In it we examine his note choice, techniques and approach to the guitar. This lesson is being released as one whole lesson as we felt that it fitted together better this way. It begins with Dan's improvisation over the YouTube backing track, which we found to use as the basis for this lesson (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r1xhSg-_oa8). The lesson then starts proper with a background discussion of Lukather's playing and session work. Next Dan breaks down some of the techniques and ideas which he employed in his imrovisation. Finally, it ends with a jam in which we both take it in turns to improvise over the backing track.
