Unit 1
Rogue Spammer
We kick off our Steve Lukather player study with an awesome Toto style solo! Ollie will take you through this solo based in the key of F major, including some cool ideas where we target specific chords with our soloing.
Unit 2
Steve's Trick Bag
Ollie will now take you through hybrid picking, alternate picking, economy picking, 'dips' with the whammy bar, harmonising using diatonic 3rds and dorian ideas!
Unit 3
Party In Ollie's Trousers
Let's take a step away from the lead playing and tackle a typical Steve Lukather style rhythm part. Like a lot of more progressive music of the day, this track modulates between a complex 19/8 time signature to a more standard 4/4.
Unit 4
The Ultimate Lukather Solo (Part 1)
Ollie has put together all of his favourite Lukather licks and ideas to create a massive solo that will dramatically improve your skill across the entire neck.

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.

As the course progresses, you'll explore a wide array of scales, techniques, and licks that define Lukather's playing style. These elements culminate in a challenging solo that will push your guitar skills to new heights. But it's not just about lead guitar; we also tackle rhythm tracks with complex 19/8 time signatures, reflecting Steve's progressive songwriting approach.
