Fender Studio Sessions | Michael Landau Group Performs ‘Renegade Destruction’ | Fender

Guitarist Michael Landau, bassist Reggie Hamilton and drummer Gary Novak form a powerhouse trio when they get together to jam. So when they came by the famed Studio A at Capitol Records for their Fender Studio Session, it was a treat to see the artists unleash their bluesy rock. In this performance, the Michael Landau Group plays “Renegade Destruction,” which comes off Landau's 2010 album, “Renegade Creation.”

Michael Landau is without a doubt one of the most original guitarists of all time, instantly recognizable. Definitely in the Hendrix school but there's so much else going on as well. One of our favorite collaborators.

[@atxgtr10]

This is what you get when you have the chops and musicality to be a fist call session ace on platinum selling pop records but have the power and soul of a proper old-school rock guitar player. Landau is just legendary...

[@Radio-Loud]

I really appreciate Gary Novak as one of few drummers who are able to comfortably and confidently navigate between jazz and rock. He’s a monster.

[@gitarrenvideounterricht]

The master of the stratocaster, always a joy to watch him play!

[@williamhogan2744]

Reggie Hamilton's bass sounds awesome. The B-string is tight!

[@miles-178]

Mr. Landau, Mr. Novak and Mr. Hamilton !!! my most fave musicians - More of this music all around us !!

[@TiagoFrancomusic]

Mr Landau's fingers + feeling + strat = class

[@lorenzmuller3542]

Anybody knows some songs or albums where he uses his signature chorus sound? You know, the arion sound...

[@andrewphillips156]

Just idly listening and suddenly a vision of Hendrix... Sublime

[@chiphotoguy]

Gary Novak DRUMS this guy adds so much to the mix..Top 10

[@paulst.laurent3417]

Reminds me of Cream and Hendrix. Mikes an inspiration

[@WillieLi]

Michael Landau Is a Legend..

[@rdanalytics9197]

Nothing cooler looking than a beat up Fiesta Red Strat...

[@BigHairyGuitars]

The best of the best. Hard to look away from Mike, but Reggie and Gary are destroying in this!

[@vincentlevalois]

That drum sound... fire.

[@seanoconnor3846]

This is going way out there to say this...But I am going to do it anyway. Michael is Hendrix like in that he's one with the instrument when he plays. This is close to Hendrix as I've seen anyone play. There is a rawness and energy here that you DO NOT find with just any guitar player.

[@DrDougRoss]

Superb Tone from a Superb Guitarist. Fabulous 3 man band act. Keep coming here to listen this. Thank You Fender.

[@tomasvalparaiso2015]

51 minutes more of this please .❤️

[@p1nzor]

AWESOME! Finally Michael & the band get some properly recorded videos :D Thanks Fender for putting Michael in the spotlight for a while he absolutely deserves it! They are killing it as usual, great playing from everyone.

[@TobyRenwick]

Most musically interesting 3 piece band I've heard, these guys are great!

[@ericwilhelm2941]

Michael Landau , My Favorite Guitar Player He has it all . Steve Gadd has him in His band , Vinnie had him at the Modern Drummer Festival in 2000 , then Toured with Karizma , first Call Player for James Taylor , Joni Mitchell had Mike in her band with Vinnie on the drums again, The Great live recordings at Baked Potato with Greg Mathieson, Abe on Bass , Vinnie, Then i just found out when Marcus Miller did his Radio Show , and he played a tune off of Joe Sample Album Spellbound , Mike did the Most Tastiest R&B Soulful Guitar work on one of the songs . There must be Hundreds of sessions he played on in L.A. And to put it in perspective i am very fond of Jeff Beck , Hendrix, Larry Carlton , Lukather, Steve Vai. But Man , the emotions Mike brings across with his Playing is resonating on Many levels with me .

[@lorenzmuller3542]

Anybody knows some songs or albums where he uses his signature chorus sound? You know, the arion sound...

[@BeStOfBaRi]

Fender will always be the best!

[@rdb9936]

That neck pickup tone is obscene. So good

[@hajikiya]

[@swangonzalez4797]

One of ONJ's guitarists on the Physical Tour. That's what I remember most about him.

[@ursafan40]

That's a whole different way of looking at what a guitar part should be. Interesting stuff.

[@bobstraatman7840]

[@TheHuester44]

[@babydaddy1930]

Lol I just bought his 1972 Park 75, a 50 watt Marshall...pretty hyped!!!!!!!!

[@jobrothberg4679]

Really great, More Amps please! I think you could just make the whole backdrop Amps, Maybe the drummer, could be playing inside a giant Amp. Why hold back? These guys are incredible!!!

[@JesusOtinChannel]

We want more of this!

[@velosoje]

Incrível! Que pegada! Valeu!

Can't believe I almost skipped these videos because Fender usually has such lame acts. These guys are super man, my mind is blown :)

[@blackie75]

Yeah, Landau is a straight up fkn beast.

[@serginhoguitarra]

Great sound!

[@antbugash-beard3526]

[@shfnderrock]

Killer stuff!!

[@tamirkeren6750]

WOW took me bt surprise.

[@jazzerrocker]

I'm thinking about going to see this band perform at the Baked Potato on Saturday. I definitely want to go now after seeing this video.

[@lorenzmuller3542]

I wish to visit the Baked Potato some day. I hope that I'll make it to Studio City when Colaiuta, Landau and all their buddies are playing again. :)

Great 👍🏼‼️‼️

[@wils5452]

Can hear robin trower in this guy..cool

[@mazen2928]

great performance...if he added the fuzz with univibe then he would sound like hendrix...somehow same licks....great band.

[@MrJackrockerman]

what a superbbbbbb

[@charlesycoker]

awesome

[@orti1313]

that tone is fucking mind blowing !!!!!

[@precbsfender]

That's the vintage pre CBS 60s Stratocaster sound that blues tone freaks absolutely cherish and seek world wide! AKA the Strat tone of the masters!

[@samm1809]

His action is also super high.

[@precbsfender]

High action is common on those old school Fender 7.25 radius fingerboards it prevents fretting out issues..

[@precbsfender]

Then it has the more modern custom shop 9.5 radius fingerboard not old rounded vintage 7.25.. Why such high action then?

[@widowmakerheartattack5212]

Pablo is so dead on...Strat tone 9n fire..MONSTROUS.

[@klauswhitedreamer]

great !...

[@jessek.beauchamp1356]

Your guitar face is worthy Mr. Landau.

[@Zeal808]

Listen to the lyrics. 🥶 what a song 🔥

[@scottpickel6370]

thumb tone is nice - love single coil tones sometimes

[@songbes]

Mantap skali....sukses selalu Fender....Sy pengguna Fender Original....thx

[@Jakal-pw8yq]

Incredibly inventive guitarist! Wow...just stumbled across looking at Fender amp demos. He reminds me of a guy I was super fortunate to know and call my friend, Steve Bishop out of Nashville, via DC, LA, Seattle....you can google him, make sure to add Nashville. He was voted in the top 10 unknown guitarist's by Vintage Guitar mag. Anyway, this Michael Landau was a really cool find!

[@FVDaudio]

Excelente.

[@douglasharrison5523]

Nice playing.

[@user-pe6mc1wh1r]

Очень круто!!!

[@VoxJ]

WOW!!!! :)

[@rosskolnikov]

I've seen a ton of superb guitarists live, and tops for tone were Michael Landau, Allan Holdsworth, Eric Johnson, and Michael Schenker - in that order.

[@CS-yj8sd]

Hey bro... check out Allen Hinds... taste and tone for days. He will make the list.

[@rikoerlemans6715]

Cose Della Vida brought me here!

[@PIPA1302]

Landau is a fucking legend!!! Greetings from Spain

[@wittekjmusic]

[@miguelelvis]

Fender heaven....OMG sounds.... Hot

[@rvwii]

I also liked Denzel Washington in Training Day...

[@docdeens4030]

This mix is fantastic..lots of butt-shaking rumble with Landau laying the fire on top

[@Mitch_Master]

Yeah mon

[@kelanders]

Nice, Abe and Son on rhythm

[@gabigabi6011]

oh mother!!!!

[@miroslavfejt3483]

sound engineer: ,,ok we are set, you can start"....me after two bars: 2:50

[@ViaticalTree]

I was hoping they'd play Chocolate Rain.

[@CosmicNed]

It always mystifies me how anyone could vote this thumbs down! Obviously ignorance & jealousy at work here... Landau is a god of taste, feel & tone!

[@DrHaze1111]

This is the best thing ive heard in forever! Fucking amazing!

[@yuya109]

[@javiceres]

I was thinking exactly the same !!

[@flaviopaone2539]

dinamite!!
