I think he did an interview for Guitar Player in 87 - 88 that was the last interview I read about him. Very unassuming yet gifted player. Comparison? his style is not as bluesy as Slash. Slash is way accurate but Reb has speed and his grooves are right well bluesy too but he transitions into the hammer-ons like a Patrone' margarita, double margarita. Winger was lucky to have him.
I started to play guitar right after i seen this video, three years ago. I still love Reb Beach playing, he's my inspiration, he makes me feel real desire for playing guitar. Thank you Reb! You Rock!!
Agree on inspiration...but id been playing 4 years, just starting to get pretty good, learned some harder songs/solos, learning to improvise lead that finally didnt sound like just playing scales, could even throw in a bit of tapping...held up with most with exception of really fast stuff (which is what i wanted; 80s shread). Then i saw this...amazed yes, but also disgusted how epic and technical this was compared to me. Definition of "80s sound", and so good i knew id never reach this so i quit playing guitar for a long time lol. Surely someone that plays has had this happen once in their journey?
I was 13 years old in 1989. I remember first hearing his guitar work with Winger and was floored ever since and has been and still is my number one guitar hero!!
Reb has developed one of the most beautiful tappings in guitar history! The technique and sound of the phrasing in tappings is magnificent!!! One of my favorite guitarists... my favorite solo is "Rainbow in the Rose".
I can't believe that people still mention this "RB trashing on KH" thing on most of Reb's videos. it happened like a trillian years ago ... personally I like both. but if I had to pick one as my guitar hero, it definitely would be Reb Beach. I love how he works his right hand. just enjoyable to watch.
I saw Reb at a guitar clinic in Dallas. There wer only about 30 of us ithere that night . Reb is a stand up guy, very cordial towars fans. My friend was the Ibanez rep at the time and was ther with us. I got my autographs and was leaving and my rep buddie said, hey why don't you stay awhile. We are going to let the others leave and hang in the back jamming and drink some Heinekins. Had a great time. Play'd with him and watched in awe. It was wayyyy kool. Rebs so underrated.
I never realized that there was a debate on whether Kirk Hammett or Reb Beach was better. But really is there any comparison? Reb is infinitely better.
Well...it was winger that first made the comparison. It seemed much more a jealousy of Metallica’s success than about anything else. Reb is phenomenal. But Kirk certainly is good too. Kirk will certainly go down as more of an inspirational/ influential player than Reb, and rightfully so. Kirk has probably inspired more kids to pick up a guitar. And Reb has probably intimidated several to put it away.
@@kcb5336 I agree. Kirk is much more of a household name than Reb. Reb is just far more technically skilled. That style caters to more of a niche audience, though.
@@guitarguru.3572 True, it’s like comparing Eddie Van Halen to Jason Becker or Yngwie. When it comes to musicality and virtuosity, the latter two take the cake, but in terms of influential or popular, Van Halen takes the cake.
One can only imagine the relief Reb felt out there in the Brazilian woods when he finally found the perfect material for the neck. Quite a player he is...🎸💥👍
Great tune from the first "Guitars that rule the world" CD from 1992. I believe it's the first track. Lots of great tunes on that album from some great players including Yngwie Malmsteen, Nuno Bettencourt, Alex Skolnick, Richie Kotzen, Paul Gilbert, Richie Sambora, and others. Check it out if you have never heard it.
@Crimson Idol He's not a bad player at all, in fact he's one of the best when it comes to adding the required parts for a song. However the others mentioned are all virtuosos who transcend basic guitar levels.
Back in 94, I first heard this song , 2024 and still exited to hear Reb beach play black magic , such an underrated guitarist, so clean and unique . My kids now listen to him
One of the best, pure players walking our planet. And severely underrated!! When you talk about Reb, you START with the word Brilliant and work your way up.
I wish modern rock artist would write music that has this much energy and enthusiasm incorporated in it. All rock music now seems to be so gloomy and depressing. The 80's was definitely the pinnacle decade for rock music.
@@nickwaters1701 The 60's and 70's built up to the 80's, and the early 90's carried the lasting remains of the late 80's, but after that music generally went downhill and never truly redeemed itself after that.
Im actually baffled that there is actually a debate going on between who is the better technical player between Kirk and Reb, there is no debate, only the FACT that Reb is superior.
Kirk was great back in the 80´s, but better than this guy? xD Almost every guitar player in the roster is better than Kirk lmao, and Kirk is a very strong influence on me.
junito1957 Don't the first guitarist to bring tapping to the mainstream. EVH may seem more simplistic especially since he was one of the first, but he does not 'just make noise'. His playing has a lot of feel and a unique style of his own. Also, odds are, without EVH, all the other names would never have been mentioned. Respect.
Many musicians did their best work high on something, dope or the booze lol By your definition, Jimi Hendrix and Bob Marley, Slash and Jimmy Page, heck almost EVERY musician from the 50's to 80's are not greats.
you know, after listening to this song over and over again, he really smokes. i love it. we dont need to compare him to lynch. Reb rocks! i love them both now!!!
I grew up listening to great guitarists and all genres. Regarding the Beach and Hammett debate I share this. Two different styles based on their band. Kirk is a position player and restrained in his early days to fit the Metallica mold, but listen to solos from "One" and "Unforgiven" when he was allowed some freedom and it still gives me chills. A great player! As for Reb Beach, he is tasty in his playing and had a lot of creative freedom early in his playing, but his soloing was not as remember able as Kirks. I found that since Reb wrote both rhythm and lead that his rhythm playing was catchy and way better than his soloing IMHO. Again, an all around great player as well. Kirk has been boxed in, but he could shred back in the day. Keep in mind that EVH was not an instrumental soloist like Satch, Vai or Yngwie but he is Mr. Riff Extraordinare. Great players, all different styles and band concepts. Rock on!
@Crimson Idol I think Kirk, just like Lars, got complacent with his level of playing, and lost his conviction to evolve further technically. It's not surprising, given the success they achieved by the early 90's. To be fair to Kirk, he actually had pretty decent chops(except for vibrato) and some pretty solos up until The Black Album. He just... kinda lost it all. Same, as Lars.
Name a Reb Beach Solo better than anything Kirk did on the Black album back to his days with Exodus? I'll wait.... I love Reb, but he's never had a solo better than "One" or as well known. He's always been a back up guitarist for the most part and he even admits it in interviews. Still a very good guitarist with different tone and control, but he's a better rhythm player with catchy hooks than a soloist or pure lead guitarist.
Chad Owen well Hungry and Headed for a Heartbreak are better without putting much thought into it. Many others like Rainbow in the Rose and Madeleine are probably better as well.
Reb's a very good player who combines flash and taste, and thats a good thing in my book. Great to see this solo from the VHS I lost years ago. thanks for the post.
when i first heard this i was in 2nd year high school and that was in 1993 . it was the first track on cassette tape on Guitar World release "guitars that rule the world". i love the crushing day of Joe Satch but when i heard this its was freakin' awesome. long live Reb Beach!
Always loved Reb's playing, and this piece is a perfect example of why. He is pretty much the reason I got inspired to get into tapping. The guy just KILLS it in this video!
This is a great video - love Reb Beach, first heard this track in the 90s and thought it was great then. he is a top player and composer for coming up with this stuff - well done Reb!
( Reb Beach - Cutting Loose VHS 1991. Reb's first guitar instructional video) it's also on the album ' Guitars that rule the World' 1991 you can find that here on you tube , the studio version solo is my favourite version, the version here is a bit more ' improvised'...
I really love everything about this, I had the video and a Red Beach guitar, but he left out the beginning of the solo which is one of the most enthralling pieces of melody ever! It's not the song without that part in it. Great guitar, sound, and awesome unbelievable tapping though.
All i have to say is reb beach is freakin awesome dude can make his guitar scream and this song is so epicly awesome such great shredding rock on mr.beach rock on my dude.
Reb is one of the most underrated guitar players, his solos are epic!!
Really nice and Polished/consistently impressive!
I think he did an interview for Guitar Player in 87 - 88 that was the last interview I read about him. Very unassuming yet gifted player. Comparison? his style is not as bluesy as Slash. Slash is way accurate but Reb has speed and his grooves are right well bluesy too but he transitions into the hammer-ons like a Patrone' margarita, double margarita. Winger was lucky to have him.
people usually focus on people like Malmsteen (which is also a very good guitarrist but less accurate shredding)
In retrospect, this guy had a super unique sound, and after all these years, will now stand out from the crowd.
Definitely unique. I think in a weird way it feels a lot more contemporary (whatever that means) compared to a lot of the shred-lords of the 80s.
criminally underrated IMO ... this is one of my fave tunes of all time .. keep coming back to it

Yeah, he is a huge inspiration for me, he made me really see what you can do with tapping, he sounds so beautiful when he taps.
This NEVER gets old! !
I was 13 years old in 1989. I remember first hearing his guitar work with Winger and was floored ever since and has been and still is my number one guitar hero!!
Awesome
This song would be perfect for a car racing video game!
hahaha i thought exactly the same thing bro!
Formula one theme song xD
Road rash ps1 lmao or Gran Turismo 2 ps1
Funny enough Reb Beach played a song for Daytona USA 2 called I Can Do It.
it’s perfect for anything
Once in a while I come here to listen to this Masterpiece and smile 🙏😎🎸
Reb has developed one of the most beautiful tappings in guitar history! The technique and sound of the phrasing in tappings is magnificent!!! One of my favorite guitarists... my favorite solo is "Rainbow in the Rose".
I really wish he was more recognized. He's amazing

one thing i Love about Reb, he just has so much damn fun.. look at him!
LIKE pAUL gILBERT

I can't really get around the fact that Richie Sambora's name was mentioned in the same breath as the others there :/
Esse mesmo

Ritchie Kotzen’s Chype Fluxx there is so technical omg
I bought the cassette when it came out.
Back in 94, I first heard this song , 2024 and still exited to hear Reb beach play black magic , such an underrated guitarist, so clean and unique . My kids now listen to him
So underrated guitarist!
Killer player ! Incredible phrasing , and unbelievable tapping ! So so fluid and smooth !
best tapper ever probably
@@GooseGumlizzard I’d say so! Nobody taps like Reb or sounds anything like him! Completely unique , incredible player
One of the best, pure players walking our planet. And severely underrated!! When you talk about Reb, you START with the word Brilliant and work your way up.
I just got my hair done and was able to play this on my guitar!

Thanks for your great performances,Reb! Best guitar ever,still unbeatable !!!!
I wish modern rock artist would write music that has this much energy and enthusiasm incorporated in it. All rock music now seems to be so gloomy and depressing. The 80's was definitely the pinnacle decade for rock music.
because its all alt. and indie rock bull shit now. The rock industry never got out of the late 90's it seems.
"The 80's was definitely the pinnacle decade for rock music." What about the late 60s, 70s, and early 90s?
A newer band that emerged from Australia in 2007 with their debut album is Airbourne. Very high energy but with a newish sound.
@@nickwaters1701 The 60's and 70's built up to the 80's, and the early 90's carried the lasting remains of the late 80's, but after that music generally went downhill and never truly redeemed itself after that.
@@russkate88 The truth buddy, same here.
Great song with masterful playing! Love Reb!...and Winger!
Reb beach my favorite guitarist ever hands down hes just that epicly awesome.
One of the greatest guitar tracks of all time….
What a freakish incredible guitar player
Until now I've been listening to this song. Reb Beach is one of my best guitarist ever!
Reb is one of the best there is and so underrated 🎸🎼🤘🏻
One of the most underrated guitarists ever, and he still has it. I saw Winger in Feb. 2007, and he was still killing it and knocking back the Coors.
HANSHIN TIGERS!! most famous baseball team in japan!
when this team win games, we can listen this tune through sun television.
Love reb beach...full energy...simple melody..but give good harmonisasi and composisi
overlooked guitarist. so awesome! love winger can't understand why Metallica hated them back then.
They saw them as competition. 😉
This is japanese TV SunTV's ending theme. I'm watching Hanshin Tigers game everyday!
今日も勝ちました おかげで2023年リーグ優勝です インタビューありがとう
Super Fantastic 🤩🤩🤩
Melhor guitarrista que já vi tocar em toda minha vida! Reb Beach, Michael Romeo e John Petrucci são os melhores!
+Metabobo bee Doug Aldrich também mereci o reconhecimento que não tem!!
Gutrie Govan is good too 👍
reb has got great phrasing which never fails to amaze me. thanks for posting!
Im actually baffled that there is actually a debate going on between who is the better technical player between Kirk and Reb, there is no debate, only the FACT that Reb is superior.
Kirk sucks
Kirk is nothing compared to reb
Kirk couldn't play this on CD.
I have no doubts about that.
Kirk was great back in the 80´s, but better than this guy? xD Almost every guitar player in the roster is better than Kirk lmao, and Kirk is a very strong influence on me.
I like coming back to this often lol put it in 1.25x speed. (BOOM) just after your face melts your head explodes !! Metal man!
サンテレビ今日の優勝試合エンディングに本人登場（笑）
Aboslutely love this guy. Amazing Guitarist and one hell of a funny guy. Love the opening riff.
阪神勝った時のサンテレビのエンディングで流れるこの曲かっこよくてたまらん
I never heard of this guy until now.
He is now on my list of awesome players
EVH, Steve Lynch , Vito Bratta , Reb Beach , Dave Celentano , Jennffer Batten are all tapping wizards
EVH just made noise and trying to sound badass , he was really not in ROB beach level
junito1957 Don't the first guitarist to bring tapping to the mainstream. EVH may seem more simplistic especially since he was one of the first, but he does not 'just make noise'. His playing has a lot of feel and a unique style of his own. Also, odds are, without EVH, all the other names would never have been mentioned. Respect.
when eddie was in his prime so was his intake for drugs so he didnt know what the fuck he was playing , he really not amount the greats
some more then others ,moron Eddie was on top 5 always high on dope , your dope
Many musicians did their best work high on something, dope or the booze lol By your definition, Jimi Hendrix and Bob Marley, Slash and Jimmy Page, heck almost EVERY musician from the 50's to 80's are not greats.
I liked this video 15 years ago, from nowhere, UA-cam just suggested it :) 🤘

This is SICK! Just do yourself justice and "favorite" ALL of Reb's vids! He was a monster in his prime and still is! Long live the Beach!

かっけぇ．．．
its amazing when hes tapping and he slides his fingers so fast u dont hear the slide so good amazing!
This is a very Satch sounding track especially at 0:35
Or Satch sounds like Reb
Been this guy's fan for almost 20 years, dude. He can kick some serious ass, can't he!
サンテレビボックス席から来ました
I never knew much about Reb Beach until I first heard this video.
He is fantastic!
阪神タイガース優勝記念
this song had been used in TV sports news in Japan. I like it.
What year was this filmed or released? He's all kinds of badassry! Had no clue just how awesome he could play
( Reb Beach - Cutting Loose VHS 1991. Reb's first guitar instructional video) it's also on the album ' Guitars that rule the World' 1991 you can find that here on you tube , the studio version solo is my favourite version, the version here is a bit more ' improvised'...
Its his unique tapping technique that makes him special. I'd love to be able to do it. So fluid.
Love his style and feel.
HOW'S HE HAVE HIS GUITAR SET UP!!!??? I'LL NEVER KNOW!!
83 Probably never touched a guitar dislike this? I do not get people who can't appreciate awesome playing like this!
サンテレビや！
I really love everything about this, I had the video and a Red Beach guitar, but he left out the beginning of the solo which is one of the most enthralling pieces of melody ever! It's not the song without that part in it. Great guitar, sound, and awesome unbelievable tapping though.
Can I be like that if I just eat sleep and play guitar?
yep i bet u could
No you need more protein and carbs :D
Yes. In time
You'll need a good perm too though...
All i have to say is reb beach is freakin awesome dude can make his guitar scream and this song is so epicly awesome such great shredding rock on mr.beach rock on my dude.
