*"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*
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!
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 🇮🇪👍
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 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.
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.
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!
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.
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/
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.
Landau was also a ground breaking gear guy with legendary tone, racks and amp lineage. Used to be lots of posts and threads about and by him on hugeracks.com
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!
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.
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.
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............................
I would have sworn these licks were played with a whammy bar if I didn’t see these. I love this wild bending stuff
Thanks for doing Landau. One of my favs.
Hey brother. More Landau videos please! Could spend forever studying his style. Really appreciated your accessible and inspiring approach and delivery too.
The best guitar content bar none, touching all the bases, I don't speak out much but on this I will.

Landau is one of my favorite players! Love his work with Joni Mitchell
You are in my head today... again....
Landau has been my biggest influence in the last 35 some years...
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!!!
Wow, same here. Landau, Henderson, Krantz. Oh, and Tom Bukovac.

Another interesting video and bending ideas. No idea about Michael until you presented this. Thank you!
He played the guitar solo on some Disney movie soundtracks like "A whole new world" (Aladdin) and "Go to distance" (Hercules).
His work on Bill Meyers is amazing
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!
Another great lesson 🍺’ski from a monster player.
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.
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
He worked with Joni Mitchell. That puts him in an exclusive group of great guitar players.
Such an outstanding lesson and explanation! Thanks brother, Superb🙌🙏💪
Dyn-O-Mite ... never heard of this guy but loved the samples of his playing ...
I am not familiar with the name but that slip n slide lick is very cool 🤘🏻
Off to look this guy up, thank you!
Some tasty licks, Dave. Another great lesson!
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/

: )
I hope you are safe and take care my friend.
Sooner or later we'll get together and catch up!

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!
Please do some Michael Thompson. I love these session guitarists.
That last lick has a Chris Poland sound with that bend at the end.
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!!!
He was on Minoru Niihara’s debut album One
Love Landau since 1980. You forgot to mention Tim Pierce. Please do a Pat Thrall licks.
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.
Love your work dude, simply explained and played super clean, thanks for all you've uploaded much appreciated from Australia ; }
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.
4.20 you are smooth. Glassy
Good stuff!

A little Flight of The Bumble Bee in that Dokken-esque lick.
Great T shirt 👍🏼
This video was DYNO-MITE!!!...you’re too cool Brewster!!!!
Thank you for the lesson! Can I ask for a Peter Green 3-for-all?
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..?
Man U pick great people
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.
*Shift-bending was cool*
Wow
Carl Verheyen, Lee Ritenour, and Larry Carlton should be in that list of session cats.....maybe a list of eight guys.....
5.54. Wow
Nuno was obviously a fan
Hi David as it’s 40 years of Back in Black how’s about some Ac/dc licks and chords?
I agree Michael Landau displays a lot of Jeff Beck, but he delivers a lot of Jimi Hendrix influence.
and Tim Pierce ;-)
Carl Verheyen?
You forgot to mention Carl Verheyen
I know it’s cheesy but could you do a lesson on Warrants Cherry Pie album
It’s my favourite hair metal album
10:00
Finger player?
