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!!!

Burn by Deep Purple
Jake E. Lee never gets enough appreciation. Monster player.
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.
@@kevins.3825 Why would anyone expect Warren and Jake to sound alike simply because they lived in the same house?
@@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.
@@kevins.3825 yeah Sharon really screwed Jake over she remixed everything Jake played on screwing him out of an royalties, Jake had some big shoes to fill coming in right after the passing of Randy kept ozzy going which we're probably some hard shows because the people we're screaming wanted Randy, Randy was an extremely talented guitarist Jake pulled it off, he never deserved what Sharon pulled, I like ozzy but Sharon is a freaking cut throat gready ass manager makes it worse being his wife.
You are right about it !
No one anywhere ever has done more concise and accurate transcriptions than Ben Eller. Real master at transcribing.
You’re too kind!
@@BenEller he’s all too right. No one has actually made learning music as fun and as fresh as you do.
You're right about that - perfect pacing, simple explanations, no filler. If you follow the instructions in these videos, you'll be playing these songs dead nuts on. 100/100 :D
You sir, are a legend.
You're a legend too, 'cause you're a f*cking good guitar player as well. 👍👏
Indeed! Thanks to Ben for those harmonies, Saved me some time figuring them out! Here's my version in time for Halloween! Cheers! ruclips.net/video/IlCoBhF1tgY/видео.html
Uncle Ben is like Big Ben, boys and girls - he keeps the time and that’s extremely important.
It can't be overstated. The 80's had the most incredible guitar talents the world has ever seen. Nothing like it in the last 30 years.
check out brandon ellis
I don't want to undersell the 80s players, but the modern world is also full of virtuoso guitarists
Tosin Abasi, Steven Taranto, et al.
@@FriedMetroid agree 👍
Don’t forget about dime
Jake's a genius...the layering in that song...the level of detail to melody. he basically wrote Ozzy a timeless classic....
His unique sense of timing, taking simple sounds but playing then in difficult ways, those simple triads that sound so good...he really is incredible. Easily on par with Randy Rhoads, in retrospect.
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.
@@metalmike570 Ozzy's ultimate sin was firing Jake, he was his best guitarist. And TUS is great and a guitar's clinic!
@@livingbeing1113 I'll check it out again I remember it was a double-platinum in just over a year. A commercial success no doubt about it.
Shout out to Uncle Ben for starting off with stepdad speed so I don't start off instantly feeling awful about my life choices!
One of my favorite songs to play. Now I get to learn how much of it I've been doing wrong all these years.
This lesson is glorious. It’s so great to know that my uncle step dad is here for me
He’s your uncle/stepdad you lucky fukk
I've been playing this song for 15 years, never put in the effort to learn it fully. This just might tip me over the edge. Friggin awesome!
Just did my firs rundown of your lesson, this really is amazing Ben!
Jake E is one of my favourite underated guitarists. super shredding skills but so much bluesy swagger.
Man this is IMHO the hardest Ozzy song to play, tougher than Mr Crowley. So many different skills involved. I've been trying to play this song for a very LONG time, but never could nail the solo correctly, especially those 16th runs. Thanks for the lesson Uncle Ben!
God, Lee is so damn good. Not enough love for his work
Hearing this soloed is a reminder of what melodic genius Jake is. Beautiful riffs.
Hey cool, I'm "somebody" LOL that's my pic from an old Young Guitar mag of Jake's 1986 pedalboard. The flanger is a Boss BF-2 and if you point all the knobs at the LED 1 o'clock, 1 o'clock, 11 o'clock, 11 o'clock you get Jake's flanger sound. Always happy to see a break down on the intricacies of Jake's playing since I never get tired of it and have obsessed over it for years. It's the 35th anniversary of Ultimate Sin this year, perfect time to dive into a lesser covered song from that. Or even just showing people how he does the "bomb sound" trick near the end of Thank God For the Bomb which is also heard on the Deceived solo from the first RDC album could be a cool quick video too....if you can figure it out haha. Challenged.
Dude!!!! That is too cool, what a small world. Thanks for the pic, wish I could go back and credit you in the video!
Uncle Ben....this is insane...I’ve been working on this for the past 2 wks...this song is incredibly hard to play properly...you can’t appreciate it until you sit down and try to play it...rock on my brother!!!!!
Talking about coincidence, I had this song stuck in my head for the last couple of days.
Gotta say everytime I want to learn to play something correctly.. I look for your channel first. Thanks
thanks dude!!!
I never tried to learn this song but it looks like it's a pain in the ass to endure the whole thing with no mistakes.
oh it is! also, its worth it!
@@BenEller Some days I really dislike how you so easily motivate me to try guitar pieces that are way beyond my ability! Thank you and "damn it, Dude!" all at once... PS - the clip where you crack your knuckles - absolute gold!
This song just went from the most mysterious to the most in-depthly explained on youtube
Interesting how a song this 'vintage' is still revered as one of virtuosity. Not only do you recognize godlike guitar monstrosity, Uncle B, you actually own it.
You're exactly right he is a legend he just don't know really how good he actually is he gives everybody all these props and he up talks everyone but his self which makes him that much more great because he's so humble
I was just looking to play this song, so strange
Jake is such an underrated guitarist, especially the stuff he did with Badlands.
I can't fathom where I would be today if I had access to such guitar tuitions when I was a teenager. Back then, all you had was you and you alone. You had to figure out by yourself what the guy was playing and how he played it.
Honestly that has merritt in and of itself
And you had to keep dropping the needle over and over to catch the riff.
@@Guitaroverkill Wow good point, I never had that experience but I keep re-playing sections of songs without tabs on the computer... so spoiled to just move the slider back and hit play again.
@@timeslowingdown And we use to have to walk to school and carry our own lunch and books without a backpack.
I've been there before, I know what you ment
Wow, you've outdone yourself
Best teacher!! One of the "cleanest" players on RUclips 🤘🏻🤘🏻
I could do another year in quarantine just working with Uncle Ben's lessons
That's right, he Is one of the best teachers of guitar
I did not think this day would ever come, thanks Uncle Ben, we got a lot of work to do.
its all for you guys!
Just when I think I've learnt this song to a decent standard, Uncle Ben hits me with a 38 minute video on why I in fact have not 😄
I’m am with you,it’s prescision
i was listening to the isolated guitar track for this the other day and was like "damn, uncle ben should break this down for all the step dads out there" and lo and behold, he did!
Thanks. I needed this. I have been trying to play this song correctly for over 25 years.
finally the secrets are revealed
Such a great guitar player! Jake really did a great job in coming in and helping move Ozzy's carrer along. I never knew how much voicing he did in this song.
Rumour has it that Sharon cheated Jake out of all this publishing rights to the album, even though he wrote almost all the music.
@@klauswigsmith It's unfortunately not just a rumour; he really didn't get any songwriting credits for any song on BATM. 😖
@@perpetualbystander4516 And no songwriting credits means no royalties.
Does Sharon really think anyone thinks Ozzy wrote 100% of the masterpiece that is Bark at the Moon?
@@klauswigsmith I don't think she gave (and still doesn't give) a f*ck what anyone thinks about the odds that Ozzy wrote all the guitar parts. 🤬
@@perpetualbystander4516 Just losing millions of dollars... it taints the music for me
That bridge riff is my favorite riff of all time
Consistently the best transcription-ist on RUclips. I love the details that you labor over until it's perfect. It's exactly how I would do it, if I was actually talented enough. Just awesome Ben!
Now Zakk can learn to play it correctly.
I don' t know how people Think over Z.W as the greatest guitarrist, without giving the proper credit to the real great Jake E. Lee
Randy Rhoads did not play his own songs verbatim (Guitar World, August 1999, p. 123), so why would Zakk Wylde play Jake E. Lee's songs verbatim?
Zakk is the definition of mediocre masquerading as good
@@CD-gk9ix DAMN 🔥
😂😂😂😂😂
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/
True words I feel your truth similar age . Boy was it hard back in the day . Listening over and over just to nail something. The satisfaction was other worldly once you grasped it . Good times
my fave Ozzy guitarist. His first 2 Badlands album are fantastic, really bluesy
I played those absolutely non-stop for 10 years after they came out. I was obsessed with learning every note lol
@@derekm3180 When I heard the singer died so young I was shocked. I didn't hear about it when it happened, I heard about it in 2000 or maybe even later.
Absolutely, my favorite Oz guitarist and Badlands is the most underrated band of the 80's! I love their debut but like Voodoo Highway even more... 2 masterpieces!
I hate how underrated JEL is as a guitarist.
Just listen to BATM and Sin and you can hear just how fucking creative of a riff writer he is. He has some of the best riff writing sensibilities I've ever heard.
always so much attitude and technique together, really interesting note choices, and has those crazy stretches and barring with the thumb, getting bar sounds with no bar... Jake is the shit and I agree with you totally!
I totally agree. I love Bark, but Ultimate is where Jake just truly shines. So many little riffs and fills, my fav Ozzy album of them all.
Uncle Ben + Jake E Lee= 🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻
I'd love to see Uncle Ben get an interview going to cover some of these Jake E Lee mysteries, Shot in the Dark and Rock N Roll Rebel also have a lot off odd licks that never seem tabbed completely right.
Yes!!!! Love those two songs!!!
This is just the greatest deep dive EVER. It doesn't let up until the very last note! Thanks again!
When songs were incredible well done, full of nice details and cool stuff - without sounding exaggerated.
Thanks for the lesson and specially the last solo with no stretches
Ben you're literally a human metronome!!That was incredible!!
Might take me a couple years, but I'm definitely going to learn this song lol
These riffs are killer. Well done Uncle Ben!
Im playing this song live for the first time, Friday in Buda, Texas. Pray for me Ben.
How did it go?
@@isaiahmarquez9717 I did really well. Good crowd and tons of fun as usual.
Who the hell gave this a thumbs down? You now get to go do Uncle Ben's chores his stepmom listed for him this weekend instead of wishing you could secretly go hole up and practice this amazing supplemental Bark tute.
Hahaha probably somebody that works for the publishing company of those TAB books!
No one escapes thumbs down, no matter if the video is perfect. RUclips employs professional trolls to ensure that won't happen. 😜
There’s idiots,idiots everywhere my friend
This is so friggin sick. I'm so excited to finally learn this song that I've loved since I was just a kid playing Guitar Hero on my Playstation 2. You're making dreams come true! Thank you, Uncle Ben!!!!
Yeah, he does really make dreams come true
Ben you are my absolute favourite for finding the truth behind how songs are played.
Amazing. We need Mr. Crowley next. You are truly a guitar 🎸wizard
oh man that's a great idea
Yer doin' God's work.
Why do I hear this in a old Irish priests accent? 😆
@@isaiahmarquez9717 You actually hear it in your voice but using an old Irish priest's accent
This song is a Masterpiece, the lesson too. Thank you Ben !
Uncle Ben delivers once again! My stepdad approves of this lesson
This is one of them songs you gotta play every day to stay on top of, just like “I’m the One.”
Been scouring youtube for days and getting conflicting tabs and ways to play this; this is by far the best lesson I've seen. Will come here to learn songs from now on 🤘👍
Thanks so much! Glad to help. If it adds to it, Jake has seen this and confirmed that it’s like 95% perfect. Apparently I got some of the positions incorrect on that super buried outro harmony solo. Cool stuff!
Absolutely THE BEST Bark at the Moon lesson on YT, or anywhere else probably.
Yes!! Thank you Lord God of all creation! An updated and accurate lesson on this song. What a guy! Thank you UB! Like really... thank you brother.
Happy memories of seeing jake play this on the ultimate sin tour at the now defunct mayfair ballrooms Newcastle upon Tyne UK..
Thanks very much
Jake E Lee played some brilliant chord inversions on the 2 Ozzy albums he played on, and Bark at the Moon has some of his best!
He wrote a shitload of that material too!
Sometimes I feel like it is heresy for me to "dismiss" Zakk, as he is undoubtedly known as Ozzy's most renowned guitarist. And I love him... don't get me wrong. However, I feel like Jake E. Lee is my guy! Perhaps I just romanticized that era seeing the Bark at the Moon video first, back on Headbangers Ball back in the beginning of my formative years.
Truly one of the greats. By the way, your tone is exceptional in this video!
Thanks, Uncy Bang!
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.
I have it Randy, Jake, and then Zakk. 🤷🏻♂️
Duuuude! 🤘🏻🤘🏻 Ben "The Only Biological Step-Dad" Eller. We appreciate you.
Great breakdown Ben. Jake gets lost in the shuffle too often when it comes to great players but his work with Oz, Badlands and RDC is top notch!
I thought I could play this tune but here’s my biological stepdad to teach me how it’s done... again....
Another Pure Internet Gold Video. * * * * *
Wow, thank you so much. One of my favorite guitar songs of all times. Jake's playing style is so lush and beautiful. You never cease to fully deliver sir, I love this channel.
Again uncle ben teaches us how to play a real banger tune!!
I remember watching the homeschooler in the GERSON documentary called "The beautiful truth", he learned an alternative cancer treatment because he went to investigate himself and was homeschooled. The concept is profound, change education at a young age create sustainable development its so simple. And BTW KILLER LESSON, one of Ben's best. What a tone and squeal too, yeah I heard that.
Best demonstration/live transcription of all time!! Uncle Ben ROCKS!!
Thus why I have maintained Jake was the best guitarist that Ozzy ever had from a riffing and solo perspective. Tone is awesome too, and I remember when Blizzard came out and was a RR fan from then on too. Nice play through Ben.
Ben, your tenacity is appreciated. Thank you!
I’ve literally been watching these for the last week and you give me this! Such perfect timing!
Thank you Ben for this long lesson! As Rocky would say: I appreciate! It's a special song for me. It took me about 2 years to get this solo to a reasonable level, and the very last runs are still over my level. Will give it a new try to your video.
Dear uncle Ben, here! You dropped this.... 👑
Hahaha why thank you!
Just started playing electric again after 10+ years.
I cant thank you enough for this video. Subbed
A great player is Jake. and has to be said, the quality and commitment from O`l Uncle Ben is top. Rock appreciation for the time and your effort put in also. cheers Ben \m/
What an amazing job breaking down in detail this amazing song. And taking the time to beautifully explain it. Love your videos Ben.
I've got the old tab book from 15 years ago and had to throw my own twist to some of the licks due to it not sounding right. I'll be studying this for a week so I can finally perfect my favorite Ozzy song. Thank you, Uncle Ben!
This is a GODSEND! It's the little details you go over (that many other tabs get wrong) that make all the difference in getting this solo down.
Thank you so much for all of these, by far the best, most accurate, and incredibly well taught that even I can understand & sometimes play these! Great song in its entirety, and you definitely NAILED IT!! Thanks again for all of these, greatly appreciated & truly inspiring (definitely has inspired me to play way more over the years since I found your channel).
The Alpha and Omega of BATM lessons! After watching, I think I'll stick to the "So Tired" solo instead. Awesome lesson!
Woke up with a Mattias Eklundh banger and finish work to find Ben pimping one of the greatest riffs of all time.
Fabulous.
"Oh...is that how l played THAT RIFF! Why thankyou Uncle Ben." Jake E Lee
You have filled a huge void lol. I was just thinking the other day “why hasn’t uncle Ben done a tutorial on this song?” Today those wishes were answered
I think you forgot one important thing. And that's the sustaining D note before the main solo begins. However the lesson was amazing!
Sometimes(always) if I don't play a song for a while I forget it. These lessons are great refreshers when jamming with the album makes you feel stupid. Awesome.
Thank you so much. Can't tell you how much I appreciate your work sir. Growing up and learning guitar in the early 90's you pretty much relied on the guitar magazines for tabs, and your ear. Such a game changer!
"Right hand on 'frappe'" - I love it.
the best player in the 80s IMHO....his parts are as COMPLETE as it gets
I have learned so much from you THANK YOU BEN
BEN, your playing is so awesome. Thank you for this.
This is some of your finest work IMO, and is now my #1 favorite RUclips guitar lesson. Many thanks.
Great work and thanks for putting the time in to show the real way Jake plays this one. Epic 🎸😎👍
Thanks so much Uncle Ben!! This lesson is AWESOME!!!
Ben this vid is beyond impressive, it was perfectly executed, your playing was absolutely perfect and I can see you have countless hrs with this song. You're the best RUclips teacher and as far as I'm concerned you own bark at the moon. Thank you sir for decoding all the mysteries of this tune
And thank you so much for the kind words! Cheers!
Fabbo. A lot of work went into finding those notes, nuances and easier workarounds. Thank you!
You guys have it made, I had to learn as much as I could from a radio station and a tape player. Backup, listen again, backup, listen again and so on..
Thank you ben. You are a great guitarist and also an amazing teacher. And i'm sure you are a really nice dude. Thanks a lot for all your hard work!
love you uncle ben 😍😍
Keep blessing us with your killer lessons
We don't deserve you Ben - can't wait to dig further into this one
Thank you, Sir, for this most excellent tutorial! Your time and expertise are greatly appreciated by the guitar playing community, for sure.
