26. Steve Lukather!

Sun Apr 26, 2026, 06:23 PM

Sunday

This was the song I was going to post. Now I don't have to.
Bill Spooner does a great job of miming it in the video but Lukather played nearly all the guitar parts on that song.
Since you didn't post the video, I'll add it so others can hear what you're talking about.
The first solo starts at 3:29; the outri solo begins at 4:04.
