@@CameronCooper I knew you knew. For a bit it had me confused. It was a bit funny after I realized what was up. I've done similar stuff. ;) Keep up the good work.
Born in '77, and I still vividly remember being a kid n waiting for Bark At The Moon to come back on the radio in the 80's, so I could hear the guitar again.
Love the channel man! I just got my first charvel! Mj series so cal, white with black pick guard. Not many channels give Jake the love he deserves, keep it up!
I realized once that most of that comes from playing with dirty fingernails :D Now I always clean my fingernails first and my strings retain their sound longer.
This awesome bro.I remember trying to tackle this back in the mid 90s with just tablature and listening to the song.This is really awesome.Your tone and playing are spot on.Love the guitar too
This is a great lick to learn because it’s three ascending runs you can break into bight size pieces and then put them together and yeah the alternative picked part at the end is the toughest but just learning the first shape is incredibly fun and rewarding.
@@CameronCooper hey that's what it seems to me (french) do you have an explanation why there is less band than in 80's in UK, like Def leppard, Saxon Iron Maiden ?
Same here, Cameron, definitely one of the licks that really changed the way I approach picking, and frankly, also, fingering, because there are ways to make your life harder with this lick.
"This Jake E Lee Lick Transformed My" Sanity.... Been working on this exact run for 10 months or so and it's still not anywhere close to clean! Jake picks all of the notes on the final flurry but I'm going to try this hammer on / pull off approach to see if I can get this to work better for me. Thank you!
Hello Cameron ! Great lick from the fabulous Jack E Lee...you make the job perfectly...as always ..Ozzy had fonnd a great guitarist after the terrible destiny of he guitar God Randy Rhoads🙏. After Randy, Jack and Zack Wylde gave to Ozzy the opportunuity to make very great albums. I never undrestood why Jack E Lee disapears...It's great that you talck about him and this légendary solo 😊👍 Keep rocking Cameron !... I'm stupid I was going to call you James...thincking of James Cameron...😩😳
1) How about a few runs from He-Man Woman Hater by Extreme? 2) Tried to play along, twisted fingers into rope and dislocated my ego. Just amazing sir, thank you!
I very much want to learn Eric Johnson's solo on High Landrons, one of the most fluid of all his solos, almost sounding like a wind instrument. The phaser and whatnot that he uses on that solo are important inasmuch as they affect the attack and other aspects of his playing.
Great video as always cam!! The Van Halen Saturday night live song is great. And don’t see any videos on it. But another suggestion would be push comes to shove by Van Halen. Such a great song and can’t seem to get it right. Would love to see you tackle it!!! Thanks man!!
Bravo, I’ve learned this song recently and… it seems that everybody re discovered Bark at the moon and Jake E Lee… Anyway this final part of the solo is much Harder than it may seem…for picking especially
Action height? Some info on this would be so appreciated.. I feel like I struggle past the 12th fret, and that maybe my action is just way too high.. I’d love to know exactly where I should have it set.. Great tutorial as always, Cam! 🤟🏼
Very nice playing! One thing that I think would be VITALLY helpful would be to show your sound settings for BATM because using a different sound could affect the playing. Your sound is extremely close, imo, and that, I think, would be important because let's face it, you wouldn't use a Keith Richards tone to play Somebody Get Me A Doctor by Van Halen, right? So... having the right amount of gain, the right amount of compression, the right EQ... I would include that in my video and if you DID, then I didn't see it in the vid descriptions scrolling through the vid. Even just 2 minutes about what the tone involves would help, I think. Just stating the amp and guitar is not quiiiite enough, I think. Let me know if I just missed this or if you think it's not important and thanks!
I just use the one setting on my Blackstar AMPED 3 which I shared a while ago for literally everything and never change it. I just list the gear I use and let other people do their own thing.
@@CameronCooper Well, that particular setting sounded as close as I've ever heard anyone get to that JEL tune. It sounded tight, clean, gnarly in the upper mids. Very nice.
I tried this run as part of my warmup a few months ago, I set my metronome (accelenome ive been using) and i could never get it faster. Something I think I'm gonna revisit shortly =D
THAT TONE!!!! I came back to add to this comment after watching it very carefully a few times, and have a question about the picking. I noticed that in each of the 3 scale runs - at least when you perform them slowly - there is one instance where you opt for 2 consecutive downstrokes, but it's not economy/directional picking because you're doing it on the *same string*. Check out roughly 3:14, 3:32, and 3:42. I'm wondering if this is a conscious choice, and if so, if you could provide some insight as to why? Please note that this is isn't intended in any way to sound negative or critical - your playing is brilliant!
Been loving the uploads, they've been helping me get back into playing after a 5 year hiatus! I've noticed I naturally almost always pick the exact opposite strokes to yourself during most exercises/licks - when you pick down I pick up and vice versa. I know its a vague question but do you reckon this would limit how advanced/fast my playing could get? I feel I'm improving but I'm worried there'll be a glass ceiling to my speed. Or is this a figment if my imagination and the stroke direction doesn't matter as much as long as I'm still picking alternatively 😬 cheers in advance. Sorry for the soliloquy lol
Great lesson Cameron!! One question, the picking pattern always gives trouble in that section , watching u play through the first 3 runs am I right in thinking ur not using strict alternate picking , thought I seen a down down a couple of times , if I’m wrong my bad 🤘
Yeah. I talked about syncopation a lot in a previous take and the word accidentally kept coming out in this video when I meant to say synchronisation. Rather than edit the video to death, people like you know the point I'm making thankfully.
He's fretting a single note on the low E whilst doing tapped harmonics around the pickup area to create the effect. Not a huge amount going on there. All that changes is the note being fretted
That fretboard is exactly why you can play like this! Don't clean it if you don't want to! There's so much sweat and determination there you'll probably NEVER get it "clean" clean anyway! I bet you could eat off of Eddie's fretboard!🤮😂. But yeah, I can see how people who've owned the same guitar for years and have no fret wear or grime, basically looks like new, would think this is ridiculous 😂

7:52 I meant Synchronisation. I mentioned syncopation in a previous take and kept saying it by accident. Hope that clears stuff up.
@@CameronCooper I knew you knew. For a bit it had me confused. It was a bit funny after I realized what was up. I've done similar stuff. ;)

we've got you! thx for sharing
Born in '77, and I still vividly remember being a kid n waiting for Bark At The Moon to come back on the radio in the 80's, so I could hear the guitar again.
I think this has to be one of the top 10 hard rock solos of all time
Great lesson. I was gonna subscribe to your channel, but then I saw that I was already subscribed. 😆
Really neat. it's actually a wonderful sketching out of the modes and how to seamlessly flow between them.
Love the channel man! I just got my first charvel! Mj series so cal, white with black pick guard. Not many channels give Jake the love he deserves, keep it up!
Yeah, I'll clean my fingerboard when I next change strings.
😂😂😂
This was my first thought...

Noooo! All that grease n grime adds mojo!🤘😝
I’m gonna watch this one a million times 👍🏻

That’s why he’s the goat, that BATM riff, the solo❤
happy new year cam, Jake is always appreciated :)
You are from another planet man!
It's called the UK ;)
@@CameronCooper
Yours Aye!
@@CameronCooper hey that's what it seems to me (french) do you have an explanation why there is less band than in 80's in UK, like Def leppard, Saxon Iron Maiden ?
All the best for 2025 Cameron. Great video re the great Jake E Lee and that killer end run! A lot to take from this clip!
Thanks a lot Brian! I hope you and your family are well :)
Excellent - I love that old energetic Jake E Lee stuff, so it's fun to see it broken down
jake’s the man. such a good riff writer, my favorite ozzy guitarist.
My word that is gonna take me a good while, like 3 or 4 years 😂....i will save amd watch this tutorial...thanks Cam, and Happy New Year 🤘🏼😈🤘🏼🏴
hehe i get that! Been practicing Crazy Train for 6 years already ... still can't play it up to speed :D
Superb playing again cam,thanks for the content,love jake's style and speed.
Such a great video!! Amazing chops 🔥
I always just BS that end part! You make it sound great.
Same here, Cameron, definitely one of the licks that really changed the way I approach picking, and frankly, also, fingering, because there are ways to make your life harder with this lick.
Love to see some breakdowns, licks and riffs from Dave Menneketti in the future... 😉
I've always loved that song!

Beautiful guitar, but you already know that 😁
Thank you so much for sharing your skills, really appreciate it 👍🏼
Really great pattern!!!!

2) Tried to play along, twisted fingers into rope and dislocated my ego. Just amazing sir, thank you!
Thanks for that bit at around 9:43... 😮
It would be awesome to hear some Vivian Campbell licks as well!! He was shredding in dio!!!
My biggest problem is forgetting to use a metronome. What a difference!
Thanks for the inspiration!

That fretboard could do with some cleaning. Great playing as always, thank you Cam for the video.
I mentioned it in the video. I'll clean my fretboard when I next change strings
Hey Cam youre of my team... no freetboard clean 🤘🏻😁🎸
Bravo, I’ve learned this song recently and… it seems that everybody re discovered Bark at the moon and Jake E Lee…
Anyway this final part of the solo is much Harder than it may seem…for picking especially
Totally needed this! Thanks!!!
You have so much fantastic content on soloing , I would actually be interested in how you go about your songwriting process.
That's something I'm still trying to figure out
cool lick, thank you
Love this stuff. Could you try and show us some Nuno licks this year too please.
Action height? Some info on this would be so appreciated.. I feel like I struggle past the 12th fret, and that maybe my action is just way too high.. I’d love to know exactly where I should have it set.. Great tutorial as always, Cam! 🤟🏼
Have it set where it feels right for you. I make sure it's high enough so that there's no fret buzz and I can bend far.
Love the dirty fretboard
People love it 😂👌🏻
Obrigado do Brasil.
that sounds so killer!

I think what actually transformed your playing was starting to play at 6 months old.
That gave me the benefit of being able to pick things up by ear way more easily so you're probably right

I was probably struggling to play it slow and it happened by accident.
@@CameronCooper I get that! "Struggling to play it slow" sounds counter-intuitive, but sometimes is the case. Thanks for the reply!

My recommendation would simply be play what feels natural and suits the lick you want to play - whether it be starting with an up or a down
@CameronCooper bang on. Cheers for thr reply
geniuss
💥👍🤘👏💥
Can you do some John Sykes licks and inspired patterns? That would be awesome.
From which songs?
Funny I do this in near nature .
How about the lead in the song juggler by the band axis I have a hard time trying to figure out the lick near the end of the lead
Yoooo bark at the mooon!!!! 🌚
Great lesson Cameron!! One question, the picking pattern always gives trouble in that section , watching u play through the first 3 runs am I right in thinking ur not using strict alternate picking , thought I seen a down down a couple of times , if I’m wrong my bad 🤘
I am alternate picking the runs
I was never able to get this, should I start with downstroke or upstroke.😂 spent years 😂
Whatever feels right
Hey, you're playing is really awsome, do you play in a band ?
Not at the moment no
What are you using for the tones in this video? Was this the Blackstar St James?
No Blackstar AMPED 3
Would you ever or have you ever done any videos of Vito Bratta’s playing??
No, never been into White Lion stuff really.
@@CameronCooper oh damn. Vito is amazing. his solos are spectacular. figured you'd dig him.
synchronization
Yep
I can play it sitting down but not standing up - what do you suggest?
Consider strap height and practice when stood up.
Haven't seen any comment but what amp you using??
I wrote it in the description, Blackstar AMPED 3
You mean hand synchronization and not syncopation?
Yeah. I talked about syncopation a lot in a previous take and the word accidentally kept coming out in this video when I meant to say synchronisation. Rather than edit the video to death, people like you know the point I'm making thankfully.
New house??
what kind of pick do you use?
Dans Guitar Store Precision picks
Can you show us what he's doing at the 2:07 mark in this solo?
ruclips.net/video/1ERf0G2HVWc/видео.html
He's fretting a single note on the low E whilst doing tapped harmonics around the pickup area to create the effect. Not a huge amount going on there. All that changes is the note being fretted
I'll subscribe if you clean the grime off your fretboard lol
Might as well subscribe, I clean my fingerboard when I change strings
@@CameronCooper Alright then haha
Awesome work.What is the setting on your Yamaha THR for this?
I'm using the Blackstar AMPED 3 for distortion and the Yamaha THR30II for effects
Your fretboard is kinda nasty.
That’s seasoning
It's called playing guitar a lot
That fretboard is exactly why you can play like this! Don't clean it if you don't want to! There's so much sweat and determination there you'll probably NEVER get it "clean" clean anyway!
