"Rosanna" dissected.

Dang, I don't seem to have the bandwidth to even load the page, GianfrancBro', but it matters not.

I'm just grateful you shared this here; rock 'n roll doesn't get any classier than the first few TOTO albums, IMHO.

Wow. Loaded right away. You're a genius, Gianfranco, and thank you mate!

Pity they had to talk over so much of it. It's like the fluff some have complained about there, only a whole lot worse 'cause it's not between the tracks (the good stuff), but over it. The nerve!

very interesting, and as often the individual parts sound good but nothing tremendous (well except the solo but they are so perfectly executed & under control. I really dig the keys and the reverb treatments & harmony on vocals.

but togeither ,it's so well balanced wow !

It's a perfect lesson in why the pro guys are the pro guys. Most players will listen to that guitar part and go "meh", but I guarantee that anything you think might be better would have occurred to Lukather as well. He played what he did, not because it was the coolest part, or the flashiest part, or his favourite part, but because it was the RIGHT part.

Listen to those clean triad voicings and the subtle trem vibrato, not to mention that groove he's got going picking out those octaves! He's listened for the spaces in the tracks and doesn't play over anyone else's parts, it's brilliantly done.

The studio must have been running a sale on reverb that week.

Pretty amazing song. Awesome pro musicians
