REB BEACH - GEAR SPOTLIGHT™

[@joker57]

One time when I was 16 I went to a Reb beach clinic. I talked him into selling me his personal Ibanez jem 77 BFP that Steve vai just sent him the week before. He sold it to me right there on the spot,and thought me how to tap in 5 min. Remember that , when you think of Reb Beach. Dude is a humble legend, and yes I still have the Guitar. 32 years now

[@jimjim7008]

I bet Reb has the soft spot for his early 80s red Kramer guitar that he recorded with and filmed with Winger back in the 80s. I admire Reb's humbleness.

[@ryant3600]

Saw an interview w/ him recently and he was asked if he could get one guitar back from his past, which would it be. He said it was his blue Kramer. He had said in that interview that when Winger went from selling millions of albums to selling less than 100 thousand w/ Pull, he went broke and lived off selling his guitar till the Alice Cooper gig came up.. He also said he had to borrow 500 from Alice for the plane ticket to get out there to LA for rehearsals..

[@heshion1]

Reb's one of the best rock guitarists ever. Very under-rated. One of my all time favorite players.

[@carlkrebs1]

heshion1 ....I'll vote for it , hell yeah .

[@screamndemon6094]

So is Steve vai michal Angelo Nuno betencourt and the guitar player who’s name I forgot on a lost album from shotgun gun messiah

[@screamndemon6094]

Crimson Idol really?

[@denisehedden13]

He's a powerful man on lead guitar

[@armandomorenotherevival7827]

Mitchell Cooper Harry Cody from SM

[@kevinsturges6957]

What an amazingly good player. He’s one of the best and should be recognized more.

[@pattijohnson1418]

Amen!

[@brettburow2367]

Criminally underrated. Love Reb.

[@eaglechildkeys]

Reb Beach is one of the most humble and talented persons in the music scene. Very nice guy :-)

[@deep6dlh]

I’ve been a Reb Beach fan from the gate. He is so innovative and such a nice, down to earth guy, always willing to comment on anything that could help the next person. Fantastic musician.

[@tho-mas83]

Love this Guitar Player...he's really one of the very finest musicien in this world! Wow...this purple suhr strat is amazing!!

[@pattijohnson1418]

Touche!

[@drinkspecials]

I like Rebs down to Earth straight talkin. So everyone can understand what he is saying. I respect gin so much that when I ran into him at NSTUFF MUSIC I didnt even say hi. (I regret that now) Lol. Didnt want to be a fan boy. But I'm at your shows Reb!

[@Thompsongs]

It's always more enjoyable when you're watching a rig rundown and you can tell the musician is a cool, down-to-earth person. I really get that sense about Reb.

[@pattijohnson1418]

You hit the nail on the head Reb Beach is cooler than a fan and the most down-to-earth person I have ever met that is also a giant Rockstar!!!

[@scomadd9257]

Reb is the man. He is the epitome of what a great hard rock guitarist is.

[@pattijohnson1418]

My GUITAR GOD !

[@mikecarmean6446]

Reb... You Are an Amazing Talent... One of My Favorite Guitarist 💥💥 🎸💥💥

[@jbag3408]

I barely know this guy's material but his inflections on words tells me he's an awesome dude.

[@Peterplayingguitar]

Reb Beach = my favourite guitarist

[@LeeHoMusic]

Reb Beach is the legend!!!!!! love his playing!!!! Suhr guitars sound awesome, there is nothing like it!!! SUHR people- Thanks for greatest guitars in the world!!!

[@stiffmeister0hYeah]

Purple painted looks awesome but that natural wood signature one is the best.

[@henryocq]

Very humble and nice person he was 🤘🏼

[@leslawrenson9305]

I've just learned to play the main riff for Time To Surrender" which has to be coolest riff ever played.

[@ricardocanales4862]

Bring Back the VOYAGER!!!

[@alejandrocisneros7442]

Unfortunately those guitars got sold when he couldn't afford his rent I've heard. It would be nice if the fans would sell him one.

[@bernhardtsen74]

@@alejandrocisneros7442 the shape is one of the hottest ever!saw one about 6-7 years ago on sale for about 500 dollars here in Denmark!I wish I had the money back then!it was the blue one!

[@taproom113]

Love the Voyager! Sick looking and sounding. Shopping for one now ... ^v^

[@michaelmaier7262]

So glad to catch Winger live last year. What an amazing band.

[@ckelley63]

Reb knows what he's doing he's. a fantastic player !

[@DedByMonday]

Reb Beach top 10 guitar virtuoso of the metal genre... without a doubt!

[@pattijohnson1418]

Absolutely!

[@sebrura]

Every guitar player video I watch, everyone says he’s underrated 🤣

[@justinelliott7136]

Superb! been wanting to see Reb's gear in its latest form for while. Thanks very much :) I'd love to see a lower wattage smaller OD/PT 100 similar to the Mesa V 25 and with Suhr's reactive load built in for recording. hint hint :)

[@Jaidezilla]

He must live a seriously clean lifestyle. The guy's been in rock and metal for the last 30 years and still looks like he's in his twenties.

[@doglovemimijumable]

Reb is the shredder that also write killer riffs, crazy talent!

[@geoffws6]

I believe the color is a Ford color called “Mystic”. They used to apply it to the Mustang Cobras of around 1996 or so. Maybe a one-year only color, I think. Looks great on a electric guitar!

[@oldglamrocker]

Wow, I'm shocked that Reb has put his Koa with EMG's into backup status and is rocking the Classic with the SSV & V70's as his main guitar.

[@alejandrocisneros7442]

He's the only guy that makes those damn things bearable. That being said EMG are too sterile.

[@peevee605]

It was only temporary. Saw Reb the other night. He had the black Suhr, the Prism with EMG's, the white one with EMG's, the flame top with the pickguard from his old Sig model, also with EMG's.

[@isaacmerlino4387]

way better than hammett

[@rorycunningham5457]

Isaac Merlino What who?Dont be silly now Reb is a real guitar player.Havent you seen"Some kind of monster?"Theres the proof that"captain Kirk"cant play guitar if you havent seen the movie watch it.

[@alejandrocisneros7442]

Hammett is just a gimmick player with his fucking wah wah. Unfortunately it doesn't matter how good you are it depends on the bands that you are in. Hammett just got lucky and is still leeching the Metallica cash train lol Trujillo could double for him and the albums would be better lol.

[@howtowin.facts.7247]

That's not saying much

[@pattijohnson1418]

Oh yes yes yes and yes!

[@xavierortiz2690]

Way better

[@bootneylee9802]

LEGEND

[@BUNKERJR53]

Reb is one of the most amazing underrated "Guitar Slingers" on the planet. He gets better with age.

[@spaceavenger54]

Reb is cool as shit, but I wish he'd use some gear us mere mortals could afford, lol

[@lazlomattachine8334]

wicked guitar playing- long live Reb!

[@celestelongway7315]

Nice vid Reb! yeah saw u in Winger days with SCORPIONS at the Forum two or three times plus maybe with KISS? yeah Miles Away baby! Plus Whitesnake too ! Reb rules yeah!

[@netenemy]

More videos on Suhr artists, please. Love 'em!

[@SuhrCustom]

who's next?

[@netenemy]

+Suhr Custom, you tell me. Is there a list of Suhr Artists? How about every one of them. James Norbert Ivanyi would be cool. Very cool. How about all the other cats who demo the guitars/amps/pedals who have not yet been featured. I know Ian Thornley is a Suhr artist and featured in a lot of your videos, but I don't think he's had a spotlight video yet. A spotlight of him and the other cats in his band would be really cool. Either way, keep 'em coming! Thank you.

[@douglasblackwell2507]

He's bad ass guitar player

[@metal1mark73]

Reb Beach should of been in the top 50 of best guitarists of Rolling Stone's 250 best guitarists of all time!

[@pjbmarcos]

Absolutely amazing. Greetings from Brazil.

[@michaelkinsey570]

Not underrated at all..real guitarist know he's a monster..just doesn't act like one..you gotta respect that..

[@PlayFloyd_IN]

What a legend this man is!! Thanks Reb for inspiring me over the years and I look forward for you to kick some more ass in the coming years.

[@pattijohnson1418]

Bring it on Reb!

[@Locoandchooch]

Dork doesn’t know how good he really is.🤘🏻

[@geezberry8889]

one of the great shredders from the 80's . glad he's still doing it, not all are like vito bratta

[@robertp6391]

That Purple Car paint is Called-"Plum Crazy Purple"-Cuz it Changes Colors in different Light.

[@Locoandchooch]

When I first saw Reb Beach playing with Winger in the late 80's, I thought THEN he was to good for that band. Glad to see Suhr supporting him.

[@djh6970]

Did a horse just go by at 4.27?

[@kirsi6302]

Yksi suosikki video lempi kitarististani! Kiitos Reb 🌼

[@incarnate6779]

Saw Reb/Winger open for Deep Purple back in 1990 for their (DP's) Slaves & Masters tour and always dismissed them (Winger) as just another fluff hair-band but when I saw & heard Reb tearing up his fretboard on stage it was quite a shock. He was amazing and was doing stuff that rivaled ANY guitarist technically. I developed instant respect for him and so glad he's still out there jamming.

[@pattijohnson1418]

And so it was the same for me it was the live performance that turn my world around because of him he plays with so much emotion passion he just bares his soul to the world when he plays the face the body and just the energy he puts into it you can tell how confidant and how talented and how serious he takes his career I mean the whole nine yards is there!

[@Schnitzengruben]

But which shampoo is he using??

[@stevelow_rock]

Would love to know how the rear feedback knob is set???? Reb the Great!!!!!

[@mercedeslobo8205]

Great video Reb Beach is amazing!

[@nikolauseder]

Reb Beach is still a Blackmores Papa 👴 s PURPLE Boy..... with Whitesnake ..... he is really Great with Winger too

[@saxonsteve]

Just watched this( June 2024). Great Equipment! Thinking about buying that Suhr Shiba Overdrive Pedal.

[@lh1678]

I went to Paris France on my Honeymoon back in 2019 and my wife and I stayed with a host couple I'm a musician drummer/guitarist and I'm looking at this guitar that our host had on his wall and it had what looked like SUB on the head..and I'm thinking this must be some cheap Turkish guitar. It was a SUHR. I also have meet Reb and Rob a long time ago really nice funny guys.

[@MisterTee]

I too wear down the wood whilst fingering the knobs

[@axeaddiction796]

Very good rock player. He's had a great career and still going

[@jimmychesteen6559]

At least five grand for one of those surh guitars... They better play great!... Great player that guy! I wonder who makes the bodies and necks..???🤔

[@libsrcrazy9634]

80s hair bands rule

[@tanner_uncut]

Reb is fkking amazing

[@stratking78]

I love my CAA OD-100 SE+ ❤🤘🏻🎶🎸 KILLER TONE and versatility! Very REB-like 😉

[@brendaorr6064]

Drop ur album! Love you Reb! Need more of your videos on 🎸 guitar!

[@rebbeach6549]

Hello, how are you doing it is nice to seeing you

[@josephwalton487]

For the record I cut my P bass headstock that same exact shape and put on smaller sealed tuners and the p bass practically sits in a more upright angle. And stays there. Takes so much dumb weight off.

[@MikkjalHvannastein]

Fxxxing love your tone bro. Thx for everything you give me without you knowing you are giving to me. I know its personal. ❤️. Reb Rock!

[@yonikup2865]

*PLEASE* , does anybody know the model name of thw guitar he is holding at 1:59? That is the most beautiful guitar i have seen in years! I gotta check it out!

[@skunkproductionsMLA]

After looking at his videos from the Black Magic Days, I would seriously think the guy above is a totally different person... his voice is very different, his tone and his gear is also very different.

[@odgeUK]

Manages to talk about both Suhr heads without once mentioning Pete Thorn. Interesting.

[@AngSingha]

The greatest head in the world? hmmmm....I dunno. I still give the win to my gf.

[@Kras_Shurochka]

Brilliantly talented, funny, and still so hot in his age. Long live Reb Beach!

[@70stunes71]

Got that right . Reb's solo work . JUST WOW . Glad I checked out his equipment setup. A lot of times if you're looking for a particular sound, you find the source in how and what gear people are using. He has one of the greatest sounds in rock music and the style the back it up

[@youvsyou945]

I LOVE that finish on the purple guitar(flip flop purple/blue)!!!! Aside from the gold, it really looks like the Seventeen video guitar colors.....Always wanted that guitar back in the day. I LOVE that! John, I want one lmao! Reb's a great player and always seems like a good guy.

[@gsmeeuwsen]

Such a cool, humble dude, and GREAT player...

[@metal1mark73]

Black Swan?

[@rustiikkiruksi8763]

Subtitles: "hey, this is red feet from Whitesnake" 🤘

[@momarock4434]

Este tipo es talento puro, esta a la altura de los mas grandes! REB 🤩🤘🍺

[@youoldduffer]

whats he got on all hid trem bars? is it some kind of grip tape????

[@tylerholdsworth1519]

Suhr are the nicest guitarist's imo for play-ability! One day when I'm not broke I'll buy one !,,!

[@NinjaRunningWild]

That color is called "Trick mystic purple".

[@johnhumphries505]

Hey Reb! going to get to your juicy video.o but first I wanted to say that I met you awhile back at AIM for your teaching and YOU are an awesome fellow! showing us all partly by charity, and communicate subtle things really well. you'll always be in my good books for your altruism as well as your own talent.

[@brevink01]

Hi there! Does Reb use the shiba drive to boost the already overdriven amps? Thanks!

[@guitardude1981]

Yup. For more sustain

[@endtyme1345]

Great guy & awesome player! I don't like some of his guitars models but who cares? Reb is a great soul he deserves HEAVEN!

[@batmandeltaforce]

I insist on super thin necks too and shot scale, which is why I only play 90-95 MIJ Charvel and Jackson Fusions:)

[@luigicuccitto2113]

GOD Bless You 🎸🎸🎸

[@richardwilliams2853]

It's a classic, it's beat up and feels like it's been played "but I don't know how they do it" have a look on KZbin there's literally hundreds of videos on how to age, relic or give a warn in look or feel, or even ask suhr how they do it as they supply your guitars and amps.

[@tomcruise9815]

I’m guessing he’s paid quite a bit by Suhr.

[@rjc7289]

You guys should ask Reb if he'd be interested in a custom model that replicates his old Ibanez Voyager axes he played back in the day with that cut-out notch behind the bridge. I always identify that shape with Reb.

[@scottycunningham1413]

Good to see him in a proper band like White snake and not Winger

[@summerspinecenter]

are those floyds dive bomb only or floating?

[@crivers5662]

He is absolutely one of my favorites, but that mustache makes him look like Patrick Simmons (Doobies)

[@bobabooey4537]

I wonder what his parent have against the letter 'o'

[@ThunderFalcon333]

Reb kicks ass i wouldnt want to have to follow him lol

[@UrquidiGuitars]

320 ms always on... hmm anyone else got curious about this? how many repeats? how deep he mix? please comment if you have any ideas!

[@guitardude1981]

2 repeats

[@bofuscrapshaw]

Seems like a great guy

[@AeonOfAwareness]

Who knows the song at the start of the video?? It sounds like Stormbringer but I know that wasn't on the set list for the show at the Saban

[@rock_it9771]

Here i go again

[@notacommie5415]

I hope those are his actual amp settings. I’m going to have to try cranking that bass on my Marshall

[@itay92w]

As a guy that had the opportunity to talk to Reb, he is a very kind person and a great guitarist :)

[@denisehedden13]

🥀Gotta keep that reverb in alot of songs but your really good one of the best I've ever heard🥀🤘🎸

[@TheIgorrock]

Thx for video.) Why something wound on tremolo arm in each of his guitars?

[@josebemol23]

Reb, I am your fan lml

[@MasjuhairiMaskun]

Experience is expensive. Worth it.

[@pauloesterle9823]

Without a doubt one of the best guitar players to ever touch a guitar and one of the nicest human beings on the planet

[@5urg3x]

Interesting that he prefers the FR bridges to the Gotoh
