As previously reported, video footage of Skolnick giving a lesson on how to play TSO's "Wizards of Winter" for a CD-ROM that was included with the January 2007 issue of Guitar World magazine has been posted online at YouTube.com.

In addition to TESTAMENT and TRANS-SIBERIAN ORCHESTRA, Skolnick is a member of THE ALEX SKOLNICK TRIO and the touring version of "Jekyll & Hyde, The Musical".

"I don't see myself as limited to one style," Alex recently told Rod Harmon of HeraldTribune.com. "Life is diverse and interesting, and I think music should be the same thing as well."

"What really got me interested in jazz was seeing Miles Davis with an electric band (on television)," Skolnick said. "At the time, I didn't even realize it was jazz. I studied with some musicians who explained to me what that music was, and how it came from traditional jazz. So the only way I was going to get a grip on that music was to learn traditional jazz."
