  • Alex Skolnick is one of my prime influences among guitarists and so I did a little tribute vid the other day with some of my personal favorite leads of his. They ain't note by note, but hey, I tried to bring them justice. It was quite a challenge to rip through this entire thing due to all the key and tempo changes, lots of fun! Hope you guys enjoy as much as I did playing it and be sure to check out Alex and his amazing work! Thanks for the inspiration mate!

      Alex Skolnick is one of my favourite shredders and Return Of Serenity's solo is a masterpiece by itself but none solo created by other than David Gilmour can transmit so many emotions like Comfortably Numb (Pulse version 1994)

    Goddamn, nice work kid. I grew up on the 80s REAL metal scene and it's awesome to see Alex's talent inspiring to this day. Awesome. You're a damn good player who i think captures the essence of what Alex was trying to convey with his solos. Alex's solos to me were like "songs within songs", where they had their own beginning, middle, end, it's own inherent movement, while doing nothing but adding depth and intellect to the overall song. I personally believe Alex Skolnick is one of the finest hard rock / heavy metal / thrash players to ever sling a guitar around his neck.

    • @komodofishing6795
      @komodofishing6795 Před 3 lety

      150% correct about "songs within songs" , i feel sadly the rest of the band was just not up to par with his talent.

Such flawless cover of Alex Skolnick requires much attention; just like you said, great tone, especially phrasing, done clean, really showcases how incredible these solos are.
