@@musicspeaks1074 before the burning water, in 1992, Tyler released about 60-70 guitars in psychedelic vomit. All hand signed by Mike. You might as well cultivate yourself before pretending someone is "Bs-ing". It’s okay to be ignorant.
So great to hear Mike speak. I know he’s not a big fan of interviews and social media, so any opportunity to hear him discuss his musical career, gear, etc., is a rare treat. 😎👍🏻
I don't think that's Mike speaking. Honestly, it sounds annoying. It doesn't sound natural, sounds like the other person stated someone trying to sound like McConaghey.
@@fusion5866 thanks for clarifying that. I'd seen other videos with him talking & that didn't sound like him at all to me. Loved the video, but the voice just ugh....
Unpredictable harmonic and melodic sense that challenges the ear but, at the same time, the highly technical and detailed playing style conforts the listener, creating a really deep and sophisticated form of soulful music. God bless this man.
Mike Landau has become my favorite living guitarist. After Allan Holdsworth died, I’ve been lost. Allan was my patron saint of guitar. It’s really about the music, sound and integrity. Ive been so thrilled with Mike Landau as he beautifully exemplifies all these things. Kudos to Mike on his enduring legacy and to Fender for finding a truly great endorser and frontman. Mike’s tone, music, career are stuff of legend.
One of the greatest experiences in my life was being 6 feet away in front of him while playing at a Baked Potato gig and shaking his hand afterwards. WILL NEVER EVER FORGET!!! ❤️
Karizma at the Baked so many times back in the day. I used to have to hide from the waitress to avoid the 2 drink minimum. I could barely afford to get in!😂
Mike should totally consider voicing a character in a TV-show or a video game. His voice sounds terrific! Fender are really knocking it out of the park with the Stories Collection guitars. So great to see players like Michael Landau and Brent Mason getting honored for their amazing contribution to music!
Landau is a monster guitar player! One of the greatest of our generation and my personal favorite. This new Coma signature strat sounds great! Congrats Mike and Fender!
I was very fortunate to see Michael live a few years ago. I was located 2 meters from him, and I assure you that I will never forget that experience. Absolutely incredible.
Beautiful video, not just your average product-promoting video. We can feel how much music and guitars mean to Mike, but we can feel as well the love and respect for the man from Fender's people. I believe that, at least, it's just this, a video about music, love and respect. And beautiful Fender guitars. 💖💖💖💖
If you have ever chance to see Landaus live performance (like one in "Baked Potato') you will quickly realized that you have privilege to see and hear Monster.,His tone, touch ,feel, technique is out of this world and will instantly knock you out cold.He is so original and so unique, Personally for me, Michael is the Best Blues guitar player EVER!!! Period.
This particular signature model is so specific to Landau that I can only see collectors or Landau devotees owning it. He is a monster player. The guitar is cool 😎.
Your opinion makes sense but, ive just bought one and I now have to disagree. From the minute I picked it up there was something special about it. It's the sort of guitar that you can make 'yours'. It's pretty amazing
@vintagepipesnightmares That's exactly what I thought until my one arrived, and somehow, it just fits in with the aura of the guitar. Weird but also had two friends play the guitar and think the same. From a practical point of view, it also helps with the tremolo use.

The star of these videos is the new soundbits Mike is presenting. Would love to hear these on an EP
Damn! This is the best Fender signature series commercial I’ve ever seen. I’m ready to buy this model and I don’t even play guitar (I’m a bass player)! Nice work, Fender, et al. 😎👍🏼
Landau and Lukather are two of my favorite guitarists. If Fender would have made this as seen during Michael's Floyd Rose modification period, I would be interested. Great to see and hear you play Michael!
Michael is my favorite guitarist/musician of all time. I have never seen anyone wrong every possible thing out of a guitar like he can. See him at the baked potato sometime. Best thing you’ll ever see.
I've been playing HSS Strats for an incredibly long amount of time. It's cool to know that a player that's "in the know" has embraced them for a long time too. Back off haters!
I have to say that Michael Landau to me is the genius of the instrument! When I was 9 years old I saw the Beatles on The Ed Sullivan Show and from that point on I was hooked! I was very fortunate that my father made good money back in the day and in 1961 he bought me a Fender Stratocaster in Fiesta red and a Tweed Deluxe. I'm happy to say that I still have those two instruments and will never sell them ever. That was the biggest gift my father ever gave to me besides his love. I know what Michael is saying about the power of music to overcome things like anxiety or depression or things of that nature. I have PTSD and guitar has been my Saving Grace for decades I'm now 68 years old. I've been teaching for over 25 years and other than getting out and Performing it's my passion. There's nothing like looking at one of my students and realizing that lightbulb just went off in his head or her head and that they're getting it! There's just no finer feeling to help another musician along their Journey. And Michael has done just that for me. I have many guitars and many amps and one of my favorite apps other than the deluxe that my dad got me is the Michael Landau version of The Hot Rod DeVille. It's an excellent pedal platform and the cleans are vintage Fender and perfection. I just want to thank Michael from the bottom of my heart for being such an inspiration to me!❤🎉🎸💯🎶🔊😊👍🙏
The point is not in the guitar, the point is in the person. Yes, probably, this person is really satisfied with his guitar. But the main thing is that he himself feels the music very sensitively. Thank you, it was nice to listen and watch.
Maybe the best gear ad I've ever seen. Beautiful playing! I've been lucky enough to have seen Michael twice with The Ringers. The touch, the expression, ........
What an absolute king! Mike is the real deal. Such emotively rich playing, not to mention that tone! My god. I love this new guitar, but no matter what Michael plays, he always sounds like this. So amazingly filthy, beautiful, clean, obnoxious, deep, bold, sweet, chimey, agressive, unapologetic and everything in between. Amazing. I'll never forget my music teacher in High School showing my friends and I a Raging Honkies CD. I couldn't believe what I heard. I recognised a lot of classic stuff like Hendrix and it also contained the element of the 90's grunge bands that I've also loved very much. Ever since that moment I've been a huge fan of Mike's. Forever grateful!
Like a docufilm an introspective immersion in guitar and musicians philosophy of life and music….amazing. I love this way and I love Landau sound and history
I just saw the response to my Question 'Is that Michael speaking '? So that, just is ...... more Wow. the sound of his Voice , the way he speaks with this undertone of mischief. That is basically how he plays. Deep Human being. i became hip to him when he was with Vinnie at the modern Drummers Festival. for the few of you that are NOT hip to that, Immediately search on RU-vid. Again , my favorite player. he basically , and i dont want to sound that i compare. but he has created his own special Thing from Larry Carlton, Jeff Beck and Hendrix.
Michael-wow, this new Coma signature Strat looks and sounds fantastic. Have always loved the tones you've had over the years like the millions of fans worldwide. Superb video and playing, always inspiring sir-thank you!
Two things: man what a player! Can’t believe I missed him. He has great taste in strat styling. No I didn’t know of this guitar until I saw this video.
Mike is a beautiful and amazing human. I totally relate to his guitar story. My main strat has seen so many incarnations, and plenty of abuse to land in its current spot.
So, are there recordings of these tunes available as played in the video? Some killer stuff there. Mike's always been a monster. This was FAR better than the edited Custom Shop version of the video, providing a natural narrative flow and providing so many of the details left out of the CS clip.
wow ! Thank you very much. This "demo" session gave me goosebumps. Most beautiful playing and a feel so sensitive you hear the tear and also shades tipping about in the back. Now I´m listening to more and getting inspired in my own playing and my ears just cuddle up listening to Coma do his magic.
If anyone doesn't know Michael landau you're DEPRIVED YOURSELF the modern day Hendrix and more. Check him out he's so harmonically advanced. Tons of technique but ORGANIC... ENJOY
Word of advice for all - and it is common sense though I neglected it - if you use plumbers tape for your trem arm clean out excess tape every time you take the arm out. I didn’t and tape gunk built up to the point I put the arm in and tightened too hard and it cracked the block.
I don't mean to posthumously slander or hurt anyone's fandom feelings. But #MichaelLandau is the even more soulful, lyrical, expressive and at times brutally raging player on the ole axe to me than late guitar royalty #JeffBeck. And this here... isn't only a promo video. It's a manifesto to music and guitar playing and a declaration of love for the Stratocaster guitars particularly. Oh, how I long to feel this way again myself once more.... THIS is what had me passionate about playing the instrument, exactly as he narrates in a soft spoken, pensive tone of voice along with playing the most accomplished pieces of his music. Those were the days! (And damn,I want his slender hands!)
Awesome video and so glad Fender released this guitar. I sit here watching this and hear his style coming through from all his session work that I know of... Its an interesting guitar, but the magic is in the hands.
Saw Mike Landau with James Taylor last fall and except his wonderfully expressive playing it was one of the best live guitar sounds I ever heard. He effortlessly went from shimmering whispers to thunderous roars with a absolute clarity in tone. He must have played the Coma then and it was plugged into a Suhr stack :).
Maxus!!! Sheena Easton, Laura Branigan, Joni Mitchell, Anne Bertucci, Tommy Nilsson, Chicago....... From early '80s, that is the reference of my guitars!
We can finally see Landau’s bridge setup. And saddles very high. Bigger the brake up angle of the string over the saddle bigger the tone. I wonder if it has the neck angle changed like they do today at custom shop to replace the neck shims ? Beautiful 👏👏
The only reason that there isn’t a Keith Richards signature Tele is that Keith Richards doesn’t want Fender to do it. He was probably the first Tele player that they asked. Fear not, assuming that he doesn’t live forever, once he’s dead and gone I’m sure his family will jump right on that cash grab.
