Wow this dude kills it - every time. Catch him live if you ever have a chance.

[@Meypelnek]

Great performance. And: What a beautiful Jazz Bass!

[@joshthompson795]

Michael Landau and the chocolate rain kid on bass

[@adamscottmccomb]

Finally Michael gets the endorsement from Fender that he has always deserved, good to see :)

[@frs2112]

Incredible performance. The unmistakable Fender signature, along with Michael´s good taste and feelings. Great!

[@miles-178]

Michael Landau, Gary Novak and Reggie , my faves Gar is No.1 !!!

[@hendrix2430]

Wow, Landau is always on point

[@javiceres]

My God, this man has The Strat tones. He sounds so good it's almost frustrating

[@h.j.w2783]

Another one to check out is Blake Mills.

[@honeboy57]

Beautiful playing and tone. Mike is a modern day guitar god.

[@lorenzmuller3542]

I think it's coming from the stereo chorus arion pedal...

[@ShaneGrimstead]

@@lorenzmuller3542lol

[@randerson2842]

Really great guitarist. No cliches in there, real improvisation and great tone.

[@charlescrisp2814]

my 2 favourite fenders a start and the Jazz Bass the best creations that fender has ever made.

[@MrJeezus]

My guitar teacher told me about this mufuka. Awesome!

[@KingTabor]

I'd watch 20 more videos from this session

[@ericksaulchangperez9388]

Marcus Vinnas i'd watch a thousand...

[@stewartgerhart5418]

Awesome talent. Drummer and Bassist are kickiin' it.

[@marcusprado71]

Ah! This is so beatiful!!

[@bajistaleo77]

Oh Fender I love your basses!!!!!! they have the best sound in the world

[@mattdickey2717]

Extraordinarily talented musicians, I love a great 3 piece. Landau is highly underrated. For me he's up there with Herring, Carlton, Lukather, Ritenour, etc. But you don't hear his name mentioned as often as you do with them.

[@mz2250]

lukather is one of his best friend they grow up togheter and one time told he wouldn't be what he is without ML

[@lorenzmuller3542]

He is one of my favorite guitarists. As a drummer I am a big fan of Vinnie Colaiuta who has been a very good friend of his. They did many many recordings together. Landau's sound and musical approach is extraordinary and unique as far as I can see.

[@richardberry5453]

mike is sublime,perhaps the very best,GOAT,scott henderson likes mike in the top spot

[@coughforme21]

Landau is easily as good as those guys you mentioned and far better than Herring. The more I listen to Landau, the more I fucking love his playing and the choices he makes.

[@coughforme21]

Landau needs to post short clips almost daily on Instagram. That would cause billionaires to pay him gobs of cash to pay their b-day parties. And attendees would go "holy shit", listen to the guitar player!

[@heavenhaven3960]

Beautiful, dreamy, charming&magic melodies come from Landau's fingers! I hear colours and see sounds!!

[@LucenaBlues]

LOVE IT!!!

[@degani.guilherme]

HELL Yeah!!!

[@musicrelax8114]

Excelente,que magia,impresionante.felicitaciones.

[@greatvanzini]

That is some way out cool for sure! Exciting new sounds.

[@CamiloVelandia]

Phenomenal!!!!!

[@jbcarbou]

SO COOL!!

[@ArielsSmartyPants]

Hell yeah!

[@ManfredElsingBielefeld]

da ist aber viel Fender!!!!!Amazing!

[@jeffallan3761]

Great playing!

[@jackdejohnette2810]

The master

[@grupotelaranas6075]

En un momento la guitarra se escucha como la guitarra de los shadows. Ese sonido limpio de Fender con Reverb

[@netenemy]

Sick tone.

[@lorenzmuller3542]

I think it's coming from the stereo chorus arion pedal...

[@changpahk6595]

Nicolas Cage + Denzel Washington hahahaha sounds amazing~!

[@SethyTan]

+Chang Pahk Nicolas Cage + Danzel washington + Bruce Willis

[@dangrahamdrums]

1:45 just needs Sting to jump into frame and sing "eeeeeeeyeeeeeeaaaaaaayyyoooooo".

[@FVDaudio]

Excelente.

[@dealsbetweenfriends]

remember seeing Michael the boss at Baked Potatoe in early80's along with Larry C!

[@politicus56]

This music reminds me a lot, I mean really a lot, of the Gateway album from the mid 70s on ECM. Abercrombie, Holland and Dejohnette.

[@yjlimay]

que bueno que esta ... y que bien que esta tocando la bata Juan Carlos Baglietto! podrian sumarlo a Vitale... seria increible!

[@robertbossart]

Michael Landau Stratocaster, my fave guitar (I've got the same model, but can't play as good, but the guitar smells extraordinary!). Great sound anyway, on this vid and at home with my fender amps ;-)

[@777Yoni]

+Robert Bossart I had a friend that very briefly had a pink Strat that smelled like fish. He used to call it "the stinky pink."

[@Cam1959fly]

nice!

[@NeilAubrey]

It’s his ability to stay away from the predictable in all the musical elements: blues licks, rhythm patterns, harmony even tone colours.

[@mrgreensound]

a strat is the best

[@DeanMccormick]

Nice;)

[@jeffreyanthony6628]

This is fucking dope

[@fender68able]

Can someone tell me what the name of the finish is on that jazz bass? Looks nice!

[@purplehaze9154]

Fuckin hell, Gary Novak is the drummer? Scary playing man

[@gerdz101]

Is that Denzel Washington on Bass? kidding. Great music! love the bass.

[@MrJeezus]

Yes it is.

[@onzkicg]

gerdzpogi lol, that's it.. I was trying to think about it- this dude looks familiar:)

[@richardberry5453]

how lucky is he playing with those two guys,the best of the best

[@TheSecondNature]

what's that chord transition he does at 5:38 ? sounds extremely peculiar. is it only a fast volume swell or is there something more?

[@guitarelaxed]

He´s shifting from E minor to Bb7(b5) to Csus4 to C

[@FTStratLP]

This reminds me of Jeff Beck.

[@ghermanrares2336]

Is he using a fender super reverb?

[@cristianguerrini9809]

No... Fender Deluxe Reverb i think reissue

[@To.Si.Ma.]

I loved the Elite basses. The Ultra basses have ugly colors.

[@Petestratoguitar]

there is any album that contain this track? i want it :(

[@giorgiocaruso2970]

questo è un arrangiamento più figo della versione presente nell'album di Steve Gadd 70 strong

[@Petestratoguitar]

@@giorgiocaruso2970 alla fine ero riuscito a trovarlo, purtroppo non c'è c'è un disco con questa versione. Grazie lo stesso, dopo tanti anni 😁

[@DiedrichKnickerbocker1783]

Very first Mike Landau video. Sounds very similar to Andy Timmons. Also Jeff Beck. Not sure who emulated whom. Sorry for the ignorance. .

[@Matthordika]

They're all "emulating" the blues!

[@javiceres]

AFAIK Beck comes first, then Landau, then Timmons (in time). I thought the same the first times I heard Landau, the Beck influence. I also hear Hendrix, perhaps more in other songs. But I guess they all have they're own thing going, ie, here Landau reminds me of Bill Frisell.

[@8triagrammer]

some melodies similar to "Spider Time", interesting

[@tcprescue8417]

signal chain?

[@miles-178]

those drums must be Gretsch .. probably renown maple kit

[@stratman808]

Yeah whats the amp, looks like a Michael Landau Single Channel signature Hot Rod Deville might be on the Horizon?

[@texacaster]

let's hope so!

[@cristianguerrini9809]

Deluxe reverb use here

[@fre4409]

I wonder why he chose a rosewood fretboard versus a maple?

[@arturonunez2890]

jonh mayer brought me here

[@lestervai]

so this is what fender wants? that their artist must play all FENDER equipments?

[@mattfuller4307]

That's why John Mayer is no longer a fender artist

[@lestervai]

yeah. thats what i thought when writing this comment

[@MrEnzoprestinenzi]

Resuteru Kaitano This is truly nonsense!! Fender give them money to play their stuff. What do you expect them yo play at a Fender sessions? Gibson/Ibanez/PRS equipment maybe?

[@philsackett7341]

Resuteru Kaitano I heard they even make him wear Fender underwear.

[@mz2250]

+Enzo Prestinenzi landau used to plqy suhr or custom audio electronic amp , now he switched to hi signature fender amp.

[@john-zw9rw]

Prefer Landau Bands....without ford

[@xblackb0x]

man he is great. Its a shame he like to use the chorus tho :p

[@BGoldtone]

Really? Gotta be supporting Fender? Can't just put out videos for the sake of music without supporting a product. Shameless. I remember when Landau was playing a different brand of guitar years ago. Guess money speaks. I say "sell out"....

[@brentonsalassi7916]

Landau has been using Fender for decades.

[@lestera34]

Mike has been playing fender amps and guitars almost exclusively since around 2008-2009.

[@2ndlars]

BGoldtone, you know why companies like Fender support musicians, right? To get some advertisement in return. These sessions are named "Fender Studio Sessions" aren't they? Mr. Landau didn't put this out, Fender did. In return for giving Mr. Landau something (perhaps free instruments or amps) they may have asked him to perform some songs where he promotes the instruments and amps he is using. This type of advertisement has been used since the dawn of companies. You say "sell out" and "Shameless", I just listen to the nice music and say "thanks for the great performance".

[@ChildofDread]

2ndlars He was playing Suhr for a bit too mixed in with his Fenders. He is also the inspiration on the Tyler guitars. But he would sound just as good with a Pignose and an old Squire.

[@BGoldtone]

Landau has done just fine for himself. He has played on more studio sessions than most of his better know peers.

[@rubentrevino6288]

im sorry but this for me is pointless and going nowhere ...

[@jackdejohnette2810]

+Ruben Trevino No need to apologise, some folk get it and love it and some dont

[@mateuszszemraj6859]

+Ruben Trevino Where would you like it to go? For me it's perfect just right where it is.
