🙌🙌🙌
What a guy. Absolutely love Luke's playing
great points he gives
Truly a top guitar legend!
Brilliant Musician!
This guy IS the best.
I love Luke! He is who he is…and so modest for being one of the greatest EVER.
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.
Unreal. Luke just so far exceedingly greater than anyone. He is music, plays any genre master class. One of the most important musicians of our time.
You are such a talent
なんてプログラムですか❓
ルークとエディーは僕にとっての永遠のギターヒーローです。
これからも楽しみにしています❣️
Such a great..what a tremendous musician and kind and down-to-earth man. Class freakin act!
Always been a big fan of Luke's playing...he's got a unique way of playing the Guitar
Awesome player.
Steve inspires me in this video. When I practice I just try to play what feels good and sounds good to me. If I don't like the way it sounds, who else will?
I get an endorphine rush everytime i hear Luke playing even a 1 sec lick. He’s amazing.
The KING . Luke
After 40 odd years in the guitar wilderness i've finally picked up my guitar and started playing again because of Steve. Thank you for being so inspirational. You are a legend, Sir👍
Steve Lukather is awesome!!
Your practice amp sounds good. Lol dude just kill it with a new solo record. I want it!!
When I was young in a band, I stopped listening to popular music and rock. You have to find your own style.
WE LOVE STEVE !!!!
全ての答えが素晴らしいです。
人間国宝級のギターリストはインタビューしても回答が全て為になります。若いギターリスト…ルークの言ってる事に全て有る‼️全て吸収して素晴らしいギターリストになってくれ‼️😊
You need to check out his Audio book. Amazing history.
I ordered the printed version a few days ago…haven’t been that excited about waiting for a book in the mail since the Montgomery Ward Christmas catalog when I was a kid 🤩
The Gospel: also check out the audiobook, Steve breathes fresh life into the writing, he’s a funny bugger. Shame about all the pain. Love you, Steve!
His Lukeness!!! 🔥🔥
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!
Luke 🎸🔥
すげぇ
全ての返答に納得
それにしても、独特のフレーズばかり
そういえばジョン・ペトルーシのフレーズってルカサーの影響が相当出てるよね
Tear it up Steve my man. I love you.🖤💜🖤💜🖤💜🖤
Who is this dude?hes pretty good 🤪 I absolutely love his work and Toto.
hahaha he said i can't compete with my chops! hahahaha this guy is a comedian
He is the best
Next to Eddie Van Halen Lukather is a top notch guitarist. Toto as a band created fantastic music. GOD what happened to Music these days?
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.
やはり頂点に立ち続ける人は凄いな！
5:43 damned it's sound so great
彼に聞くのはヤボじゃないかな。聞いても真似出来ないから。昔からテクニックや奏法とか聞かれてるけど、特に意識してないと思う。彼の演奏は感性とインスピレーションだと思う。
After one minute of video 100% people downloading the Beyond Slonimsky Melodic Patterns for Guitar PDF.
Gran master
What practice amp is that??? Sounds amazing! I want to sound like that! Or is just his fingers?😅
Steve: "I can't compete in the chops arena...9:41"
Me: LOL!!!! WHAT???!!! His chops are on par with Yngwie!!!
I used to love Yngwie early to mid 80s, but he just got boring to me. Steve keeps things fresh and always melodic, bluesy, and tasteful. overall a great player that can play ANYTHING.
Turn the echo and reverb of! See if its still clean
if that is rusty playing , please give me more rust! incredible
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. :)
2:00, 5:37, 7:43 holy crap!
do you have any reverb or delay on your sound... I can't hear a thing
いいひとすぎるーく
which practise amp does he use..the Yamaha THR ?
" there is no right and wrong way to play as long as you can make music" i love that, great advise .S.L. Im almost anti theory I play what i hear in my head
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.
@@rjordist4925 Roger that Capt Smarty Pants
39 seconds in, enough said and heard...
What a dude
全然腕が落ちてないのが嬉しいなぁ
本当によくしゃべるなw
My all-time FAV guitarist. Luke…there’s only ONE!
The Gospel according to Luke 🙏
He said he was working on a sequel to that book now.
Luke practices for hours a day.
Don’t you??
@@johnvcougar Muscle memory.
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.
What’s with the horror edits in this clip? Dude!
"He is one of the funkiest -motherfuckers out there- people I know"
Be yourself ..
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.
数年前に御茶ノ水のディスクユニオンのイベントで近くで見れて最高だった
指先が真っ黒なのは車いじりでもしてるのかな？
I have seen some of the world’s best players including Eric Johnson. When I saw Toto, I realized that I have finally seen the best guitar player in the world...Steve Lukather.
Yep he is really astonishing live
Go watch EJ in 1988 on ACL. The best!
so eddie (VH) - how does it feel to be the best guitar player in the world?
I dunno - you have to ask Steve Lukather.
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”. 😁
I agree with a lot of people here that Steve Lukather is an amazing guitarist but... with the dirtiest finger nails of all time! And here I thought Jeff Beck was the king of dirty nails.
