- Meeting Alex Skolnick! Recently when I was in New York I got the huge honor of meeting the legend himself, Alex Skolnick from Testament and I got to hang out with him the whole day! It was truly a very unforgettable experience. He first took me and my family out for lunch and the first time I ever had South Indian food after coming to the USA was treated by Alex Skolnick himself. What a story to tell. After that we went for a walk around New York city where he showed me around the city and then went to the 30th Street Guitar shop. This was a very unique experience since I got to experience a New York style independently owned guitar shop. I met many amazing people here and also bumped into Mike Stern and Pete Thorn. I also got the honor of jamming with him and my favourite part - a special one-on-one mini-concert I got to witness! It was just mind blowing watching his flawless techniques and perfect guitar playing right in front of me. I got even more inspired. He also taught me so many new things and I got to ask him many questions and he patiently taught me everything. The hardest thing this day was saying goodbye to him at the end. We hung out for almost 5 hours that day and he is everything I expected him to be - truly humble, very kind, very supportive and most of all a true Guitar God!
Thank you Alex Skolnick for creating one of the beautiful days in my life that I will forever remember!
Also, a special thanks to 30th Street Guitars for having me there and to their awesome owners who are so friendly. This is a really special place indeed.

Hi Maya, after seeing your audition on AGT, I have been a fan. I think you are a lovely young woman who has the greatest talent and believe you will be a major star. All the best to you, Indian Princess and Rock Goddess. ❤
Maya, I amazed by your passion, learning right lessons and keeping yourself humble when such legends shower all their grace, goodwill and knowledge on you. You have noticed and appreciated the beauty of music in both western and Carnatic music and that shows how keen your mind is to learn all great things. May Goddess Sarasvati continue to bless you. You are indeed a very rare one of a kind soul. Keep it that way ! Jai Ho !!
Congratulations, Maya, both on your well-deserved success, and on meeting one of my all-time musical heroes!!! I, too, met Alex *years* ago when he made an appearance at Berklee College of Music in Boston, and although I, sadly, did not eat or jam with him, he was every bit as warm, gracious, and unnecessarily humble as he appeared on your video😁
The world, especially now, desperately needs more souls to radiate beauty and peace through art, so it makes me really happy and hopeful to see talented, young musicians like you learning from masters like Alex, and sharing your gifts with us all. Many warm wishes for continued success🤘🙌
Amazing congrats! 🙂🎸🎶

Very lucky you. Very few people get those opportunities.
You are lucky
Carnatic classical musicians….. are magicians PERIOD
So happy for U Maya
Rock goddess of our country, you will rule over American music, audition is just a trailer.
Maya, you are really fortunate to meet all the talented musicians. As you are a guitarist, I would seriously suggest checking out Joe Satrani. He is the best. Check his "The Golden Room" presentation.
