Alex, I disagree I have both of your signature Guitars one hard tail, and one with the Floyd Rose they both sound different but one does not sound better than the other. They are outstanding Guitars! 20:16 20:16

One of my favorite solos! First time I heard it, I was blown away. Alex, you skipped a few parts though 😉

@3:16 that mofo just went loco for like 4 seconds.

Not only is he insanely good he knows exactly what he is playing musically, there many great guitar players that have no idea the theory of what there playing, his knowledge is impressive.🎸

One of the finest thrash guitar players ever in the pages of the books of history

Lmao, when started to play the phrygian 😂💀

In d# you say..../me leaves

Why even attempt to learn this? It’s insane!

This guy is a musical genius

The truly great guitarists, when citing influences or inspirations, always draw from a deep well. The typical shredder will say "I was listening to Dimebag" or "I was listening to Def Leppard" or something. The greats say "I was listening to flamenco, Jeff Beck, or this mariachi guy, John McLaughlin, Bach, SRV..."

Love Bar no.31 - 32

I noticed something weird. I have seen 2 different tutorials of this solo (this and a different one) and in each one Alex omits the same 4 bar section of the solo! Those of u who know the solo really well probably noticed. I'm not a lead guitarist or a theory whiz but it's a section where he does an ascending tritone (I think) lick with legato trills and its ends with 2 handed tapping. Can't be a coincidence that he skipped that part in 2 different vids haha. It would've occurred at 12:30 in this vid.

It's like Einstein himself breaking down all his theories in front of you.

How could you possibly dislike this man's guitar work?! Goddamn

Alex is a musical genius for sure.

The PWYP solo is a worthy rival to "Tornado Of Souls" as the best-ever epic solo in a Thrash Metal context. Skolnick vs. Friedman!! Who wins??

such a beast

Can't believe it! My favourite testament solo and one of my favourite solos of all times taught by the man himself! Thanx a lot bro.

Was this recorded with a Samsung?

Alex is fucken Amazing

Can’t imagine The Hamster doing anything like this with Alex’s eloquence and musical theory knowledge.

0.75 speed for retired Skolnick. x)

the best solo of the world..............beatiful...loved

great player....nuff said...

Alex is a monster

Man this guy is a genius! Love his guitar playing!

Hold On.

Thanks for this video, it's help me for my cover 🤘🏻 ruclips.net/video/Sf3HdMC2SXc/видео.html

Alex is a musical genius, it's very compelling to watch him construct a solo...

Best solo i have ever heard in a metal song and believe me I dont get impressed easilly,you can repeatedly hear this solo 100 times in a row and not get bored of it. Thumbs up Skolnick

Wow cool!

This guys guitar solos are the best ... I love Megadeths guitar riffs and solos but Testament just slightly eclipses that ... But respect to both . Megadeth And Testament all day for me 🙂

My favorite metal guitarist of all time, besides marty friedman

I I'll love Alex skolnick!

Why did he teach it in Eb tuning :( Just makes it harder to figure out but I'm slowly getting it

Nice vid! btw, was this recorded on a potato?

Half scale minor half major? weird...

Goddamn that Hertitage sounds amazing and you know it plays amazing as well!

Been a fan since The New Order. Skolnick...'NUFF SAID

I'm not a guitarist, but I love music, especially metal of all sorts, and Testament is one of my favorite bands. I enjoy learning things about music, Alex makes it interesting to learn about how he makes music.

Bay area musicians are the best

I've been playing for a little over a year now and am just beginning to try lead stuff. Listening to this man talk is both insanely confusing and incredibly inspiring. He's my favorite lead player by far... Glad he's still making incredible music

Still one of my favorite solos of all time. It’s so elaborate and good sounding. You feel the mode changes and it gives it a strange fabulous vibe.

So 95% of guitars use 95% pentatonic scale and Alex use it only a small part of the solo

that solo is so well composed.

Skolnick and Marty Friedman are the best in the trash power metal scene out there oh and Gus G who recently made a name with his band Fire Wind

Alex Skolnick is a fucking legend.

Cool stuff :)

Alex Skolnick was/is the most talented guitarist of the thrash scene by far. All of his solos are very vocal and singable. These guys have never gotten the credit they deserved.
