ToneConcepts Interviews: Alex Skolnick - Versatility

[@eamonnryan6602]

Was lucky to study with Alex for a week in New York, such a humble guy & a great down to earth guy.. I have nothing but respect for this man 😎🎸✨

[@toneconcepts]

Thank you for your comment. Alex is a fantastic artist and has been a great friend of ours. Visit our website in early 2017 for some great news from both of us ...

[@eamonnryan6602]

Already did thanks though for the headsup 😉😎🎸

So strange, I did some guitar lessons with you Eamonn years back. I'm heavily influenced by Skolnick now, and I always remembered you saying you met the guitar player from Testament and telling me how good he was, you had a photo with him. And here I am now, at 3.30am watching a Skolnick interview, and see your name in a comment below! lol small world.

[@peevee605]

Think I got myself a new influence. Skolnick is nothing but great.

[@BigCatloveskitten74]

Skolnick is the best one alive today. Believe me

[@toneconcepts]

Thank you guys, glad you liked the interview and appreciate Alex's playing. He's a great guy along with a super talented multi-genre guitar player. Some news coming from Alex and us soon ...

[@James-hh1lq]

Awesome guitarist and musician

[@adrianwalsh9528]

Alex Slonick is a excellent guitarest !!!

[@playAgainMe]

never a huge fan of testament but the guys in testament got a firm grip on their bands sound.. Erica and Alex make it happen.

[@reverenddisciple]

Jesus, the hot for teacher tapping is where the end of the disciples of the watch solo came from. Mind is blown.

[@mrmaybe]

Right? These little bits of history just make my day.

[@sixstringswl]

Yes! I get a kick out of things like that. If you jump fwd to practice what you preach and listen to the ballad you'll see some lead work figures that resemble the Randy Rhodes lick he was playing. In my mind any way. Up part of an arp and down part of a scale. A position played phrygian.

[@evalex71]

Great interview and great interviewer

[@krisross8818]

So many successful guitarists were at one time under Satriani's tutelage. I didn't know Skolnick was among them. You got Jeff Tyson, Hammett, Vai, Larry LaLonde, and now Skolnick. It must have been frustrating seeing many of his students gain success before he did.

[@satchsatch33]

+Kris Ross And many more famous guitar players were Joe Satriani's students......Charlie Hunter, David Bryson, Doug Doppler, Kevin Cadogan, Rick Hunholt.....

[@jarekstepniak]

nice !!

[@johnloughner6572]

I saw that tour with motorhead, testament, heaven and hell, and Judas priest. Fucking amazing.

[@elevenAD]

[@coolmusic1579]

"That is a big one." That's what she said.😄🎸

[@stonerdrums]

He was talking about odd lineups for shows. The biggest odd lineup I witnessed was, 1st band Type o Negative, 2nd band Kings X, Headliner Motley Crue.

[@philwittke2983]

After "X" ..time to go .....lols

[@KingKull1971]

​@Phil Wittke pretty much. Even Ritchie Blackmore said, he "wouldn't want to follow King's X."

[@OpnDoarPlcy]

15:20 Disciples!!!!

[@erencelikkanat7421]

"You are fucki...(ok it's not appropriate here) you are playing to a very small crowd." 4:55

[@angrytroll27]

[@beardfish8]

[@streetwarrior31]

most of us, are copy some others ideas but a very few ones, take them to another level and push it way better. Nothiing bad of that....Because first you need to learn with the best ones....then, the studend get it higher than his master

[@davidg1612]

The interview was great, well thought out and informative but not as much fun as the interviewer was to look at. She's really cute.

[@vikingowieckorozonek5991]

[@MrCami941]

This man who was hanging the camera needs some help.
