Michael Schenker, né le 10 janvier 1955 à Sarstedt, est un musicien et guitariste de hard rock et heavy metal traditionnel allemand, qui a notamment été membre d'UFO, Scorpions et MSG. Michael Schenker a influencé de nombreux guitaristes de différents groupes de metal parmi lesquels on peut citer Dave Mustaine, Kirk Hammett, Randy Rhoads, John Norum, Yngwie Malmsteen[réf. souhaitée]. Durant sa carrière, Schenker se façonne un style musical et une technicité de jeu qui lui sont totalement propres. Le guitariste allemand explique d'ailleurs qu'il a très tôt arrêté d'écouter de la musique afin de ne pas être influencé par les autres et suivre son propre chemin.
