    Im always Hungry for Hair Metal, I just Can't Get Enuff of the stuff I listened to when I was Seventeen! You do realize that when this video is over we are Headed for a Heartbreak Leon so any time you think it is Time to Surrender we will be Hanging On for you to get us out of our State of Emergency for lack of more Hair Metal!
    Lillian Axe is who Ragdoll reminds me of and you can do a few of their riffs.

    Reb Bech is such an underrated guitar player.
    One of the few player who in those days, didn't just stay that Van Halen style tapping.
    "Cuts it Loose" by Reb Bech is a really nice instrumental.
    Edit: this auto correct thing just changed Reb to Rabies.

      Back in the day I was a huge George Lynch fan. At some point George was out of Dokken and Reb took over. I went to a Dokken show thinking it sucks that Lynch isn't playing. I left that show with a new guitar hero. Beach is THAT good.

      I remember watching the cutting it loose video and I think at the beginning before he starts playing someone says something like “the song is in E flat if you want to play along” and then he started playing and I was like how the fuck do you play along to this 🤣

  • @catalystcollide3473
    @catalystcollide3473 4 года назад +8

    The riff to Seventeen is deceptively difficult. I remember learning to play it and it wrecked my finger tips. Such a great riff. I always thought Reb Beach and Vito Bratta were criminally underrated - both technically and from a song writing perspective.

    Loved that you featured Rainbow in the Rose, unforgettable hard rock tune from the 80s. Winger's first two albums were mind blowing. Hangin On from the first lp and Can't Get Enuff from the second are also classic Winger sound songs. Way to go Leon!

  • @nicholastotoro7721
    @nicholastotoro7721 4 года назад +6

    Reminds me how much more I liked “In The Heart of the Young” and “Pull” when they came out, compared to the first album. I mean, I *really* liked “In The Heart of the Young” and it had more Prog and R&B elements than people gave it credit for. I think was 17 when it came out... ?
    Kip Winger’s biggest sin was being good looking LOL! Even among all the guys back then with their makeup, ink and fake hair, girls seemed to go gaga over him and I think that made a lot of guys jealous. Saw them live with Cinderella and The Bullet Boys and Winger live was like men among boys. All four of those guys are ridiculously accomplished even before they were together. A “Hair Metal Toto” is a perfect description!

  • @greekfreak1980
    @greekfreak1980 4 года назад +5

    Winger got a lot of ricidule from the Beavis & Butthead thing and the whole beef with Soldoutallica eh... I mean Metallica,but these guys are massively talented musicians.
    Reb Beach is a monster guitarist just watch a video from the early 90´s where he´s doing some cool Jazz/Fusion on an Ibanez 7string that he got from Steve Vai as a gift! John Roth (the second guitar player) is a veteran session musician who can hold his own against Reb. The drummer,Rod Morgenstein, is a professor at Berklee College of Music!!
    And Kip Winger himself,who was made fun of,as a "hair-metal pretty boy" ,is a "proper" musician.
    He used to be the touring bassplayer for Alice Cooper,in the early 80´s and after the whole "hair-metal" thing passed in the 90´s,he went to college to study classical music. He has an actual degree in classical music and even composed a symphony.
    Not some rock meets classic stuff,I´m talking a proper classical piece,that he recorded with an orchestra. Dude even got a Grammy nomination for it.
    Btw. "Junkyard Dog" has an insane riff in the breakdown of the song,before the solo kicks in. That riff is sooo good,other bands would have used it for the main riff.

    • @LeonTodd

    @courtney2018 4 года назад +2

    Reb Beach is one of my major influences. The acoustic intro to Madeline is awesome. Winger's first album is by far my favorite, but I do really like the 2nd one two. One song you didnt mention was the one he did for his video instructional. I feel like not many people know that he doesnt use his pinky finger and developed a way to tap and ring the next string with his tapping hand. I tried practicing it back in the day and got ok with it, but never perfected the style. Can you tackle that as well?

    @taylorvolleberg 2 года назад +1

    the first album is one of my most favorites they ever made. with that being said, Time to Surrender was such a killer song through and through. The harmony between Kips voice and Rebs guitar at the end of the song is masterful.

    Awesome playing as always Leon. Huge Winger and Reb fan. I was blown away as a kid when I first saw that video to Madalaine and I was hooked. I've never seen anyone replicate Reb's sound when he does what I refer to as "liquid tapping". Was hoping to see you play the intro to Baptized by Fire. I can already see you gearing up to do a Ratt and DeMartini top 5 video!

  • @ronnieparfait

    Met Reb Beach and had a drink with him. It was after watching one of his clinics. I have video of the whole clinic. Part of it is on my you tube channel. What a great guy he was. The funny part of our talk was... Reb: "Are we going to talk music at all?" .... Me: "Umm sure if you want to" ... Reb: "One minute" and pulls out a Three Muskateers bar and puts it on the bar ... "Okay we're good now" ... I Look, laugh and he says "They sponser me" .... lmao.... just a cool guy

    One of my warm ups is Heading for a Heartbreak. I also use it for delay and tone setup as well as string intonation and neck action. I am with you, Winger was the greatest! Also the crazy temponess (is that a word) of "Can't Get Enuff". Right at 1:42 it' messes with your brain. The syncopation of the vocals and the drums.

  • @leedemkiw6085
    @leedemkiw6085 4 года назад

    Reb Beach in my opinion is right up there with the very best in the world. He + Rowan Robertson from Dio were the reason I chose to start having lessons when I started out. I also remember an article in guitar world back in the late eighties where the Mag chose four key players from the eighties that would be be of great importance in the nineties.
    Reb was one of the four, the other three being Nuno Bettencourt, Alex Skolnick & Vernon Reid.
    I'm so glad he picked himself up after the grunge movement came and went. The guitar world wouldn't be the same without guys like him.

  • @akasgsvirgil9503
    @akasgsvirgil9503 3 года назад

    Reb Beach is without a doubt one of the most underrated guitar players in rock. Period. He's got the all the tools.....metal, rock, blues, jazz, progressive, EVH-style finger tapping, the two note chord magic made awesome by George Lynch and Ty Tabor. The man is a beast. Put him in band with other heavy weight musicians like Kip Winger and Rod Morgenstein and something akin to pure magic will be the result. Its too bad Winger came out when they did and were labeled a "glam band". They're anything but a glam band. They're real music is "progressive, jazz fused blues funk with cajun spice, creole seasoning laid over slow roasted BBQ on a bed of ghost peppers."
