Toto guitarist Steve Lukather has opened up about his early influences and says that Beatles legend George Harrison was chief amongst them.

During a recent interview with Music Radar, Lukather opened up about his love for Harrison and said the late Mop Top inspired him to play.

"Don't be afraid to make mistakes, because any great player will tell you that any night they'll make mistakes," he urged.

"Whenever you do a live recording, it's always the s—tiest night, and you have to wince through it for the rest of your life and then you go, 'F—! Why did I s— the bed, man?

We were recording!' And you gotta go, 'Nobody's perfect' — and we all feel that way. Ask any musician."
