Return To Serenity Second Solo (TESTAMENT) - By Amazing 10 Year Old!

Happy Birthday ‪@TheRealAlexSkolnick‬ 🎉🎂🎁 As a special surprise for you, I am playing the Return To Serenity Second Solo! Hope you have an amazing and wonderful birthday so you can continue to inspire many guitar players like me!
Learning this solo has been great to improve my technical skills. This is the first time I am doing a full bend at the last fret! And nailing those difficult bends is such a satisfying feeling. Also, I improvised a couple of the crazy shreds that Alex Skolnick does (and he makes it look so easy) and I played my version of Carnatic style fast sliding technique that I like to do. Overall I had a great experience learning this solo and I learnt many new things along the way. It took me almost a month to learn and play like this, but it is worth it!
It is an adventure for me when I push my limits each time and it is very satisfying after the hard grinding. Every new thing I learn in guitar makes me very excited too. Hope you all enjoy this video and let's wish ‪@TheRealAlexSkolnick‬ an awesome birthday.

It's so nice to welcome another Testament fan to the fold. Gives hope for the future to us oldies! And if Alex himself likes it, you've got the whole Thrash community cheering you on. 🤘

[@avlshukla]

I consider to be the sickest thrash metal solo ever, right up there with Fade to Black, and you totally crushed it. You rock, sis!

[@MayaNeelakantan]

Thank you! 😊 and I agree. 😃

[@Lizard-of-Oz]

This girl it’s building to be an amazing guitarist. Keep up!

[@rosebud1958]

[@scottjua]

My favorite guitarist. I love the sincerity with every single well wish. Thanks!

[@MayaNeelakantan]

😊 Thank you! It’s the least I can do to make it a special day, especially when they inspire me so much.

[@TheHulksMistress]

Amazing. You’re a better player than I was by my mid 20’s after 15 years of playing lol And damn that’s a beautiful guitar. And orange amps sound amazing ^^

[@MayaNeelakantan]

Thank you so much! I try to challenge myself each time and this solo is probably the toughest I’ve played so far. 😊 And yeah, I love my guitar especially the colour. I’m using the Orange amp temporarily and for 20w it sounds pretty loud. 😁

[@Bricklinsv1970]

Wow! Thats pretty Incredible! You got it!

[@MayaNeelakantan]

😊 Thank you so much!

[@magellan1000]

Wow! Testament is one of my favorite bands ever and you did a great job! 🤘

[@chrisslusher7776]

I saw Testament on the ritual tour with White Zombie back in the early 90s. Legendary band, you rock!🤘😁👍🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@MayaNeelakantan]

They are legendary! 😀

[@stevesack284]

Fantastic as always. I see you are using one of your older guitars versus the Signature Adam Jones Silver burst. I hope it's just taking a rest, and not in need of attention.

[@MayaNeelakantan]

😊 Thank you! I do miss my Adam Jones guitar. I’m travelling in Australia at the moment so I had to leave my AJ guitar safe at home. Can’t wait to go back and play that awesome guitar in a few weeks! 😁

Nice playing keep practicing!

[@4SCOOBYSNACKS]

This is my favorite track on this Album. Return to Serenity.

[@MayaNeelakantan]

Thank you! 😊 And sure, I will listen to UFO. I have listened to scorpions but not UFO or MSG yet.

[@4SCOOBYSNACKS]

@@MayaNeelakantan P.S. If you LikeTool then you will enjoy Rishloo.

[@ubuntuber1619]

My cutie pie kambali pucchii🤗💕 what do you think about playing tool riffs on a Veena?

[@MayaNeelakantan]

😊 I hopefully will get a chance to try that one day. I love Veena and I have played it once. My grandparents said they will buy me one so I can play more Veena at home. Looking forward to it. 😁

[@ubuntuber1619]

@@MayaNeelakantan Maya Veenakantan,..so be it✋🏽😌💕

[@FACF0416]

Just imagine when she polishes her technique

[@MayaNeelakantan]

😊 Thank you! 😁

[@4SCOOBYSNACKS]

Please do me a favor and look up the Band ( In the Silence ) listen to the Song ( 17 Shades ) When I am stressed I always listen to this Song for Comfort. You will definitely hear the Tool influence in their Music,but with their own Style. Hope you enjoy it as much as I do. At 52 it soothes my Soul.

[@MayaNeelakantan]

Wow. Thank you for recommending. I will surely check it out. 😁

[@4SCOOBYSNACKS]

Please do. Very well Choreographed. I have been listening to it for over 5 years now,and it never gets old.

[@howwzer6134]

Nice production and sound. Cool song. Just add a little more guitar practice and you'll become a real star!

[@MayaNeelakantan]

Thank you!! I’m looking forward too to see where this takes me on my guitar journey. 😁
