Rex Goh was born as Tee Haut Rex Goh on 5 May 1951 in Singapore and grew up in Aljunied. At ten he learned the ukulele with guidance from a neighbouring musician, Benny Chan, who was a guitarist for a local group, The Checkmates. After three or four years he started on guitar, and was inspired by early 1960s bands, The Shadows and The Ventures, and then by Eric Clapton, Jimi Hendrix and Terry Kath. He joined Tani's Titans on bass guitar, which appeared on a children's TV show, performing country music. After finishing secondary school he was a member of Group 123, initially on bass guitar but soon switching to lead guitar. He acquired his 1969 Gibson Les Paul guitar; the group performed at British RAF bases.
