- 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.

Carnatic classical musicians….. are magicians PERIOD
Alex is one of my favorite guitarist he plays all style's of music. It's very important to listen and learn from other music genre's and have an open mind towards them. Maya it's so exciting to watch your journey and always Thrash On!!!!!
Thank you so much! Yes, Alex Skolnick inspires me a lot on that. Starting with heavy metal he evolved into learning and mixing other genres. That’s amazing. 😊

Where is she originally from? Cos her accent is definitely not regular SOuth Indian? (it doesn't matter, just curious)
So amazing that rock/metal is in good hands. All the best to the young lady. Go on and do big things.
Her accent is very much English educated middle class in South India. That is how they speak because even within Family and with friends speaking in English is a regular practice. Interspersed with the native original languages.
@@madhugreenleaf11 I'm South Indian and this is not the regular accent unless educated in some fancy school with expat children. And no this is not how we speak at home.
@@Whatreally123 That is how my children and I speak and we are south Indian middle class too. Also keep in mind when speaking to a western audience you need to slow down your speech and elongate the words to be easily comprehensible to them, since generally Indians tend to speak very fast. That is the only difference.
What songs did he teach u how to play?
We jammed couple of testament songs but for learning I asked him a lot about various techniques and he taught me that and showed me how I can get better at it. 😃😊 I’ll share more on that in the future once I grind those advanced techniques. 😁
Nice job. Stay normal. Do good.
Definitely. 😊
No way!

Putting “10 years old” seems to become an ad and it’s not adding any charm.
