Reb Beach playing Black Magic

Reb beach playing black magic and giving some info about his Ibanez Signature Guitar .
( slightly longer video then the one that's already on youtube , the video quality should be better too)

[@TMac-Attack]

Reb is one of the most underrated guitar players, his solos are epic!!

[@gregdemeterband]

Really nice and Polished/consistently impressive!

[@jamesdewer]

I think he did an interview for Guitar Player in 87 - 88 that was the last interview I read about him. Very unassuming yet gifted player. Comparison? his style is not as bluesy as Slash. Slash is way accurate but Reb has speed and his grooves are right well bluesy too but he transitions into the hammer-ons like a Patrone' margarita, double margarita. Winger was lucky to have him.

[@leometal123]

people usually focus on people like Malmsteen (which is also a very good guitarrist but less accurate shredding)

[@21Million]

In retrospect, this guy had a super unique sound, and after all these years, will now stand out from the crowd.

[@MrBones105]

Definitely unique. I think in a weird way it feels a lot more contemporary (whatever that means) compared to a lot of the shred-lords of the 80s.

[@andythurlow]

criminally underrated IMO ... this is one of my fave tunes of all time .. keep coming back to it

[@evertonmedrado7508]

I started to play guitar right after i seen this video, three years ago. I still love Reb Beach playing, he's my inspiration, he makes me feel real desire for playing guitar. Thank you Reb! You Rock!!

[@ckimsey77]

Agree on inspiration...but id been playing 4 years, just starting to get pretty good, learned some harder songs/solos, learning to improvise lead that finally didnt sound like just playing scales, could even throw in a bit of tapping...held up with most with exception of really fast stuff (which is what i wanted; 80s shread). Then i saw this...amazed yes, but also disgusted how epic and technical this was compared to me. Definition of "80s sound", and so good i knew id never reach this so i quit playing guitar for a long time lol. Surely someone that plays has had this happen once in their journey?

[@darthvader4339]

Yeah, he is a huge inspiration for me, he made me really see what you can do with tapping, he sounds so beautiful when he taps.

[@Floorman7285]

I was 13 years old in 1989. I remember first hearing his guitar work with Winger and was floored ever since and has been and still is my number one guitar hero!!

[@guitarguru.3572]

I never realized that there was a debate on whether Kirk Hammett or Reb Beach was better. But really is there any comparison? Reb is infinitely better.

[@kcb5336]

Well...it was winger that first made the comparison. It seemed much more a jealousy of Metallica’s success than about anything else. Reb is phenomenal. But Kirk certainly is good too. Kirk will certainly go down as more of an inspirational/ influential player than Reb, and rightfully so. Kirk has probably inspired more kids to pick up a guitar. And Reb has probably intimidated several to put it away.

[@guitarguru.3572]

@@kcb5336 I agree. Kirk is much more of a household name than Reb. Reb is just far more technically skilled. That style caters to more of a niche audience, though.

[@ardijonouchiX]

the “Nothing Else Matters” video metallica threw darts at a winger poster. that first made the comparison

[@darthvader4339]

@@guitarguru.3572 True, it’s like comparing Eddie Van Halen to Jason Becker or Yngwie. When it comes to musicality and virtuosity, the latter two take the cake, but in terms of influential or popular, Van Halen takes the cake.

[@beefcake0354]

I can't believe that people still mention this "RB trashing on KH" thing on most of Reb's videos. it happened like a trillian years ago ... personally I like both. but if I had to pick one as my guitar hero, it definitely would be Reb Beach. I love how he works his right hand. just enjoyable to watch.

[@sullymon3000]

Great tune from the first "Guitars that rule the world" CD from 1992. I believe it's the first track. Lots of great tunes on that album from some great players including Yngwie Malmsteen, Nuno Bettencourt, Alex Skolnick, Richie Kotzen, Paul Gilbert, Richie Sambora, and others. Check it out if you have never heard it.

[@njldst2007]

I can't really get around the fact that Richie Sambora's name was mentioned in the same breath as the others there :/

[@jsgguitar3143]

Esse mesmo

[@njldst2007]

@Crimson Idol He's not a bad player at all, in fact he's one of the best when it comes to adding the required parts for a song. However the others mentioned are all virtuosos who transcend basic guitar levels.

[@neptunemike]

Ritchie Kotzen’s Chype Fluxx there is so technical omg

[@2mnygtrz]

I saw Reb at a guitar clinic in Dallas. There wer only about 30 of us ithere that night . Reb is a stand up guy, very cordial towars fans. My friend was the Ibanez rep at the time and was ther with us. I got my autographs and was leaving and my rep buddie said, hey why don't you stay awhile. We are going to let the others leave and hang in the back jamming and drink some Heinekins. Had a great time. Play'd with him and watched in awe. It was wayyyy kool. Rebs so underrated.

[@whip689]

I grew up listening to great guitarists and all genres. Regarding the Beach and Hammett debate I share this. Two different styles based on their band. Kirk is a position player and restrained in his early days to fit the Metallica mold, but listen to solos from "One" and "Unforgiven" when he was allowed some freedom and it still gives me chills. A great player! As for Reb Beach, he is tasty in his playing and had a lot of creative freedom early in his playing, but his soloing was not as remember able as Kirks. I found that since Reb wrote both rhythm and lead that his rhythm playing was catchy and way better than his soloing IMHO. Again, an all around great player as well. Kirk has been boxed in, but he could shred back in the day. Keep in mind that EVH was not an instrumental soloist like Satch, Vai or Yngwie but he is Mr. Riff Extraordinare. Great players, all different styles and band concepts. Rock on!

[@ronrocker7131]

@Crimson Idol I think Kirk, just like Lars, got complacent with his level of playing, and lost his conviction to evolve further technically. It's not surprising, given the success they achieved by the early 90's. To be fair to Kirk, he actually had pretty decent chops(except for vibrato) and some pretty solos up until The Black Album. He just... kinda lost it all. Same, as Lars.

[@travisisaacs1936]

Anyone that thinks Kirk is a better soloist than Reb has lost their mind.

[@whip689]

Name a Reb Beach Solo better than anything Kirk did on the Black album back to his days with Exodus? I'll wait.... I love Reb, but he's never had a solo better than "One" or as well known. He's always been a back up guitarist for the most part and he even admits it in interviews. Still a very good guitarist with different tone and control, but he's a better rhythm player with catchy hooks than a soloist or pure lead guitarist.

[@travisisaacs1936]

Chad Owen well Hungry and Headed for a Heartbreak are better without putting much thought into it. Many others like Rainbow in the Rose and Madeleine are probably better as well.
