Stuck in the Box 02: Alex Skolnick on Learning Improvisation

Stuck in the Box is a new series of podcast-style conversations with great guitar teachers. The first few conversations center on the challenges of learning to improvise as a guitarist.

Alex Skolnick is most well known as the lead guitarist of the legendary thrash metal band Testament, but he also leads an excellent jazz trio and has extensive experience teaching guitar. His new book Jazz-Rock Guitar Improvisation is coming out later this year.

I hope you enjoy this entry in what I hope will become an extended series. Subscribe to the newsletter to hear when new episodes go out — and the conversations I mentioned here are all up now: Christian (LoG) Logaglio, Jens Larsen, and Adam Levy.
