ice7string, i'm not sure what you mean by lukather playing on Beat It. The guitar solo on the album version of beat it is Eddie Van Halen. There's a whole story behind how it happened....Quincy Jones called him and Van Halen was relatively fresh at that time, having just graduated from the school that I went to recently. So Eddie offered to record it for free, simply to get the chance to work with Quincy Jones on a MJ album, and the solo you hear on the record was the first, and only, take..

@funkymonkey6string ...Steve played bass on "Beat It" and, unless I'm very wrong, some other guitar tracks too. The solo was clearly EVH.

You're right. Every musician need to learn how to read music and learn theory. There's really no reason not to.

[RacManRhythm]

So would Mr Lukather call McCartney, Phil Collins, and a whole lot of other top musicians LAZY because they don't read music, I think not, I found many crap players who can read every note like reading a book and many of the the best players/musicians can't read a note, many think if you can't read notation you aren't you can't be a good player, that's bullshit.

[ZZUBZERO]

Eddie Van Halen dont read no stinkin notes!

Great Album but this Videos shows me that it would be VERY cool to hear the Album in a instrumental way !

[vubear]

For the average session you will be asked to improvise, play to a chart or both. Time is money & the guy that asks for playback after playback to get what the song is is the guy that aint gonna get asked to do another session. That's the reason why every gigging musician should read. BUT there is a big difference between that kind of reading & sight reading which is about being able to read complex stuff with only a few minutes to check it out first. We should all learn the first kind.

@funkymonkey6string Steve played everything but the drums and the solo on beat it

[TheBastions]

2 sides to the argument really, while lukather is unquestionably brilliant, to class all who don't have the ability to read music as 'lazy fuckers' is a touch extreme, some of the greatest musicians to ever have lived and bigger names than lukather too, couldn't read music so great and they did just fine

[OrionNumya]

@funkymonkey6string Yep as far as i know Steve played the rythm guitar of beat it.

[Hydrefyricon]

Great stuff Lukather...

[minigovaray]

0:50-1:01 Amen to that!!

@funkymonkey6string luke played on the entire album... bass and guitar... EVH came in for the solo only... All the guys from Toto had a long standing studio relationship with Quincy Jones... He played with McCartney as well during that time frame... When you needed it done quickly and professionally during that era, Lukather was the man for studio work...
