It's like Jake is the one guitarist who perfectly combined funk, blues, classic rock, groove metal all into a format that worked perfectly with chops from hell without overkill.
@@indian3750 yeah but I grew up watching the VHS tape of the ultimate ozzy and even jake said his playing there is the best it ever was cause of how many live shows they did. But I agree badlands was amazing and his band to show his true range. I’m just talking from a guitar playing stand point not composition. I love jake man he influenced me to play
Yes they were he was the best guitarist ozzy ever had after Randy and in a lot of ways I liked him more than Randy he had a lot more stage presence than Randy I like him live way more than Randy his tone was insane
Obviously Jake is HIGHLY EDUCATED in music theory. What he plays just isn't off the cuff, first take stuff. He definitely did some serious studying in his formative years.
Jake started on piano at 6 years old, he has classical education. Before his big break with Ozzy he played in funk, rnb and jazz bands, and he even auditioned for Jerry Goodman, the violinist for Mahavishnu Orchestra.
@@livingbeing1113 Wow...I had no idea of his background. And I saw him twice with Ozzy. He absolutely was the reason my friends and I went to see Ozzy on those tours.
Jake! Yeah, this whole album smokes from start to finish. Soul Stealer... Silver Horses, Three Day Funk... yeah even a killer version of James Taylor's Fire and Rain. I bought this album when it came out, it completely floored me. I still play it regularly. The first album is pretty damn good too.
Probably my all time favorite hard rock album. Jake plays funky blues better than anyone. Trucks, Bonamassa...in his prime he was better than them all.
I just HAD to send this to Greg Chaisson bass player in the great band Badlands. I just loved your take on this and yes Jake E Lee is the Master. 💜💜💜 this vid!
@@sytharnia1717 ABSOLUTELY! But not only that he is a great guy with it, and has a stunning wife, beautiful daughter, and his son is really handsome too. Lucky lucky man💜💜💜
Jake never used a tremolo, hardtail Charvel and pushed behind the neck, amazing the neck never came off with the stress he put on those screws. Another great solo by him is on Rumbling Train from the first Badlands album (which is regarded as their best).
Stood right in front of Jake at Badlands gig in a small venue, Edwards No.8 Club, in Birmingham, England. The whole band were on fire and it was a hot night, 8th July 1992.. I was a kid then, it's 30 years ago but it seems like yesterday. Damn, time is cruel.
Same here at a club called Rafters in Salt Lake City, Utah..USA. Loudest show I've ever seen. Jake melted my face off! And then throw in his stage presence and moves...no one has swagger like Jake. Untouchable!
@@SonicVR12 It's great to hear that you had a similar experience. They were a killer band; such a rare treat to see talent like that in a small venue These are the memories we take with us to the end.
To the haters ... “a guitar teacher reacts” requires stopping to ... react ... if you want to hear the song without stops go buy it. -Don’t change a thing about how you do your videos. It’s super fun to see someone geek out over interesting music. It’s also fun seeing you get excited ... it’s infectious. I love it!
Not easy to buy They don't print the album anymore and it's not available to buy in mp3 format on the platforms I've checked shame as it's a wicked album.
Yeah whenever i hear Jake, ever since Bark came out.. I always say.. "But, but, but"... too. Jake is so highly underrated. Jake doesn't use a bar. He bends the neck. He does that live too.. and its crazy just how perfect and in key it is every time
I give you props man, you got balls to put yourself out like that. Your no slouch either. I truly enjoyed this, along with giving Jake love. He is a beast. Stay safe my friend 🙏. Good job 👍👍
Always happy to hear Jake. My favorite Ozzy player. Most impeccable live playing I have ever seen. I am sure everyone here has already seen his live shows, but if you are new to jake, ckeck them out.
Depending on where you live, it's actually quite easy to meet musicians of Jake's caliber. I lived in Las Vegas, Nevada for 15 years. While there, I stood within a few feet of Carlos Cavazo and Steve Pearcy, spoke briefly with Danny Koker, and spent at least 30 minutes sitting at a table and shooting the breeze with Vinny Paul.
Jake lives in Vegas. I have met him 4 times. He is down to earth. Very well grounded. Red dragon cartel played a very small club in the little town I live in. I was thrilled because he has been my favorite musician since 1986. I thought...what are the odds.
I'm no musician but, Jake's skills and phrasing are on another level. Jake adds complexity but, the complexity fits the music perfectly. I appreciate people on RUclips who bring his music to their audience who may not have previously heard Jake's playing. It's as unique as Jake himself.
This is one of my favorite albums! Can't tell you how many times i've played it. Also Badlands first album. Jammed on drums along to them back in the day. It was a work out!
Jake E Lee was and still is my favorite Ozzy player and right at the top of my list of all time favorites along with Eddie and Tom Morello. Jake's style is my favorite.
@@Guitargate yeah, I have a home office myself with two young kids and everytime I open the office door, they all stop doing what they are doing and come rushing over.
Saw Jake live a few years ago. You should do something from the last Red Dragon Cartel record. So many great riffs! He played amazing that night. He gave me a fist bump! Saw him with Ozzy on Ultimate Sin tour also. He is an all time great!
Jake doesn't play the guitar, he has an intimate relationship with it. Doesn't use a a Tremolo bar and he bends and blends notes like a god. After joining Ozzy and stepping into the huge shoes of Legend Randy Rhoads in 82 and playing for Mickey Ratt (Ratt) he was highly underrated and underappreciated. In my eyes, Jake is in company with greats such as Hendrix.
Can NEVER get enough of Jake! Plays with no bar, always plays unconventional notes, great rhythm player, badass showman. His playing always sounds on the edge and has danger in it but he always nails it. He has that quality that girls want him and guys want to be him. He got screwed by Ozzy and then screwed by Ray in a way. Red Dragon Cartel is cool but sometimes I feel that band is not on his level, but I'm glad he's making music again.
Sad but true, Ray as incredible as he is, was the downfall of that incredible band. And i'm not even mentioning the issues with Atlantic and his supposed "victims", but when Badlands were booked for a big tour supporting AC/DC, they had to cancel for Ray's pneumonia, and never got another chance for a big break again. A band doomed from the start. Jake wasn't very lucky in his career.
I think you are great at lessons from the get! You are a great teacher and your process is key to this. Love your lessons. You explain the motions in theory with a flair of slang language which is ROCK AND ROLL! MoFo...
I played this CD and tape from the day it released on a continuous loop for like 5 years lol. I think I have every note imprinted on my brain. I can even play a lot of it - but not this solo. He's such a monster.
The Soul Stealer solo is another handful, especially for how Jake plays a little part of it with his patented thumb stretch. And live Jake is even nastier with these monster solos, lol.
Thank you for being you! You are the guitarist that I wanted to be when I grew up (55 years old - never made it {but I collected 17 guitars; gave several away - spread the love}). Keep making videos! You win, sir!! P.S. Your video about scammers is playing a positive role in my best friend's life - she's trying to stop her mom from getting scammed - again. THANK YOU!! Great Job!! LOVE YOU!! P.P.S. I recently started using two exclamation points because a person who accidentally became an e-mail friend of Edward Van Halen said that Edward oddly always used two instead of the more common one or three. - - J
The first time I saw Jake E Lee He was with Ozzy headlining and motley Crue was opening for them. I am a musician, I played with the worst and I've played with the best. I have to say after that night it was back at the Moon tour in Worcester, I knew from that moment on he was going to be my favorite guitarist of all time. 🎸🎶 And I absolutely love Badlands, Jade's song / Winters call the whole album is amazing. Jake E Lee is still my favorite guitarist to this day. Sending blessings 🙏💜🪶
I just smile the whole time watching you trying to figure out Jake's licks. You are great in your own right. Jake's just a different kind of player. Versatile and gifted. I've been trying to get Rick Beato to interview Jake for some time now. I think Jake lives in Vegas currently. The last I had heard of him was that he had carpel tunnel surgery. I hope that it lets him play well again. I'd fly to Vegas just to see him play.
Coming in a bit late, anyway. As a guitarist myself, I get the vulnerability of sitting down and working out songs in front of someone. I used to teach Guitar back when I was in high school, and dudes and dude'ets would bring in material that I had to breakdown and then show them in a 30-minute time frame. Most of the time, it would be pretty straight forward, but those times someone would bring in the goods, it was panic time lol. I respect you putting yourself out there doing what is, for a lot of guitarists, the epic pulling down your pants on stage. BTW, Jake is one of my favorites of all time.
Great song to dive into! Learned a lot from that record back in the day. You asked who the drummer is: Jeff Martin, who was also the SINGER for Racer X. Since you came from the metal scene I'm sure you'll know who that was. Dig your channel!
"Above my paygrade Sir".... Well said. Jake was/is a beast, and it's really a shame that he didn't land in a better spot, as it seemed like unfortunate times struck him over and over. One of my favs on the axe, and deserves more recognition.
Saw him live on the Bark at the Moon tour and even with Ozzy snatchin Jake's head around like he was gonna pull his hair out (kinda violent the one I saw in Tampa) Jake never missed a note and delivered and awesome solo. His work with Badlands I really love...shame they didnt do more, awesome group with a badass guitarist.
You definitely should check out Whiskey Dust by them. Jake is awesome plus Greg Chaisson is a MONSTER on the bass guitar!! Loved this band and their 70s sound 🤘🤘🤘
I've seen Jake 3 times live twice with the prince of darkness and once with Badlands he can still play his arse off a great guitarist and songwriter with killer tone always
I love watching you brother..You started off with this intense look of "I got this"then quickly it turned to almost a face of fear when you realized you thought he said Jason Lee Not Jake E Lee!!..
I just recently listened to the first Badlands album for the first time in a while and told another guitar player buddy of mine that in my opinion that album is the far and away the best album ANY Ozzy guitarist has put out.... including any of the albums they did with Ozzy. I know I'll catch flack for that statement. But the first Badlands album is damn near perfection. Top to bottom. Not a weak track on it. Ray Gillen is a machine on vocals.
Love these. when you struggle its the best. some Paul gilbert would be awesome, his newer stuff where he thinks hes clapton. I cant make requests but he has one called "Vibrato" and its saucy. keep it up.
Just found you. Great video. Jake is the man. I hate it too when someone is tuned different than I am 😂👍 Nice PRS. I'm selling a 91 ten top quilt maple PRS when I get the chance to put it up on reverb. Anyway. Great reaction. I will subscribe man.. Thanks Tim Guitar player from Southern Indiana USA.
Spafford has a text message line to the band and fans. I took a shot and told them to check you out. Saw them on Facebook sharing your video! I'm sure I'm not the only one that messaged but hey we're doing it together!!!
Wayne Charvel was a frequent customer of shop I managed in Paradise, CA, used to come in at least once a week. Was slow one day, had Bark at the moon video playing on the shop TV, Wayne comes in looks up at the screen, sees Jake with his white Charvel, says nothing. I said, hey Wayne that's Jake E Lee with one of your guitars, he just nodded his head, then changed the subject, lol. Guess he wasn't as stoked as I was.
He's coming for you, Hide your wife, hide your kids! Awesome stuff, the rest of the 90's band just hung it up and went home. I don't know how I missed this one. Adding it to the collection, if they bitch you can let them know you sold an album for them. You know for education. Rock On!
Those keg parties in Bonita and Chula Vista were the best. I played at a few of them myself. Back then Jake and I hated each other, barely spoke, even when at the same parties. It was glorious.
@@scottfurniss9782 We were in rival bands. All the guitar players were trying to out do each other back in those days. We were young, and the competition was fierce. Jake was a badass, and he had an ice pick touch that I clearly remember. His accuracy was unrivaled.
I love watching this stuff. Super cool remembering how we used to learn guitar in the 80's. Your note timing is slightly off during opening riff. It's E F# F# E F# F# E F# F# E F# F# F# A Jake's the biggest influence I ever had in my playing. OUTSTANDING guitarist.
I actually prefer his drumming on this to Eric Singer’s on the debut. He’s very open and is kind of a combo of Keith Moon and Bonham. Crazy that his drumming has swing but his vocals are super technical Halford-ish.
@@raymondlugo9960 Thanks! will check it out. I’m a drummer so I love his busy style. Also Eric’s drums always sounded too dry for me. I have MP3’s of their other work so listen often.
I knew I had that ass!!! You asked who the drummer was. The drummer for the Voodoo Highway and Dusk albums was Jeff Martin, who was also the singer for Racer X. No shredding there. I always loved Jake's rhythm playing, but this solo is my favorite of his. To me, this has a little bit of VH and John Sykes to it. I'll spare you this time on John Sykes. I love playing with great guitar players and I've had the privilege of playing with some great one's. You're in my top 5.
- i am begging you to watch Santana’s “Song of the Wind - live” from from 1988 - Viva Santana! Santana is one of the greatest melodic writers in American music history and this performance combines finesse with rarely matched intensity.
Jake e Lee is a damn genuine guitar Hero so underrated.
YES
THIS!!🤘🤘🤣 Jake is incredible!!
He’s rated pretty damn high and deservedly so.
@@msw812 "Underrated" is way over used. Jake is far from that. There's not one negative word said about him.
@@Scottocaster6668 Yeah I got that bro
It's like Jake is the one guitarist who perfectly combined funk, blues, classic rock, groove metal all into a format that worked perfectly with chops from hell without overkill.
That's one of the best sum-ups I've read.
Jake is one of the best to play in rock. He and Badlands are so underrated. He was a big influence on me.
Dude jake e lee is my all time favorite. His live shows with Ozzy were insane
Ozzy stuff was okay
Badlands was were it was at
Everytime i listen to badlands i shake my head
Like how much fucking depth to the music its unreal
Agreed, abosluely love the bloke

@@ellamcclanahan9811 I think he was Ozzy's best Guitarist. And yes, he had much better stage presence.
Just to let you know Jake has never used a whammy bar. Ever.
Also his fingers are quite stretchy. Not exactly a standard way of playing.
True he bends the neck of the guitar
@@perlguillar8371 He detunes too.
he is a genius,plain and simple,plus he's played with the best in the world,they just stand amazed,jake understands
Yea that was his thing, his party trick was NOT using a tremolo bar ... in the 80s 💀
Never..ever forget how good jake e lee is
Voodoo Highway absolute monster of an album. So hard to find these days.
Holy crap!! Bob Daisley said Jake is the best ozzy had!! Jake is a beast! And he smiles while playing!!

Jake is the most incredible rock guitarist I’ve ever heard
Awe man... badlands one of my all time favorite bands. RIP Ray
Jake! Yeah, this whole album smokes from start to finish. Soul Stealer... Silver Horses, Three Day Funk... yeah even a killer version of James Taylor's Fire and Rain. I bought this album when it came out, it completely floored me. I still play it regularly. The first album is pretty damn good too.

Great album all around!
I really enjoyed this video. I smiled almost the whole video. It made me want to pick up my guitar again.

This album is in my Top 10 NOSTALGIC albums of my life.
"You've got to be shittin' me".
I wish Jake could see this!
There is a touch of Tommy Bolin in there. Jake was a fan.
Time for a drop pedal. Finally broke down and bought one, kick myself for not doing it sooner. Cheers.
This Has Got To Be My All Time Fav🔥🤘👊🏻💜🎶
Randy Rhoads would have SHIT his pants if he heard Jake play live.
So glad I got to see Jake on the Ultimate Sin Tour with Ozzy in 85.
I've seen Jake 3 times live twice with the prince of darkness and once with Badlands he can still play his arse off a great guitarist and songwriter with killer tone always
Would not have found Badlands without this video.
I love watching you brother..You started off with this intense look of "I got this"then quickly it turned to almost a face of fear when you realized you thought he said Jason Lee Not Jake E Lee!!..
One of my favorite albums. I hear a lot of James Gang in this tune
BRO HE DOES IT WITH THE STRING AT THE HEAD
BEYOND THE NECK
I just recently listened to the first Badlands album for the first time in a while and told another guitar player buddy of mine that in my opinion that album is the far and away the best album ANY Ozzy guitarist has put out.... including any of the albums they did with Ozzy. I know I'll catch flack for that statement.
But the first Badlands album is damn near perfection. Top to bottom. Not a weak track on it. Ray Gillen is a machine on vocals.
I'm with you brother. I've seen all of Ozzy's guitarist & have to say Jake & Randy close 1&2. Jake is killer & both Badlands albums are phenomenal.
Jake is one of the best ever!
I'm watching this whole thing again... :) Can you go over another Badlands song from each of the other albums?
Jake always throws in those not-so-subtle fills. Brilliant guitar player.
OK, I'm a drummer and this is so good, it makes me want to jam.
A fine pink mist by Jake E Lee. Check it out.
Wouldn't it be cool if Jake E. Lee himself commented on this video?! 😲
Yeah
Killer guitar.
Your doing joe rogan " I was talking to my buddy"
Your lucky!!
lol, "sweet baby Jesus! You KNOW he's comin' for you! Hide your wife, hide your kids! HE'S comin' for you", Michael, Jake E. Lee is a beast!

Nice PRS. I'm selling a 91 ten top quilt maple PRS when I get the chance to put it up on reverb.
Anyway. Great reaction. I will subscribe man..
Thanks

Guitar player from Southern Indiana USA.
My favourite Ozzy guitarist....yep
Spafford has a text message line to the band and fans. I took a shot and told them to check you out. Saw them on Facebook sharing your video! I'm sure I'm not the only one that messaged but hey we're doing it together!!!
Wayne Charvel was a frequent customer of shop I managed in Paradise, CA, used to come in at least once a week. Was slow one day, had Bark at the moon video playing on the shop TV, Wayne comes in looks up at the screen, sees Jake with his white Charvel, says nothing. I said, hey Wayne that's Jake E Lee with one of your guitars, he just nodded his head, then changed the subject, lol. Guess he wasn't as stoked as I was.
He's coming for you, Hide your wife, hide your kids! Awesome stuff, the rest of the 90's band just hung it up and went home. I don't know how I missed this one. Adding it to the collection, if they bitch you can let them know you sold an album for them. You know for education. Rock On!
Used to watch jake play backyard keg parties in San Diego when I was a teenager .
Those keg parties in Bonita and Chula Vista were the best. I played at a few of them myself. Back then Jake and I hated each other, barely spoke, even when at the same parties.
It was glorious.
@@theresultof777 why?
@@scottfurniss9782 We were in rival bands. All the guitar players were trying to out do each other back in those days. We were young, and the competition was fierce.
Jake was a badass, and he had an ice pick touch that I clearly remember. His accuracy was unrivaled.
Great video. Thx
a father once again! cheers!
Hey! Wondering what part of Maryland you are from and if you offer in person lessons? Thanks!
I cannot grasp how one goes from metal to country....still stuck in metal at 59...🥰😅
Jake rules
I love watching this stuff. Super cool remembering how we used to learn guitar in the 80's.
Your note timing is slightly off during opening riff.

Jake's the biggest influence I ever had in my playing.
OUTSTANDING guitarist.
Jeff Martin on drums. Yes the singer from Racer X.
I actually prefer his drumming on this to Eric Singer’s on the debut. He’s very open and is kind of a combo of Keith Moon and Bonham. Crazy that his drumming has swing but his vocals are super technical Halford-ish.
If you like Jeff's drumming, look for a bootleg from the two tours after Eric left and you can hear him playing songs from the first album.
@@raymondlugo9960 Thanks! will check it out. I’m a drummer so I love his busy style. Also Eric’s drums always sounded too dry for me. I have MP3’s of their other work so listen often.
@@steve.hoffman He plays awesome also on few Paul Gilbert's records, like Alligator Farm for example.
I knew I had that ass!!! You asked who the drummer was. The drummer for the Voodoo Highway and Dusk albums was Jeff Martin, who was also the singer for Racer X. No shredding there. I always loved Jake's rhythm playing, but this solo is my favorite of his. To me, this has a little bit of VH and John Sykes to it. I'll spare you this time on John Sykes. I love playing with great guitar players and I've had the privilege of playing with some great one's. You're in my top 5.
Love you boo
Forgot how good it was even though I remember it being underrated at the time.
Roy Rodgers terraplane blues live!!!! You seriously have to check it out, it is sooooo good!
I try to listen to all kinds of music and try to play it
Because of jake
love the shirt
Fingers and neck bends....never seen Jake use a bar. Blew my mind seeing Badlands in concert around '89.
So, you stumbled into Jake huh? ..hehe :) ..ouch that 1/2 semitone mish hurt man :-)
- i am begging you to watch Santana’s “Song of the Wind - live” from from 1988 - Viva Santana! Santana is one of the greatest melodic writers in American music history and this performance combines finesse with rarely matched intensity.
