Im always Hungry for Hair Metal, I just Can't Get Enuff of the stuff I listened to when I was Seventeen! You do realize that when this video is over we are Headed for a Heartbreak Leon so any time you think it is Time to Surrender we will be Hanging On for you to get us out of our State of Emergency for lack of more Hair Metal!
Lillian Axe is who Ragdoll reminds me of and you can do a few of their riffs.
I'd love to see a "5 Killer Riffs" from Skid Row!
Only hard thing is narrowing it down to 5
The most underrated 80s band. And yes, Pull is pretty close to being a perfect album. My favorite from them.
Reb Bech is such an underrated guitar player.
One of the few player who in those days, didn't just stay that Van Halen style tapping.
"Cuts it Loose" by Reb Bech is a really nice instrumental.
Edit: this auto correct thing just changed Reb to Rabies.
Totally has his own unique style.
Back in the day I was a huge George Lynch fan. At some point George was out of Dokken and Reb took over. I went to a Dokken show thinking it sucks that Lynch isn't playing. I left that show with a new guitar hero. Beach is THAT good.
“Hair Metal Toto”!!! That’s literally the perfect way to summarize their style...🤘
Yeah... Totally agree...
The riff to Seventeen is deceptively difficult. I remember learning to play it and it wrecked my finger tips. Such a great riff. I always thought Reb Beach and Vito Bratta were criminally underrated - both technically and from a song writing perspective.
Lol, yes, as a thrash metal maniac in the 80s i could NEVER admit that i thought Winger was truly talented, well, the guitarist anyway, lol...phenomenal!!! Even to this day! I can now openly admit their top-notch skill!
THANK YOU!!! Winger is massively overlooked and under rated.
My favourite Winger album is "Pull", but "Headed for a Heartbreak" is probably my favourite track of theirs.
Reb Beach's outro solo in Headed for a Heartbreak is epic. I don't know for sure but it sounds like he improvised it.
THAT ALBUM Pull is simply AMAZING! And so underrated! Thanks for this Leon. Bro such great riffs from a great band.
Yeah it's a ripper hey.
Time To Surrender, whoa...never seen anyone cover that song flawlessly. Especially all of the overdubs
Winger is so underrated, one of my top ten of all time! definitely a hard rock toto.
the first album is one of my most favorites they ever made. with that being said, Time to Surrender was such a killer song through and through. The harmony between Kips voice and Rebs guitar at the end of the song is masterful.
That was awesome thanks for this. Winger were criminally underrated all killer musicians in their own right with great complexity and catchy hooks in their songwriting . A cut above so many of the other bands in the "hair metal " genre . I'll be checking out your band rag doll if your a cross between winger and kings x should be good.😀🤘🏼
Reminds me how much more I liked “In The Heart of the Young” and “Pull” when they came out, compared to the first album. I mean, I *really* liked “In The Heart of the Young” and it had more Prog and R&B elements than people gave it credit for. I think was 17 when it came out... ?
Kip Winger’s biggest sin was being good looking LOL! Even among all the guys back then with their makeup, ink and fake hair, girls seemed to go gaga over him and I think that made a lot of guys jealous. Saw them live with Cinderella and The Bullet Boys and Winger live was like men among boys. All four of those guys are ridiculously accomplished even before they were together. A “Hair Metal Toto” is a perfect description!
He still looks great for his age too!
Leon Todd
Right. I keep getting older and he doesn’t... 🤣
As for that subject,Nuno Betencourt is definetely champion in that regard-he looks more or less identical to when he was 25.What he's been drinkin' is beyond me.
Loved that you featured Rainbow in the Rose, unforgettable hard rock tune from the 80s. Winger's first two albums were mind blowing. Hangin On from the first lp and Can't Get Enuff from the second are also classic Winger sound songs. Way to go Leon!
dude!! these killer riff videos are tha bomb. if it wasnt for you I probably would have forever overlooked the absolutely ripping "you're gonna break my heart again" riff.
btw "time to surrender" riff by Winger is a really banging one too (David Brewster has a video on that one)
LOVE this stuff! cheers
Yes..WINGER in 2023..still top of the game...thank you for putting this on the table...you nailed it totally ...and you let it look so easy...cheers from Germany
I've just learned to play the riff to Time To Surrender" which is so cool.
OMG!! Reb was such an awesome guitarist. His guitar video wasn’t too bad at all for back in the day.
U definitely took me down memory lane man..!
Thank you for this. As a longtime Winger fan it is amazing hearing somebody else play the riffs! People can actually see how great of a band they are. Pull was an awesome record. You cant exclude Kip's bass, such a great break @ 3:48. I'm going to have to checkout Ragdoll!!
Glad you enjoyed it! Check out the isolated guitar for 17 that are on YT, Reb is a crazy tight rhythm player
Brilliant man !! And Rainbow in the rose is my favorite Winger song .!!!🤘🏼🤘🏼🤘🏼🤘🏼🤘🏼
Battlestations from the Bill & Ted's Bogus Journey OST!
Winger got a lot of ricidule from the Beavis & Butthead thing and the whole beef with Soldoutallica eh... I mean Metallica,but these guys are massively talented musicians.
Reb Beach is a monster guitarist just watch a video from the early 90´s where he´s doing some cool Jazz/Fusion on an Ibanez 7string that he got from Steve Vai as a gift! John Roth (the second guitar player) is a veteran session musician who can hold his own against Reb. The drummer,Rod Morgenstein, is a professor at Berklee College of Music!!
And Kip Winger himself,who was made fun of,as a "hair-metal pretty boy" ,is a "proper" musician.
He used to be the touring bassplayer for Alice Cooper,in the early 80´s and after the whole "hair-metal" thing passed in the 90´s,he went to college to study classical music. He has an actual degree in classical music and even composed a symphony.
Not some rock meets classic stuff,I´m talking a proper classical piece,that he recorded with an orchestra. Dude even got a Grammy nomination for it.
Btw. "Junkyard Dog" has an insane riff in the breakdown of the song,before the solo kicks in. That riff is sooo good,other bands would have used it for the main riff.
Kip sang a song he's writing for a musical during the last show we played with him. Properly good stuff!
I think Time to surrender is along their best too.
Great playin as always man
Agreed about Winger getting the shaft, IMO Kip Winger is a great singer with tone and range that outshine a lot of hair metal singers, even to this day he still sounds great.
I cannot believe you left out written in the wind that song is so tight and with the chorus lyrics is almost too perfect it's like a song you want to sing along with an air guitar or drums... And you could do it in the next 5 years and you'd still love it lol
Pull is my favorite album from Winger 🤘☺️
I'm in my late thirties and I've never heard of winger!? Loved that second riff, will have to go and check them out. Good video mate.
Billy Bobhouse You're in for a treat. They've never done a duff album in my view. Pull would be a great album to start with but hey all of their albums have a great mixture of killer riffs,hooks,melodies some heavy stuff and the heart felt emotional ballads.
@@pumpkinking5679 thanks man, always on the look out for good music 👍
Billy Bobhouse No probs I think most people are .Theres nothing more satisfying than discovering some band or artist that somehow passed you by.
And thank you so much this guy is awesome he's the type of guy a kid would be dreaming about and knocking on his door 24 hours a day to teach him how to play guitar ..✌️👍👍👍👍👍👍👍❤️
Reb Beach in my opinion is right up there with the very best in the world. He + Rowan Robertson from Dio were the reason I chose to start having lessons when I started out. I also remember an article in guitar world back in the late eighties where the Mag chose four key players from the eighties that would be be of great importance in the nineties.
Reb was one of the four, the other three being Nuno Bettencourt, Alex Skolnick & Vernon Reid.
I'm so glad he picked himself up after the grunge movement came and went. The guitar world wouldn't be the same without guys like him.
IV was a great comeback for Winger, very refreshing but still with their essence... Short Flight to Mexico and Your Great Escape are also killer songs with killer riffs...
Rodrigo Gonzalez Yes short flight to Mexico is killer. Great story to the song and dirty riff. I also adore the song living just to die.🤘🏼
Yeah, and for the life of me, I can't find that old Reb home video. It was really fun to see a pro having to relearn his own solos/parts.
also my favorite album to jam with on my guitar
Now I see the Reb Beach influence in your playing. It's a good thing! Great job with this vid!!! 👦🏻
Rainbow in a rose is my fav winger track ... Great band!
Met Reb Beach and had a drink with him. It was after watching one of his clinics. I have video of the whole clinic. Part of it is on my you tube channel. What a great guy he was. The funny part of our talk was... Reb: "Are we going to talk music at all?" .... Me: "Umm sure if you want to" ... Reb: "One minute" and pulls out a Three Muskateers bar and puts it on the bar ... "Okay we're good now" ... I Look, laugh and he says "They sponser me" .... lmao.... just a cool guy
GREAT !!!!!!!!!!!! love these riffs !!!!!! happy to see you play it !!!!!!
Pull me under is my favorite Winger tune 🔥🤘🖤
Always love it when people talk about Winger, since the general public has been sleeping on them!
Just a bit of constructive criticism: try incorporating more palm muting into the riffs instead of letting them ring out. Once you have that, with your tone, it'll sound just like the albums :)
Hair metal Toto. I had a laugh bro lol. Blind revolution mad is so kickass. Great vid mate ..100 thumbs up
Dude…I love your demos…but so really love your playing 🫵🤘
I appreciate that :)
Majestic!!!!! Fav album is karma and pull. So many great song... I just can't pick. Great video 👍
Hanging On... one of my favorite Winger riffs
Queensryche please, Leon! Cheers.
"Better Days Comin" is a great new album.Glad I got to see'em live 10 yrs ago in CA.Good job Leon,I'll have to buy your music!!
Hands down the most talent of that era.
Killer stuff, I love it. I liked Winger when it was current, you could feel the times were changing but it was so well done.
Winger is a fabulous band and didn’t deserve all the bad press! Great musicians!
Winger rocks!
This is the shit I'm here for. Stay safe Leon.
Reb is still such a good player. That 1st Black Swan album is good all the way through. I dig the verse riff to "Down Incognito".
Ah 17! Also happens to be my favorite/lucky number. So many memories in these riffs! Great job bro!
I CANT BELIEVE I’ve only just seen this video. 🤯 This is so Rad!
Once again Leon, great vid! 🤘🤘 Winger are a huge influence on me. So much so, that I remember writing a riff (maybe 20 years ago) that is now the theme song to my videos over at Cameron Jonson Audio, that was heavily influenced by them. Lol
5 Killer Crimson Glory Riff's would be great.
My favorite song is Like A Ritual from PULL; listen from 1:50 minutes! I saw Winger live in June 1991 - what a voice!
He's still got it today too!
Such a great video. Forgot how good they are. I’ve been listening to them nonstop since this video. Please consider making a video of some of your favorite riffs from ragdoll. I’m serious, mate
Oooooh that sounds fun!
Hell yeah. Commenting before I even. Watch! Seventeen is one of my favorite riffs of all time!!
Awesome Leon! You picked all of my favorite tracks from Winger
Killer as ever Leon! You do the hair metal stuff to perfection.
Thanks Todd this is frickin awesome!!
thanks for sharing my winger riff is hungry the whole song is awesome
Great escape from winger 4 is fantastic
Reb is a killer player and you do him justice! How about a Queensryche riffs episode?
Thankyou! Queensryche is coming soon :)
Perfect video as always! Great choice with Junkyard Dog! I've always loved that riff. Other Winger favorites include Hungry and Madaline. I'd like to see Tyketto, Extreme, or Firehouse.
Awesome stuff! Big Winger fan, too. Ok, not a Winger tune, but Reb Beach plays on the Lost Boys OST - a cover of 'Don't Let the Sun Go Down On Me' - I used to play that outro guitar riff over and over again. Also, check out Reb's lead work with the Brian McDonald Group... So good!
Ohhhh did not know that was Reb!
Headed For A Heartbreak had some great Reb solo work in it too.
Rainbow in the Rose is up there with Still of the Night as far as epic 80's tunes go
yeah I agree, right up there for me
Loved Rebs tone and love his solos, they always fit the songs so perfect. To bad these songs just remind me of working a lot and heart ache. lol but yeah I still jam them once in a while. Also them live on youtube is fun to check out. Kip still has a good voice.
Kip still sounds amazing hey!
I became a winger fan after listening the riff from time to surrender.. Epic!
🤘
You have great taste! I would opt for some Winger IV and Karma riffs as well 🤘🏻
Winger is one of my all time favorite bands. The Pull album is one of the most underrated albums in rock history.
One of my warm ups is Heading for a Heartbreak. I also use it for delay and tone setup as well as string intonation and neck action. I am with you, Winger was the greatest! Also the crazy temponess (is that a word) of "Can't Get Enuff". Right at 1:42 it' messes with your brain. The syncopation of the vocals and the drums.
Great job Leon! Big Winger's fan here too ;-))
Thanks! Great band
Dude you just make everything sound so cool !!! Congrats to you Sir !
Awesome playing as always Leon. Huge Winger and Reb fan. I was blown away as a kid when I first saw that video to Madalaine and I was hooked. I've never seen anyone replicate Reb's sound when he does what I refer to as "liquid tapping". Was hoping to see you play the intro to Baptized by Fire. I can already see you gearing up to do a Ratt and DeMartini top 5 video!
I wonder if Winger would have survived the '90s if they had leaned into their proggy sides a la Dream Theater rather than trying to court mainstream audiences. Also, I look forward to the "5 Killer Riffs - Extreme" episode!
Great job man!!!
Your playing is amazing!!!
I really love all Winger songs... 🤟🏻
Time To Surrender would be my pick, but great stuff - keep 'em coming
Reb Beach is without a doubt one of the most underrated guitar players in rock. Period. He's got the all the tools.....metal, rock, blues, jazz, progressive, EVH-style finger tapping, the two note chord magic made awesome by George Lynch and Ty Tabor. The man is a beast. Put him in band with other heavy weight musicians like Kip Winger and Rod Morgenstein and something akin to pure magic will be the result. Its too bad Winger came out when they did and were labeled a "glam band". They're anything but a glam band. They're real music is "progressive, jazz fused blues funk with cajun spice, creole seasoning laid over slow roasted BBQ on a bed of ghost peppers."
Great video Leon, it's been a long time since i had listen to winger, man, they are great and killers,riffs , down incognito, great song, blind revolution mad, seventeen of course, good choice Leon.
your good musician bro you know quality music
Good stuff as always Leon. Totally agree that they are fantastic players who kinda got the shaft for their timing with grunge coming in. Also, if you would send me that red PRS you’re using, on the house of course, I’ll be your best friend. 😅
Saw them open for the Scorpions in the early 90s , they were bad ass and blew the Scorpions away
MY fav. winger riff hangin on
Brilliant best song Blind Revolution Mad. And Kips vocals are the best-
How about 5 riffs from Ratt, Def Leppard, and Quiet Riot??? New to the channel. Love the content!!!!
Winger 'Pull' is an absolute masterpiece. Not a bag song on that disc. It is without a doubt their magnum opus. They just got screwed hard at the worst possible time in the music landscape when that album dropped. 'Pull' is undoubtedly a "desert island" disc.
Totally agree.
I love Pull Me Under & Battlestattion riff!!!
please more winger stuff. great video. 👍🏼🎱🤙🏽
Very underrated band. If you just stop at their look, you might think it's just another hair metal band, but ever member was extremely proficient at his instrument.
Winger is in my top 5 bands all-time - alongside Dokken, Styx, Steely Dan and King's X.
Great list. King's X are right up there for me
Down Incognito! My favorite
You've gotta definitely cover some King's X! That Dogman riff is pummeling and sick!
I never heard anything other than the self-titled Winger release. I can see where you became a big fan of their later stuff. I always liked their song "Hangin On" and wish I could do that intro run. Same with the intro to Scorpions -Bad Boys Running Wild.
Rainbow in the Rose is my JAM.
Hi Leon, been a subscriber for a while and downloaded your material, which is epic and I love it. I am also a big Winger fan and love the Pull album - "Junkyard Dog" being one of my favourites. Love to see you do "Madalaine" lol. Also recently got into 1V and can't stop playing "Can't take It Back" great atmospheric song with super solo from Reb. Wish I could play like you guys :-) Take care and keep posting.
One of the most under rated band ever ...
Spell I'm under!!! one of the best songs in Pull
Winger received undue criticism in my opinion. Amazing players,loved Rebs rhythm playing as much as his solos. My favorite album by them is Pull also. Great job Leon. Got to stand just to side of stage with his tech, a few feet from Reb when they did a show for the Pull tour. Kinda like a free guitar lesson😁🎸🎵
Reb Beach is one of my major influences. The acoustic intro to Madeline is awesome. Winger's first album is by far my favorite, but I do really like the 2nd one two. One song you didnt mention was the one he did for his video instructional. I feel like not many people know that he doesnt use his pinky finger and developed a way to tap and ring the next string with his tapping hand. I tried practicing it back in the day and got ok with it, but never perfected the style. Can you tackle that as well?
I was thinking about it but that's a whole other can of worms. Great idea for a standalone lesson!
I played the in the heart of the young album when i was in the school almost every day back in the 90s
Such a good album!
