Chordplay - The Chords of Winger

Here's the next episode of Chordplay with The Chords of Winger. Reb Beach really made a splash on the scene in the late 1980s with the group Winger, which uncovered his impressive lead and tapping skills, but he also has a number of interesting and unusual rhythm-based ideas hiding up his sleeve and this lesson tackles a number of his inspiring ideas during his time playing with this popular band in the late 1980s and early 1990s. The examples/riffs from this lesson mainly include songs from their debut album, but you'll also find a section of a lost classic from their 1993 album 'Pull' along with a few other surprises. For those that are influenced by Eddie Van Halen, guitarists such as Reb (and Vito Bratta from White Lion) help countless players see beyond the ideas and inspiration that Van Halen sparked in his monumental music, and exploring music from players like these can help you understand how to take the ball from "King Edward" and move into some uncharted territory of your design. The ideas in this lesson include chart-toppers such as 'Seventeen,' and 'Madalaine,' along with a few lesser-known songs, including songs such as 'Time To Surrender,' 'Blind Revolution Mad,' and much more. There's plenty of new and interesting things you can learn from studying a player as talented as Reb and this lesson will help you get a grip with some of this challenging chord-based rhythm guitar parts and songwriting ideas.
