Legendary Jake E. Lee Solos
Вставка
- Опубліковано 4 жов 2024
- *I made this compilation months ago but copy claims completely butchered and destroyed half the video so... here's what's left I guess. I think the Lightning Strikes, Secret Loser, Never Know Why, and the Killer of Giant's solos definitely got cut as well as some others. Sorry y'all.*
There aren't enough die-hard Jake E. Lee fans and I'm sick of it. Y'all need to listen to these solos, listen to the albums (the ORIGINAL master of BATM not that abomination "remaster" where they cut some of his leads and mixed him lower), and check out some Badlands tunes too cause there be some good shit there. I also dig some of the more recent Red Dragon Cartel material. Solid riffs and leads as always.
This is by no means a comprehensive collection of live solos these are just some of my favorites. Many greats were omitted and some studio tracks with fantastic playing were never played live either. In particular, I left out Shot in the Dark and The Ultimate Sin because the camera work/cinematography totally robbed him of his due glory and I couldn't subject you to that frustration.
I don't own any of this, I just love his playing and I feel he is criminally underrated. I'm so sick of Randy and Zakk fans dissing him. He deserves way more respect than he's given because he's a fucking monster.
Hopefully this doesn't get blocked. Here are sources I used, and I ESPECIALLY recommend that Dortmund concert. Carmine Appice is a guest drummer and the band is totally on fire:
• Ozzy Osbourne/Jake E L...
• Ozzy Osbourne - Salt L...
• Video
Btw the thumbnail is kinda a silly mashup meme I made of Jake and Robert E Lee lol... just thought it was funny and looked cool, obviously Jake isn't a piece of shit and I don't seriously associate him with that. Be civil and positive towards each other in the comments or gtfo. Spread the gospel of Jake my friends.
Everyone automatically goes to the Randy Rhoad’s solo’s (or Zack Wilde) when talking about Ozzy’s guitar players but Bark at the Moon has some of the best written solo’s that you’ll ever hear.
Jake E Lee is so underrated.
Great video 👍.
Rhoads is the name.
@@jurgencuypers8350 • Yup, my bad.
Yeah I think bark has the best Ozzy solos
Absolutely, Jake Solo’s are way more intricate to play than Both Randy and Zak.
@@michaelmiglino6512 craziest part about Jake’s playing imo is whenever he does those crazy tricks like the harmonics and pulling the neck and pressing the string behind the nut and releasing it while also pushing the neck making dive bombs without a bar. And he was and is extremely technical down to the tonal effect of using different kinds of batteries in a pedal board, or slanting his pickups to match how Jimi Hendrix had his pickups just to get ‘slightly more fat sounding’ bottom strings and ‘slightly more bite’ from the wound strings. Randy’s the neoclassical guitar lord, Jake’s the mad scientist guitar ninja who partly reminds me of the other 80s shredders of the time, but yet he’s just different for some reason. He’s better than an 80s shredder, and Zakk’s the chicken pickin blues viking.
I know Randy wrote those solos but the confidence and execution of Jake is unreal. He improvises and toys a little with Randy's solos and it sounds amazing. Also he probably has the best stage presence of and rock/metal player. just in complete control
Have you heard of Dimebag
@WDCTransportation-n5v yes. How is that relevant? Just really different guitar players
What else can be said. Dude is a monster and grossly underrated. Should be in any conversation about Randy,Eddie, Nuno orJimi
I know of one more that should be in your list.
YES !!! 💯🤙❤️🇨🇦
Jake was my favorite of all the ozzy guitarists .
Same.
He by far had the best control and most original style.
im not saying you are wrong but mine is randy rhoads
Randy Rhoads was my favorite. Saw him on the "Diary of a Madman" tour. Also got to see the badass Jake E Lee on the "Bark at the Moon" tour. That tour was the only time I saw Motley Crue live as they opened the show. Never liked Motley and they were lousy that night. I also swear that I heard no Bass during that performance. Tommy Lee showed promise, but I mostly heard Mick Mars' third-rate guitar playing and Vince Neil's whiny vocals. Turned me off of them for good that night in 1984...
I love 'em all but my all time favorite is Randy,Jake and Zakk😂😂😂😂
I was fortunate enough to see Jake and Randy both.. awesome…
his own style ,his own music ,his own genius talking on that CHARVEL,HE AMAZES
It’s actually a fender Strat originally sunburst. His friend worked at the finish shop for charvel and for a bday present painted the strat for Jake and put on the charvel logo on the head stock.
His own music,most of those were randy songs
@@leedouglass9636 some weren't, jake saved ozzy's ass its that simple,he was way to high to give three shakes in those days,randy died weirdly and jake took the reins with daisley its all history now,shot in the dark showed the world jake was talent
@@strattuner yes he did,and I’m taken anything away from jake,he’s one of my favorite guitarists,but most of the music being played when he was with Ozzie was either Randy’s or sabbaths.
@@leedouglass9636 negative him and bob daisley and the drummer wrote two albums with ozz doing nothing but mic work,research it,there are many aware of his prowess on a guitar,i think he is a genius,and i know RANDY RHOADS WAS,now it said it,randy saw more
Not a bad thing can be said about jakes guitar playing. Absolutely mind blowing
I saw the Ultimate Sin tour when it came to Market Square Arena in Indy. Jake is such a badass. Many guitarist can sound good in the studio, but live in front of 44,000 people is a whole other level.
Man, I'd kill for a pro-shot video of that concert! I've heard great things about it.
Jake has the best left hand and right hand combination in the history of rock. Nobody even close.
I just saw him activate every possible harmonic on the instrument 🤯
One of my all-time favorite players- nobody attacks a guitar the way he does
And nobody attacked Jake like Ozzy did, trying to rip off Jake's scalp and ruin the solos in between when he wasn't trying to bankrupt Jake 😂😥
Not only incredibly technically proficient, but had a special way of bringing the best out of Ozzy with his songwriting skills."Bark at the moon "and "The ultimate sin "were by far best albums of Ozzy's carrer.
I think those albums forced Ozzy out of his comfort zone a little bit at the time and I believe Jake kept Ozzy alive because the metal scene at the time (83-87) was faaar from the type of sound that Randy gave Ozzy.
Bark of the moon was a good album but definitely not ultimate sin. No way his best solo albums nothing will beat blizzard of oz. Not a bad song on it
Sad this hasn't gotten more views after a year. Jake is still under rated as a guitarist and performer. Thank you for posting this.
Dude I don't even know how tf it's suddenly getting all these views now lol. Where did yall come from??? I thought Jake's birthday was like a few weeks ago, but just in the last 3-4 days like 90% of the comments and views have been racked up. Someone must have shared it or something... but I have no idea who.
@@CelestialInferno • The algorithm is slow but it does its job eventually, at least it didn’t take 6 years for the algorithm to finally do its job, LoL.
Great video mate.
@@CelestialInferno saw Jake on the Ultimate Sin tour in '86. He was and is brilliant
@@CelestialInferno JAKE E LEE IS ONE OF THE GREATEST GUITARISTS WHO EVER TUNED UP,imo he is in the top 10 in the world of rock,he's still writing a torturing that CHARVEL i think he had to get a couple more,he loves bending the neck and they are only wood,my strat lives a much quieter life just chording
@@greenslider yeah he was, so was Metallica whom I had never heard of before that night.
Jake could put more energy and talent into one solo, than some did their entire set. He really put on a show!
Obviously the most spectacular and exciting player Ozzy ever had...and also the most fun guy. Ozzy never looked happier on stage...
... until Ozzy screwed up. He and Ms. Wench Central blew away a great thing.
Hands down the guy that took technique, tricks, and licks from the greatest and made it his own voice that spoke with his guitar.
A true musician that was giving every shredder back in the day a run for their money, even Yngwie, because Jake was an overall well rounded player and never stuck to some certain style or technique that categorized him. Jake was in a category all in his own and that's what every guitar player strives to accomplish in the end. Good for you Jake, you reached that area only few have been.
I find that Yngwie just sounds like a collection of etudes and all fretting hand. Lee's solos had a purpose and really highlighted his picking hand. You could really hear him wacking the strings with the pick. Great player.
Jake will always be my absolute favorite player. He is a complete beast and Ive been lucky enough to meet him several times...great guy.
People always talk about great guitartist of this time, n always leave out Jake sandwiched between Randy n Zack he could hang with all of them n play better then most, they should be talking about him instead overrated George Lynch n the boring Paul Gilbert, seen him twice with Badlands at the coach house in Cali non stop shred never missing the early death of Ray Gillian was a bummer!
Totally agree
Next to Randy, my fav of all Ozzy virtuoso guitarists. He didn’t use tremolo and seemed to have such tremendous range and could play everything seemingly effortlessly, just among the best ever. And is rarely considered among that group but should be.
I love how Jake keeps the essence of Randy’s solos but puts his own stamp on it too. Ballsy move considering how soon this was after Randy’s death
Jake is why Ozzy popular in 80’s. His look, style is what bridged ozzys “darker sabbath like metal” to the ‘80s flamboyance and distinctive sound. I idolize Randy but no better replacement at time. I dare say on absolute shred scale, Jake prevails.
What an absolute beast. As much of a legend as Randy is, and deservedly so, Jake is my favorite Ozzy guitarist. Incredibly clean live player. And Badlands?? I mean cmon!
I love Jake but Randy all the way for me, two guys that really made me want to play were Randy and Brian May,,,,,,,,,, and David Gilmore lol.
Badlands was phenomenal !
Saw badlands live for voodoo highway tour . Complete awesomeness. Jakes tones and stage personality and sassy charisma his unique technique. The songs and the bands groovy ness wow . They were insanely underrated.
Jake had so much fire and intensity in his playing. His riffs were great his technique was on point....he gets overlooked alot as a guitarist because of following Randy
My favorite guitarist Mr. Jake E. Lee
my favourite Ozzy guitarist. The Ultimate Sin is my favourite Oz album. Jake is the man!
He had an incredibly natural swagger & method to his style... amazingly original... his badlands stuff was also killer.
I wanna make a second video with all his Badlands solos too actually. I gotta finish that shit lol.
Please please please
@@CelestialInfernoplease
Badlands was the shizz
オジ―の歴代ギタリストは、それぞれに魅力があるが、天才的な技巧派のランディの曲をライブで再現ができ、さらに次のアルバムで発展させたジェイクの苦労は並大抵のことではなかったと思う。この当時のオジ―は精神的に不安定で、ジェイクに対する態度は良くなかったと伝え聞く。苦労ばかりの中で、このすばらしいプレイ。なかなかできることではない。とにかく素晴らしいギタリストだとおもいます。
One of the most underrated guitarist ever. What a Fn beast
The stretch at the end of the bark at the moon solo is absolutely insane to pull off live. Jake is a god
People with normal hands play the f on the lower string
I'm not even a guitar guy and that just blew me away. Just mind-boggling how good he is. We'll never see arena rock with guitar heroes like that again.
Still my favorite guitar player of all time! For me Jake had/has it all.
I love Jake' s rendition on Randy's solos. He puts so much feel on that iconic solos
Jake one of my all time favorite guitarists. He is amazing!
Jakes command of the fretboard is at an all time high here. Saw him on the TUS tour and Jake was mind blowing, at the top of his game. At that show at the Worcester centrum in Massachusetts, he got pulled into the crowd guitar and all after he dangled his guitar neck out over the crowd during the solo to 'I don't know'. Bodyguards and security rushed in and eventually got him back up on stage. He tried to resume the solo where he left off, however his guitar was horribly out of tune. He took off his guitar at that point and threw it clear across the stage where it slid up underneath a drum riser whilst feeding back at about 120 DB. There was about a five minute clap along with Bass and Drums until he finally reappeared with another guitar, and just slayed the remainder of the show. Every once in a while, Jake would walk up to the area of the stage where the mishap took place and flip a bird to the guy or guys that pulled him off stage,,,all while shredding solos out note for note.
What a magical time. I'll never forget it.
I saw that tour in Detroit Metallica opened for Ozzy the drum riser and ozzys monster throne got stuck up in the rafters for 3 songs LOL Ozzy was pissed when he finally came down.
I could watch hours of this. Jake's my all time favorite of the big....7or 8 guitarists. There's too many from this era. Thanks for this 👍👍
The Suicide Solution solo from the live 84' show in Salt Lake to this day blows my friggin mind. It's the part at 7:34 still has me shaking my head.
Incredible
I wouldn't say JEL is underrated, but certainly not rated high enough. One of my absolute favorites all time to this day.
Not rated high enough is literally what it means to be underrated, Jimbo.
I would say that I am thirsty but I don't need water to quench it , so I drank some water and now my thirst is quenched. Potatoes.
It took balls of steel to change up RRs solos so soon after his death. Jake is arguably the best OZZY guitarist. It’s hard for sure to say even one more album what RR would have done. We would not have had Bark for sure!
An absolute legend and a fantastic player. Managed to convince my dad to get me my first guitar after watching "The Ultimate Ozzy" on VHS as a 10 year old!! Thankfully still playing and still following Jake's career.
Dude I had the same one. I watched Jakes solo so many times the VHS tape was wearing out....
@f23ghost same mate, mine actually packed up in the end. I had the Bark at the Moon VHS too but it was no where near as good. Jakes an absolute star!!!
Jake was at the height of his powers with Badlands.
Total monster, and he did have the best Rock & Roll dance moves ever!!!
Badlands was incredible
@@jimyoung9262 I have a theory about Jake.
I think he’s like Samson, the longer his hair was the more amazing his playing.
You look at those live Badlands shows and his hair was massive,
And at that time there was nobody above him, playing guitar!
@@Daddy53751 I saw badlands and Jake was playing with a cast on his leg
@@SKRooU2 lucky devil!
@@Daddy53751 haha yea and before the show a few of us we're way early in line an ray gillen rip came out and hung out with us drinking some beers. He signed my ticket.
Wow I forgot how awesome Jake E Lee was!!!🎸🎸
Jake wrote/composed, as well as he executed live. Stellar guitarist. Transitions fluently played. He's the type of guitarist that any group is lucky to have, he can just as easily join an established group, and-or design his own, he's just that well rounded. Schon is another stellar highly well rounded guitarist, equilvent to Jake. Never become bored within either schon or lee. Makes Felix the cat tricks seem like amature hour. Seen both live, stellar consistency iconics circuit legacy's. Do not miss any chance to view schon or lee live, you missed once in lifetime legacy's, that will never be replaced.
The great Jake E Lee! LEGEND!
The Centre of Eternity solo 3:28 is just phenomenal how precise he is with every note LIVE. I was a huge fan of RR and was devastated when I heard he died. Wasn't crazy about the Brad Gillis era and all the Black Sabbath rehashing Ozzy was doing. When I heard those first two chords on the Bark at the Moon album and then the solo I was floored. He had his own style, sound and tone which was decidedly not Randy's. He did the impossible replacing a guitar hero and legend and making Ozzy even better than he had been.
I always love the Bark at the Moon album and anything that Jake did.
Just insane how great he was live, holy shit!
I saw the ultimate sin tour at the Philadelphia Spectrum
If EVH ever was asked to critique or praise any of Jakes solos, which might remind EVH of himself, i bet you that Center of Eternity solo might be the one! it just is mindblowing!
Oh, Holy --Awesome! Jake E. Lee.
Pone el alma en cada nota, como nadie. Imposible que otros lo copien, él es único. ❤
He’s amazing period. In my opinion the best I’ve ever heard and seen. He looks cool playing too. I like that guitar too.
The Kamikaze mark on his right thigh Jake's mom is a Japanese. He also took classical piano when little such a geniune guitarist all time favorite!
Love his energy, feel, tone, his performances were flawless. It’s just unfair to compare him to Randy. Randy got to compose many of Ozzy’s main hits, and his playing was more influential. All respect to Jake and Randy.
Jake deserves more respect in the world of rock musicians, and more praise for his SONGWRITING SKILLS!
The underrated thing cracks me up. He was on all the guitar mag covers and had interviews all the time. He is known as one of the greatest guitar players of the eighties and beyond. A guitar player’s guitarist.
For sure. If you played, you knew Jake was a badass. I saw him on those tours back then and everyone was in awe of that dude. Still is a badass to this day.
Jake is beyond amazing. And seeing these are taken from the Salt Lake City show brings back such great memories. I was there and it was mind blowing. And with Motley opening in their heyday. One of the, if not the best shows ever. Thank for uploading!
Yup, I was there.
The good ol days.
I wish I could have uploaded all the solos damn... lots of copyright issues. I think I'm gonna put up a sequel with tons of Badlands solos included as well. I've just gotten distracted lol
Hi, Eric. You know man, I have already tried to like Motley by listening to their stuffs, but honestly I did not like this band. Sometimes the song begins ok with cool riffs, some good progression but then it gets the most boring thing for me. Don't like the vocal nor the instrumental parts in general. Whenever I see or hear someone saying that likes Motley Crue I always ask myself: what do people feel of good in their music that I just cannot achieve and notice?
@alexander fernandes valu I can understand you're perspective. I don't think critically, most people are going to say Motley are the most talented, skilled musicians or band. It's really all about the feeling they create. They've always kind of been a band that the total is more than the sum of its parts. If it's not something you're into, then you probably never will be. That's ok. I will say I find the older records more interesting and fun and easy to get into. Then it became more certain songs than entire records, which I think kind of supports your commennt...comment... moments, then lose interest. The Corabi record was the best thing they did after awhile. And honestly, I lost interest by the time their newest material came out. But for me, those first two records were just pure magic.
@@SonicVR12 Name the stuffs by Motley that you consider fine that I should try...
The thing I love most about Jake’s playing is it wasn’t real predictable where he was going next. It is always interesting to listen to whether it’s with Ozzy, Badlands, or Red Dragon Cartel.
Dope!
That kind of music is so difficult to play without a whammy bar. RR did it too, but listening to Jake E it sounds like he’s using one throughout. I’ve tried the headstock pull to get dives and stuff like he did but it doesn’t work for me at all. Jake E Lee is a master.
use a bar !!! Jake had endorsements and guitar techs !! That stuff will destroy your guitar in a heartbeat ! LMAO
Jake the BEAST!!! What an amazing player that deserved much much more than he got!!! I’m telling ya, he was right up there with anyone!
Bark at the moon Jakes solo is beyond amazing. A true guitar wizard !
10:43 what every real Jake E Lee fan came to see. Again. For the ten millionth time. 😉
Got that vid on VHS and digital ( on my 'puter and backed up to a drive ). I will never ever NOT have access to that whole concert ! I must have watched it , beginning to end , at LEAST 50 times by now and couldn't even count how many times I've watched just that solo section , lol.
Outstanding guitarist
Definitely a great guitarist, so many facets to his playing, equally good as Randy, tho different tone
While I love Randy Rhoads and everything he did Jake has always been and will always be my favorite Ozzy guitarist. I wish he would go back to playing metal again.
My favorite Ozzy guitar player!
Saw the Bark at the Moon Tour. (And Ultimate Sin) Jake was so amazing. Carmine was always one of my favorite drummers. I would kill to have a live recording with Carmine and Jake.
I saw both of those tours in Sacramento. Jake was even more amazing live.
Jake is a beast! Wish Oz kept him.
He would have had he not married Sharon.
Jake is a Amazing Guitar player, he pulls off All the tricks that others need a Whammy bar for ... 🤟😎🎸🔥🔥🔥
Randy was the maestro composer but Jake's solos are on another level. His live lead playing is on fire, crazy sick vibrato. Best lead player ozzy has had in the band
He's the only one to nail the randy solo's as well. This guy is in the sweet spot 4 everything. I would say, he's one of the most well rounded players to ever do it. A perfect blend of technique meets emotion for sure:)
Such a kick ass guitar player
Soo under rated. Yes was definitely Ozzy's best guitarist with Brad Gill at a "very close" second. By a nose
A true master he is!
Whoever put this video together is a Legend too. Jake was the most awesomest guitarist ever - he's in my top 5 favorites of all time for sure. Dont get why this vid has so few views .. why people forgotten Jake? - Never a boring note with Jake ... like never ... #creative genius
Never seen Carmine played with Ozzy, thanks for sharing
A bit underrated, but one of the best early 80’s shredders.
Dude I think he’s actually the same level as Eddie Van Halen , HE DOESNT EVEN HAVE A FUCKING WHAMMY BAR
8:49 yea, um, Boss - we're gonna have a fuckin issue...
13:52. Same.
El mejor guitarrista de Ozzy! Qué talento, que fuerza, sentimiento. Brutal! Lo tenía todo!!!❤
Have to agree with alot of these comments Jake is my favorite one of my top guitar players along with George lynch Warren chris oliva and the great gary Moore o and John Sykes
Jake E Lee must be the most underrated guitarist in the Metal history. He was playing like a live volcano with tremendous energy.
Fired for wanting his Songwriting Royalties.
All hail Jake E Lee!!
My second favorite Ozzy guitarist behind Randy and I was lucky enough to see both play live....incredible!! 🤘🏻🤘🏻
great comp here- Jake is one o my absolute faves. Thanks!
Honestly, Jake was Ozzys best Guitarist. Very clean sound and very tight. Randy was great, no doubt, but some of his live stuff would be a bit sloppy. Just my opinion.
Randy Rhoads Tribute album is tight as fuck!. I never knew of Rhandy ever being sloppy, but Jake does kick ass.
Jake is by far the best, I don't if he was the best composer, you know Randy's Riffs and solos are the most known, just like Zakk Wylde's, even tho bark at the moon is a master piece..
I'm with you
Totally agree! Jake was ozzys best by far! Bark at the moon solo says it all!
@@tonydupree5623 And plus Jake had to hold the band together, especially during Ultimate Sin when Ozzy had lapsed back into heavy drug and alcohol use. Jake basically wrote that whole album, and then got screwed out of publishing rights by Sharon.
......and not a single Badlands track??????
Woah... Okay I'm sorry yall lol. I didn't realize anyone was still viewing this. YT butchered the damn thing no less than 5 times for copyright claims. But in response to that I started working on a beefed up version WITH tons of favorite Badlands solos to compensate for the Ozzman solos I was unable to find to replace the Ultimate Sin tour material. I was able to find all bit 3 I think, so I really fell down a rabbit hole and added like 10 Badland's solos lol. I was gonna add some Red Dragon Cartel shit too actually but I got distracted. I have no earthly idea how this is suddenly getting all this attention like a year later. wild lol. I'll try to upload the sequel... or... 1.5 rather very soon. Should be at least another 3-7 minutes of material or so I think.
@@CelestialInferno thanks for uploading Jake is a mindblowing guitarist ...that solo during Suiside Solution has to be one of the best live performances ever. He was royalty ripped off by Ozzy and Sharon but Jake is a lurvly human being .I'll be looking out for more of your uploads.thanks from Scotland
Jake e Lee, simplemente genial, de los mejores guitarristas de los 80-90. Infravalorado, como Warren de Martini y John Sykes, los tres tenían que estar más valorados.
An interview with Randy Rhodes 2022 on Jake E Lee...Would go like this!
Guitar Magazine:Hey Randy Let's talk JakeELee for a moment and your thoughts on his style and approach on your tunes with Ozzy
Randy:Oh Jeesz..I'll start by saying I'm probably Jake's biggest fan and I've learned alot from him.His style and out of box thinking puts him in a league of his own.I was an instant fan when Oz sent me Pre release Bark at the moon..
I told Oz..You got the right guy man,The worlds gonna love this dude.
Randy:I know I dig him!
Guitar Mag:What your thoughts on Jake's approach to songs from your time with Ozzy?
Randy:We as guitar players may innovate but it's up to upcoming players to evolve that style and pass torch..
Randy:When I was working with Jackson guitars they mentioned This guy Jake interested in a Charvel is next guy to watch for.They weren't kidding.
Randy:looking back if I were to die at a young age I hope Jake would be there to grab the torch....Randy Rhodes
Saw him twice with Ozzy, great live player..
Bark at the moon is such a great solo that it rivals Randy’s best.
I never saw Randy live, but I was lucky enough to see Jake in ‘86 and with his band Badlands in I believe’90.
Phenomenal player.
The outro is my favorite
I’m glad he didn’t just try to be Randy. He’s one of the best guitarist ever, and I even think he’s better than Zakk. Jake always looks like he’s putting everything he has into what he’s playing.
I think he was better than Zakk when he was in his prime for sure. But Zakk has actually improved quiteeee a bit in the last decade and he is like Insanely good these days. Just time warping licks. But with that said, Jake's phrasing still speaks to me more and while like... ever so slightly slower comparing Zakk today vs Jake in his prime, Jake just had way cooler licks and still a much more diverse bag of tricks. I think he had a larger melodic and harmonic vocabulary, if you will. It's almost a silly argument though lol. I have so much love and respect for them both. I really hope Jake gets his chops 111% back though. He might not be feeling he needs to... like he certainly doesn't have anything to prove. But I think he totally could. His song writing is still totally on point.
@@CelestialInferno There’s a few interviews where Zakk said when he joined Ozzy’s band, he basically forced himself to limit the amount of notes he’d play in a scale to make himself not sound like every other guitarist who was playing 3 notes on each string of a scale. It forced him to be more creative with what he was playing and gave him a distinct sound from everybody else.
@@johnnymoon you mean that cringey pinched harmonic squeal? Lmao
@@SKRooU2 to be fair he’s not the only guitarist who does that and I’ve heard others do it way worse. Go check out Danzig’s cover of N.I.B.
@@johnnymoon haha wow that was a horrific cover lol
Next to Randy Jake E Lee is right up there top guitar players in the world is still kicking ass and so innovative when he was with Ozzy one of my favorites guitar players ...
Jake and Zack were better than Randy Randy was good and had his own style but you can't compare them at 21 years old Zack Wylde was a better guitarist at 17 jakey Lee was the best is the best Zack kind of caught up with him but Jake my God he comes up with some s*** and if you know anything about music in a year or guitarist you would understand otherwise you just probably talking out your ass cuz everybody says Randy Randy Randy Randy was good but he wasn't the best and it's a tragedy what happened to him because he was beautiful person and he didn't really want to be on tour either what happened is Jackie Lee is they didn't want to give him credits for his music and Sharon wanted him out of there because they wanted it all to be Ozzy just like she did with iron maiden when they were touring together she's a piece of crap when it comes to that I do give her credit though cuz she brought Ozzy out of a depression and now we have this beautiful music but she's still kind of a garbage person
Ozzy
Badlands
RDC
Jake always delivers. Wish there was more.
He did some cool blues shows with Wicked Alliance. The concerts are available on UA-cam.
Jake had killer chops, fretboard knowledge, and a great Charvel + Marshall tone. To me, as a guitarist, he was the best hard rock/metal guitar player that Ozzy had, in therms of dominating the instrument and having knowledge of great licks. He's my favourite anyway.
The very end when Ozzy threw him.
A FORESHADOWING.
My Top 5 would be EVH, Randy Rhoads, George Lynch, Criss Oliva and of course Jake E. Lee. Ozzy years were of course great but i am more of a Badlands fan when it comes to Jake's playing. His Mr.Crowley solos i thought were amazing and on par with the original as far as quality. Love Jake.
My top 5 in no particular order
George Lynch
Warren DeMartini
Nuno Bettencourt
Randy Rhoads
Marty Friedman/Chris Poland(depends on the day!)
@@inspectorbudget great list. Warren is in my top 10 and Nuno is amazing. Love his playing. I still have the Friedman/Becker Cacophony cd somewhere. So many great players.
@@inspectorbudget yup. For me it's Dimartini, Lynch and Lee
@@inspectorbudget you left out #1 evh
@@SKRooU2 My bad! Glaring omission. Thanks for reminding me!
my favorite
Well done, always one of my favourites. Did Randy and Tony proud. Has the utmost respect from Zakk.....Watching Jake is like a master class in 1980s Rock guitar techniques, although he always managed to do it "his way."....Especially the "I don't need a stinkin' Floyd Rose Bag of Tricks" he was forever conjuring up. One interesting example was one thing you pointed out called "chromatic sweeps."...Well I get what you mean, but this is where things get interesting with Jake. Back in the day "Sweep" picking was also known as "string raking." This was before Ynqwie hit the scene big and made it mandatory technique. Jake says in an interview that when he was really getting into guitar he stumbled across an article about something called "circular picking"...Of course that was more or less economy picking or alternate picking. ....BUT....Jake read the article wrong. (his words) He took it as you were supposed to move the ENTIRE hand in a circular "sweeping" motion. It sounds different and looks different. It sounds different because while he is moving his pick he is hitting different harmonic frequencies rather than picking at only one spot. (sort of pick harmonic territory). It looks different because the whole hand moves in a circular motion. He does it in his "Big Solo and also as well as on other solo's. ....When he finally hit it big with Ozzy, players and interviewers would ask about his "sweep picking" technique. Jake was puzzled as he didn't think he did it. Then they pointed out to him his technique that he called "circular picking" (which was actually wrong)...."Oh, you mean THAT" Jake replied. But he had perfected it by this point and was a part of his bag of tricks....So he went along with calling it "sweeping" and said it was his funny way of "sweep picking" even though it was totally by accident.....Isn't Jake awesome?. I have typed enough for now, but one day we can talk about his "thumb on the fretboard technique" and where that came from...(Hint, it is all warren DeMartini's fault...haha)...cheers, Subscribed , thanks for listening.
I love when he does that circular picking. Totally original too. He's the best.
@@Scottocaster6668 He influenced me moving my volume pot away from my picking hand, and that I really didn't need a Floyd Rose on my Strat. (I do have other Non-Jake Stat's)...but yes. Once I had my Start setup with Hard tail bridge and move the volume pot down my love of Strat's grew. What a player AND innovator.
@@algrundau9441 That makes sense. Strat volume knobs are too close, now that you mentioned it. I have 2.
Jake is so versatile of a player. He can immediately switch from blue's to jazz to rockabilly in a blink of an eye. Now that's good.
@@Scottocaster6668 Well, some guys have absolutely mastered that volume knob,/bar in hand/pickup switch thing (Jeff Beck, Yngwie, Eric Johnson).....Not me yet.
@@Scottocaster6668 As far as Jake's versatility. He was a classically trained pianist.Was in Country and Disco bands pre-Ratt/Ozzy believe it or not.Very versatile
He is so badass, a guitar god
This is some of the best footage and playing I've seen of Jake. Great job getting this up! I enjoyed it.
Very very nice see and hear real super guitar legendary solos!!!!! Fantastish sincere play!!!
Bad-ass guitarist
Jake the SNAKE. '83?? Who was better? What a monster. Love DeMartini but Jake was so insanely creative..
Yep. For me the holt trinity was Dimartini, Lynch and Jake but Jake just always brought that little bit more from God knows where. Even his rhythm was mesmerising
I love his Red Dragon Cartel stuff. His solo on deceiver is quite unique.
Jake's interpretation of Randy's solos are by far better than anyone else ever did. Of course his unique solos from his own songs were always great. Too bad he didn't keep those chops as sharp after Ozzy.
Legendary Randy Rhoads and Jake E. Lee Solos
I was i awe of Randy but Jake was much more talking to me stylistically, he was so beastly ferocious and super emotional at the same time! I tried not to copy anyone note for note, but Jakes attitude in playing was definitely a heavy influence.
