Hey kids! Because YOU demanded it, here's a lesson we all need to learn about... How Jake E Lee ACTUALLY plays Bark at the Moon, from his iconic Ozzy Osbourne days!
There are SO many bad tabs for this one out there. Turns out i is had been playing it wrong for years too! I stumbled across a video here on TH-cam called "Jake E Lee talks Bark at the Moon", in which he spills a couple clues on what he really played. So i did some more detective work watching numerous live performances, and what we have as a result is the LEGIT way that awesome intro and verse riff.
When i saw how different the intro chord stabs were, i was shocked, but then when i realized he does a DIFFERENT set of chords in the verse, my mind was blown!
This is a full intro on how to play the intro and verse parts of the song. Watch durning the intro for time stamps on where each section starts.
Thanks a lot for watching! Stay tuned and we will cover the main and outro solos soon too! - เพลง
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!!
А играете переменный штрих в гитару, или параллельно?

How about Dokkens In My Dreams Solo?
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 TH-cam!
This channel is worth a subscription!
Couldn’t you have posted this 25 years ago
Furryz Pardon my disregard for your perfectly adequate joke, but TH-cam wasn’t a thing twenty-five years ago.
@@KHighton1 vhs bro
Years spent in torment.
@@KHighton1 That's no excuse!
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!
...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
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.
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
this is one of the most fantastic songs ever recorded. Jake was and is a phenom!
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
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
Great idea flashy, both G notes, should sound the same.
thats what i do, cant stretch that far at that speed
@@sebastiancamillusnielsen228 Ya really wish I had longer fingers
@@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.
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!
5:59
The most metal of all chords 🤘
a tutorial with such level of details is hard to find, great work man !
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.
You teach me so much Uncle Ben, your channel is one of the best here on YT
Jake is soooooo unusual in his chord phrasings & such a brutal attack in his picking hand! luv Jake!!!!!!!
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!
Thanks for sharing the riffs, your teaching technique is easy to follow, very clear....you "nailed" it!!!!!!
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👍👍👍🎸🎸😉
You know it’s a good riff when it still sounds rad at half speed!
Well done! Not a bunch of babble. Straight to the point. Love that you are quick with explanations. 2,4,4..to explain cords. Awesome.
Nice work Ben!
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.
Excellent video, Ben. Explanations and demos are clear and concise (and witty as usual).
Uncle Ben, you kick ass! Thank you so much for this and all your other videos of course!
Perfect playing - wow!
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!
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!!!
truly excellent breakdown and expert analysis ... thanks so much for taking the time to do this
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!
Love me some Uncle Ben's..nailed it. Thanks again and again and again..
i really appreciate the lesson bro! kept looking at the tabs online and it never sounded right. keep up the great work and keep rockin’
Your channel is awesome! Thanks for clearing this up, I've been playing this wrong for 15 years.
I can't "like" this enough. Great job, Ben!
Excellent video. Guess I will be re-learning this one.
Some of the best guitar instruction I've seen! Thanks man.
Thanks, Ben. I've been wanting to break down that Jake E clinic video, but you did all the heavy lifting. Awesome!
damn gotta learn this the right way, thanks Ben!
That Jake E Lee playing this riff, is one of the best ever.... he is a genius.....thanks for clearing things up....
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.
Really great tutorial! Really like the way you explain and demonstrate!
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!
This channel is a freaking GEM! Glad I found it 👊
Great lesson, Ben.
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.
Wowzer great stuff Uncle Ben😎😎😎😎👍👍👍👍🎸🎸🎸🎸
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
Now that he's found what he's looking for.
Listen in awe as you hear him ... play Bark at the moon!
Very cool, great video Ben!
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.
I really appreciate the precision of your explanations. Those mystery chords were my nightmares... Until today. Tks
It's truely testament to Jake. E. Lee's creativity to incorporate "The Horns" into his composition.
Great video!! Love the Zappa pic in the back!
Thank you for this lesson. Alot of cool things happening in this song.
KILLER! Finally after 30 years I can play it (getting up to speed!)
Great job Ben...
Wow, there's more to that song than you'd think. I didn't notice them either until you pointed them out. Thanks.
Most Excellent instructions 👍👍
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.
Awesome Lesson! Thank you Ben!!
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.
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 for this humble service sir. I appreciate it thank you.
I don't even play guitar, but I'm loving uncle Ben's lessons! :)
Bark at the moon gave jake his seat at the round table of riff masters for sure. Definitely one of metals greatest riffs.
Really Great lesson Ben Eller! I subscribed.
awesome. great video, great lesson, Ben. \m/
I’m guessing you saw that TH-cam 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.
As always, great stuff.
Thanks Uncle Ben!
Bro! Your right hand is a freakin metronome! Thanks man!
Awesome sound!
Hell yeah I gotta learn it the right way now. Thanks brother
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.
Always something great to learn here.
Ben you are the coolest Uncle ever! Thanks for all the pissed vids sir!
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.
Smooth as always uncle ben ! good lesson, can't wait to learn this solo correctly, might be stuck on step dad speed for awhile
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.
Hell yea thank you for this uncle Ben!!!
Thanks for this. Been working on BATM and this helps incredibly. You rock dude keep it up. Subbed you.
Thank you guy for this lesson!!!
Awesome video! Thank you so much!
Awesome brother...thank you
Great lesson. Jake E. Lee is so underrated.
You nailed it!
Love how you cover all the shit that we all want to know how to play. Just saw your piece on Turn Up the Radio solo. Thanks dude!
I love this song so much wicked hard to play Thanks for lesson :-)
Such a great video. Thank you!
I was exactly looking for this!

tommywho924 i didnt know he made one,ill go check it out
Chris Laverne
Haha!!! I've been watching Ben Eller since high school haha!!
There it is. Thanks so much for that!
Jake E Lee really has a novel approach to guitar - it's awesome how you explained it.
How about "Never" off The Ultimate Sin, Jake E Less is a monster. Like this those licks are crazy.
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'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.
Nice job!
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.
Thank you uncle Ben
Honestly a beautiful and interestingly engaging chord progression, especially for 1983.
Thanks for this!
