    Hey kids!!! Its your good buddy Uncle Ben Eller here with Weekend Wankshop 300!!! THREE HUNDRED! I can't even believe it. And to celebrate, i'm giving you all something the world has needed for ages: the ULTIMATE comprehensive Jake E. Lee/Ozzy Osbourne Bark at the Moon guitar lesson!!! There are honestly SO MANY bad TABs, lessons, and videos on this one, the record had to be set straight! Fortunately, some kind soul uploaded an isolated guitar track to this legendary song, so i was able to transcribe every riff, lick, chord extension, solo, and hot phrase with accuracy. I'm so excited to share this one with you all, there was a LOT of stuff Jake played on this track that i NEVER noticed!!!

      Yeah last time I saw Ozzy with Jake 2017, the stage had the typical large video screens on both sides. At one point it did this legacy run from Blizzard to current showing a time line of videos of Ozzy’s career and band members (but mostly Ozzy and RR or ZW), not one of Jake, and I thought what a joke. So insecure they can’t put Jake in the mix. Unless of course Jake’s lawyer was so good in 1985/86 that the terms were that Ozzy couldn’t reference Jake on anything without compensation.
      The main beef from what I read is that on BATM Jake got no writing credit. Before Jake would record KOG he insisted on getting writing credit and Sharon granted it. Then she found away to get rid of him before the next album.
      Jake needed Ozzy as he only had mediocre success (as most guitar players (except EVH) without a good singer. Badlands was cool but people weren’t wanting another Deep Purple/Rainbow. We wanted every song to sound like “High Wire” or better.
      Jake has an unusual pick style some times that is unmuted during his leads that create a Blackmorish type sound and usually is followed by Jake’s great artificial pinch harmonics. Plus he had a fantastic chorus effect like on the intro to KOG.
      It’s interesting that you can’t tell that Jake and Warren ever were roommates as they sound nothing alike. If you listen to Mickey Ratt you can tell the “Never Use Love” riff is a typical Jake riff as it is nuanced than a generic riff. Jake used to say a guitar player should be good at playing rhythm guitar as that is what you are playing 80-90% of the time (unless your YJM), and much like how great a rhythm player EVH was.

      @@denafitzgerald2554 Because of inspiration. Warren was Jake's suggestion to join to Ratt when he left to join Ozzy. If you know Warren's playing you would know that he purposely backed off of his George Lynch style too, and when he started to sound like George and is why he switched over to more bluesy stuff and quit being flashy. Listen to solo's off of Invasion of Your Privacy (Between the Eyes and Give it All) very much in the style of George Lynch. Jake was harder to follow with his phrasing and he has an interesting use of scales that are actually a lot different than George Lynch and Warren. Jake is a little looser and not quite as precise as George and Warren were on albums like Tooth N Nail, Under Lock & Key, Out of the Cellar and Invasion (may have been due to the way they both used to hold the pick...flayed hand and also use of jerk off vibrato). The interview with Jake and Warren on the cover of one of the 80's Guitar mags I had, both offered construction criticism of one another as friends. I was actually giving kudos to Warren not sounding like Jake when he joined Ratt, since Jake came from Mickey RATT and there are a lot of riffs and songs used on future Ratt albums with Warren.

      I always got the impression he was brought in as a van halen clone, to keep ozzy marketable. In reality he had all the technique and he is actually a really good song writer. His solo work on the ultimate sin is phenomenal. So much detail and work must have gone into that album. The outro solos alone are astonishing, that's before you start picking apart the rhythm work on stuff like killer of giants and fool like you, never know why. The irony of Jake's story ,is that the la stunt guitar thing wasn't his true inclination. His work on the badlands albums shows where his heart lies!

      @@ddguitars1969 It's funny you say that about The Ultimate Sin because it was ridiculously commercial. I knew a guy that fronted his own original metal band in NJ. I was a bassist for a while. I remember he just hated the Ultimate Sin. Of course the guy I was talking about was a huge Sabbath fan, and liked Ozzy's solo stuff before; at least before Jake but for a lot of metal heads I heard nothing but bad stuff about the Ultimate Sin. I though it was okay, just not as good as Bark At The Moon. My friend was right though; that was Jake's last album - he was replaced by the mighty Zakk Wyld; who is great and somehow he's still with Ozzy, well Ozzy got old and he's content with Zakk. I don't think much of their last album though.

    I am 50. I grew up on all this, as a matter of fact, this was my 1st Ozzy album. Found it in our Church parking lot when I was like 11 or 12. I was instantly hooked and was a metalhead by the end of the album.
    By having amazing people like Ben, take the time to break this down on a video saves me tons of time. I used to spend hours breaking songs down by buying a book from the Music stores and sitting in my room for a week. Made figuring out phrasing and some of the licks very difficult to figure out positioning to get the technique perfect (as you could get it). Or you could not find a book and had to break it down by ear or see if someone you knew had a better way of playing it. That was when they blurred out fretboards on Mtv Headbangers Ball so you couldn't copy/steal the runs.
    I know its easy to toss out a thumbs down cause your stepdad told you HIS way was right but you should remove that. Or show us how its done Biff. \m/

It's the 35th anniversary of Ultimate Sin this year, perfect time to dive into a lesser covered song from that.

Bend behind the nut, 3rd string, tap the string in the 12th fret position and pull off, then depending on your mood, lightly touch the string again to catch the harmonic, while bending the string behind the nut. Easy? Nope. But with a lot of practice it's achievable! Thanks for all the lessons Uncle Ben!!!!

      Zakk was great with Ozzy, on the No rest and No more tears records, and parts of Ozzmosis...but after those he wasn't anything special. His playing hasn't had anything decent to say in ages. Gus G.'s playing on Scream was quite welcome when he came around. All Zakk does now and for some time is play at a million miles an hour with that horrendous chorus pedal on constantly...his vibrato I will say is legendary. Gary Moore and him are the only 2 guys I've ever seen who had absolutely perfect control of it no matter where on the neck they are and with EVERY fret hand finger.

      We all now Randy’s playing remains iconic and he created a style that inspired thousands, but he also borrowed a lot from other players like Eddie Van Halen, Garry Moore, and George Lynch who showed him the tapping pattern that he used in “Flying High Again”.

      It's apples and oranges really neither one is best; I'd say that Jake is a one in a million player, when I hear Bark At The Moon I want to learn the song on guitar myself. It really is original; Jake E. Lee. The big guitarists you listed influenced Randy - I can't say I was aware until you stated it. Well we all know Randy is a classical guitarist at heart; but it's like Ozzy said, "Randy's playing was an extension of the guitar."
