Michael Schenker Group

**Michael Schenker Group** on hard rock-yhtye, jonka perusti Scorpions ja UFO -yhtyeiden kitaristi Michael Schenker. Yhtye on perustettu vuonna 1979 Lontoossa.

Vuonna 1986 Schenker ja laulaja Robin McAuley muodosttivat McAuley Schenker Groupin, joka kesti vuoteen 1993 saakka. Sen jälkeen vuonna 1996 Michael Schenker Group teki comebackin.

Yhtyeen musiikkia voi kuvata melodiseksi hard rockiksi, jossa on progressiivisia vaikutteita. Schenker on kuuluisa hänen puoliksi mustasta ja puoliksi valkoisesta Gibson Flying V -kitarastaan ja hänen epäsovinnaisesta lähestymistavastaan soolokitaraan. Häntä sponsoroi Dean Guitars, joka on tunnettu neo-klassisesta genrestään.
