Reb Beach solo improvisation @ Suhr Tone Merchants NAMM 2008

[justfine77777]

I love Reb, but that is awful tone.

[tascouts120]

Sooo shit

[fleafarteasy]

He makes Jeff Healy faces!

[mivec25]

yeah i know he took inspiration from steinberger, But when did he first have a model with suhr? I thought he was still working for fender in the 80s.

[mivec25]

i like suhrs but seriously can anything come close to his ibanez signature?

[lacis]

@mivec25 You know that the Ibanez signature was based on his original koa Pensa Suhr and the Steinberger M Series, right?

[gianluigixxxx]

is this 1987?? please...

[TheDriveMaster]

Is THE MAN! Rulles!!!!!!

[cavlovc1]

get yer pull!!

[sanfred]

I remember reading an interview with Beach (late 80s) where he said that his brother would get very annoyed with him for all the ugly faces he'd make when he played guitar...

[toyoubecritic1]

Beast!!!

[cryptblood1986]

reb looks like he has down syndrome at 2:22-2:24 lol

[thelogicmusic]

ha ha ha ha ha ha ha. had to watch it just to see... ha ha ha ha ha

[lonestar225]

Cool stuff

[Liam1594]

what is he doing 1.22-1.45???

[arbshredder]

creating harmonics by slapping the string with his left hand ring finger.

[SinistrChevy]

pullin the harmonics

[05rsx]

Nice playing and tone, sounds dam loud too ! lol ouch

[skippyriddle]

He doesn't have a perm anymore.

[planck23]

I will take Chris Broderick over all those other amazing players mentioned. Hes a complete master. His classical playing is amazing!!

[superjet113]

Reb is the man!

[rmsolympic1]

I knew of him but, until now, I never knew what a guitar master he is...very impressive.

[iojim15]

great reb beach.hey how does he do that trick with the hand?

[michaels2boys]

When he's ascending up the neck he plays 3 notes with his left ( never uses his pinky) and then taps with his right middle finger. Then he plucks the first note on the next string with his ring finger like a pick and continues up the neck.

[jimpy419]

I didn't know david gilmour insemenated lars ulrich!

[bigbrokin]

That was awesome! Funny there are so many critics but no one knows who you are....

[sbrave]

May as well cut that left pinky off...hahahahaha

[jimpy419]

too funny dude!!

[thenamelewwastaken]

lol Reb is stuck in the 80's

[frenchy5150]

what?maybe because the 80',90' were the richest rock guitar era,you can't beat it!VAN HALEN,GEORGE LYNCH,Y MALMSTEEN,REB BEACH,JASON BECKER AND ON AND ON...I'M SURE THAT DIMEBAG WOULD AGREE AS WELL IF HE WAS ALIVE FULL STOP!

[thenamelewwastaken]

I'll take your EVH,Lynch,Malmsteen and Beach and raise you a Henderson,Landau,Howe,Govan,Ek­lundh,Thal.

[Supermonkey22]

I'll see your raise...and, uh oh, I just caught a Nuno Bettencourt on the river.....I'm all in!!!

[thenamelewwastaken]

haha ;P

[michaels2boys]

I'll take Al Dimeola, Shawn Lane, Allan Holdsworth, John McLaughlin, Michael Schenker, Uli Roth... oh fuck it, I win!!!Lol! Oh by the way Scott Henderson and Greh Howe came out of the 80's so you kind....

[thenamelewwastaken]

They started there career in the 80's yea as did Landau but they didnt really get any big exposure until recently. You are joking putting Schenker and Roths name along side all those?

[michaels2boys]

Roth can stand with anyone and Michael may be limited to the rock genre but his tone and vibrato are second to none and there is no doubt he can play.

[jem777lng]

no lukather, schon, or gary moore (the rocker not the damn bluesman)

[michaels2boys]

What context are you refering to Luke, Schon, Gary Moore. Those 3 guys have that million dollar vibrato.

[jem777lng]

well you listed some great guys some of which are my favorties so i thought i'd throw in some honorable mentions

[michaels2boys]

I agree with you, those guys phrase so cool and really sing on guitar. Great, great vibrato!

[Ishimwe]

Dumbass....he play awesome guitar, go and watch Whitesnake and no Tokio Hotel

[michaels2boys]

As opposed to the 90's when no one could play anything beyond an index finger bar chord or when they said 'We don't play solos" because they could'nt!!!! The 80's may have had it's flaws but it also produced some kick ass players, which is more than I can say for the last 15 years. Now everyone tunes down so far that rythm guitar is nothing more than a percussive effect.

[StubfingeredDave]

Well, I don't, I can assure you.

[RebRocks911]

mate ur spot on, thats exactly right. the only flaw with the 80s was he sound quality.

[jplate8]

google Chuck Schuldiner before I kill you.

[ducky811]

I've always loved his Suhr guitars. I read he has this one and Suhr made him a duplicate to use as a backup. Sounds killer!!!!!!!

[Xecutioner661]

Omfg.. he makes the funniest fkn faces when he plays guitar.. lol

[racecar06]

Knock Knock

Who's there?

Wurlitzer

Wurlitzer who?

Wurlitzer 1 for the money 2 for the show.....

[daijazz]

i am blown away , he fucking rips

would love one of those guitars ...

[aleezajoy]

better then goerge lynch atleast

[craprapx2001]

better than current george I agree... but george's place in guitar history is secure from his badassness in dokken and early lynch mob

[Atomikpunk]

Jesus christ this guy fuckin WAILS!!!! One of my all time fav Guitarists, cant wait to see him with Winger on Feb 15th here in Toronto!

[theguitfiddle]

Awesome concert, and great playing by Mr. Beach I was lucky enough to witness this live! Hey lacis are you the person who bought his ibanez Reb Beach model to the concert?

[northlander30]

Everyone give a bow to the tap master of our time. NO ONE taps like Reb Beach no one!

[ecarromeana]

EVH copy, just mute upper string...

[playercool1]

Vito Bratta Out Tap Reb

[drmoshie]

who gives a fuck.

[playercool1]

You obviously do you replied lmao!I can out tap and dance them all so who gives a fuck!:)

[TheTrueFortress]

Reb kicks so much ass. So many shredders in 2008...not many hot-shit players with style and class like Mr. Beach left. He's one of the few remaining "keepers" of a better time.

[aliblackmore]

looks like EMGs. He uses a 85 in the bridge and two SAs in the mid and neck positions.

[stemean]

Really good. Reb is amazing.
