“Eerie Inhabitants” Solo

[@DaveyFantom]

19 and writing and playing stuff like this! Alex was so far ahead of every other thrash guitar player!

[@Eduman1979]

When Alex Skolnick playing his solo I don't want it End

Hello are you also one of my fans/supporters out there?

[@bozdoganli666]

I listen Testament since I was 8. I'm 41 and still listening. You are my favorite guitar player!

[@sjdevel]

Amazing solo... amazing guitarist. I first heard Testament in the late 80's (I was 14 / either 88 or 89) and can honestly say it changed my life. I was never interested in guitar until I heard 'Trial by Fire'. I couldn't believe Alex's tone, phrasing, and amazing feel (solos were dark, yet playful)... still my favorite guitarist. Months after hearing this song, I bought my first guitar+amp and took lessons for a few years (moving through a few different teachers) and still play to this day. I did have about 10 years where I didn't play much and gave up on guitar, but have been trying to get back into playing the past few years. I'm finally going to see Testament LIVE later this year! So excited!

[@RoverRick23]

The New Order was my first Testament record and really got me hooked to Thrash Metal. Will forever be among my favorite albums of all time. Thanks for all the amazing stuff, it’s mind blowing to come up with this quality as a teenager.

[@LifeHawkeye]

Yep same. It was a very dark year for me socially as a 14 year old kid with next to zero friends and I had just started playing guitar. I think I had seen the video to trial by fire and I was hooked. Alex’s playing inspired my own playing tremendously though I am nowhere near his level don’t get me wrong. Think it’s time for me to catch up with Old Testament material again!

[@senseifumichronicles344]

OMG! One of my favorites! Besides the technical musicianship, to me, Alex's intros and solos often sounds like a story is being told. As if to say "listen, I've got something to tell you...". Love it!

[@psydvckk]

first solo of alex ive ever heard!

[@dickslickerson486]

Listen to the whole album it is very satisfying, you will be like " marty who?" 😮

[@psydvckk]

@@dickslickerson486 ive listened to it shit lot of times, although i prefer practice what you preach. And ur right sometimes im like "marty who? sir alex skolnick is better" and the otherwise, both are probably the most influential shredders in my life

[@dickslickerson486]

It’s so damn tasty, I’ve always loved Alex’s playing. TESTAMENT RULES.

[@DomicidalCovers]

Hell yeah! I was just jamming to this one last week! I still remember hearing this solo for the first time about 18-20 years ago after buying the album and going in completely blind. Such a contrast from the first half of the song, but man there was no going back after that first solo, I loved every song on that album from the first listen!

[@walkandcamp]

I must have watched this 200 times now. Amazing.

[@Yupppi]

I've loved this solo and song since I heard it as a teenager! Such evil atmosphere and beautiful licks.

[@krisstieghorst7415]

Fantastic Alex💯 ,Thank You 🤟👋🖤🦋🖤

[@kirkawilson]

It's really cool that you're taking the time to do your AWESOME SOLOS for your fans, because most of the time we gotta watch people do guitar covers to appreciate the artists a little more.

[@metalmark1214]

Great guitar solo Alex🤘

[@Daniel_Ocon]

I am studying this solo and although I am close, I was doing some of the arpeggios a bit incorrectly. I’m glad you put out this video so that us mere mortals can learn and appreciate what you have written.

[@fernandogil2468]

After i finished listening to The New Order, i was convinced that Alex is the best lead guitarist in the whole bay area thrash scene

[@Garbrel80]

One of my favorite solos from TheUnrealAlexSkolnick. I spent so much time with those first six Testament albums in my youth. They are etched in my soul. You were 19 on The New Order? Good lord.... You all looked young on the CD inserts but I thought you were at least old enough to drink. 😲

Insane solo! 🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘

[@RedFlyRuledByTheRiff]

Oh no way!! Thank you so much! The guitar on this album is godlike and so is the tone! I just love your style on these albums, a little more neo classic feel. So good man. You’ve inspired me my whole life.

[@HectorFerretis]

Wow, just wow... 🔥

[@the_hippykiller22]

Thanks for these videos, I'm using them to decipher the solos I'm learning and they're definitely helpful!

Hi Alex, would really like to hear one of these for “The Legacy”, but also have you do a little bit of explanation of how you came up with the solos for this track.

[@AlexSkolnick-ok4ub]

Hello are you also one of my fans/supporters out there?

[@lukeparsons1187]

@@AlexSkolnick-ok4ub hi Alex. Yes, I grew up listening to Souls of Black album when it was first released and fell in love with The Legacy solos. It was like nothing I had heard before and I couldn't get enough of it. The contrast between the heavy guitar in the verses, bridge and chorus, and to the solos was heavenly. So I'd really like to hear a break down of The Legacy from your point of view.
