I'm a huge Landau fan, I remember 15 years ago, when my guitar teacher at the time told me to go check him out. I was 16 at the time. I got my hands on a Mike Landau Live record, put it on and when the first lick in the intro of Worried life blues come out of my speakers it just spoke out to me so deeply that I've been hooked to Landau and his music for 20 years or so. Brilliant player!
*"It's almost like Jeff Beck." "Like you're falling down the stairs, but you land on your feet." - David Brewster. I love it when you come up with those descriptive sentences. I pictured that clearly in my mind, but I didn't land on my feet. LOL*
Never heard of him and know I'm a student. Thanks Dave. You're the music teacher I never had. You're literally the an Encyclopedia of Top Notch electric guitar art.
Hey brother. More Landau videos please! Could spend forever studying his style. Really appreciated your accessible and inspiring approach and delivery too.
I discovered your channel during the week and this weekend I've watched loads of the chord play video's and there awesome. Your a really good teacher 🇮🇪👍
Great lesson! I am especially a fan of Landau's work from the 80's and 90's (you know...back in the refrigerator rack days). That is the tone that I've been chasing. If at some point you could do a lesson on his work from that era, I am certain that your followers would dig it. BTW...signed up on your Patreon site. Awesome work!!!!
Yes! You did it, one of my top 3 , Landau, Henderson Krantz! Thank you! Esp the second lick is great. .....Wayne Krantz and his very odd technique would be awesome,too!!!
Very nice video. I was introduced to Michael Landau by listening to Vinnie Colaiuta's material (e.g. "I'm tweaked") and some jazz/fusion live performances. What I find most interesting about discovering and looking into the history of these highly prolific session players, is that I start to understand why I like certain songs. My music taste is basically centered around the 80's, and I like hit (and often cheesy) songs such as "Self Control" (Laura Branigan's version) and Michael Bolton's "How am I supposed to live without you". I always enjoyed the guitar in those songs, and guess who played them. Michael Landau. His list is endless. I just found out that he played, together with Steve Lukather and Mike Porcaro, in one of the most famous albums by Rita Lee (Brazilian pop/rock icon). I listen to that album and immediately notice the richness of harmony with interesting chords and textures that simply don't exist anymore in pop music. It seems to me that a pattern emerges, that great successful albums and songs have great musicians behind them, such as those guys. Sounds logical, and it is, but maybe it's been forgotten. Look at Michael Jackson's stuff for example. I think that's what we lack in today's music, having talented musicians elevating the songs to really tasteful and well-executed levels. Look what a guy such as Nile Rodgers can do to the music of Daft Punk. Look at what he did for Duran Duran, Madonna, David Bowie, etc. These musicians are so precious, and today's pop music industry waste that vast pool of talent by being so obsessed with the cover girls shaking their butts to a beat in front of the camera. We need musicianship to be restored and valued again in the mainstream. Not sure how, though.
I wanna say I saw ML in 1990 he was James Taylor's guitar player. Santa Barbara County Bowl when I was in college. Stellar player and of course the whole Lukather connection all those guys.
Dave great stuff-! Michael is an amazing player and it's incredible that you are providing these incredible lessons to everyone, We truly are blessed with your work Congrats on your channel and amazing output- ! A fan..\m/
Since you mentioned him, Michael Thompson would be an awesome lesson. There is a video of him on the Tim and Pete show where he plays a ton of cool things.
Would you add Carl Verheyen to that list? He's a monster guitarist as well and seems to have done a lot of session work. A lesson on his style would be awesome!
I think Michael Romeo from Symphony X would be an interesting 3 for all or even a chord play episode. His riffs are pretty unique and so is his approach to tapping.
The name drew me because it's the same as the dude I remember from Space 1999 :) But the licks and the lessons kept me watching and rewinding. Great job and thanks for introducing me to another great guitarist. Any interest in doing Peter Frampton? Phenomenal player with tasty phrasing. Cheers!
Nice lesson. Never heard of Landau but will check out more now. BTW - With Peter Green's passing how about a special 3 For All from him? Always felt Peter never really got his due living in Clapton's shadow.
Bro, slow down Mr Brewster! You're on 🔥 🔥🔥🔥. Jesus, I'm barely learning Alan Holdsworth, the pentatonic string skipping, all the 1980's shredders, SRV chords, and Carlos Santana, Rory Gallagher . Jesus Christ. Information overload.
I wish you would put timestamps indicating where the different licks are. I usually love the talking (as an historian, I adore some of the genealogical sort of stuff you bring to the table) but sometimes I'm learning a lick or two during my lunch hour and just want to cut to the meat without the talking. Anyway, just a thought. Love your lessons man.
Schoolboy friend of Lukather, go figure. None of my friends are that talented, let alone two of ‘em. Tim Pierce is probably the other L.A cat, you missed. Nice one, David.
For anyone Interested in the ML experience I suggest a good place to start would be to go to The Michael Landau Group Live album from '06 put on your headphones - cue "The Mighty SB" - crank it to 11 and let it take you into outer space......You're welcome!
Interesting......Great Fun........ Fantastically....Free.......and a Great Landau lesson............................

The best guitar content bar none, touching all the bases, I don't speak out much but on this I will.
Thanks for doing Landau. One of my favs.
I discovered your channel during the week and this weekend I've watched loads of the chord play video's and there awesome. Your a really good teacher 🇮🇪👍
You are in my head today... again....
Such an outstanding lesson and explanation! Thanks brother, Superb🙌🙏💪
This channel is very educational to me. Thank you!

.....Wayne Krantz and his very odd technique would be awesome,too!!!
Wow, same here. Landau, Henderson, Krantz. Oh, and Tom Bukovac.
I would have sworn these licks were played with a whammy bar if I didn’t see these. I love this wild bending stuff
Another interesting video and bending ideas. No idea about Michael until you presented this. Thank you!
Landau is one of my favorite players! Love his work with Joni Mitchell

I love this series, keep it up! Awesome work
Some tasty licks, Dave. Another great lesson!
I always look forward to your videos David. Licks and history lessons. Love it!
I Love your guitar lesson! Greetings from Italy
Excellent instruction and well explained ! liked and shared....
very cool, a greeting from Italy👍👍🎸🎸🎸
Since you mentioned him, Michael Thompson would be an awesome lesson. There is a video of him on the Tim and Pete show where he plays a ton of cool things.
Well played and you picked really great licks!
Great stuff! You always give really interesting guitar knowledge. Rock on Dave 🤘
Love Landau's playing/music one of my fave cats really cool lesson Dave and your playing it great there's so much to learn from Mikes playing:)
Dyn-O-Mite ... never heard of this guy but loved the samples of his playing ...
Thanks David! GREAT video!!!
Please do some Michael Thompson. I love these session guitarists.
Another great lesson 🍺’ski from a monster player.
I am not familiar with the name but that slip n slide lick is very cool 🤘🏻
Off to look this guy up, thank you!
Love your work dude, simply explained and played super clean, thanks for all you've uploaded much appreciated from Australia ; }
I was kinda expecting Michael landau’s chordplay, his licks are amazing but his approach to voicings are some of my favourites.
Yes a Landau chordplay would be wonderful please Dave
Would you add Carl Verheyen to that list? He's a monster guitarist as well and seems to have done a lot of session work. A lesson on his style would be awesome!
Monster musician and the sweetest coolest person.🤘
He played the guitar solo on some Disney movie soundtracks like "A whole new world" (Aladdin) and "Go to distance" (Hercules).
I think Michael Romeo from Symphony X would be an interesting 3 for all or even a chord play episode. His riffs are pretty unique and so is his approach to tapping.
You’re the best Dave!
MORE!!! Super tasty. Nice job!
Dudes parents taught him how to share....... Dudes Parents taught him to be a nice guy......... 2021....Good Time to be nice.....GREAT LESSON
Thank you!!
Landau has been my biggest influence in the last 35 some years...
Love Landau since 1980. You forgot to mention Tim Pierce. Please do a Pat Thrall licks.
The name drew me because it's the same as the dude I remember from Space 1999 :) But the licks and the lessons kept me watching and rewinding. Great job and thanks for introducing me to another great guitarist. Any interest in doing Peter Frampton? Phenomenal player with tasty phrasing. Cheers!
awesome as always !!! Do you have any original material? If so, where can I listen to it? I bet it is awesome!! Love your videos dude!!!
Hey in the Rex Carroll segment . It was Jeremy Richardson that introduced you to Nagasaki! Brandt
Dude...dude!
It was him - holy moly!
: )
I hope you are safe and take care my friend.
Sooner or later we'll get together and catch up!
\m/ ROCK ON \m/
Nice lesson. Never heard of Landau but will check out more now. BTW - With Peter Green's passing how about a special 3 For All from him? Always felt Peter never really got his due living in Clapton's shadow.
His work on Bill Meyers is amazing
That last lick has a Chris Poland sound with that bend at the end.
He worked with Joni Mitchell. That puts him in an exclusive group of great guitar players.
Thank you for the lesson! Can I ask for a Peter Green 3-for-all?
Good stuff!
nice relaxed enthusiastic feel to these vids....very good... is that a peavey vyper amp you are using. ? i am thinking of getting myself one..?
Great T shirt 👍🏼
Dude... If you dont write a song called "something like this".... I will..... Its my favorite thing you say
Hi David as it’s 40 years of Back in Black how’s about some Ac/dc licks and chords?
He was on Minoru Niihara’s debut album One
Bro, slow down Mr Brewster! You're on 🔥 🔥🔥🔥. Jesus, I'm barely learning Alan Holdsworth, the pentatonic string skipping, all the 1980's shredders, SRV chords, and Carlos Santana, Rory Gallagher . Jesus Christ. Information overload.

A little Flight of The Bumble Bee in that Dokken-esque lick.
*Shift-bending was cool*
4.20 you are smooth. Glassy
This video was DYNO-MITE!!!...you’re too cool Brewster!!!!
I know it’s cheesy but could you do a lesson on Warrants Cherry Pie album
It’s my favourite hair metal album
Wow
5.54. Wow
Man U pick great people
Carl Verheyen, Lee Ritenour, and Larry Carlton should be in that list of session cats.....maybe a list of eight guys.....
Schoolboy friend of Lukather, go figure. None of my friends are that talented, let alone two of ‘em. Tim Pierce is probably the other L.A cat, you missed. Nice one, David.
Carl Verheyen?
Finger player?
10:00
I agree Michael Landau displays a lot of Jeff Beck, but he delivers a lot of Jimi Hendrix influence.
and Tim Pierce ;-)
Nuno was obviously a fan
You forgot to mention Carl Verheyen
