TOTO - Rosanna (Guitar Cover)

video thumbnail
If you've followed my channel for a while, you'll know that I'm a big fan of the Joseph Williams era, and also love Isolation, and want to mainly focus on learning those albums. But I cannot start delving into such 'deep cuts' without touching something from the masterpiece that is TOTO IV. My favourite from the album is I think Make Believe, but Waiting for Your Love is a killer groove and I like It's a Feeling and Good For You also. Rosanna has been requested and is naturally the one to start with and may just be THE best song to represent the band and Luke's work.

Years and years ago I watched the Steve Lukather star licks video and spent a long long time learning this solo. However, Luke plays it slightly different there to what's on the record (the isolated guitar tracks are available these days on YouTube). This isn't too surprising as Luke seems to be more of a 'in the moment' player and may play it different every time, but I had to relearn some pretty ingrained muscle memory, but it was fun to do. The end solo is also incredibly tricky and I think I know exactly what Luke plays, however, trying to play it up to speed at the end of a full take is something I think only a prime Lukather can do haha.

I use a Jackson DK2 Dinky from 2004 (I removed the tone pot and moved the volume over) into a Boss Me50 (where I get my tone) into a Palmer Pdi-09 (which simulated a mic'd up cab) into a Focusrite Scarlett into my computer running Logic Pro X (where I add a little EQ and Reverb).

F.A.Q
My headphones are purposely like that so they stay out of the way. The cable is very long.
