Here's Playing God if you want to hear the solo that BATM inspired me to play ua-cam.com/video/Bo5KrylsNYY/v-deo.html
Hello Leon, did you know Jake was from San Diego? My sister dated a singer in a band he was in all those years ago. He also replaced my then guitar teacher in band called Child. How is that for useless rock trivia? Anyway, the solo to Playing God is just wicked good Leon. I love these "How not to" videos. Just don't do any "How not to" Ragdoll ...... we want the straight stuff there brother!!
Hey Leon. HoosierDaddy here on wife’s phone. Great videos these how not to play. Of course before YT and such, one Just played the songs / covers as best you could, especially if like me you only do so by ear. Then later I find out I was playing a bunch of songs the hard way. Same notes, but different spot on the neck and usually the hard way, or I had to compromise and mix two guitar parts on the original recording and try to make it sound at least familiar with just me playing in some instances. I also just like you absolutely love doing it my way but keeping the integrity of the song, otherwise it bores me to learn every song note for note. I’m sure you understand. Like you’ve mentioned guitar playing is supposed to be fun.. Love these videos sir. Be good my friend..
Jake is a bad ass. Really enjoy watching interviews with him on UA-cam. Didn't hurt that he hung out/lived with Warren DeMartini and they continuously pushed each other.
It still doesn't make your life any better! You're antisocial. Don't try and communicate with others! It's not going to workout good for you.
@@dreyn7780 what the hell?
Tribute was a landmark for me too! Listened to that album over and over again.
Digging your attitude, man...nice content. Cheers!
Please give Green-Tinted Sixties Mind by Mr. Big the Leon Todd treatment. Because the way Paul Gilbert plays it is ridiculous and unacceptable.
Yeah that riff is bizarre
Your approach is 1000000% rock and roll and is the essence of great guitar playing, which is feel.
Thank you, you’re doing what other guitar teachers should do.
Tell us how “not” to play songs.
Which in layman’s terms means, play the song easy and efficient and enjoy the energy and feel of the track rather than being a fretboard professor.
I’ve been a guitar player for 15 years, this is perfect, thank you!
I love these "How NOT to Play" videos you've done! They're awesome for those of us who want to be able to bust out a fun riff with our friends, but aren't too concerned with playing it the "right" way. I think you could make an entire channel just focused on this kind of thing. I'd sub to that, for sure. Thanks for putting these online!
I've got plenty more of these planned, so that's great to hear :)
AWESOME LESSON !!! Your way is soooooo much easier than how it's actually played and sounds just as good. Please keep doing videos/lessons like this.
My list of the best guitarists that Ozzy has recorded with:
1. Tony Iommi. He's not the fastest or flashiest but there's no doubt that Iommi has come up with the best and most sickest riffs of all time. He's the Master.
2. Randy Rhodes.
3. Jake E. Lee
4. Zakk Wylde
5. Gus G.
6. Jerry Cantrell Nothing against Jerry he's one of my favorite guitarist, his playing style isn't a good match for Ozzy's solo career style of music.
I love these video’s, I’m 59 ,so I started learning stuff from a record player on 16 to slow it down ,your right ,so many ways to play different things , you don’t have to play everything exactly .as long as it’s in the right timing.sometimes it’s cool to find out ,oh that’s the way it goes. But to be honest , I’m a bit lazy. On the other hand sometimes you have to play it the right way , check out the first 2 chords in Mr sandman , my hands are not huge so I have to position the neck so I can get those stretches .Thank Leon for the great input 😜
I saw the same Jake video showing how he plays it and I was like whoa! 🤯 what the heck is he doing I had no idea. I was doing it more like you. Great video, I like it! 👊🤘
Don't Close Your Eyes by Dokken is a fun song to play. The intro riff + the intro solo is great fun to play.
Anything Dokken did, I tend to love
I learned this song as a young kid. Like you I relearned it because our singer wanted to play it. I was surprised how wrong I was. I didn’t have UA-cam or tabs just a cassette with a rewind button and lots of patience. Jake was always my favorite Ozzy guitarist.
You are me. Great stuff man. Got to play Bark and Dio's stuff with Appice's Drum Wars. PS. I had to do it like Jake. Balls. Cheers brother, keep posting!
i play exactly the same way you do lol , Jake is a freak and i love him for it , definitely my fav guitar player ozzy ever had , to me he has the best and most creative licks and melodic approach overall.
great video as usual
Badlands was badass too
@@LeonTodd i feel ashamed to say that i never took the time to listen to Badlands, i need to catch up
Uncle Ben knows his stuff for sure. I’ve learned a good bit from him my self. I’m sure I’ll learn a bit from you as well. I just found your channel. There’s always something cool to learn. That’s why I started watching UA-cam in the first place.
Hey, i love your how not to play series, ive been trying to learn bark at the moon for awhile the hard way and after watching you simplify it your way it really helped me out. Keep up the fantastic videos.
Awesome to hear :)
I must have found some good tabs..ive been playing like this forever
“Love of my Life” by the awesome Swedish band Arctic Rain is very close to the Bark at the moon riff. It’s an awesome song.
Arctic Rain=Dokken meets
Boston. My fave rock album of the year! Sweden is keeping the 80’s sound alive!!
I’m not trying to do an ad for Arctic Rain, I just love them because they inspire me. It started with Ghost, then UA-cam recommended Eclipse and Perfect Plan and W.E.T. And Captain Blackbeard and tons of others. Finally, I found some modern bands that make me want to pick up the guitar every time I hear them. Night flight orchestra also made me wonder where have these bands been my whole adult life. I’m like a kid again! Moving to Sweden!! Lol
Hello! Your great Leon. I was looking at Ben's video about this riff, and my thoughts of it is the same. I tried to play like the original but I gave up, way to wide stretch for my short fingers. Not a single tab on internet shows that weird way to play it like the original😀
these are greats vids man well done
That's almost how Gus G plays it. That whole Jake E Lee guitar Clinic video taught me how to resolve notes better because I never really thought how to resolve notes. I almost have the song practice enough at speed. I have a nice ax8 tone for Jake E Lee exactly for that song.
Love your approach to this. My kind of guy.
Much appreciated :)
Great demonstration and explanation! Thanks for sharing brother! Be Well Leon!
It's all wrong! You're unwise.
I love Jake
Awesome brother!! These shred runs really get to me sometimes I've been a rhythm player about all my life and now im just starting to try to understand lead and shredding and its seems it gets more complicated as i try to figure it out!! Lol really enjoy your channel and keep on rocking these great songs brother!! I might get the hang of it by the time im 80 or 90!! Haha 🤠👍🤘🎸🤘🍻🍺🍻
Watch Paul Gilbert's intense rock video - the ultimate shred workout!
Leon Todd thanks brother I will sure take a look at it!! Appreciate all you do on here brother!
Because of your accent, Leon, I kept hearing BACH at the moon. Just thought that was funny. Keep up the vids dude!
Screams break the silence
Composing from the dead of night
Counterpoint is boiling
He's returned to score the light
Then when he's found chords he's looking for
Listen in awe and you'll hear him
Bach at the moon
You know, I actually thought that Bark at the Moon was Randy for the longest time. Then I looked it up and became sad cuz I also thought Randy was still around but he wasn't. Amazing album.
awesome top PRS!
Crazy hey!
I've always been a stickler for playing cover tunes the right way. But sometimes you just can't, weather I can't physically or can't figure it out. Especially being over 50 now and not playing for a while there's just stuff I can't do anymore. The second half of the first solo in BATM is an example. No matter what , I can't get it to sound right :(
Same here. I always try to learn things right, but my 50+ hands don't always want to cooperate. Only started playing again 3 years ago after about a 25 year lull. So getting them back up to speed is a chore.
That part was I struggle for me, I'm close now but put it aside for a while, was working with that solo for several months.
The right way is playing the right notes
Thanks for the 'esaier ' way to play this, my fingers aren't long enough to stretch like Jake.
This is the second time ive watched you play wrong the same way i do. I dont even want to bother playing it correctly
Well, if this doesn't work and you can't do the stretches, can I recommend a 3/4 scale guitar? I think there are parts of a song necessary, but make it your own.
Promises by def leppard i’ve seen played 29 different ways, can you demo how “not” to play it.
“The Ultimate Sin” has been OOP for several years, unfortunately. Not the strongest release, but I think it has something to do with songwriting credits toward Phil Soussan.
Oh, yeah... and it’s the one album where Jake actually get songwriting royalties. Convenient for Sharozzy to just nuke the thing off the face of the Earth.
Reading about Jake get screwed by Shaz/Ozz really made my blood boil
Leon Todd
Right. When I listened to the interview with him and Eddie Trunk, first thing I thought was how wrong I could be, thinking she/they couldn’t sink any lower than replacing drums and bass parts on two albums LOL!
@@LeonTodd Not to remove too much blame, but Ozzy was a complete f'n mess in the 80's, and honestly, I would say he likely didn't have the first clue who was being paid what at the time. I'd be surprised if he's all that conscious of it to this day. I put all that shit squarely on Sharon. Pretty sure she screwed every single person that's worked with the band at some point over the years, not to mention Black Sabbath and many bands beyond Ozzy's inner circle as well. I'm sort of amazed that Zakk keeps going back for more and has nothing but good things to say about her. So I guess his paycheck couldn't be all that bad.
Actually Jake had to sell his royalties for TUS shortly after, for peanuts, because he didn't want to deal with the Osbournes and go through attorneys for the rest of his life... So he doesn't get anything for either BATM or TUS, he should be a millionaire but he isn't...
And Ozzy knew perfectly what business mastermind Sharon was doing to his musicians, addiction or not, he told Jake face to face that he screwed him for money and royalties...
TUS is honestly my favorite Ozzy's record, and certainly the most advanced and brutal guitar's wise... And yes, once again there are songwriting issues with Phil Soussan too since he wrote Shot In The Dark, all the rest was done by Jake and lyrics by Bob Daisley...
Nicola Ferrari
Yeah, I think the issues with TUS are more with Phil Soussan and particularly “Shot in the Dark,” which is why TUS and “Just Say ‘Ozzy’” are out-of-print.
I’ve never bought the whole “lovable idiot” thing with Ozzy. He’s complicit with what Sharon has been doing, which makes him just as guilty.
Great video dude! Subbed!
It's NOT a great vid! All wrong comments by an unwise antisocial human who wasn't even born back then.
@@dreyn7780 I think you hurt my one feeling I had left, boo hoo 🤣
You should check out Strung Out’s version that they’ve played for years and see if they’re doing it right!
In this society YOU PAY BEFORE YOU COMMENT ordering people to do what you want them to do.
Cool stuff! I've been butchering Bark At The Moon for years. I play the ending solo the same way you do. How bout showing me Little Wing? 🙃🙃🙃
Hi Leon, Brilliant Video, love these Videos, Thank you.👍👍👍.
May I request Still of the Night, Pleeeese. One of those songs I absolutely love.
Take care mate ♥️🎸👍.
Melbourne, Australia.
Yes, yes and yes. Love that song
Leon Todd , You are a Legend!!!🎸👍👍👍
Limewire?! Wow... there's a site I haven't heard about in a long time! Napster days!
You play it just like jake hahaha
Love your content, you got a subscriber
Do Them Bones next, man!
Please restart this series! 😅
Yeah it needs a revamp. Happy to take song suggestions!
Kazaa, Limewire? This dude is oldschool.
Em B. I had to flush my hard drive so many times from downloading viruses from Kazaa, limewire, and frostwire. Also wasn’t fun using Nero to burn a CD from these sites.
It was a sad day when I finally gave into purchasing music from iTunes. No viruses. No CD’s.
Berne Torme sadly passed away a couple of weeks ago :(
How much do you charge for guitar Skype lessons? I would love to learn from you mate. I have an Aussie friend
Watch Baby Saster's cover.....mind blown
Thanks God for my Variax!🤣
Gus g does a video on it as well
Who's Jake E. Lee?!? Gawd...
well done... why make it harder than it has to be when it sounds just as good. :)
Why drive a ferarri when a Mini Cooper is just as good! Cheapass idiot!
Jake wrote the first DIO albums too..
No he didn’t. A couple songs on the first record originated conceptually during the brief Dio stint but he didn’t contribute a lot to Dio.
🤣🤣🤣 complete bullshit
Brad Gillis... the forgotten one.
yes!
Brad walked away from the dysfunctional Ozzy tractor beam....to be loyal to his band mates from night ranger....ultimate respect for him to not leave his guys behind....obviously he stepped in shoes of RR and rocked his ass off.....most pressure ever and he did it....Jake is the one that got away.....bark and ultimate locked me in and many of us the done is insane and 30 years later i can't stop turning the knob up when i hear anything from Jake!
Yep, everyone always focused on Rhoads or Wylde, while Jake was the somewhat forgotten player that was better than all of them, only in recent years he's finally getting his deserved credit...
He came around during Ozzy's worst addiction period, was robbed of his royalties for both BATM and TUS, then fired... The Osbournes always tried to disown that musical's period for whatever stupid reason...
The Ultimate Sin is even freakier guitar's wise than BATM, and his Badlands stuff is just phenomenal, one of the greatest musicians of our time...
@James Morton For me it isn't. Playing wise Jake was superior.
Err ... why not use the open G string for the bottom note? ..
Now that's even better
Sorry dude - that was a bit trollish .. I was just surprised cos I thought you were heading straight there and I was kicking myself for never having thought of that one myself .. :-)
@@LeonTodd Keep the vids coming .. you have a little pocket of fandom here in East London .. Good stuff man ..
@@TheActressAndBishop not at all - part of the reason I do these vids is to refine ideas and that's a really great one!
That's exactly what I do. F5 at 3rd fret with open g string. Much much easier.
Why play something hard when you can play it easier and sound the same.
In your mind, tone doesn't influence string tuning. In reality the equipment used DOES INFLUENCE NOTE TUNEing. Hendrix himself told us all his wah pedal lowered the TUNEing of the notes he was playing, and you still haven't learned this basic fact in 2019. It's NOT acceptable to only tune the notes with an electronic tuner cause that's not enough in 2019. You MUST ALSO plug into the exact equipment to tune the signal from the guitar.
'Intune notes' can be and are out of tune by 1 and a half tones. You're playing a G note but its supposed to be an 'A' note. You're driving the wrong notes and playing everything wrong!
What's amazing about Jake (well, among the many things) is that with other guitarists, the MIT crowd OVER COMPLICATES transcription and you find out the player is playing it the easy way. With Jake, you learn the easy way thinking that's the most sensible way to play it only to find out Jake does it all the hard way!
Howewer gus g plays in another way -;)
Similar to how Gus G plays the rhythm part 👍
Yes, Gus G does do it similar to this, but it's not quite Jake sounding. This gets it right on. Glad he put this out.
I bark at my wife all the time but it doesnt help.
Driving a Toyota while telling us what its like to drive a Lamborghini. Not kool. Jake isn't a social person. Avoid things which don't apply to you. You'll always 'get it wrong' cause you've no social context to this stuff. You really are trying to tell us how the Egypt pyramids are built. Go away kid!
Missed you mate, hope all is well
Jake was never going to say anything about how he makes his art cause he's a horrible antisocial scumbag who hates the music industry but had no choice, cause he wanted fame and fortune. Every time he gets a bunch of drunk druggies to play music with, he finds out nobody likes listening to a bunch of horrible antisocial non church goers playing crap historical music. What they did to Boney M, happens back to them today. He sowed nothing, he gets nothing!
