Is Reb Beach a Guitar Legend?

Hello and welcome to the channel. In this video we will take a look at the career of the legendarily unheralded Reb Beach. Beach started as a studio guy before linking up with Kip Winger to form Winger. He has also had stints in Dokken and Nightranger. As well as currently being in Whitesnake and Black Swan as well as Winger.

I've seen Reb play a few times. He is right up there with the greats of the 80s......Winger doesn't get the credit they all deserve, certainly not Kip. He is a prodigy too. Incredibly talented and diverse.

[@greatguitaristoftherockera2833]

I agree they are all great musicians even if you don’t like their music. Thanks for watching.

One of the greatest guitar solos I've ever heard was Reb Beach's solo on Whitesnake The Sands of Time (Radio Edit). I swear that guitar solo is a living thing, the way it moves and breathes is unlike any other musical composition. It is absolutely sublime.

[@greatguitaristoftherockera2833]

@SahiraSound thanks for the comment. I don’t know that one I’ll have to check it out.

[@ralph9748]

EVH came along and then everybody was knicking his ideas.... especially the tapping....reb beach taps as much as anyone post EVH...bt he DOESNT sound like eddie unlike everyone else....reb took the tapping to another level and ended up with one of the most distinctive sounds of all the 80's guys..... impressive ✌🏼

[@greatguitaristoftherockera2833]

I agree. There were only a few that did something different with it.

[@matevzdraksler4576]

100%

[@mickbarnett4104]

Reb Beach is nothing short of legendary.

Thanks for watching and the comment.

[@johanjotun1647]

I remember being a kid and seeing him with that natrual wood guitar cut away to the trem and thinking it was the coolest fiddle I had ever seen.... Obviously his ability to play with soooo many different bands shows how skilled he is.

[@greatguitaristoftherockera2833]

Yeah it’s a pretty cool guitar. I think he still plays them, even though I don’t think they are still available new.

[@RandyFricke]

Reb Beach is a very good guitar player.

[@greatguitaristoftherockera2833]

Yes he is. Thanks for watching.

[@SixStringOverdose]

YES!
(I haven't watched the video, but I just dropped by to answer the question in the title 😄)

[@bradhienzachary]

Love his tapping style!

[@greatguitaristoftherockera2833]

Thanks for watching and the comment.

[@mattmacarthur520]

So fluid and smooth . To this day NOBODY has been able to fully replicate or play the way Reb does. Extremely unique player especially his tapping

[@patrickethington16]

I had no idea he was heavily influenced by Steve Morse and the Dixie dregs. So cool that he ended up in a band with Rod Morgenstein.

[@greatguitaristoftherockera2833]

[@ratter531]

Reb is just amazing.

[@greatguitaristoftherockera2833]

Thanks for watching and the comment.

[@Habilio1]

reb has gold and platinum albums under his belt, he also was in numerous guitar issues magazine year after year, when there was no multimedia platform to the masses.
sooooooo how many new guitarist have this now? so yes he is a legend!

[@greatguitaristoftherockera2833]

Reb is a legend. Thanks for watching and the comment.

[@randyjohnson5426]

Reb plays very clean live...very few missed notes. He reminds me of Vito from White lion.

[@seansutube5791]

he seems like an even cooler dude than just guitar player.

[@greatguitaristoftherockera2833]

Thanks for watching and the comment.

[@isaiahmarquez9717]

HA! He looks like a Earl. 😂
Great guitarist!

[@greatguitaristoftherockera2833]

Thanks for watching.

[@leftygtrplr6184]

Reb is such an incredible guitar player and so underrated! It always has pissed me off that Mike Judge/Beavis & Butthead completely derailed Reb/Winger's career. If anything, they should have done that to Poison, not Winger. Winger had all top-notch musicians and Poison, well...

[@greatguitaristoftherockera2833]

[@greatguitaristoftherockera2833]

Thanks for watching and the comment.

[@mattsmitchger259]

I got to see him fill in with Dokken. Pretty disappointed I didn't get to see George Lynch, but it was an acceptable substitute.

[@greatguitaristoftherockera2833]

They are both great players. Thanks for watching.

[@christophertaylor5403]

Warren demartini

[@SahiraSound]

Also one of my favorites. The two of them are at the top of my list.

[@greatguitaristoftherockera2833]

Thanks for the comment. Unfortunately there are copyright laws.

[@djacobmadrigal]

That’s saying something: he’s up there with the greats of the 80’s. Lol😂Jimmy Page, Ritchie Blackmore, Alex Lifeson, Tony Iommi, are legends. Legends are rare. So no, Reb is not a legend. Good guitarist, yes. Underrated yes but not a legend.

[@greatguitaristoftherockera2833]

Thanks for watching and the comment.

[@matevzdraksler4576]

Reb is legend on his own for sure, not notorious like these legends, but better guitarist then all of them😅
