JAKE E LEE IS A MONSTER! IS HE THE BEST 80S GUITARIST?IS HE OZZY'S BEST GUITARIST??

JAKE E LEE IS HANDS DOWN ONE OF THE BEST ROCK GUITARISTS. I KNOW IT'S FASHIONABLE TO SAY RANDY WAS OZZY'S BEST GUITAR PLAYER...BUT THOSE WHO TRULY KNOW GUITAR, KNOW THERE IS A STRONG ARGUMENT THAT IS WAS JAKE. NO KNOCK ON RANDY...I LOVE HIM AND HE WAS INCREDIBLE.....BUT JAKE'S RHYTHM PLAYING AND HIS UNREAL VIBRATO MIXED WITH HIS IMPECCABLE LEAD PLAYING PUTS HIM UP THERE WITH ANYBODY.

This video showcases his soloing but he was an incredibly clean and precise rhythm player as well, and his writing is phenomenal. He's so good it is ridiculous. Remember also he doesn't use a whammy bar either so whatever sounds he is creating he is doing it without a whammy.

[@oilcan00]

So So true! Rhythm playing is soooo overlooked regarding the 80s players. He is an incredible rhythm player. There are tons of 80s shredders who are average Rhythm players....EVH was great...DeMartini is a great rhythm player as well. And he has to get credit for not using a Tremolo....his left hand vibrato is insane. He used to say when players get stuck...not sure where to go...GRAB THE BAR....it would bail them out. He thought it was lazy....he could make all the same sounds with out the bar.

[@paulfrehley7352]

Absolutely agree. I think Jake is in the same league as Randy. And those divebomb effects are done by both pushing on the headstock so hard as to bow the neck, and by detuning several steps flat with the machine head/tuning back to pitch on the fly (which is NOT easy to get so perfect every time as Lee does). Insane technique.

Jake, like Randy, benefitted greatly from working with Bob Daisley.

[@grassabrutta]

I agree wholeheartedly with you. Melodic guitar with excellent songwriting. And, of the troupe of guitarists that Ozzy has had, Jake most closely reproduced live the esoteric compositions of Rhoads without imposing too much of himself into it. Later guitarists were less honest (or capable ?) of that.

[@TheFlashpoint69]

I agree 100% and I have ruffled feathers as well with other local musicians promoting Jake as number 1

I met Jake when he was with Badlands. Stayed after the show and talked to him for a bit and helped them load their equipment into the van. Good times and an autograph to boot 🎉

[@michaelmiglino6512]

Jake is definitely up there as one of the best. In my mind, Jake was no doubt the greatest Guitarist Ozzy has ever had. If you play guitar you should easily see his riffs, licks, and solos are more intricate, original, less redundant, and explosive than any of Ozzy's past and present players.

An emphatic yes on both accounts. His left and right hands are simply amazing. From what I have been reading he may have carpal tunnel. I just hope and prey he can come back from it.
