    Reb Beach was on the cover of GuitarWorld Magazine every other month... then Grunge hit and GuitarWorld started making fun of him. I was so disgusted I stopped reading the rag altogether

      Guitar World features porn actresses wearing guitars whenever they put women on their covers. Guitar Player features REAL women guitarists on their covers! Now I hear Guitar World threw Winger under the bus?! They suck!

    Awesome lesson David. Reb is one of my favorites. I liked how you called out the injustice of Mike Judge to rip Winger. They were so talented and such well rounded musicians. Really like that bridge you taught us on State of Emergency. So melodic. Thanks man!

    Pull is such an under appreciated album. Might be their best album and no one really knows about it. Reb’s still sounding and playing great on the new Black Swan album too.

    He uses his pinky in seventeen to hit the f# on the 11th fret. That’s a common mistake. Watch a video of him playing it live.

    Just a month or so ago I leave a comment (on the Nuno post) about how much I learned about rhythm playing from Nuno and Reb and now... a "Chords of Winger" lesson? Are you stalking me, Dave? ;-) Reb, like Michael Schenker, is such an unappreciated genius. His solos are amazing but his rhythm playing is epic. I still play "Hungry", "Loosen Up" and "Black Magic" to warm up. Another great post. Stay safe everyone. Cheers.

    Cutting loose was my favorite Guitar Video in the 80-90s, its so inspirational with feeling and very musically
    , compared to many other guitar videos in that aera that were mostly focused on technic and speed. Since then i'm a great fan of reb beach. Thanks for this video - lesson. Highly appreciated!

    • @mattmacarthur520
      @mattmacarthur520 2 роки тому +2

      Right ! So much good stuff in cutting loose instructional ! That was Reb at his peak in my opinion from 88-93 Reb was right up there with vai and Satriani as far as innovative , exciting guitar playing his tapping is still incredible today and Monday has ever been able to replicate the smoothness he has when he taps . Very melodic player with plenty of fire thrown in too ! Great lesson as always Dave you rock man!

    I bought the self-titled debut on cassette while staying at my grandparents' house in Alabama back in 2008, along with the cassette of David Lee Roth's "Skyscraper". Bought "In The Heart of the Young" on CD at Half Price Books in 2009, followed by "Pull" in 2011. Saw them twice: once in 2014, the second time in 2016. Incredible live.

    Winger like a lot of other ballad metal bands suffered short lives because the pop fans reject them for being too metal and the metalheads reject them for being too pop.Kip Winger didn't help their popularity by challenging another rocker publically to a ballet dance off-it was one of the most un-metal moments.sad part is many of these ballad metal bands very viable players

    Great video. Reb is a killer guitarists. His rhythms are tricky. I love them though. Very cool stuff. He has a solo rock fusion album that is killer, and I'm not normally into that genre, personally. To each his own though.
    I think Tebs rhythms are what really are much more fun to play.
    Saw Winger open for Cinderella at an outdoor show. Bullet boys too at that show and it was loud and just killer. Loved that show. It was in like 91.

    3:02 - Back in the day, when I received the GFTPM issue in the mail (shown on the left side of the picture), it had the transcription to Seventeen in it. I couldn't get it down because either the transcription was bad (I can now check) or I couldn't get the hand position right on the fretboard to play it. The song, Madalaine - no problem! But Seventeen seemed impossible to me at the time.
    Thanks for your video explaining it!

      That would be a tough one ! Rebs tapping technique is completely unique to himself and I’ve never really seen any other players be able to replicate it and use it as a part of their phrasing and playing vocabulary the way Reb did . To me that’s what really set him apart from other players , was his ability to integrate it into his phrasing at any moment ... the smoothest tapper our there no doubt .. just pure smooth shred, so sweet sounding to my ears always loved Reb what a great player ! That being said David is absolutely incredible and he’s literally tackled so many great bands and guitarist and he makes it look so easy ! Thank you David for all you do in the music community, you’re so inspiring and educational. I’ve been a fan or your channel and work from the very beginning , rock on guys 🤘

      @toodark6 4 роки тому

      I always wondered why Mike picked them to put on Stuart's shirt. To be fair, Metallica was using Kip's face as a dartboard 3 years before B&B came on the air, and the documentary (and the 'Nothing Else Matters' video) showing them doing that came out in '92, so was that Judge's inspiration for that? Or did he already think they were pansies? Or was it, maybe, one of the other writers for the show, and not Mike's doing at all?

    Never really cared for Reb back in the day but thru his recent work with Joel Hoekstra in Whitesnake I have a new found appreciation for him. P.S - How about a 3 for all of Steve Gaines of Lynyrd Skynyrd? (Allen Collins would be cool as well).

  • @JustinChampa
    @JustinChampa 4 роки тому

    Interestingly, Kip played the majority of acoustic gutters on “Pull”. Reb only added harmony or doubled acoustic parts on a few of the tunes. Kip was obviously inspired by acoustic guitars at the time as many of the songs on the album have significant, or even entire (“Who’s The One”), acoustic instrumentation. On a few tracks Reb is credited with playing acoustic, but on most tracks he’s credited with “All Electric Guitars”.

  • @chrishandley

    Really cool I didn't particularly listen to Winger back in the day, Shame as I missed out on some really cool rhythm stuff. I'll have look at some more Reb Beech stuff and have a go at learning some bits of this episode.
    listening to this made me think back to the stuff I was listening to at the time and Little angels immediately sprang to mind. Bruce John Dickinson would be a really cool guitarist for you to do a lesson on in my view. I remember spending hours tapping spread pentatonic things with a wah pedal trying to emulate his style! in fact I think that's why I bought one!

    I caught a lot of shit over it, but because I played guitar back when those songs first came out when I was in jr high school, I knew Winger wasn't a joke like all my "It's Slayer or nothing" buddies had to say. I mean sure I loved Slayer and Metallica and Anthrax/Motorhead/Ozzy/etc, but I loved Winger's music too. I didn't give a damn what they thought. Reb is a wizard on the guitar, and the whole band was great. I admit Kip's dancing around stuff was sort of the "Rock Me Tonight" kiss of death, but anyway. I was also happy to hear you bring up Dangerous Toys! That first album was KILLER! Scott Dalhover is a PAINFULLY underrated, overlooked, even largely unknown guitarist from the end of the 80s/early 90s. I found him on UA-cam a few years ago under the name "MrTriskaidekaphobic" where he has a few guitar lessons from their old stuff. People should check him out. He's still a badass.

    I really love your videos! Especially because your going talking about a lot of underrated bands. Blind Revolution Mad is a great piece of music. I would even guess that Kip played the acoustic parts on it. There is a video on UA-cam where you can see Kip playing the parts to Spell I'm Under. I can't confirm it but it could be possible.. Thanks so much for work!
