Getting The Tone
Chris takes you through all the guitars, amps and pedals we used to get an accurate Steve Lukather tone. Yes, tone is generally in the fingers, but there is only so much you can do without some of these key bits of gear!
Welcome to the Steve Lukather Player Study, a comprehensive exploration of the iconic guitarist's style. Steve Lukather, renowned for his contributions to Toto and his prolific session work, epitomizes the term "virtuoso." We kick things off with a captivating pop solo that showcases Steve's ability to infuse intricate and theoretical guitar lines seamlessly into popular music—a remarkable feat.
