people always say the master of puppets solo is easy, but I could never do it fast enough. makes me never want to pick up my guitar again, but i do, and still try, 24 years later. just wasn't meant to be a solo player i guess.
1986...trying to learn guitar using a Sony boom box. Rewind, play. Rewind, play. Rewind, play. Kids today have no idea how lucky they are to have the phenomenal resource of RUclips! This channel is worth a subscription!
I used to play Bark at 3-5 (3rd and 4th strings, the 5th power chord) 3-4 (flatted 5th) 3-7 (minor 7) back to 3-4 (flatted fifth)... Not correct but easy position wise but at speed is nearly imperceptible as it's still a minor 7 just up an octave! Life made easy axeslinger style!
I learned Bark at the Moon when it first came out. I spent many, many hours hunched over a turn table trying to figure out what he was doing. It was crystal clear Jake was not your typical power chord player. There was A LOT going on in his playing. It was very, very difficult to figure him out because he was using a lot of chord inversions and weird sequences. In many ways, Jake's musical knowledge was just as advanced as Randy's.
Bark at the Moon has some of the best riffs and interesting song structure. I wish you would continue and break down the entire song, solo, and outro solo!! Subscribed and liked...thanks Ben!
5:23 I just wanted to mention, instead of having to do that unneeded stretch between the 10 - 5th fret, you can substitute that 5th fret on the 4th string with 10th fret on the 5th string, it really doesn’t sound any different. It is actually a classic blues chord. Jake always likes to show off with long stretches but I’ve seen him play it live with the Red Dragon Cartel and he even stumbles on it sometimes. I always say work smarter, not harder. I don’t have a very long pinky either, so the way I play it sounds exactly the same but easier to play. Cheers
@@stevejohnston8543 same but you can almost always find another way to play it. Thats why i hate playing hot for teacher, my left hand is totally fried after the intro riff
@@sebastiancamillusnielsen228 Ya we have to make do but it would be nice, like when playing the intro to diary of a madman. Some of those chord shapes make me strain.
When you’re just starting to play Jakes stuff as a guitar novice, there’s ALOT of unfamiliar chord shapes. A lot of uncomfortable stretches and a lot of difficult transitions. But Jake has inspired me to pick the guitar back up for the first time in over a decade. The man is a legend and a guitar genius
I saw Jake explaining his way a while back, never bothered to re-learn until now. Thanks Ben! I found that descending chord sequence easier to play for me by barring the D, G and B strings at the 10th fret with my index, then shifting down to the 9th and adding my pinky back to the 10th fret on the G and B. The position shift felt easier than using either my pinky for the 10th or adding my third like you do at 6.41. Great lesson!
you're the only guitarist teaching that has ever showed how to play something slow enough to comprehend. perfect camera set up. you're awesome brother. thank you. I've always loved this riff.
Well holy hell, now I need to brush up on my Bark At The Moon riffs. I absolutely LOVE all of the little changes Jake puts into this song. Like that riff at 12:41, where he doesn't play it the same way each time around. It's crazy. Probably why it's such an interesting song all around, alongside just sounding so damn good.
ruling, BEN! I love when players can recognize the subtleties and nuances when transcribing music. I am by no means a very skilled player, but I have an ear for tone and key. I'm very into playing something exact, down to the happy accidents and color that finger switching can do over the frets. Awesome work- I look forward to watching many more of your videos!!!
This lesson certainly breaks it down better than any other here on YT. Jake is definitely one of the most underrated guitar player out there. It's interesting to me how things look complicated when he plays them but, it actually simplifies things and keeps you in the right position. Or where you would want to be relative to what you're playing. I think it was this same thinking that lead him to the "Jake E Lee" tuning. Great lesson! Thank you!
Fairly midblowing revelation. I've been listening to those riffs since they came out and to figure out and hear such a powerful detail after all this time...pretty cool, thanks Ben.
Today I thought "I think I'll learn the guitar part for Ozzy's Bark at the Moon". Five minutes into the video...realised I was so out of my league..and this is the easy part! :-D Nice work though, brother. I appreciate that you're making it as easy as it gets (and authentic too...checked your finger work against Jake's own demo of it...I guess you did too!)
You got that right! Perfect structure on the main solo! Tasty controlled licks building the drama up to the insane orgasmic crescendo! Should be a case study in any rock guitar class!
Ben, you are unbelievable! Showed me how off I was when I thought I was close. You are bad ass!! Wish I could slow down some parts or maybe with tabs. Keep it going brother!
Ben - Ive learned so much from you videos - its ridiculous. Not only are you are phenominal teacher but a stupendous guitar player. I have so much respect and admiration. Thank you so much Dr Paul Mulvany RPh PharmD
There was a video awhile back with Gus G where he shows the way Jake played it (that opening riff part everyone gets wrong), and Gus shows the way he preferred it. Looks identical to what you've shown here. Accurate from what I can tell.
You can really see why Stephen Pearcy was so destroyed when Jake quit RATT to join Dio. Pearcy thought his band was finished...Then Warren DeMartini walked in, and his worries were over.
True. Jake mentions that before he quitted RATT he personally recommended Warren Demartini as a replacement. Thought one of his main reasons for quitting the band was Percy's drunk antics on stage, like forgetting lyrics and stuff. And after Robbin Crosby joined them, Jake mentions that it wasn't his thing being in a band with two guitar players.
I just subscribed to your channel..I started playing 3 years ago and I am finally ready to start this lesson ..it's a great way to stretch fingers and learn chord progression..a holy grail of songs ..I saw that Jake e Lee video on how to play it ..I must learn his way ..this video is killer
Thank you! Learning guitar still, amateur at best and I can't thank you enough for this. It's so difficult to learn a song the proper way it's played, and give it that genuine sound.
That's funny Ben, I was playing it similarly to the way you were playing and been playing that way since that album came out. Then I saw that video of Jake explaining it("the mystery chords"). Jake has to be one of the most clever guitar players around! He's always been one my favorite guitar players and then Badlands came around, whoa, blew my mind!
Thnx Ben! I saw Jake explaining some of this in a video. I’m so happy that I found you because There are no teachers where I live that explain this so well as you do! Super👍👍👍🎸🎸😉
True confessions time: as a kid I used to just play two-string fifths for the stab chords. Wow there’s so much more sophistication to Jake’s playing than I ever knew back in the 80s.
One of the best metal songs ever written... and one of my favorite solos of all time too! Ozzy at the top of his game, "Screams break the silence..." Thanks Ben, A+ for song choice! Now if I hit it hard maybe I can fake my way though 90% of it after a couple months... lol.
I saw this video earlier but at the time it didn't occur to me how life changing it is to know how to play that last bit. Thank you so much lol - you demonstrating this riff led me to pick up guitar for the first time in like 10 years. Finally I know why I could never really pin down the exact sound of this riff.
Ben - I've been playing for 30+ years and, thanks to some nerve damage, developed a slightly different way to play that huge stretch chord. I barre the 2nd and 3rd strings like you showed (with my ring finger) but use my middle finger to play the 4th string, sliding from 10th to 9th fret, then lifting it off and playing the 5th string tenth fret while using it to mute the 4th string. It sounds more complicated than it is. After a minute or two of practice I could play it as cleanly as that five fret stretch. It might come in handy for any of your students with nerve damage (like myself) or smaller hands. Thanks for the inspiration.
I thought for so many years that I was playing it right because I learned it from the guitar world magazine; the edition that covered Dimebag's death, but it was actually transcribed by Gus G. Which I didn't realize he was transcribing his version. I stumbled on Jake E Lee's video a few months ago and had to re-train myself immediately cause it made so much sense and sounds so much more accurate. Thank you for bring this out to attention cause even Jake was upset at the inaccuracies.
You're awesome. As a miserable bassist trying to learn a propper instrument, I enjoy your videos. No nonsense, no over the top screaming and forced comedy nonsense like others. Well done.
Strong work brother!! I remember when this came out. Thanks for making a classic iconic riff easy to understand and play for an older beginner. Ha Thanks for the lesson.
A lot of cover bands love to do that one around here, and a couple of my buddies can really nail it. I"ve never attempted it, but I love to play I Don't Know and Crazy Babies. Well, if I attempt it, I'll return back to here, home schooled Uncle Ben You rip man, I like it. Have a great day :D
Any chance you could do the outro solo too? In that video he talks about how he plays it (mostly on the G string?) if i recall correctly for "tonality" reasons. Was never able to figure out what he was talking about. Also...you rock \m/
For once...I was actually doing something correctly but now I'm trying to recall how I learned it that way in the first place; it was before Jake's video on it so someone had it right. I was getting discouraged seeing people play it other ways and trying to emulate that too for a while. Thanks for the videos.
Superb guitar playing and a great lesson. I was confused before this. My son asked me if I could play the Bark at the Moon intro. This will solve the problem. Thank you.
Hey Ben...stepping back in time on this with a request for another in the series. I have a need for...not cowbell...but Take Hold of the Flame. There are such funky sus chords in there and the mix is so thick and compressed cannot figure them out. And you are the man to show us the light. With some flame. Francis Bubbletrousers would certainly agree.
Great job. Excellent teaching style. I saw the same video but never applied or memorized it. If I’m not mistaken in the same video he also talks about how the part before the chorus is often played wrong starting on the F sharp minor. Perhaps you could cover that. Cheers.
Thank you all so much for learning the real way to play Bark at the Moon! What other classic riffs/solos have stumped you?
Rock and roll rebel!!

Some new vinyl enthusiast just bought your old Ozzy record and can’t figure out why it sounds so bad coming out of his stereo!
More sophisticated I'd say.
I respect ur opinion and i also respect jack was a good guitarist...but in no way shape or form jack is above or in level with randy...
Same here bro!
well Rhoads and Jake had similar knowledge I agree
...great job ...Jake E Lee has never gonna enough credit...
I fully agree. Jacke E Lee never got the credit he deserved he was a great guitarist and I saw him live with Ozzy at the bark of the Moon tour.
oh bullshit

You teach me so much Uncle Ben, your channel is one of the best here on YT
a tutorial with such level of details is hard to find, great work man !
Thank you SOOOOO much. I always knew that most of the tabs out there were wrong. They never sounded right. This puts it to rest. Greatly appreciated!
5:59
The most metal of all chords 🤘
Thanks for sharing the riffs, your teaching technique is easy to follow, very clear....you "nailed" it!!!!!!
Jake is soooooo unusual in his chord phrasings & such a brutal attack in his picking hand! luv Jake!!!!!!!

I’m guessing you saw that RUclips video of Jake showing how people are playing this riff incorrectly. One of the best riffs ever written.
Not only is the BATM riff one of the greatest ever written, the solos in BATM are beyond epic.
You got that right! Perfect structure on the main solo! Tasty controlled licks building the drama up to the insane orgasmic crescendo! Should be a case study in any rock guitar class!
I watched that a while ago just to see. Even after using the same fingerings, i don't sound anything like him. LOL
Agreed. This riff is amazing, and his picking is impeccable, almost beyond belief.
Seen that video..Jake went thru it to fast for me.
Excellent video. Guess I will be re-learning this one.
Ben, you are unbelievable! Showed me how off I was when I thought I was close. You are bad ass!! Wish I could slow down some parts or maybe with tabs. Keep it going brother!

Haha!! Diggin' the step dad speed. Thanks for the lesson. I saw an interview not long ago that he was explaining how everyone was playing it wrong.
It's truely testament to Jake. E. Lee's creativity to incorporate "The Horns" into his composition.
Honestly a beautiful and interestingly engaging chord progression, especially for 1983.
You're awesome. As a miserable bassist trying to learn a propper instrument, I enjoy your videos. No nonsense, no over the top screaming and forced comedy nonsense like others. Well done.
Great vid. It's tabbed like this in the Hal Leonard book I learnt it from though.
James Hissey that is shocking! Most of those Tab books from that era are garbage!
Smooth as always uncle ben ! good lesson, can't wait to learn this solo correctly, might be stuck on step dad speed for awhile
Strong work brother!! I remember when this came out. Thanks for making a classic iconic riff easy to understand
and play for an older beginner. Ha
Thanks for the lesson.

I can't "like" this enough. Great job, Ben!

Nice job!
Great job! Jake very underrated...his Badlands stuff is also legendary
"under rated" LMFAO ok... where do you people come from?
Thanks for this. Been working on BATM and this helps incredibly. You rock dude keep it up. Subbed you.
You stopped at the chorus. Such a tease. :p
More More More! Show us all those killer chorus licks and non-tremolo dive bombs. :D
Bro! Your right hand is a freakin metronome! Thanks man!
Superb guitar playing and a great lesson. I was confused before this. My son asked me if I could play the Bark at the Moon intro. This will solve the problem. Thank you.
How about "Never" off The Ultimate Sin, Jake E Less is a monster. Like this those licks are crazy.
Hey Ben...stepping back in time on this with a request for another in the series. I have a need for...not cowbell...but Take Hold of the Flame.
