    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.

      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.

    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 ✌🏼

      Agreed. And not just the tapping, which is so distinctive. He's right up there with the greats Steve Vai and Satriani, guys who took the time to master the craft.

    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
      @greatguitaristoftherockera2833  7 месяцев назад

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

    I've met him a few times here in Fort Wayne, IN at Sweetwater. He's a real neat guy. Someone you can easily have a conversation with just as if he were a friend. He signed my one of one Masterson quilt top guitar amp for me when he was doing a live session in the cafeteria area at Sweetwater with the band winger. Much respect. I have 67 signatures right now multiple musicians. I'm going to donate it to the Fort Wayne Historical Museum at some point. I'm also writing a book about the musicians who signed it, how I got the signatures, if it was at a concert what the show was like,, the weather, the crowd etc. when I think I have enough chapters or run out of room for signatures , I'll stop and sell the book on Amazon and donate the amp. After I record with it a few times that is. 👍💯😎 Reb is a class act for sure. Oh which brings me to Yngwie who wouldn't sign it. But I actually thank him for that because that made me realize I should include those who wouldn't sign it as well. I was about ten feet from him and only three people there and he refused to sign it and acted as if I didn't even exist. Yngwie Malmsteen that is. Not such a class act
    But I'm not mad I'm not bitter he's a great player. But I can remember Reb's music much easier than Yngwie so there's that.

    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.

    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...

      Strange that Judge didn't knock Motley Crue (or did he), in regards to the questionable reputation of that group.
      It's also strange that Judge would knock on a group with a progressive rock background (Winger) instead of on a band that had to rely on outside people to play their instruments (Warrant).

    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.
