Profile for tone on 80s hit "Surrender To Me"?

  • You know, the song in the movie Tequila Sunrise, with Robin Zander and Ann Wilson, from about 1988?

    The guitar sound is huge, and sounds a lot like Steve Lukather or Dan Huff... There absolutely no credits given, either in the movie or the internets... AND IT'S DRIVING ME NUTS!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    Does anyone know? My wife and I are trying to figure this one out.... usually I know, but this one has me stumped.
    I’ve been wearing out Google trying to find out who played this, and would love to capture a similar (what sounds like a Boogie) tone.

  • Look like the song was written by Richard Marx, and Lee Ritenour was credited as a performer on that album...but that doesn't sound like him at all.


    The backing band for that particular track sounds a lot like the guys who worked with Marx on his first two albums - maybe Michael Landau or Bruce Gaitsch.....hope this helps.
