32 years old here, shenker to me is the definition a lead guitarist, including his rhythm playing,he carried everything he did. iconic sound one of the greatest vibrato ive ever heard , technique out the ass and from what i understand, he didnt follow music theory, you can tell it was all heartfelt melodic attitude. Glad i get to experience all the work he has done, makes me sour how generic modern music is, you can never tell actual musicians playing anymore, unlike any record shencker plays on you know by one damn note its him
It is interesting that two of the most influental guitarists of modern times with a virtuoso flair are coming from here in Germany, Michael Schenker and Uli Jon Roth. Hallo David, congratulation for your didactically, theoretically and pradtically very well done presentation.
Amazing Video, Thank You for doing it, I don't know why Schenker is so underrated, there are practically zero videos on Schenker's music/technique, just subscribed to your channel 🤟🏻
Michael Schenker was my biggest influence. First heard him through UFO's Force It album. Which is still one of my favorite albums ever along with MSG debut.
The current generation are obsessed with speed picking, sweep arpeggios and stunt guitar. Schenker just plays memorable , melodic lead lines and is ten times the musician those guys are. I took my son to his first gig,aged ten and it was mr schenker. Half way through the gig, schenker spotted him, and stood right in front of him playing the rock bottom solo. He pulled every trick in the book to impress my son and I loved the guy for that. He couldn't believe there was a kid at his gig. My son is a devout rock fan now.... I'd go see schenker anytime any place anywhere....
Thanks so much for doing this clip. As a huge Schenker fan, I never expected to actually meet one of his roadies/tech men. But back in 2022, I saw a killer Epiphone Korina Flying V for sale on Marketplace. The seller turned out to be a left handed bass player who was selling his right handed V bass. It just happened to be that he is Schenker's tech and had some bonuses added to the bass. Signatures of Schenker, REV Jones, Hermann the German Rarebell, Wayne Findlay, and Doogie White, were on the bass. Not only is it a sweet sounding bass, but one of a kind in my eyes.
HAHA, I almost forgot to mention, I became the eventual owner of this Korina V Bass. The seller is an awesome bass player in his own right considering that his band has been around since the mid 70's. I can't wait to run this tutorial by my friend and see what he thinks of your ideas and he might give me some feedback on other tricks that Michael employs.
Also he has spider fingers, shook hands with him once, I have medium sized hands, his hands are huge....... doesn't always pay to use pinky, especially if you can use your ring finger, favorite player ever
Michael was a huge influence in my playing. I memorized all of the Strangers in the Night UFO album and his first two solo records. Learned so much from his style of playing. BTW, the chords that the last riff plays over are A-maj and F-maj. He's stressing the 3rd and root of each chord. Thanks for this video! Please do more MSG!
Dude, you always bring us the best musicians and music. Love all of it. Schenker is such a pivotal guitarist in the world of rock and metal. His contributions are heard in so many of today’s musicians. His expressive and legato playing is beautiful.
Mother Mary This kids on UFOS Strangers in the night are some of the little known killers and Obsession has some rippin solos on it still remember when the 1st MSG release came out every body who played guitar wanted a Gibson flying V and to sound like Michael definitely a huge influence and inspiration and a living legend 👍🤘
Not only is Michael Schenker a legendary metal guitarist, but lesser known are his fantastic 'Thank You' series of solo records ... these are all completely instrumental acoustic guitar albums and while more mellow are incredibly melodic and just as technically mind blowing as his electric wizardry. Thanks David.
Even though I saw UFO many times, i didn't see Schenker until a few years ago at Michael Schenker Fest. He played for almost 3 hours pretty impressive considering he's no spring chicken. Definitely a Legend in my book!
Fantastic work in describing MS technique. He is a one-off guitar wizard, no question! Thanks for de-mystifying some of it. You can't just buy a flying-V, wah pedal and a furry hat, then expect to sound like Micheal. lol. There's more to it, so much more...
I would be happy for a in-depth multi-video Schenker deep dive series #1 , #2, #3 etc... He is and has always been my favorite guitar player. Thank you for this Sir!
Thanks again Mr. Brewster. I appreciate another look at one of my all time favorite guitarist Herr Schenker. I first heard Rock Bottom in 1974 and thought it was Black Sabbath. Oddly even on an AM radio back in the day i was hooked on his playing. The legend lives on !!!
Well done! I needed this since Michael wasn’t recognized on the RS Top 250. It’s like I told my friends, any hard rock or metal guitar player from the 80s knows exactly how good he is. Great video!
To me, a guitarist not using a pinky is like a right handed drummer not using a left foot. Excellent Lesson, David! Michael rules! He can do whatever he wants!
Well, I’m kind of curious about him not using his pinky, because the song Coast to Coast involves using one’s pinky, unless there is another way that I’m unaware of.
To me there are three basic influence paths of metal lead playing EVH -> all of the 80s players Blackmore -> Uli Roth -> Malmsteen -> the neoclassical guys Schenker -> Rhoads -> pretty much all other metal lead guitarists Go listen to Dave Mustaine, Adrian Smith, or Michael Amott. There are Schenker-isms all over their lead work. Learning some of his stuff after having grown up on the aforementioned players was like discovering some ancient civilization from antediluvian times. When someone plays one of the bend pull off/hammer on lead licks in rock playing Chuck Berry should get royalties, MS should get royalties from 90% of metal lead guitar. I discovered MS work later in my musical journey and "Rock Bottom" is a song I will never forget hearing for the first time. When I found out later he was 18/19 when they recorded it... No one was playing modally like that in hard rock/heavy metal leads in 1973/1974 it was still mostly trapped by the blues. Blackmore had started to throw some classical inspired major/minor into the mix. The craziest thing to me is he rarely if ever uses his pinky when soloing, glad you brought that up. He's one of the greatest to ever do it. Every time I put my V on to play I try to have some fraction of the cool MS possesses. Several years back I built a fixed Wah pedal and to honor MS I put a graphic of a Flying V on it.
Happened to catch a UFO show at the Ballard Firehouse in Seattle Washington in 1995...original lineup that year. Best show I've seen! The venue was small as well.
EXCELLENT Lesson and playing! I was at a truck or outdoor RV show or some such at Pomona Raceway. I heard some music and excused myself from the people I was with to go see what it was. Back in a corner was a band, and maybe 60 people watching...turns out it was Contraband and there was Michael standing on stage...a low stage...right smack in front of me. They did the Mott song, then talked...I could see they were deciding what to do next. Michael said something and the other guitar player smiled and hit an F#m chord. I yelled "Lights Out" and Michael turned and smiled and pointed at me. He then proceeded to walk over...by then knowing I must play guitar, and leaned over right in my face and showed me every note he played. He then put his guitar in his case, and walked off as the band did another song. I couldn't resist...I followed him. The stage was low and so was the wall next to it. As he turned to walk to the back I yelled THANKS! He walked back to me, set down his guitar and asked if I enjoyed that, was having a good time and all. Then he thanked me for coming to see the show, shook my hand and walked away. Totally cool dude!!! I was learning his stuff in '76...many years earlier. One of those walked into the right place at the right time things.
U have a very close touches of Michael Schenker..🏆🏆🏆👍🏻😎👌🏻 I love it so much..👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻 If not mistaken, Jimi Hendrix is not Michael Schenker musical influences.. Michael Schenker himself had mentioned this in one of his interview.. Anyway Bro, only that I knew about his musical influences..if I am right.. Ur knowledge about Michael Schenker can't be denied..Thank you for sharing..
The best thing about your videos, Dave, is that they always make me want to pick up my guitar and play. Schenker is and has always been amazing and you capture some of his awsomeness here. One of the most melodic soloists in rock history. Thanks.
Great video. He's a great player love me some UFO. As a lesson it was great, I found I could play along pretty closely. Some of his bends with vibrato are just so much fun to play. Dime pulled a few Schenker licks in some of his solos. Legend. He and Uli are why the Scorpions are one of the greatest bands ever.
And those big ol' bends Michael makes are with his second finger. Michael is a Master at what he does. I was looking for Michael Schenker stuff and lo and behold here you are with a new lesson! Byou-tea-full!!
There is a "playfulness" in Michael's work that is missing in a lot of other guitarists' work that gets taken too seriously. He deserves more respect. He loves what he's doing.
Thanks for this- If it wasn't for hearing Michael Schenker 42 years ago, I wouldn't have decided to take playing guitar seriously (but I still suck!). BTW, if you ask me, that "Joe Walsh" lick is more of a Leslie West thing. Early MS is very heavily influenced by Leslie West (and Hank Marvin). Check out the live version of Built for Comfort from 1975 on "AXEFLYERFV"'s channel here on youtube.
One of my favorite songs of his is the beautiful ballad “Never ending nightmare” with McAuley Schenker Group. I don’t know why it’s not more well-known in the USA but in my country it is a considered a classic rock ballad and I believe for many European countries it’s the same. You should check it out for sure. One of the best ballads I’ve ever heard
You continue to open my mind (I'm old) and here is another lesson that taught me something new. Off on my deep dive into everything Michael Schenker. Thank You!
Thank you so much, sir! Your lessons are so good, so cohesive, so tasty, and the guitarist that you bring us behind the curtain with are truly the greats. Thank you again so much.
No one's better than Schenker. I think that "Joe Walsh lick" is also a Jimmy Page lick --- at least the ascending chromatic part of it. Schenker was a huge Jimmy Page fan.
Fantastic video on one of my favorite players! Mid to late seventies Ufo and Scorpions both had my attention, and I practically didn't listen to much else 🥰
Excellent choice David. One of my all time favourite guitarists. I'm very excited because somehow I've never seen him live, but will be putting that right next month.
At Twelve sticks: wish you could've seen Schenker in the 80s......he was on fire... also very good was when he reunited with UFO in 95' and toured a brand new album called Walk on Water. What an album!!! Guys, revisit that album. It's so good.. great production. Phil Mogg KNOWS UFO was marginal without Schenker. Mogg only toured after Schenker for the money. He had to I'll bet.
My ideal Setting with the Wah is to find its sweet spot n let your solos soar. M.S. is the man period. HAPPY METAL HALLOWEEN MONTH. ROCK ON! 🤘⚡️🤘🎸🎃👻😱☠️👹
While he isn't like a technical monster like Buckethead or Malmsteen etc..Schenker is one of the tastiest players ever in metal in my opinion. More good stuff David, Red Skies is a song I've only come upon in the last few years...shit its epic
I'm not sure if anyone here arrived at Schenker the way I did. I first learned about him by watching an anime back in the late 90's / early 00's called "The Legend of Black Heaven". In it is a guy who was an amazing guitar player and a fan of Michael Schenker and UFO. That show rocks!
Thanks for this Dave! You sir are correct, Schenker is an absolute legend and he has the tone of the gods!! I ended up with 2 strangers albums cause I wore out the grooves in the 1st one as teen in the late 70’s trying to learn his licks. Pound for pound Strangers is the best live album ever recorded! Best Damn Channel Out There🤘
Great Lesson! Greetings from Germany!
Hello from Japan chuse😃
Michael is among my very favorite rock guitarists.
Also, you are a great teacher, Dave
32 years old here, shenker to me is the definition a lead guitarist, including his rhythm playing,he carried everything he did. iconic sound one of the greatest vibrato ive ever heard , technique out the ass and from what i understand, he didnt follow music theory, you can tell it was all heartfelt melodic attitude. Glad i get to experience all the work he has done, makes me sour how generic modern music is, you can never tell actual musicians playing anymore, unlike any record shencker plays on you know by one damn note its him
It is interesting that two of the most influental guitarists of modern times with a virtuoso flair are coming from here in Germany, Michael Schenker and Uli Jon Roth.

Amazing Video, Thank You for doing it, I don't know why Schenker is so underrated, there are practically zero videos on Schenker's music/technique, just subscribed to your channel 🤟🏻
Not only is he a great player and teacher, David is also one of the best fans out there.😊
Michael Schenker was my biggest influence. First heard him through UFO's Force It album. Which is still one of my favorite albums ever along with MSG debut.
Schenker also has Tremendous Vibrato, slow and Juicy probably the best Vibrato in Rock.
The Arpeggio @18:00
If I could give u 10 thumbs up on that one, i would
My favorite living guitarist!
The current generation are obsessed with speed picking, sweep arpeggios and stunt guitar. Schenker just plays memorable , melodic lead lines and is ten times the musician those guys are. I took my son to his first gig,aged ten and it was mr schenker. Half way through the gig, schenker spotted him, and stood right in front of him playing the rock bottom solo. He pulled every trick in the book to impress my son and I loved the guy for that. He couldn't believe there was a kid at his gig. My son is a devout rock fan now.... I'd go see schenker anytime any place anywhere....
Thanks so much for doing this clip. As a huge Schenker fan, I never expected to actually meet one of his roadies/tech men. But back in 2022, I saw a killer Epiphone Korina Flying V for sale on Marketplace. The seller turned out to be a left handed bass player who was selling his right handed V bass. It just happened to be that he is Schenker's tech and had some bonuses added to the bass. Signatures of Schenker, REV Jones, Hermann the German Rarebell, Wayne Findlay, and Doogie White, were on the bass. Not only is it a sweet sounding bass, but one of a kind in my eyes.
HAHA, I almost forgot to mention, I became the eventual owner of this Korina V Bass. The seller is an awesome bass player in his own right considering that his band has been around since the mid 70's. I can't wait to run this tutorial by my friend and see what he thinks of your ideas and he might give me some feedback on other tricks that Michael employs.
Also he has spider fingers, shook hands with him once, I have medium sized hands, his hands are huge....... doesn't always pay to use pinky, especially if you can use your ring finger, favorite player ever
Blackmore and Schenker ruled in the 70's. Great great insight into his playing. Thank you.

Dude, you always bring us the best musicians and music. Love all of it. Schenker is such a pivotal guitarist in the world of rock and metal. His contributions are heard in so many of today’s musicians. His expressive and legato playing is beautiful.
There is only one Michael Schenker. Incredibly musical, melodic, with a to-die-for tone. In my top three favorite rock guitarists.
Mother Mary This kids on UFOS Strangers in the night are some of the little known killers and Obsession has some rippin solos on it still remember when the 1st MSG release came out every body who played guitar wanted a Gibson flying V and to sound like Michael definitely a huge influence and inspiration and a living legend 👍🤘
One of my all time favorites. Timeless hwavy melodic virtuoso
Michael Schenker is my go to rock guitarist. Absolute legend, great musician!
Not only is Michael Schenker a legendary metal guitarist, but lesser known are his fantastic 'Thank You' series of solo records ... these are all completely instrumental acoustic guitar albums and while more mellow are incredibly melodic and just as technically mind blowing as his electric wizardry. Thanks David.
Michael's discography is endless, there's always something for everybody's taste, all of his instrumental albums are indeed hidden gems!
My very first concert was MSG opening for Cheap Trick in the early 80s. My friends wanted to score drugs and I wanted to listen to the music.
Thanks Dave, Michael is one of my main influences. Nobody plays like him.
David! You should be rocking a flying V for Metal month! Great video!
Even though I saw UFO many times, i didn't see Schenker until a few years ago at Michael Schenker Fest. He played for almost 3 hours pretty impressive considering he's no spring chicken. Definitely a Legend in my book!
He's definitely the real deal
Fantastic work in describing MS technique. He is a one-off guitar wizard, no question! Thanks for de-mystifying some of it. You can't just buy a flying-V, wah pedal and a furry hat, then expect to sound like Micheal. lol. There's more to it, so much more...
I remember meeting Michael for the first time, what a humble person….
”Into The Arena” is ”the Michael Schenker song” for me. It just has it all!
Rhythm and Lead!!! Michael Schenker is just beautiful! Thanks, David!
I would be happy for a in-depth multi-video Schenker deep dive series #1 , #2, #3 etc... He is and has always been my favorite guitar player. Thank you for this Sir!
Saw Michael in the late 80’s. Best overall tone ever!
Thanks again Mr. Brewster. I appreciate another look at one of my all time favorite guitarist Herr Schenker. I first heard Rock Bottom in 1974 and thought it was Black Sabbath. Oddly even on an AM radio back in the day i was hooked on his playing. The legend lives on !!!
Well done! I needed this since Michael wasn’t recognized on the RS Top 250. It’s like I told my friends, any hard rock or metal guitar player from the 80s knows exactly how good he is. Great video!
Yes, sadly, he's much better known among guitar players, at least in my experience.
Yes, his omission is just disqualifying of the entire list
To me, a guitarist not using a pinky is like a right handed drummer not using a left foot. Excellent Lesson, David! Michael rules! He can do whatever he wants!
Well, I’m kind of curious about him not using his pinky, because the song Coast to Coast involves using one’s pinky, unless there is another way that I’m unaware of.
@@brianrash9885
He occasionally uses his pinky. But his is not a player that uses his pinky exclusively.
I’m a huge Michael Schenker fan….and a huge David Brewster fan. You ROCK my friend 🤟🤟🤟
Definitely!
Michael is awesome, set the stage for many guitar players to follow...

this is a great comment, you're so right with this observation.
He should easily be ranked in the top 25 hard rock guitarist.
His playing in the 70-80's was true guitar art.
Happened to catch a UFO show at the Ballard Firehouse in Seattle Washington in 1995...original lineup that year. Best show I've seen! The venue was small as well.

U have a very close touches of
Michael Schenker..🏆🏆🏆👍🏻😎👌🏻
I love it so much..👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
If not mistaken, Jimi Hendrix is not
Michael Schenker musical influences..
Michael Schenker himself had mentioned
this in one of his interview..
Anyway Bro, only that I knew about his
musical influences..if I am right..
Ur knowledge about Michael Schenker
can't be denied..Thank you for sharing..
ahh my favorite - Schenker - saw him in the 70s with UFO - definitely one of the biggest guitar highlights of my lifetime
This is a GREAT lesson! I've ignored my 1999 Gibson 67' Reissue long enough! Thank you.
Micheal Schenker is a beast! Thanks for the lesson Dave. 😊
The best thing about your videos, Dave, is that they always make me want to pick up my guitar and play. Schenker is and has always been amazing and you capture some of his awsomeness here. One of the most melodic soloists in rock history. Thanks.

Yea, two very different guitarists, but both with that fire and melodicism.
Absolutely a legend.
And those big ol' bends Michael makes are with his second finger. Michael is a Master at what he does. I was looking for Michael Schenker stuff and lo and behold here you are with a new lesson! Byou-tea-full!!
Great video Dave! Schenker is such a tasty player who rarely if ever overplays, unlike many modern shredders. He's inspired me a lot over the years.
Sensei Dave!!! Oh man your cosmic groove is impeccable! This is exactly what I needed!
Captain Nemo is one of my favorite guitar instrumentals ever. Great phrasing and melodic ideas.
There is a "playfulness" in Michael's work that is missing in a lot of other guitarists' work that gets taken too seriously. He deserves more respect. He loves what he's doing.
Thanks for this- If it wasn't for hearing Michael Schenker 42 years ago, I wouldn't have decided to take playing guitar seriously (but I still suck!).

Check out the live version of Built for Comfort from 1975 on "AXEFLYERFV"'s channel here on youtube.
Definitely a Leslie West lick. Matter of fact if you slow the lick down it is reminiscent to me of some of the Theme For An Imaginary Western solo.
That's really a B.B.King lick!! 😂
I totally agree Leslie West such an unsung influence on "heavy"metal
The intro to "Save Yourself" would have been a good one to cover.
Thank you. If you play Michael Schenker's "Lights Out", you see he develops leads from anywhere. Very hot.
Dave don't let anyone tear you a new one when it comes to guitar history!!! You da man when it comes to six-string gunslingin'
Agreed! David's historical background presentations for these players is a very important part of these Late Night Lessons!
thank you - m.s. is one of my heroes since the early 80ies.
love schenker !
I used to cover lost horizons with my power trio back in the day. Awesome tune with great parts
Excellent video! Thank you for sharing this with us!
As far as that Joe Walsh lick - I think that Michael does something similar in the second solo on the live version of "Too Hot to Handle."
Michael Schenker is simple put ... A beast !!! Thank you for this !!!
Great tutorial. Those legato hammer ons are all over the lights out live solo .which is such a classic.
And great content as usual Sir
🤘🤘✌️🖖
Guy tore a flying V up!..the OG of them all.. way ahead of his contemporaries...
One of my favorite songs of his is the beautiful ballad “Never ending nightmare” with McAuley Schenker Group. I don’t know why it’s not more well-known in the USA but in my country it is a considered a classic rock ballad and I believe for many European countries it’s the same.

I love that song
Love your amazing lessons but also enjoyed your room, so chill and feel like I am in a rock bar just talking abot music😃
You continue to open my mind (I'm old) and here is another lesson that taught me something new. Off on my deep dive into everything Michael Schenker. Thank You!
Hearing his playing on Lonesome crow totally reminds me of Toni Iommi. Riffs, tone, etc.
Oh yeah. Michael Schenker is so good. Really cool video man. Thanks for sharing ✌🏼
Dude you are almost to the 100,000 mark congrats it's not gonna be much longer.....🤘🤘✌️🖖
Less than 1800 to go.😊
Thank you so much, sir! Your lessons are so good, so cohesive, so tasty, and the guitarist that you bring us behind the curtain with are truly the greats. Thank you again so much.
No one's better than Schenker. I think that "Joe Walsh lick" is also a Jimmy Page lick --- at least the ascending chromatic part of it. Schenker was a huge Jimmy Page fan.
Yep MS fan here! Thanks!
I haven't listened yet, but please do more Schenker.
You can never cover enough Schenker on here. Cheers!
Fantastic video on one of my favorite players! Mid to late seventies Ufo and Scorpions both had my attention, and I practically didn't listen to much else 🥰

What an album!!! Guys, revisit that album. It's so good.. great production. Phil Mogg KNOWS UFO was marginal without Schenker. Mogg only toured after Schenker for the money. He had to I'll bet.
@@blndrckr Yeah - I've seen UFO many times over the years. Scorpions too. Just somehow never when he was in either band!
Best record from MS : Obsession and Strangers in the night with the legendary UFO
I have that same Dawn of the Dead tin poster thing on my wall!!
Next Schenker Episode please do 1rst Album ~ McAuley Schenker
My ideal Setting with the Wah is to find its sweet spot n let your solos soar. M.S. is the man period. HAPPY METAL HALLOWEEN MONTH. ROCK ON! 🤘⚡️🤘🎸🎃👻😱☠️👹
Closing in on 100k mate, and a killer episode to boot :)
While he isn't like a technical monster like Buckethead or Malmsteen etc..Schenker is one of the tastiest players ever in metal in my opinion. More good stuff David,
Red Skies is a song I've only come upon in the last few years...shit its epic
Listen to Lights Out Live....oh yeah
I agree old enough to remember tho
Excellent lesson as always, I'm still waiting for one about Marc Bonilla, you should review the EE Ticket and American Matador albums
I'm not sure if anyone here arrived at Schenker the way I did. I first learned about him by watching an anime back in the late 90's / early 00's called "The Legend of Black Heaven". In it is a guy who was an amazing guitar player and a fan of Michael Schenker and UFO. That show rocks!
@18:06 through the end... is Brilliant
I gotta say that’s impressive David. I’ve worked on that first set of licks of Michael’s for years, but I can’t play them that fast. Very Impressive!
Thanks for this Dave! You sir are correct, Schenker is an absolute legend and he has the tone of the gods!! I ended up with 2 strangers albums cause I wore out the grooves in the 1st one as teen in the late 70’s trying to learn his licks. Pound for pound Strangers is the best live album ever recorded!
Best Damn Channel Out There🤘
Very expressive player
Almost at 100k! Was here when u had like a couple thousand I knew you were going to blow up
nice! lost horizons.
This is a wicked representation of Michaels playing. Nicely done. I am a new sub for sure.
Thank you for this 🤘🏻👍🏻
I like it..great video
Thank you for another great lesson. QUESTION: What bridge pickup is your Les Paul?
🤟🏻👍🤟🏻
“Lost Horizons”!
14:52 why do I want to do this? Maybe because it sounds absolutely amazing!!! 🔥🔥🔥⚡️⚡️🔥🔥🔥
