To see and hear a sampling of Steve Lukather’s guitar mastery, check out the following clips.


Full-length concert of Toto live in Amsterdam. Luke gets a nice solo feature from 35:59–37:55.


Sharing the stage with guitar gods Steve Vai and Joe Satriani on the G3 tour, Luke belts out a soulful rendition of Hendrix’s “Little Wing,” and takes a rippin’ solo starting at 1:53.


Playing with fellow studio legend Larry Carlton, Luke tears it up on Jeff Beck’s legendary ballad “Cause We've Ended as Lovers.”

Great skills, nice melodic flow with the right touch and feel. No superspeedy overdone things, like some other players, wich are also great of course but just not as great and musicly tuned as you are.
