💯!!! I absolutely love that solo. Rainbow In The Rose is another master piece in my opinion. PULL is one of my favorite Winger albums, even their current album is great.
MacAlpine is pretty amazing with Nili Brosh as well as Vinny Moore with UFO Racer X has other releases besides the first 3 . Then you have Gary Schutt's 20 or so albums
Reb is a legend . Some of the most memorable and melodic solos ever . Perfect amount of feel and shred in my opinion. He was such a unique player , his tapping is truly something special. So fluid , almost has a waterfall type sound . Great player
The solo that Reb and John Roth play on the Winger IV track 'On A Day Like Today' is one of the tastiest, emotion filled solos I've ever heard. Both those guys can really shred, but choose to not come out with all guns blazing, and instead play with passion and feel. Beautiful.
Reb's the king! My favourite guitar player of all time! The majority of people, even inside the mucial community, are simply unaware of his immence talent. I suppose it doesn't hurt that I love Winger. Every album they've put out is a classic right up to their latest "SEVEN". His Sambora impersination is hillarious!
“They can’t write a song”… spot on! It’s hard for me to think of modern musicians who wrote something that truly touched my soul in the last 15-20 years. When you listen to some of Steve Lukather’s recent interviews, he is saying the same thing.
I met Reb in Atlanta at Attinas Music for a Guitar Clinic. My best friend had got me the ticket for my birthday. While he and my 1 year old daughter sat in the car. When it was over, we got to chat and i told him i had to split cause my buddy and daughter where out there. He said man go get em. He held my daughter and talked to us for quite a while. Coolest Birthday by far. And sitting during that Clinic was just killer. He answered everyone's questions and Rocked the F out. FoSho
I didn't discover Winger and Reb Beach until the 2000's. But he has managed to become one of my favorite guitar players. And when I read that he did much of the guitar work on Twisted Sister's 'Love is for Suckers' album, I understood why the guitar solos on that LP sounded so different than on the earlier stuff. He can shred when needed, but he's also got a good sense for melodies.
I had that magazine…. Reb and Nuno were talking about riffs and Richie would play the riff and they were freaking out because no one really know who he was yet. 🤘🏼
@@MastersofShred It's funny... I'd always say I'd rather hear a great song with an average lead, than an average song with a great lead.... If you've got BOTH though, EVEN BETTER! ❤️ 🔥🤘 I WANT IN.
Met this guy a few times as he's from my home town(way more so than the posers from poison will ever be) but as for Mr Beach I think this and every interview I've seen of his captures his real life vibe perfectly:an extremely talented musician who will be so humble to the point that he will never see himself for the true axman he is but rather the biggest fan of all his heroes who somehow got lucky and gets to play on stage like them. Buy in my humble opinion reb is way more than that and in truth the man is a steel city legend ❤🎉
Richie Sambora plays much better spot on Solos, Selektion of notes, beautiful melodies , and richies solos are iconic and made history and are on everybodys mind . Thats it ! Like Reb a lot , he s a killer Guitarist . But Richie Sambora is a living Legend a Rock Superstar ! 🫡✌️🤟
Such a great solo! Reb recently brought that solo up to me and how I called referred to it as “Shred”. I said “Hell Yeah Brother, that solo is FREAKING INCREDIBLE!’ He then cracked a little smile and humbly said “Well, Thank You” 😜👍🎸 #legend
Back in the late 80s early 90s, I got out a lot and saw so many different hair bands, and Winger really shocked me hard. I saw them at the Santa Monica Civic Center with Warrant and some other unknown band called the Zeros, with purple hair. Winger was probably one of the best hard Rock bands I've ever seen. They had perfect technical skills.
Used to do that number in '88. Beautiful solo, and song! I remember Reb saying something about learning the solo to "One of These Nights" if you want to know if you can play guitar.
Reb is too humble, he thinks he is not a shredder like Paul, Ritchie Kotzena and the King Yngwie Malmsteen.😂 But he can also play fast tapping or legato so He's a shredder too in my books.🔥
Reb Beach Sands of Time outro solo is probably his greatest work, it is absolute perfection, combining technique and soul. If you haven't heard it, put your headphones on and sink into it It is absolutely epic.
“Rainbow in the rose” rides the fence of pop song vs. every time you hear it you hear something different…and yes heartbreak (what this video references) is quite intriguing as well.
I’ll never forget the first time I heard “Rainbow in the Rose”, not only are Rebs solo’s in that song absolutely SHREDNIFICENT but his back ground vocals during the chorus are a knock out too! 🙌🎸🔥
As a kid, I watched Reb do a guitar clinic in my boring little Canadian town just outside Toronto. Winger was touring Heart of the Young and Reb still had that perm. He was really cool and inspiring. Winger was getting unfairly slammed by other rock bands and a certain cartoon at the time, but nobody could say Reb wasn't the real deal. I also remember him taking a little heat for his Hendrix "tune your guitar" quip in GW. That seems like a lifetime ago. P.S. He looks great! 🤘
Reb should visit the Wytch Hazel discography. The songs are absolutely phenomenal, great writing, playing, vocals. Their sophomore album is the only gripe I have of their four albums, but it does contain one of their best songs (See My Demons).
Reb needs to go get that blue Kramer back and do the curly hair thing again. Iconic 80’s sound and look. Reb Beach, Mr. Humble. Keep on rocking good sir.
Best thing I've heard in a while: when are we going to hear the next Van Halen? Not The Beatles, not the Stones, not Led Zepplin...Van Halen. Amen Reb.😊
Exactly, guitar heroes need the songs. Dan Reed Network had the songs but were ignored and when bon Jovi faded there was nobody to take their place at the top of the rock tree and the rappers said thank you very much we'll take over now.
@1:10 i feel tha same, but with that in mind ...IMO...the new badass player now a days is that guy Tramaine ... he woulda been a big new name player back in the day ... hes like Satriani 2.0 on steroids
The one dream guitar I have always wanted was the seventeen kramer. Not srvs #1. Not vais flo. That Kramer is the one I must have. No one knows where it it is though.
Reb most definitely is in the same echelon as lynch. He has been in dokken,whitesnake, winger and Alice. Only the best get those gigs. Wonderful rock guitarist and his rhythm work is just as interesting as his lead work....
The Van Halens, George Lynch, Jake E Lee etc days are over. I started playing hair guitar in 1985. I was 15. I'm broken hearted at the loss of real music.
Most good song writers struggle playing other people's music so they develop a unique way of playing and writing because they're not trained and come from the if it sounds good it is good school of thought!
Reb does his thing and its cheating lol That just happens to make him instantly identifyable when listening to him. One of the best and alongside the legends. An inspiration to me and millions of guitarists around the world.
I could see that! Also outside of being phenomenal musicians they had a great look and I think that actually got them a lot of undeserved hate and jealousy towards their direction. Just our two cents 😬👍🎸
He's spot on the new players might be super technical but the music isn't that great to listen to, most the 80's shredders were in bands that wrote great songs.
Reb is a monster shredder and a funny awesome human being , if he wants to hear a young band who write great songs and rock tell him to check out a band called Jayler from the UK specifically the songs 'No Woman' and 'Take Me Home'
The internet was great but also ruined chances for future fame for many. There was just no way to make money off music that was constantly being ripped.
True! Honestly the death of MTV & and the radio plus the invent of Napster spelt the complete collapse of the music industry as we know it. Top charting artists of today usually have a massive corporation/label behind them that’s responsible for all the songs and so forth. Milli Vanilli has become the formula to success for these labels. Flash in the pan mentality 🤦♂️🎸
It's unfortunate that he had to live off from selling guitars. With the short success of Winger he should at least earned some nice amount of cash. This kind of story always reminds me of Steve Vai story of how he saved so much money because he actually owns his music, after an advice from Frank Zappa about publishing. Vai also said musicians are terrified of numbers. He said it on Beato channel and also on a series of podcasts.
I get so disturbed when I hear people say "Winger sucks" they might not care for the music but the members are all extremely talented musicians and they hardly suck. Rod Morganstien, their drummer. Anyone not familiar with him needs to listen to the Dixie Dregs/ Dregs and then re assess their opinion. On top of being one of the finest drummers on the planet he's been a drum professor at Berklee for 20 years. They're all great musicians. I believe Reb is a Berklee grad also and can hold his own with any of the greats. But yeah...... Winger hardly sucks!
Reb is not a Berkley grad and i think its Kip dancing around in tights that puts people off Winger. Its not a great fit for the sound. Its undeniable how many marketable songs Winger wrote, and how much radio play they got and rightly deserved, but i think they were about 10 years too late. Had they come out in the Bon Jovi era they would have been much bigger....poor timing in the way that ANY of these bands are not capable of writing songs that would get radio play today. if they could they would.
@@Willjrockstar apologies on the "Berklee grad" inclusion in my comment about Reb. There's no mention of him graduating but he absolutely went to Berklee, this is a paragraph from his bio. After graduating from Fox Chapel Area High School and attending Berklee College of Music in the early 1980s, he played in Fiona's backing band and became an accomplished studio musician, working with the likes of Howard Jones, Chaka Khan, The Bee Gees, Twisted Sister, and Roger Daltrey, among others, showcasing Beach's ability to adapt to various musical styles.
@@aschule5684 Hmmm, i stand corrected. In past conversations with him, and friends i dont think ive ever heard this mentioned. Im from the same area, and speak with people he knows on a daily basis, but i did not know that. Amazing.
Some of my friends think I am a shredd'r . Just because I can make my fingers move fast , What they don't know . Is that I don't have a clue .And hitting thousand of notes per second and only two notes of the thousand sound good !!
My band opened for Winger like 12 or 13 years ago. We were just the dopey local support and they treated us like old industry colleagues. First-rate dudes.
@@MastersofShred A former bandmate joined Winger on Pull tour. He still plays with them and told me the story about Reb having to sell his guitars and house and stuff so this video hit different.
@@nigel7880 WOW! Yeah I could only imagine what a “brain f**k” that experience must have been for Reb. To see yourself all over MTV and your face on guitar magazines but no real money coming in. I’m not sure if the blame would fall more on Mike Judge or their bad record contract🤔 Still a sad set of circumstances regardless
One thing that really needs to change in youtube videos is the 5 second or so snippet at the beginning of the video that is then repeated a couple minutes in. Especially on a 6 minute video, theres no need for it. Cool interivew with Reb, I'm not entirely familiar with his work, just know he's from the hayday of hair metal and was sometimes featured alongside other shredders in guitarworld magazines. As for harder today for musicians, definitely, but not just due to publicity, the biggest hurdle is writing/recording something that isnt derivative of something else, you have to do 100x more research on whether what you made has been done before, and to what extent, as theres so much more material already out there now more than ever. You then also have to make said material polished up to a science engineer's quality, which alot of kids are pumping out modern studio quality metal stuff from their bedrooms, except it all sounds the same especially that djent core stuff. And then also you have to compete with way more artists than back in the 80's. In the 80's bands competed somewhat locally to secure gigs and get their stuff out there for people to hear, and then even on the "global stage" it was alot smaller in terms of competition across all genres of music. Now theres 100000x the amount of artists in any given genre, heck theres 100x more subcategories of music now, and pop/edm/r&b/rap has more artists than theres ever been, pumping out the same derivative crap they always have been which the masses seem to gobble up, probably because global IQ's have lowered drastically in the past few decades. Sorry to be a downer, but its really rough out there now, guitar is more of a historical personal hobby past time for people now, the only real playing live for most players is in a classic rock cover band type situation, and at that, its softer classics, not hair metal, a town or city only ever really has room for 1 hairmetal tribute type act at a time, and at that they only play a show every few months or less. Theres then the "metal" scene which is pretty difficult to find other musicians with common interests, and the playing threshold is so high you usually need both a university degree and 20 years of playing cannibal corpse riffs with 300bpm downpicking like some sort of meth addict too. Its really crazy where musics gone, the last holdout might just be the blues scene but even then its pretty pretentious, full of affluent dudes with retirement savings guitars who never had a hard day in their lives, singing about things they never went through.
Reb hit it 100% spot-on...today's scene is FULL of technically great guitarists...yet the melodic , catchy or emotional SONGS are sorely LACKING !!! I just don't think the late 70's thru early 90's music will EVER even be rivaled...let alone surpassed !!

Reb's solo on Headed for a Heartbreak is one of the greatest solos ever written and performed. The solo is pure soul.
We 💯 agree with you! Well said 👏🙌🎸
I often think it stands up to the greatest of all time.
💯!!! I absolutely love that solo. Rainbow In The Rose is another master piece in my opinion.
PULL is one of my favorite Winger albums, even their current album is great.
MacAlpine is pretty amazing with Nili Brosh as well as Vinny Moore with UFO
Racer X has other releases besides the first 3 .
Then you have Gary Schutt's 20 or so albums
Rebs solo on Too High To Fly is one of the greatest guitar moments in history.
Reb is one of the most underrated player in the bizz. Dude you are a phenomenal player bro. Thx for all the riffs you given us over the years….
Well said! 👏👍🎸🔥
When one of the most universally vaunted guitar players is underrated... We need more dictionaries.
Reb is a legend . Some of the most memorable and melodic solos ever . Perfect amount of feel and shred in my opinion. He was such a unique player , his tapping is truly something special. So fluid , almost has a waterfall type sound . Great player
LOVE Reb's humility! He is a fucking monster!
Reb Beach great humble player

The first Winger album, start to finish, made you sit up and notice Reb. Amazing musician and seems like a good dude, too.
reb is probably the most consistent play i know of , he always hits it out of the park ,never wastes and opportunity.
Don't sell yourself short Reb. Your two handed tapping style is the best I've seen/heard yet . You're a regular icon in the guitar world 🎸😎.

Such an awesome story! Thanks for sharing that 🙌 We’ve seen footage of Reb’s in store masterclasses and they are truly amazing 🎸👏🔥
@@MastersofShred Yeah Man. Thanks. And this was in 91 or 92. So we were both pretty young back then. Haha
Yeah bro, thanks for sharing that story! Reb is the freeking man!
I love Reb. He’s just so humble and cool.
👍
While not a Winger fan, Reb FLOORED Me with that solo. SO much feel. A fan of his since.
Yup, CRAZY feel in those solos! 10 out of 10! 🙌🎸🔥
check out his solo album.
He said it. And I’ve been saying it for years. It’s all about ‘Good Songs’. 🤘

“WITH GOOD SONGS!”
He said it, right there.
AMEN TO THAT 🙌🎸 Longevity is attached to good song writing and everyone wants longevity👍🎸
@@MastersofShred It's funny...
I'd always say I'd rather hear a great song with an average lead, than an average song with a great lead....
If you've got BOTH though, EVEN BETTER! ❤️ 🔥🤘
I WANT IN.
Something a lot of musicians miss...the actual song itself....
yup. van halen were a great band with great songs. thats why they are eternal.
Right up there with Lynch and Demartini as kings of the hair band shredders…. Totally underrated. So spot on about importance of having good songs.
Please martini impelliteri will blow these guys away
Reb's The Fusion Demos album is a must have for any guitar player.
Great Video Brother 🙏🏼🎸🎸🎸🎸Reb Rock's, Damn Nice Guy!
Thanks so much man! Happy you enjoyed it and thank you for your support 🙏🙌🎸

Saw Reb do a clinic in San Diego in 1992-ish. Great guy and player.
Reb and Richie Sambora are both good guitarists, just different skills and souls 👍🏻👍🏻
Richie Sambora plays much better spot on Solos, Selektion of notes, beautiful melodies , and richies solos are iconic and made history and are on everybodys mind . Thats it !
Like Reb a lot , he s a killer Guitarist . But Richie Sambora is a living Legend a Rock Superstar ! 🫡✌️🤟
Rob are an AMAZING guitar player ! I have seen one of there clinic guitar back in time ... around 1991-1992 at Bar Le Dauteuil in Quebec City. 👍👍
Every time I hear the name Reb Beach I think of Winger's Miles Away.

I still listen to his solos.. esp. His guitar instructional video
Great content. Legand guitarist 🎸 ✌️🤘🇦🇺
I wish I had Reb for a guitar teacher. His tapping technique is at another level.
Can’t wait to see winger on sept 13th in Murphy’s CA! 2nd row!!
“Rainbow in the rose” rides the fence of pop song vs. every time you hear it you hear something different…and yes heartbreak (what this video references) is quite intriguing as well.

That had to be an AWESOME experience! Yeah Rebs super humble and phenomenal player 🙌🎸
Reb is an amazing guitarist!!! Sound, phase and techniques…
Really good interview.
Reb Beach - "A view from the inside" really excellent album.
Reb should visit the Wytch Hazel discography. The songs are absolutely phenomenal, great writing, playing, vocals. Their sophomore album is the only gripe I have of their four albums, but it does contain one of their best songs (See My Demons).
Winger had some great songs. Reb sells himself short, he’s an awesome guitar player and songwriter.
I was one of those 80,000. The thing was strangely expensive at 18 USD. But it was worth it. Such a sick fucking album.
I know that room. Downstairs @ the Arcada Theater in St Charles IL. Lots of history just in that room.
Thanks for the video @mastersofshred !!!
Thanks so much brother! We need to catch up soon! 🎸🔥
The late 80's churned out some badass axemen: Satriani, Vai, Vito Bratta, Derek Frigo, Nuno, Vernon Reid, Andy Timmons, Zakk Wylde, and Mr. Reb Beach.
Reb needs to go get that blue Kramer back and do the curly hair thing again. Iconic 80’s sound and look. Reb Beach, Mr. Humble. Keep on rocking good sir.
Great interview I love seeing humble guitarest especially great ones it's a shame live rock is on a downfall people rather hear fake music.
Man, out of all the albums that got buried by grunge, Pull is the worst case. That album is amazing and Reb's tone is absolutely killer on it.
I couldn’t agree with you more! Pull is an overlooked masterpiece! The musicianship and song writing is just thru the roof!🙌🎸🔥
@@MastersofShred Not wrong when you're right!
Black magic was a song my brother and i used to listen to over and over

Exactly, guitar heroes need the songs. Dan Reed Network had the songs but were ignored and when bon Jovi faded there was nobody to take their place at the top of the rock tree and the rappers said thank you very much we'll take over now.
Winger songs were badass !!
They really are! I feel like they never really got the credit they should have. INCREDIBLY talented musicians 👍🎸
@1:10 i feel tha same, but with that in mind ...IMO...the new badass player now a days is that guy Tramaine ... he woulda been a big new name player back in the day ... hes like Satriani 2.0 on steroids
The one dream guitar I have always wanted was the seventeen kramer.
Not srvs #1. Not vais flo. That Kramer is the one I must have. No one knows where it it is though.
I'm with Reb. It's about the song.
He's transforming into Kid Rock
His tone was memorable
2:34 ..was that the white 7 strings Ibanez?
New band with great songs, unbelievable vocalist and a shit hot guitar player? NESTOR!
OMG, YES!! 🙌 We discovered Nestor on the 2022 Monsters of Rock Cruise and our minds were blown! PHENOMENAL band! 🙌🎸🔥

👈✌️ best times ever , 80s
Can’t argue with that 🙌👍🎸🔥
WITH GOOD SONGS!!!!
Reb Is BAD ASS
The Van Halens, George Lynch, Jake E Lee etc days are over. I started playing hair guitar in 1985. I was 15. I'm broken hearted at the loss of real music.
Most good song writers struggle playing other people's music so they develop a unique way of playing and writing because they're not trained and come from the if it sounds good it is good school of thought!
HE'S RIGHT!! LOL!! LONGEST SOLO'S !! BADASS MUSICIANS!!
My top 5 guitarists:
Eddie
Page
DiMartini
Jake E Lee
Sykes
That’s a killer list right there! 👍🎸🎸
What he said was right about song writing
Reb does his thing and its cheating lol That just happens to make him instantly identifyable when listening to him. One of the best and alongside the legends. An inspiration to me and millions of guitarists around the world.
Well said! 👏 Reb is a legend 🙌🎸
Why you need to debauch at Sambora ? to seems better than richie , you both guys are great !!
There was nobody after Randy and Eddie that could write songs like they did .
After them , there was just shredders .
Reb’s an amazing player…I think he got lost in the shuffle because Winger wasn’t considered “heavy”
I could see that! Also outside of being phenomenal musicians they had a great look and I think that actually got them a lot of undeserved hate and jealousy towards their direction. Just our two cents 😬👍🎸
Truth bomb around 1:20
Check out Japan for rock and metal. Incredinle groups there. They are the new rock scene
He's spot on the new players might be super technical but the music isn't that great to listen to, most the 80's shredders were in bands that wrote great songs.
I respect the speed and skill, but I can't listen for more than 15 seconds. As the great Keith Richard's once said: "there's no syncopation".
Reb is a monster shredder and a funny awesome human being , if he wants to hear a young band who write great songs and rock tell him to check out a band called Jayler from the UK specifically the songs 'No Woman' and 'Take Me Home'
That kind of crap is exactly what hes NOT talking about. Another wanna be Zepplin isnt going to be the "next" anything.

@@aschule5684 Hmmm, i stand corrected. In past conversations with him, and friends i dont think ive ever heard this mentioned. Im from the same area, and speak with people he knows on a daily basis, but i did not know that. Amazing.
Some of my friends think I am a shredd'r . Just because I can make my fingers move fast , What they don't know . Is that I don't have a clue .And hitting thousand of notes per second and only two notes of the thousand sound good !!
I always, always, always, always thought you guys were "way" better than VH😳#Wingergotscrewed
You know reb doesnt read these comments and that this is a clip from a four yr old video right?
@@knightfall9394 nope did not ....mindless YT algo sugestions
@@knightfall9394 what an unnecessary "dick" comment
My band opened for Winger like 12 or 13 years ago. We were just the dopey local support and they treated us like old industry colleagues. First-rate dudes.
Mike Judge ruined their name with Stuart.
So true so sad 😔🎸🎸
@@MastersofShred A former bandmate joined Winger on Pull tour. He still plays with them and told me the story about Reb having to sell his guitars and house and stuff so this video hit different.
@@nigel7880 WOW! Yeah I could only imagine what a “brain f**k” that experience must have been for Reb. To see yourself all over MTV and your face on guitar magazines but no real money coming in. I’m not sure if the blame would fall more on Mike Judge or their bad record contract🤔 Still a sad set of circumstances regardless
Guitar HEROES .
Well if the industry would let in normal humans in the industry instead of their club?
One thing that really needs to change in youtube videos is the 5 second or so snippet at the beginning of the video that is then repeated a couple minutes in. Especially on a 6 minute video, theres no need for it.
Cool interivew with Reb, I'm not entirely familiar with his work, just know he's from the hayday of hair metal and was sometimes featured alongside other shredders in guitarworld magazines. As for harder today for musicians, definitely, but not just due to publicity, the biggest hurdle is writing/recording something that isnt derivative of something else, you have to do 100x more research on whether what you made has been done before, and to what extent, as theres so much more material already out there now more than ever. You then also have to make said material polished up to a science engineer's quality, which alot of kids are pumping out modern studio quality metal stuff from their bedrooms, except it all sounds the same especially that djent core stuff. And then also you have to compete with way more artists than back in the 80's. In the 80's bands competed somewhat locally to secure gigs and get their stuff out there for people to hear, and then even on the "global stage" it was alot smaller in terms of competition across all genres of music. Now theres 100000x the amount of artists in any given genre, heck theres 100x more subcategories of music now, and pop/edm/r&b/rap has more artists than theres ever been, pumping out the same derivative crap they always have been which the masses seem to gobble up, probably because global IQ's have lowered drastically in the past few decades.
Sorry to be a downer, but its really rough out there now, guitar is more of a historical personal hobby past time for people now, the only real playing live for most players is in a classic rock cover band type situation, and at that, its softer classics, not hair metal, a town or city only ever really has room for 1 hairmetal tribute type act at a time, and at that they only play a show every few months or less. Theres then the "metal" scene which is pretty difficult to find other musicians with common interests, and the playing threshold is so high you usually need both a university degree and 20 years of playing cannibal corpse riffs with 300bpm downpicking like some sort of meth addict too. Its really crazy where musics gone, the last holdout might just be the blues scene but even then its pretty pretentious, full of affluent dudes with retirement savings guitars who never had a hard day in their lives, singing about things they never went through.
If reb knew where the Kramer is he would have it back
But you can combine shredding with feel and soul like George Lynch for example.
Alexi L. was the last guitar hero.
Reb hit it 100% spot-on...today's scene is FULL of technically great guitarists...yet the melodic , catchy or emotional SONGS are sorely LACKING !!! I just don't think the late 70's thru early 90's music will EVER even be rivaled...let alone surpassed !!
