    Thank you so much for the awesome words about me. You are great! Really good job. This is a really good video. There is one wrong note in the riff, though. Everyone plays it , so don't feel bad. Haha! I really enjoyed this video. You are a good teacher.

  • @gflyinfukk

    Hey Allen. I'm talking about the intro/chorus riff in E. You are playing that typical nine chord and hitting the F# on the B string, but I strech my pinky and play it on the g string. Then, I don't play the F# twice. I let go the second time and hit the E on the g string with my hand holding the straight e power chord. All the best!

      Reb is the man. it was too bad beavis and butthead messed up Winger (or so goes the theory). Winger was one of those bands that actually had real talent. this riff alone is evidence. not many people can play this riff as clean as Reb did. I was so glad he joined whitesnake, one of the all time greats. saw them in sanfran in 2013.

    Dude, you are bad ass. I am refreshed to see an instructor on CZcams who is actually on his game, and giving the guys accurate information!! I'm a long time guitar instructor myself, and you and I are brothers from the angle of "teach it correctly or get the hell off of CZcams". Thanks, you have my respect for your validity!!

  • @theaterdreamer
    @theaterdreamer Pƙed 12 lety +4

    Allen, you're the shit. This is one of my all-time favorite songs of the 80's, and the rhythm is deceptively tricky to pull off. I've never been able to play it correctly. But I will thanks to you.
    People have never appreciated Winger's musicianship. Reb, Kip, Rod and Paul are wicked talents, and too many people get caught up on the image. Bands like Metallica that have dissed them couldn't play this to save their lives. Reb is one of the best guitarists on the planet.

    Reb is way under-rated. He even mentions in the vid that he put it out there because most people are playing it wrong. Took me a week just to get it right and I still mess it up from time to time. I'd much rather play it this way! Sounds great!

  • @powerswish
    @powerswish Pƙed 7 lety +2

    Not that it matters, because it sounds great either way, but that first part of the riff is closer to how tab books had it back then than how Reb really plays it. The main difference being, Reb doesn't come down to the 9th fret of the G string after hitting the 10th fret of the B string. He actually continues to barre the 9th fret D and G strings with the ring finger, then presses down the 11th fret with his pinky for one of the notes.

  • @colbs237
    @colbs237 Pƙed 11 lety +1

    I never understood the hatred of Winger. I think they were truly stabbed by Beavis & Butthead! Crazy, I know. This song and a couple others on their breakthrough album were so red hot, it was just incredible. Reb Beach was sooo good back then. He had done the fusion demos, and then he played this rythm riff and I was like "Good lord!".

  • @AllenVanWert

  • @AllenVanWert
    @AllenVanWert Pƙed 11 lety

    Yeah, he commented in this video you are watching here about it. I figured it all out by ear and the delay on the guitar made it tricky at times to be 100% confident in what I was hearing so I went with safe logical decisions about parts. I think I actually had it like he does before I went to this variation because I told myself... no way would someone play it this way LOL.
    He was nice about it all and I am happy to have only one note wrong in this tough song LOL.

  • @Wargasm644
    @Wargasm644 Pƙed 5 lety

    I was always into heavier stuff (and still am) . Dark Angel, Slayer, Possessed, Vio-lence, Metallica, etc when this song came out. Such a bubblegum song. Never crossed my mind that it would have a fair degree of difficulty to play. Great riffing. Reminds me a little of Ratt style riffing. Ratt was my poser band I listened to back in the day. My girlfriend at the time loved them. So I kinda had to like em too. Lol. Plus it was a lot easier to get laid with Ratt than with Slayer. 😂
    And Warren is a pretty kickass guitarist. But this guitarist for Winger is beastly. Wished he would’ve gone the Pantera route. But definitely got to acknowledge his skills. đŸ€˜đŸ»

  • @ralphralpherson9441
    @ralphralpherson9441 Pƙed rokem

    Very good lesson! But there is ONE little error / difference from the way Winger originally played this. But overall this is a solid lesson from a very competent teacher. Well done!!
    (((P.S. in the main riff, in the E power chord position (7th fret) Reb reaches up with his pinky and frets the F# on the G-string at the 11th fret, whereas the guy teaching the video is playing the F# on the B-string at the 7th fret (in like, sort of an A-sus2 chord shape). I've watched Reb play this song in a ton of live videos and you can always see that pinky shooting out to grab that F#. I like Reb's way better because it makes the little F#-G#-E lick at the end so much easier. But they basically sound the same so its whatever makes you more comfy... also don't forget to put DELAY on your channel, its an 8th note delay with only 1 or 2 repeats at 20% or less original volume. Also with Reb Beach, you wanna turn the GAIN down and cut out some of the highs in the EQ... use a nice Marshall JCM stack setting and you are good to go!))

    • @officialrebbeach9382
      @officialrebbeach9382 Pƙed rokem

      The notes are also wrong so it doesn't sound the same. On youtube just search "Reb Beach Seventeen soloed " Someone at Atlantic must have released the individual tracks. It's much easier to hear. The fourth, fifth and sixth notes aren't the same note in the main riff. It's not 3 F#'s in a row.
