His solo was edited for the MTV video and single release. Just channeling something special straight from the heart. Then when I was 6 or 7 I saw the Thriller album on display at a department store when we were out shopping and BEGGED my mom to buy it for me. It blows my mind how some people can create perfection without even thinking. Human Nature The Girl Is Mine Rock With You Off The Wall Billie Jean I remember being 3 years old and listening to my moms 'Off The Wall' album ALL THE TIME. Shelton was part of the Los Angeles "Wrecking Crew", the faceless collective of players behind thousands of well-known recordings made in the 60's and 70's.Ĭheck out this clip where the legendary session guitarist breaks down his iconic improvised one-take solo. My favourite guitar solo from a Lionel Richie song however was by Louie Shelton: the laid-back, jazzy, flamenco-style goodness on "Hello". Short and sweet, but ridiculously good and every note counts. Not shredding like on "Running With the Night".
Porcaro didnt have a spare cassette, so he recorded Davids material on the B. Steve Porcaro stayed at Paichs place at the time, and David asked him to prepare a tape for Jones one day. Toto's "Rosanna" is another cracking guitar solo from Lukather. Quincy Jones heard the demo of 'Human Nature' by accident upon receiving a cassette with some demo tracks from David Paich, who worked on the 'Thriller' album. He said he could've died and gone to heaven when Paul came up to him afterwards and complimented him on his rhythm guitar part. And there he was, jamming with his hero on an MJ track. That was the reason he got his first guitar and became a guitar prodigy by the time he was in high school. Lukather's interest in music was initially sparked by watching The Beatles on the Ed Sullivan Show when he just was 7 years old. I think the mistake is that often people use musician and instrumentalist interchangeably. Looking around the room, pinching himself, trying to keep it together and act like he belonged. But MJ was the complete package just by himself, just by his natural talent, without any acquired skills. Next minute, he's there at the session for "The Girl Is Mine" - produced by Quincy & George Martin with MJ, Paul & Linda McCartney, and various seasoned pros. I saw a cool interview with him where he talked about being recruited by Quincy Jones to play on 'Thriller' and getting the call from Michael Jackson and hanging up on him 3 times. They chopped out about 30 seconds from the album version.Īpart from Toto, Steve Lukather is best known for playing guitar on three of Michael Jackson's singles from Thriller: The Girl Is Mine, Human Nature and Beat It (the rhythm guitar not the famous EVH solo!)
