@@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.
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.
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!
Two geniuses who I wish had more time as Ozzy's guitarists are Randy Rhoads (RIP) and Jake E. Lee... who knows what other wonderful mastery they would have offered us.
I have been trying to learn this section of the song for 40 years haha you made it super easy to understand every aspect of it. Thank you so much man. I will be sure to check more of your lessons.
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
Before seeing the title, I could tell this guy would be really good just by the posture of his hands from the thumbnail. That's when you know you're a good guitarist.
@@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...😩😳
Apparently this has a unique tuning: strings 1-4 are tuned down 1/2 step, and strings 5, 6 are tuned up 1/2 step to get the chords colored the way you hear them on the album, which also explains the stretched patterns he discusses regarding this song addressing how it is often played wrong, mentioning he wanted to build and collapse space (that uniquely ominous type of playing).
The original bark at the moon album was tuned a smidge higher than standard tuning except for one up the B side which was tuned to drop D. I think there's a lot of fiction thrown around about tunings that Jake used.
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!
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
I've been trying to memorize new scale forms from, "The Scale Book," by Leigh Powers. I think this is derived from the Lydian scale, which is just the major scale with a sharpened 4th degree. So, for example. A C major scale is simply: C D E F G A B C. Whereas the Lydian mode would be C D E F# A B C. So for this scale run in particular, the first position would be: (E String) 5 6 8, (A) 5 7 8, (D) 5 7 8, (G) 5 7 9, (B) 6 8. Next position: (E) 6 8 10, (A) 7 8 10, (D) 7 8 10, (G) 7 9 10, (B) 8 10. And the last position: (E) 8 10 12 (A String) 8 10 12 (D ) 8 10 12 (G) 9 10 12, (B) 10 11 13, (E) 10 12 13. This is just for the first half of the video and is merely a good learning opportunity for me... so I may be incorrect.
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!!
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.
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! 🤟🏼
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!
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.
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 🤘
That section in hard as hell for me to pick without the pick sometimes getting stuck and accidentally hitting other strings by mistake. It's usually the inside picking parts that derail everything for me. How did you get your inside picking so clean? How do you clear the next string so easily without hitting it? Would love to see you do a video on this if you haven't already.
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
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. ;)
Keep up the good work.
we've got you! thx for sharing
I remember watching you years ago when you were just as amazing.
What about posting the scales, too online( ala written)?
@davidjack6782 I broke them down specifically so I didn't have to. They'll be out there
I think this has to be one of the top 10 hard rock solos of all time
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 love watching younger folks appreciating the guitar players of my time.
Thanks for covering Jake, btw. He is very underappreciated. 👍
Dude you are one of the most polished players around freaking amazing , you have a gene not everyone has lol , very nice
That’s why he’s the goat, that BATM riff, the solo❤
Great choice here! Jake's style is amazing and delightful.
Really neat. it's actually a wonderful sketching out of the modes and how to seamlessly flow between them.
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.
I saw jake about 10 years ago at a small club and many years ago with ozzy hes always awesome
Jake E Lee is the goat
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!
Excellent - I love that old energetic Jake E Lee stuff, so it's fun to see it broken down
Two geniuses who I wish had more time as Ozzy's guitarists are Randy Rhoads (RIP) and Jake E. Lee... who knows what other wonderful mastery they would have offered us.
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 :)
jake’s the man. such a good riff writer, my favorite ozzy guitarist.
Superb playing again cam,thanks for the content,love jake's style and speed.
I have been trying to learn this section of the song for 40 years haha you made it super easy to understand every aspect of it. Thank you so much man. I will be sure to check more of your lessons.
Yeah, I'll clean my fingerboard when I next change strings.
😂😂😂
This was my first thought...

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
Noooo! All that grease n grime adds mojo!🤘😝
Cameron your a Bad Ass guitarist and a Fantastic Teacher. Thanks!!!
happy new year cam, Jake is always appreciated :)
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
EXCELLENT technique brother!

😂😂😂😂me too! I do that on the last run ok crazy train solo too!🤣
Love to see some breakdowns, licks and riffs from Dave Menneketti in the future... 😉
That lead is one of my favorites. Tough solo.
Beautiful guitar, but you already know that 😁

Happy New Year Cameron thank you for the lesson
Wow !! Thank you !!!
Me too . I use this song as warm up . Still don't do him any justice , he's just on another level . But it gets the job done .
It would be awesome to hear some Vivian Campbell licks as well!! He was shredding in dio!!!
Yes! Vivian and Jake are two of my favorites from that era.
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!
Great video cam! Happy new year! 🎉😊
Happy new year!!

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
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

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.
Obrigado do Brasil.
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
🍼🫲🏻👶🏻🫱🏻🎸
Just takes practice, and learning to play efficiently.

@CameronCooper bang on. Cheers for thr reply
that sounds so killer!
💥👍🤘👏💥
Yoooo bark at the mooon!!!! 🌚
Are You the Cameron thats friends with the UTB Channel?
I'm practicing that pattern @5:02 the way back down is awesome!
Funny I do this in near nature .
Can you do some John Sykes licks and inspired patterns? That would be awesome.
From which songs?
@@CameronCooper Any of his Blue Murder records would be outstanding. Thanks Cameron.
Jake is the reason I play guitar.
I would love for you to go thru Slowdown.🤘

Whatever feels right
You are a good player!

💣💥✨✨✨🎶✨🎶✨🎶✨
You pulled a jackie E Lee out of a 135 whip ...who knew?!🎸
I'm sorry, what? 😂
synchronization
Yep
Hey, you're playing is really awsome, do you play in a band ?
Not at the moment no
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.
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
What are you using for the tones in this video? Was this the Blackstar St James?
No Blackstar AMPED 3
I can play it sitting down but not standing up - what do you suggest?
Consider strap height and practice when stood up.
New house??
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.
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
you should clean that fretboard friend
Yeah will do it when I change strings
I'll subscribe if you clean the grime off your fretboard lol
Might as well subscribe, I clean my fingerboard when I change strings

Great vid. Clean your guitar neck.
I will when I change strings. I just play guitar a lot

I do. But not going to take perfectly good strings off just to clean my fretboard for the sake of a view viewers. :)
@CameronCooper touche
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
