Zakke is one of my favorites. I did security at The Showbox in Seattle and I got to meet him and get a pick with BLS. He was super cool to his fans at the meet and greet. At that same show he went into the audience and played his solo. I was one of the security guards that escorted him through the crowd. I got to watch his whole solo like 2 ft away from him, it was awesome!
"The Wizards of Ozz"??? Dude, that is freakin brilliant. I seriously need to hunt down that magazine but what a clever title to give to Ozzy's arsenal of guitarists. That would be a fantastic title for a book about the history of the men behind Ozzy's career. Well played.
Hey gang - I made a typo with my mouth in this lesson. Be sure you tap the 21st fret during the tapping lick (Lick #1). Don't worry - the notation/tab is written correctly. I have no idea why I said: "22nd fret." A total brain fart - my bad. \m/ ROCK ON \m/
yea man,i see him as a randy rhoads wanna be most of the time and i think he wouldve been better off not picking up where randy left off adn maybe doign new things,instead he takes a page out of everyones book and adds it to randys technique
I don't see him that way at all. I see him as a (once upon a time) kid that loved and respected Randy Rhoads/Black Sabbath and was already a HUGE fan of Ozzy's music. He submitted his audition/cassette to Ozzy and magically got that respected gig in 1987 when he was barely 20 years old. I love Randy and Jake, but I also respect Zakk and always have. In my opinion, I felt he was the best replacement for Jake E. Lee at that time and he really gave Ozzy's fans what they wanted. Yeah, he was emulating Randy Rhoads (BIG time), but that was intentional, mainly because he was already a huge fan and knew those songs/licks. Besides...he was playing guitar in Ozzy's band, so he'd better be able to play like Randy/Jake. I think it was a logical choice and his playing suited Ozzy's music perfectly (at the time). Plus he and Dimebag were good friends, so that adds to my level of respect for him. Everyone has different tastes and hears/listens to music differently. Tomato - Tomatoe.
Well I understand that way of seeing it,but I think there were better people for the job,I happen to know someone that was about to he eith ozzy,but they picked zakk cause he had better hair
@@soul-6323 okay, sure. He was picked because he had better hair? That's exactly what Ozzy searches for when auditioning guitarists, fuckin hair. Smh...
I'm 40, the first time I saw Zakk live was when I was 15. It was the day before I saw Zakk the second time. The night before OzzFest Zakk called around town and found a small venue, then he called the local radio station and had them promote it. I spent $1.01 on a ticket and saw Zakk play most of BLS Sonic Brew live, as well as some tunes from Stronger Than Death before its release. The next day I saw him play with Ozzy. One of my favorite guitarists of all time.
I was at this show, New Haven Coliseum, December 1988, it was Ozzy's 40th birthday, and they brought a cake for him on stage. The next day I heard that someone died falling from the top of the parking garage 140 ft, right before the show. The explosion you hear in this clip was an M80 or maybe something bigger, scared the shit out of me! Later that week I bought this entire bootleg video at an underground record store, still have it!
I like your lessons , so clear , easy to understand and with the tabs...hmm... perfect ...tks do much for all those heroes you help me to understand...keep on
@@johncecilia4517 - thank you! Yeah, No Rest For The Wicked SLAYS. From start to finish, Zakk is simply on fire and even the songs that aren't as great still have some wicked guitar parts/riffs/ideas. I think Fire in the Sky and Bloodbath in Paradise are my favorites from that one, but there are several others that rock too. Thanks again!
I saw zak in 1988 just before no rest for the wicked came out. Noone knew anything about him and he looked like a skinny little hair metal dude. He blew us away that night in Newcastle's mayfair. Ozzy was so drunk he couldn't stand up. I vividly remember zakks solo spot. Also remember the support was a local kid aged about ten, called thomas mcrocklin who played like vai... He is on youtube now. Amazing
ua-cam.com/video/7MQYxS09kFs/v-deo.html , looks like 2 notes per string from the man himself. just freaking fast. This also keeps the alternate picking even.
Yeah, those are pretty crazy at first. Just be sure to go slow and if you need to, move the fingering/shape higher up the fretboard (so the notes are a little closer together) and then you can slowly move it down the neck to lower positions with a larger stretch once you get a feel for it. Good luck! : )
Hey, man. I’ve been watching your videos for sometime now, and I thought would tell you how much I appreciate your approach to teaching guitar licks. Anyhow, keep up the good work! Peace!!
ah the New Haven Coliseum...saw my first show there: KISS with Judas Priest (on their first USA tour) as the opener...1979 (I was 12 yrs old). Saw many other shows there over the years (RUSH, Megadeth, Alice Cooper, etc etc) until it finally got torn down sometime in the 90's I think. Good times! Great lesson, Zakk is a freakin maniac! What a monster player!
I love just hearing a few notes of Vito Brattas' playing! Vito and Nuno are the two guys who send me running to my guitar to practice after hearing just a few notes :-)
Man, I love your channel. Love the discussion! We probably grew up the same era. Yes, "No Rest For the Wicked" came out swinging starting from the opening track Miracle Man. Zakk's heavy guitar tone and pinch harmonics just stood apart from the 80's drums and bass mix during that time.
Thanks for the lesson your one ofy favorite s on UA-cam the last lick has baffled me for years I would love to learn the lick Zak does on shot in the dark just say Ozzy CD the last jam at the end it sounds similar to the last lick still baffles me all this year's later he is a pentatonic monster for sure
Thank you and I totally forgot about that album. Zakk's playing style changed a lot over the years, and I really like the way he played on those early albums with Ozzy. I need to check that album out again - it's been a LONG time. : )
@@LateNightLessons Yeah, those first two albums he did with Ozzy were awesome. Full of great guitar work. I don't really dig the later stuff as much for some reason.
Thanks again for the great lesson. Love the 3 licks vids. Just enough to take in and not get overwhelmed. "Wizards of Ozz" in Guitar Magazine? Totally impressed, you're a niche above most lessons I've seen, and what a humble guy you seem to be. Good stuff from a good guy. Thanks again.
David - Loving this - especially the stretch pentatonic thing - Steve Vai used that in the challenge solo in Crossroads - That solo !!!! OMG a lot of amazing licks to disect in that maybe fodder for a 3 licks thing :-)
Thank you again John and you know, I actually thought about doing that and here you've suggested and half-requested it in this comment. The end of that Crossroads movie is literally loaded with some amazing licks, phrases, and ideas. I mean the Paganini areas are splendid and seem to get most of the attention, but pretty much everything that Vai recorded guitar-wise for that area of the film was spectacular, and all of those Ry Cooder slide licks throughout the entire movie are second-to-none. I think I should put something together like that surrounding Crossroads, but just focus on mining the cool licks and ideas floating around. Thanks again and I guess great minds think alike! : )
I've always been a Jake fan above all, but I have to give credit to Zakk for holding his own with a very tough gig. I've seen Ozzy live with Jake three times, and with Zakk several times as well. Both are great, and both are very different. Zakk had to compete not only with Jake and Randy but with other plays who made a big mark like Yngwie and the rising star Paul Gilbert. While firing Jake was a bad move on the part of Ozzy, Inc, hiring Zakk was a good move. When I saw Jake and then Zakk live it told me how good I had to be if I wanted even the slightest chance of making my mark as a guitarist. It made me try a whole lot harder.
I love ALL of Ozzy's guitar players, but Joe Holmes is criminally under appreciated. How about a 3 Licks breakdown of Joe's stuff? There's some killer licks on that Farmikos album alone!
I used to think that Zakk was just an overrated guitarist that makes generic metal with pinch harmonics every other note...until I took a deep dive on No More Tears and Ozzmosis, The solos on the tracks No More Tears and See you on the Other Side while easy are so fucking beautiful and I absolutely love love love the small intro solo on the track Road to Nowhere, he puts so much feeling and soul into his writing and I love it! See you on the Other Side's solo is my #2 solo of all time, I'm sorry but I don't think anyone will ever top Randy Rhoads solo on Goodbye to Romance, that will always be my #1 solo to play.
Those were awesome licks David! I too find No Rest For The Wicked to be some of Ozzy and Zakk's best material. Miracle Man, Fire In The Sky, Hero (hidden track) and my all time favorite Crazy Babies. I agree Zakk came out swinging to make a name for himself on that album.
Thank you and I agree totally - Zakk was on FIRE on that album. It's not that his other music isn't good (it IS), but there was just something extra fiery about his playing on that album. I'm sure he felt pressure coming from everywhere and really wanted to knock it out of the park - which he totally did! : )
Awesome lesson here Dave!! No Rest was a game changer for me.....it really had a "Diary" vibe to it, and i felt Ozzy was finally back in business (no disrespect to Jake). Keep up the great work buddy :)
Zakk is the man. He for sure had the 80s image. I am guessing that came from Ozzys wife. Great player though and all around nice guy too. . Nice LP too. Very cool. Have you ever done any John Sykes? You're lp reminded me if Thin Lizzy which was a great band . I'm dating myself. Haha. 58 yrs oldand still roxking though, and still catnip to the ladies. Hehehehe. Good stuff man. I had to sub. Thanks again so much..
Never heard back from you. What’s the name of that blue book that has been around for awhile you mentioned you recommended, good all around learning material.
Trying to get more interesting and new kicks into my playing. This is awesome for it. My favorite players too. You should do another Randy Rhoads one! Pleaseee? :)
Jake e Lee is iconic 😁🤘👍❤️ ok had a learn to burn cassette tapes lesson from the 80s bought out of the back of a guitar magazine and you had to write out the tabs the guy read off for you to write down.
Yes he does two notes per string alternate picked, not this legato thing. It's everywhere. It's his whole signature. He does frequently use an extension to the first pentatonic shape, economy picked.
I liked zakks tone back then, but now everyone seems to have that same tone/ wah-wah solos & it's getting stale. Along with his pinch harmonic overkill, I'll stick to the KIX tone on "Blow My Fuse". That tone makes my arm hairs stand up. HEY! There's an idea, Chordplay on Brian and Ronnie from KIX! Straight in your face old school R&R 😀👍 Thanks Dave.
First of all, grear video and overall great content, but I'm pretty sure Zakk would have never played Lick 3 in your video the way you teach it. You could hear the difference in sound between straight alternate picking (what Zakk is doing) and combining it with legato (what you are doing). Zakk is playing 2 notes on each of 2 strings and then sequencing this pattern down the pentatonic scale using straight alternate picking with Berserker Mode turned on :D Anyway sorry for this comment, I'm not a hater, just want to help shine some light on this thing. Cheers!
I’ve been trying to work out how he picks this sequence. I’ve seen it tabbed in some of his solos. Does it start on an upstroke and then downstroke on the B?
No doubt No Rest For the Wicked kicked major ass. And talk about mind blown when you found the hidden best track on the cassette "Hero". Miracle Man to me matches the crazy things George Lynch did with F# minor rhythms on almost any Dokken or Lynch Mob recording. Zakk's rhythms are just as amazing. If by chance of any you Ozzy and Zakk fans didn't know there was a hidden track on No Rest For the Wicked... ua-cam.com/video/IPIPuxaOkUA/v-deo.html
Now we're talkin'! Gales is a MONSTER and that's a video I'd like to make. Thanks for the request and I'll add Eric to the list. Thanks for watching and for this comment too! : )
Because Dave gives a rundown on who he's covering to let you see what you're getting yourself into, that's why. Besides, he's not charging anything for these, so sit back and learn something. Or you can simply FF >>.
I'm sorry you feel that way, but Zakk does have some interesting ideas and things you can learn from him, but I understand - he's not for everyone. Thanks for watching!

That stretchy pentatonic lick -- I definitely heard it as 2 notes per string until you showed the correct way to play it.

I think the Pride & Glory album was incredible!! Not a big fan of his BLS stuff, but that P&G disc was killer!
Great work , as Always Dave 😎🎸
Zakk's stretch pentatonic riff was a fusion of E minor pentatonic shape one on the 12th fret and the 5th shape from the 9th fret.

I've always been a Jake fan above all, but I have to give credit to Zakk for holding his own with a very tough gig. I've seen Ozzy live with Jake three times, and with Zakk several times as well. Both are great, and both are very different. Zakk had to compete not only with Jake and Randy but with other plays who made a big mark like Yngwie and the rising star Paul Gilbert. While firing Jake was a bad move on the part of Ozzy, Inc, hiring Zakk was a good move. When I saw Jake and then Zakk live it told me how good I had to be if I wanted even the slightest chance of making my mark as a guitarist. It made me try a whole lot harder.
Great lesson, but that last lick is definitely played as two notes per string by Zakk.
You hit that shit right on the money
I enjoy your channel bro.
I love ALL of Ozzy's guitar players, but Joe Holmes is criminally under appreciated. How about a 3 Licks breakdown of Joe's stuff? There's some killer licks on that Farmikos album alone!

You are absolutely as good
Great video! Like how you played the tap bend riffs by Van Halen and Bratta and compared them to Zakk's technique
i must say, David. You do kick gtr but!! Thanks for the direction & clever teaching style. You are very cool & talented indeed. My best wishes to you.
That last lick he picks all of that right? Really damn hard to do
Those were awesome licks David! I too find No Rest For The Wicked to be some of Ozzy and Zakk's best material. Miracle Man, Fire In The Sky, Hero (hidden track) and my all time favorite Crazy Babies. I agree Zakk came out swinging to make a name for himself on that album.

the picking fro, the third lick is not so clear for me , maybe could you explain it. thanks!
Hi David, I joined your Patreon page and I don't see this lesson on there. Am I missing it completely or was it simply not posted? Thanks!
Jake e Lee is iconic 😁🤘👍❤️ ok had a learn to burn cassette tapes lesson from the 80s bought out of the back of a guitar magazine and you had to write out the tabs the guy read off for you to write down.
Bloodbath might be the greatest song since Randy. It's just violently played and sounds great. Just an awesome song!!!!
I think at 10:10 Zakk is doing 2 notes per string still but with all alternate picking. Crazy fast stuff
Yes he does two notes per string alternate picked, not this legato thing. It's everywhere. It's his whole signature. He does frequently use an extension to the first pentatonic shape, economy picked.
Hey man love the lesson just curious on how you are picking the last lick
I always say that Zakk reminds of Thor if he lost his hammer and found a guitar
I always say that Zakk reminds me of Thor if he lost his hammer and found a guitar
Thts the first pic I'd ever seem of him..
Another great lesson! Thanks so much! I was curious what your amp set looks like when you do these videos?
Last lick is definitely not stretched licks it’s zakk he’s a pentatonic beast
I liked zakks tone back then, but now everyone seems to have that same tone/ wah-wah solos & it's getting stale. Along with his pinch harmonic overkill, I'll stick to the KIX tone on "Blow My Fuse". That tone makes my arm hairs stand up.
HEY! There's an idea, Chordplay on Brian and Ronnie from KIX! Straight in your face old school R&R 😀👍
Thanks Dave.
FYI - actual playing doesn't start until well after the 5 minute mark.
David... Will you do a 3 for all on Scotti Hill licks or solos. Hes a very underated player who needs some respect
I was a big Jake fan and was very let-down by Zakk's debut at the time. NRFTW has grown on me over the years, though.
Keller playing on that record
Appreciate the licks. Even if it took you over 6 minutes to get to it. 😆
First of all, grear video and overall great content, but I'm pretty sure Zakk would have never played Lick 3 in your video the way you teach it. You could hear the difference in sound between straight alternate picking (what Zakk is doing) and combining it with legato (what you are doing). Zakk is playing 2 notes on each of 2 strings and then sequencing this pattern down the pentatonic scale using straight alternate picking with Berserker Mode turned on :D
Anyway sorry for this comment, I'm not a hater, just want to help shine some light on this thing. Cheers!
I’ve been trying to work out how he picks this sequence. I’ve seen it tabbed in some of his solos. Does it start on an upstroke and then downstroke on the B?
@@timhet200 Simply Down-Up 2 notes on E, then Down-Up on B and repeat as many as you want, that's it. Good old alternate picking pattern.
Your tone is better than all the guitarist your demonstrating

No doubt No Rest For the Wicked kicked major ass. And talk about mind blown when you found the hidden best track on the cassette "Hero". Miracle Man to me matches the crazy things George Lynch did with F# minor rhythms on almost any Dokken or Lynch Mob recording. Zakk's rhythms are just as amazing. If by chance of any you Ozzy and Zakk fans didn't know there was a hidden track on No Rest For the Wicked... ua-cam.com/video/IPIPuxaOkUA/v-deo.html
I’m a huge Zakk fan but more for his rhythm stuff and tone. I get tired listening to him trying to shred. Same for EVH, maybe I’m getting old.
Jake E Lee please
Not related to this killer vid...hairspray Zakk....but...uhm..show some Eric Gales licks
Now we're talkin'!
Gales is a MONSTER and that's a video I'd like to make.
Thanks for the request and I'll add Eric to the list.
Thanks for watching and for this comment too!
: )
Why all your lessons starts after 5 mins or so?
I used to like your videos but there's just too much talkings
Because Dave gives a rundown on who he's covering to let you see what you're getting yourself into, that's why. Besides, he's not charging anything for these, so sit back and learn something. Or you can simply FF >>.
The new ZW stuff after 1991 was lame . To many squeals
i dislike zakk very much,his playing is generic and his tone makes me sick
I'm sorry you feel that way, but Zakk does have some interesting ideas and things you can learn from him, but I understand - he's not for everyone.
Thanks for watching!
Your dislike is not the point of "lessons". Get over it. Smoke a joint, cry a fuckin river. Whatever it takes.
