Twitter for iPhone : A pic I took a week ago suddenly has new meaning…
Twitter for iPhone : A proper NYC show has been lobbied for - its now finally happening (you’re welcome 🤗 ). This had to be kept quiet until NJ, LI & surrounding NY area shows were completed (regional contract thing). Now, grab your ticket & let’s show everyone that NYC must never be skipped again!!
Twitter for iPhone : Recently, I spoke with reverb.com about my current warmups, which lately include plenty of diminished shapes (great for stretching and finding unique melodies).
Joe at Reverb did an impressive job learning these ideas. Now you can too:
Twitter for iPhone : Absolutely shocked to hear of the passing of Trevor Strnad of The Black Dahlia Murder😢 Trevor was part of the Metal Allegiance family having sung on our song The Accuser as well as joining us for shows in 2018 & 2019 My deepest condolences to his bandmates, friends & family 🙏 #RIPTrevorStrnad
Twitter for iPhone : Totally shocking news. Truly great guy/artist. Testament was supposed to tour with the band (derailed by Covid) and it was a blast to work with him in Metal Allegiance. Huge loss.

Twitter for iPhone : Thanx 🙏🏼. Going against the grain has challenges. I was put down for playing too “musically” back when thrash gtr was supposed to be more punk (pre Marty/Kiko etc). Then, i took up jazz gtr, which is more accepted now..but I admit I’m kind of asking for jt doing political rap!Lol
Twitter for iPhone : He comes close! Listen to this Pat Metheny track and pay attention about 2 minutes in: youtu.be/KAcr39zCvqM
Twitter Web App : Alex Skolnick 🇺🇦 You sat in on a jazz gig I was doing with NP, and you killed it! So fun, and I've been playing jazz for about 30 years. I was taught that longevity is the real indicator of success - haven't you been playing with your trio for almost 2 decades give or take? Begone trolls!
Twitter for iPhone : People far more qualified than you think I’m doing just fine w jazz guitar. I play great venues w/fine players worldwide, balanced with thrash because I enjoy both - not about $ (there ain’t much). Either way, I don’t have to explain myself to you, you walking inferiority complex
