To all the haters...this kid is playing homage is his guitar hero...he never claims to do anything but that. Leave him alone. As far as Zakk ..like him or hate him..he has his own style and put a strong imprint on all of Ozzy's music of the past and present. And for that, thank you Zakk Wylde.

[@xavierhellspawn551]

Well said brother cheers 🍻

[@markmckinney9821]

Top comment! Totally agree. On all levels

[@scottymacalister5436]

BAD ASS you played this note for note Zakk style

[@SonicVR12]

Yup!

[@ShadeTreeCardiology]

I thought it was a wonderful rephrasing, which is way better than some carbon-copy cover. Keep it up my guy! You’re killing it!

[@twelvegagetat]

What's even better, is he plays the live versions instead of studio. Very commendable. This guy is a badass guitar player.

[@mieszanesztuki]

Still, 10 years later, I always come back to this video. This time around I can actually play the song. Thanks for the much needed motivation, brother.

[@NlCKELODEON]

I remember seeing these videos from this era 14 years ago in 2008 when I was just learning! totally forgot about you, and this still sounds just as killer.. glad I came across this again!

[@darkentity7255]

Experiencing the same thing, mind is blown

[@doug5217]

Zakk would be proud of this kid. He's doing a wonderful job on his falsetto harmonics.

[@louissanderson719]

Zakk follows this guy on Instagram

[@theissen612]

its OVER, zakk lives in his soul and smiles with every pinch harmonic this kid leans into.

[@airpandaforce4687]

This dude fucking owned it!! I'm 13 years late to this video and a classic!

[@claudiojofre3118]

saludos amigo desde Chile!! GENIAAAL!!!!

[@EDEN-LIMINAL]

This is great, man. Everything is clean and on time, not rushed as most covers of BATM are. As for playing Zakk's instead of Jake's version, EVERYONE except Jake E. Lee plays it a bit (or a lot) different than the original. Yours is as good as the best, congratulations.

[@voodoogamerman6077]

this is under-rated and very well done.this guy is on key and knows wtf he's doing.

[@BasicallyVader]

Mastered those pinch harmonics 🤘🏻🤘🏻

[@farriskc]

VERY NICE! I'M AN OLD SCHOOL GUITARIST 43 YRS OLD, PLAYED FOR 30 YRS. You are a very talented young man! Don't ever stop progressing the shy is the limit. DAVE

[@alvaroartetabulos5993]

Really insane. Awesome bro.

[@arcticbushpilot123]

Respectfully bowing while I set my guitar on fire as a sacrifice for its own good.....shopping for a triangle to play now. Hats off brother, you are amazing!

[@mrkentleong]

Amazing

[@jimdavisson5113]

Excellent, thanks for sharing....

[@AndreaGonzales-or3ce]

Fun fact: the guitarist who originally played bark at the moon (Jake e. Lee) was half Japanese.

[@v10ramTony]

And didn't rely on pinch harmonics to play a good (in this case, amazing) solo.

[@AndreaGonzales-or3ce]

+Tony Silvio This guy played the solo pretty nice though

[@Yismeicha]

Is

[@chris0718]

The best metal song and cover ever recorded. Amazing and my absolute favorite.

[@HellaMoneys]

Classic zakk wylde style. End every bar with a pinch harmonic.

[@BloodTar]

Mesmerizing to watch you play this.

[@VLombardi01]

Very nice!!

[@davida.9097]

Super excellent..👍 hands down.. Jimi/ RR/ SRV/Allen Collins..lookin' down..an amazed..

[@alanmickiewicz5216]

Zakk Wylde style? Needs two more pinch harmonics per second. Kickass job man. Long live Zakk and long live you!

[@jenniferlee1107]

Your great man..U make it look so easy,effortless,,they way your fingers move,I wish I was that smooth brother....

[@nosik673]

I never knew people could get shit from being good.

[@jasonsmaster3861]

awsome. I love your guitar

[@christophergregory1205]

And sick Vibrato, dude!

[@christianhenriquenobrega3281]

He's freaking AWESOME, I love your videos, keepin' on rockin!!!!

[@husezz5023]

Why are people hating on him? He plays it really good better than me

[@markmckinney9821]

Super cool! Jake e lee and zakk would be proud. Great homage to both of them! Rock on🤘🏽🤘🏽

[@alexdk792]

Great job!!! Great

[@randyjohnson5426]

Just sick man....those pinch harmonics were so on point brother!!

[@Shawnathan]

Dude looks like an RPG character.

[@emyrmalikassharim9424]

Hahaaha

[@71lemansconvert82]

Disrespectful

[@chocodiledundee1]

Amazingly awesome playing .... Flying V custom is beautiful

[@adreyanpaige3184]

Dude if you were my guitar teacher I would be shredding on guitar right now..... Dude like seriously that's exactly how I wanna sound like when I play guitar. you rock dude seriously amazing!!!

[@johanlifvergren259]

Amazing, dude! Every idiot hating here, is one who wishes he/she could play like you. Keep up the good work! /Fellow guitarist

[@monsterjeep69]

Gaku, you´re the man! Congratulations. Amazing playing. really, really good. Stuning guitar as well.

[@VlaDuZa]

You look funny as hell with all that Zakk Wylde style on you but who gives a shit, your playing skills are insane! I don't think that even Zakk can play this well anymore. Didn't think there was somebody on the planet who could imitate his sound and playing style so precisely, which is basically what made him so special and famous. And you can imitate his playing during his prime, when he was really really good and had feel and everything. Not like today, when he just shreds meaningless scales with no thought or style and it's just a mess that hurts your head and ears. So that's a double Kudos for you, keep rocking man!

[@gibsonexplorer8777]

Yes Zak has changed alot

[@ecaravello]

Fantastic take man! Love your legato technique plus your tone, phrasing, and ability to play in time. Great job!

[@christophergregory1205]

The pinch harmonics are fucking badass. Everyone needs to quit bitching.

[@iTz_FLAwL3zZ]

Christopher Gregory there can never be enough pinch harmonics in my opinion lol

[@jem7772]

I loved it, nice job !!!

[@joemyatt3253]

Yep.... your a bad ass!

[@pattysky7]

I really love your style Gaku. Great work

[@jeffreygraham7049]

SKILLS 👌

[@retrorockit]

This guy!!! Is outstanding 🤘🤘🤘

[@FUZZYfps]

Absolutely amazing. And the dive bombs were absolutely on par. I wasn't expecting those to happen. A+ job on the solo as well. I've been playing guitar for 15 years. You're definitely a higher caliber guitar player than I am.

[@tijuanaiguana190]

Wow that's sad....

[@jims3666]

stop hating....this is exactly what we need! young guitar players keeping the spirit alive. this guy has skills and stlye. quick...somebody get this dude a camaro....so much better than guitar hero

[@josephlucas819]

very nice didn't know zach had a lil bro!

[@MultiJeffthomas]

Great job! You've got a real gift there.

[@thenoobletlego]

The section at 0:33 isn't played correctly, I hate to be picky. You can watch a video where Zakk Wylde talk about how everyone gets it wrong. VERY good guitar playing nonetheless, sorry to complain. Moreso wanted to inform you.

[@robhendry5002]

you got a link for that video

[@robhendry5002]

[@fndrn8]

just purchased a boss sd-1. dont know why i never had one before. adds sustain and some good color to the my tone. i play on a 400$ strat with john pertrucci pickup in the bridge through a steve vai head. makes it sound amazing!

[@BamBam-gs7eb]

Kudos! Outstanding skills, nice kit as well.

[@glm1987]

13 yrs old of this piece, Jesus!

[@ohello4u]

Wow... Now that's freakin awesome man... I want to be where your at someday... Keep rockin man....

[@vtown871]

You’re about 5 pinch harmonics away from it be 100% accurate

[@evolutionmb]

Ozzy should have called you for the gig. Nice playing and love the squeals. Keep on rockin' \m/

[@andrewacton5885]

You definitely figured out how to sound like zakk

[@rebelrocker7494]

Freaking Great ,You Rocked That ...ROCK ON 💗💗💗🤘

[@Ali-gn6yq]

Ive been playing this song longer then he has ben alive and cant hit it like this kid..

[@truthiz7873]

His set at the Holiday Inn on Thursday during happy hour is good too. Seems down to earth and drinks are half price

[@ernief1879]

Guy looks like the emperor on Last Samurai :D

[@デビねむ]

素晴らしい！

[@quit293]

Needs more chorus and pinch harmonics.

[@tlaxa]

Brilliant playing!

[@phil1113pe]

really awesome! I give dude props!!!

[@jetraven8120]

F these dudes you rocked it bro awesome job

[@Wessel99]

i saw a lot of covers from bark at the moon and this is the best nice job

[@KhaosTITAN]

Budokan was legendary 😭🔥

[@chucksartori666]

but that version is the Philadelphia version, budokan could be one of the most epic shows of ozzy /../

[@Keeping-It-Real-55]

Great job, and killer guitarist. Mad SKILLS. Only critique I have is too much Harmonic Squealing going on. Cut those squeals in half and it sounds much better to my ears anyway. I have a hard time doing the pinch harmonics like you do. But when I master them, I will keep them to a minimum. I know that is the way Zakk Plays too. But even his need to be cut in half. Of course that is only my opinion. I'm positive there are other people that like excessive pinch harmonics. Anyway I enjoyed watching this and your crazy train video. Keep up the great videos.

[@machiavellidesmond7965]

yes you are right. everything is fine in limit.

[@opickendoh4398]

Shiiit.. perfect..

[@milesfifer171]

Awesome hearing Zakks version covered great job

[@timvillanueva5577]

Zack never met a pinch harmonic he didn't like, that's for sure. Never cared for Wylde, Jake E. Lee is a million miles beyond. But nice job on this though

[@marcalbert674]

Yes and yes when over used they do become boring. Randy Rhoads used natural harmonics as chords variations, listen to some songs from the "Blizzard of Oz" album.

[@jollyrigger1560]

True. Jake is by far Ozzy's best guitarist, but also just a absolutely awesome player.

[@tennesseeridgerunner5992]

Man thank you for saying that. I've been an Ozzy fan since '82 and I can say that from all the guitar players Ozzy has had I like Zack least. The harmonic thing has always annoyed the shit outta me, and I have never liked his tone either. I thought that harmonics and things of that nature were meant to be like little accents in a song, like little touches of spice in a meal, not used throughout the entire song. Anyway I said that to say this Mr. Gaku: you were incredible and did a phenomenal job of covering that version of that song. Kudos to you sir!

[@marcalbert674]

JOLLY RIGGER jake is such an underrated guitarist, it’s a shame. Check out his current band, he ´s too good for it.

[@fenrir2616]

My mate and I used to have this debate! Who was Ozzy's best guitarist?! Mine was a bias toward liking Randy Rhoades, but he was always (and still is) a Jake E Lee fan. I think any guitarist that gets to play with Ozzy is pretty damn good, look at Brad Gillis etc. We will all have our favourites, but if we're being honest I know all of those guitarists would wipe the floor with my playing (and the majority of people watching at home). Great job Gaku.

[@ledzep75254]

Wow that is great...wish I could do that!

[@thesouthsideshovlerleonard13]

What brand of guitar?? Sounds killer! Awesome playing.

[@Beco96]

Gaku custom, by Combat Guitars Japan :) his gear is in the description :)

[@johnsguitarmusicanddemos]

*Man does he sound incredible!*

[@IrishChef85]

We must protect this man from all costs from the coronavirus!!!!!

[@ivanmrkvc7]

Great job,you are a very good guitar player.Great rhythm,punch,feeling and vibrato.R'n'R for life,greetings from Serbia.

[@Ethravon]

Zakk Wylde's style.....

[@lucas2718]

God damn, Gaku. I've been playing and teaching guitar for 26 years and you'd probably give me a hard core run for my money. Fuckin' flawless. Kudos!

[@amk51909]

that's what happens when you donate a guitar to an orphanage

[@v10ramTony]

[@512banana1]

[@adownbeatexegete1549]

What?

[@pounderpolizzo7269]

An Asian orphanage

[@MrDanielson1012]

Outstanding!!!!!!!

[@jaimeguajardo6169]

Not enough pinch harmonics

[@Geeteaohh]

Excellente!

[@cardfreak05]

There's a difference between being influenced by another musician and completely adapting their style. Gaku, start creating your own style. Don't get me wrong, you're a phenomenal guitarist, I just think you need to start playing through your hands and not through zakk's, you need to use your brain, not zakk's. I'm pretty sure there are some awesome ideas inside that head of yours!

[@Tuuubesh0w]

He doesn't need to do anything, as with anybody else. There's a difference between giving advice/recommending something and to arrogantly come with the "you need to..." attitude. He has obviously been playing a lot of this kinda stuff now, but I don't see why that is something to nag about. Let the man have some fun. There are different kind of guitar players - some just wanna play their favorite songs, not that I'm saying he's like that, but you get the point.

[@Wheelio]

I agree with both of you guys. For starters, he should do whatever he wants to do. If he wants to emulate Zakk Wylde, then let him. There's nothing wrong with that. On the other hand, I feel like Gaku is way too talented to be held down by such a bare-bones guitarist like Zakk Wylde. Honestly, in terms of technical skill I believe Gaku could even be better than Zakk. So it's kind of disappointing in a way seeing someone replicate a guitarist that is obviously below their skill level. But at the end of the day, it's all up to Gaku. :)

[@Leyenda1]

I agree. He obviously has the chops but the sign of a true artist is creativity. Again, not taking anything from him but would you rather see Jake E Lee/ Randy Rhodes live or Gaku? 9 out of ten times we would like to see the original unless it was Hendrix doing Dylan's All Along the Watchtower. But then again Jimi made it his own. I would the ability to play like Gaku...but then again I would be playing Gaku playing ___________

[@dimgrav]

The guy is a very good player, but too much into the Zakk thing. Not only guitar-wise, leather straps, crosses, skull rings... If that pleases him, fine by us, by any means. But I can't grasp to the idea that one would prefer copying others than creating something of their own

[@Leyenda1]

dimgrav To be fair to Gaku there are a whole lot of classical violinist, celloist etc that haven't written a piece of work but are still considered amazing performers. But I still believe that the mark of a true artist is one that writes their own great work.

[@matgaio]

He just doesn't blink at all! =) Kidding... really a nice job!

[@krispynachos9980]

Bark at the pinch harmonic

[@Korneo54]

BEAUTIFUL guitar !!!!!! Cheers from France

[@thbadweather]

are there tabs available for the solo section of zakk wylde?

If the official ozzy band starts up again Gaku should be the next guitarist

[@Rando_Shyte]

Nah, they should pick me
