Lee.\u00a0\u00a0 Many mistakenly attribute Jake as Ozzy&#8217;s second guitarist, but two other guitarists snuck in there before him (Berne Torme very briefly and Brad Gillis).\u00a0 Jake brought a similar fire to the band, adding several very unique techniques including fake delay, thumb chording, and double octave hammer ons.<\/p>\n<p>The riff from &#8220;Bark At The Moon,&#8221; also uses pedal point, and contains some nasty stretches so make sure your hands are warmed up thoroughly before you attempt this one.<\/p>\n<p>Finally, we have Zakk Wylde. \u00a0 Zakk succeeded Jake E. Lee and brought a stunning vibrato along with speedy pentatonic flurries to Ozzy&#8217;s music.<\/p>\n<p>The riff to &#8220;Miracle Man&#8221; was the first single Ozzy issued with the 21 year old Zakk Wylde.\u00a0 This riff also featured the now familiar pedal point technique.<\/p>\n<p>Let me know in the comments which of the 3 guitarists you prefer.<\/p>\n<p>Video with explanation is below.<\/p>\n<p>Enjoy!<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Ozzy&#039;s Best Guitarist\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/Tml3RHrzxBo?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Ozzy&#8217;s Top 3 Guitarists and Riffs!
