You should have at least 800k views for this immaculate performance. Three decades ago you would definitely been on MTVs head bangers ball and other related shows. How time has changed in a negative way and what kind of "music" people like to listen to nowadays.

This guy's album preferences are very clear haha I'm just glad to see Malpractice on here Definitely Testaments most underrated song imo and the solo and the riff that precedes it/it ends on destroysssss
This is just incredible! The fact that he does all the leads in one take is insane. How does anybody down vote this? I need to see videos of them playing.
I can't believe this vid doesn't have millions of views. I've been coming back to it every now and then just to listen to all my fav solos in one place!
Fantastic solos, so well designed and balanced.. Alex Skolnick one of the best of all time in metal.. no doubt! his legacy is amazing and a few come close to his melodic talent and ideas.. I´m just as influenced as you on this aspect, love Alex´s playing since I was in high school, played some of his iconic solos, love the expression, the feeling, the melody and techniques.. I met him backstage Testament´s concert in Colombia yeeears ago jeje it was a great moment for me, said everything I had to say to him about his influence on me and all my admiration!
Alex Skolnick is one of my favourite shredders and Return Of Serenity's solo is a masterpiece by itself but none solo created by other than David Gilmour can transmit so many emotions like Comfortably Numb (Pulse version 1994)
Incredible playing! Souls of Black and The Ritual are the two best Testament albums by far and showcase Skolnick's brilliant technique. "So Many Lies" I believe is his most unbelievable solo of all time.
Funny that I always thought the best Testament solos Alex did were on Souls of Black and The Ritual and this tribute is from these two albums. I love his work on other albums also - specially on the first album, but Souls of Black and Ritual solos are something else
Goddamn, nice work kid. I grew up on the 80s REAL metal scene and it's awesome to see Alex's talent inspiring to this day. Awesome. You're a damn good player who i think captures the essence of what Alex was trying to convey with his solos. Alex's solos to me were like "songs within songs", where they had their own beginning, middle, end, it's own inherent movement, while doing nothing but adding depth and intellect to the overall song. I personally believe Alex Skolnick is one of the finest hard rock / heavy metal / thrash players to ever sling a guitar around his neck.
Possibly the best recommendation I've ever gotten from youtube!! Sublime playing throughout, you really nail that Skolnick tone and phrasing, amazing job sir!
@@sweeptapper I agree, it's just that YT algorithm is obviously weird, this should have been recommended ages ago so the guy could get more exposure, he deserves it. Such flawless cover of Alex Skolnick requires much attention; just like you said, great tone, especially phrasing, done clean, really showcases how incredible these solos are. I'm tired of getting recommendations of generic funny guitar videos, or generic covers/analysis of overrated Kirk Hammett solos/Metallica songs.
@@davorbrijacak Totally agrre bro, I was shocked to find out how old his vids were and why i had never heard of him at all! His album has been on repeat ever since!
Excellent playing!!! This brought back a lot of memories for me. I remember buying The Ritual and Souls of Black on cassette back in the day when these albums first came out. Great stuff my friend🤘🏾🔥🎶🤘🏾🔥🎼🤘🏾🔥🎶

Fantastic playing man! I think I've only learned one of Alex's solos in full, but his influence on me is as large as anyone. My use of arpeggios came from how he plays them and I've definitely picked up a lot of his phrasing and 5 note runs.
That's some flawless playing. Love sweep picking and legato..Perfect technique! I've been playing 25 years and although I'm good, I make mistakes, you don't seem to. The les Paul sounds better than the Carvin.
Listening Testament from the beginning, you are the best Testament guitar player I've ever heard.. Also you definitely chosed their best solos 👏👏 great both you and Skolnick
Holy shit this is amazing. Must have taken forever to compose all that stuff together. Like all the other commentors Alex is one of my idols. Props bruh!!
Thank you for this pearl and for doing sound justice to the guitarist who was and will be a revolutionary of the harmony within the heavy. I greet you from Argentina
Awesome Jarle! TestAmenT is my fave band of all time and you're really doing these solos justice. I hope to see another tribute with solos from Practice and New Order soon.
Skolnick is my favorite guitarist of all time! He is a guitar God! You just totally made my day man! Thank you! and awesome covers!! His phrasing and style and creativity are extraordinary!
I'm surprised that your guitar didn't just catch fire! That's jut too much heat played consecutively! Most people wait 4-5 minutes between Skolnick solos.
I'm glad UA-cam finally gets who my favorite guitarist of all time is and started recommending the good shit! Sucks they couldn't have given me this 3 years ago but better late than never. Cheers & great job man!! 🤘🤘
Nice work Mr. Jarle! Skolnick was my fav artist for all my teen years. And the two LP's that you played are in my top 5 metal albums. For an accomplished guitarist Skolnick is a necessary step and you made it pretty good! Congrats! Now Testament has a decent alternative if they lose Skolnick again. :) Also, I'm happy to see that guitarists still impress girls nowadays. :D
Amazing Jarle!!! Perhaps the most impressive solo medley made for Alex I have ever seen! You nailed those solos so well, and the tones you use - just mesmerizing!! Keep up the great work bro ;)

@@Zyborggian I still have, AND wear my Malpractice tour shirt from 1991, and yes, I was at the show lol
Genial el detalle, muchas gracias.

not that hard if you are serious into guitar playing....

Return to serenity is the best solo created by mankind
And a dirge(musical death) another skolnick masterpiece
Alex Skolnick is one of my favourite shredders and Return Of Serenity's solo is a masterpiece by itself but none solo created by other than David Gilmour can transmit so many emotions like Comfortably Numb (Pulse version 1994)
so fucking GOOOOD!
Necrophagist solos as well
Skolnick’s main solo from the ballad The Legacy; now that’s a solo.
thank you for playing the most underrated album ever, souls of black.
Who would rate this with a thumb-down??? That's is maybe the best ever presentation of the best ever thrash solos!
Alex was the reason for me to learn metal/jazz.. Nice work on this...
Fucking great, Skolnick is one of the most talentous guitar player in the world.
Amazing. ..!! Asombroso man!! Tremendo trabajo!!!
Incredible playing! Souls of Black and The Ritual are the two best Testament albums by far and showcase Skolnick's brilliant technique. "So Many Lies" I believe is his most unbelievable solo of all time.
Amazing playing, amazing sound
Should anything ever happen to Alex, we’ve found the perfect backup. Fucking nailed them all, in one take.
You are awesome, and have achieved the greatness of Skolnick
HOLY SHIT..Im gonna watch this again and again. NAILED IT.
Funny that I always thought the best Testament solos Alex did were on Souls of Black and The Ritual and this tribute is from these two albums. I love his work on other albums also - specially on the first album, but Souls of Black and Ritual solos are something else
Electric crown ! He killed that shit.
skolnick is my role model since 1988 , great playing , you nailed it , very talented .excellent

150% correct about "songs within songs" , i feel sadly the rest of the band was just not up to par with his talent.
Awesome work! :)
This peace of master deserve over a million of views!
Dude ... you are awesome!
My favorite lead guitarist. You nailed it.
Cool ! I had a tape in my walkman where i had cut all Skolnick solos together like that. Yeehaw to good memories ;)
I did that with the Return to serenity solo, repeated many times in a cassette. 😊
oh God bless your hands, Jarle... you're so talented and very handsome either... ❤
Impressive guitar playing 👌🤘🏿
Possibly the best recommendation I've ever gotten from youtube!! Sublime playing throughout, you really nail that Skolnick tone and phrasing, amazing job sir!
2 years late though.

That was so tasty! Seven Days of May is a hidden gem! Amazing playing!!
Ive always loved that lead.... But every lead on SOB is worth the wait. Read into that whatever you like ;)
Wicked playing man... 👏👏👏🎸🎸🎸
I Believe Mr. Skolnick is impressed , I am .
Every solo single guitar solo I ever loved to hear all on one video, thank you for doing this.
That was incredibly good, not just technically but the feel was amazing!
Amazing! Skolnick is one of my main influences as well. Great job!
Very, very well done! A real tribute to a Master (Monster)

Amazing!!!! You made my day.
Alex is the best. All his solos are singable and completely savage at the same time.

Skolnick is my favorite guitarist of all time! He is a guitar God! You just totally made my day man! Thank you! and awesome covers!! His phrasing and style and creativity are extraordinary!
Alex is so unique as a player. He's beyond brilliant as a player.

Skolnick, the best composed solos of thrash world, good job!! Backing track please!!!
Yes with Marty 😉
Your chops are rediculously good.. Tone, feeling you got it brother! Goddamn... You definitely inspire me to woodshed and thank you for doing so!
I'm glad UA-cam finally gets who my favorite guitarist of all time is and started recommending the good shit! Sucks they couldn't have given me this 3 years ago but better late than never.

Beautiful, cool skills!! So "round" guitar sound, wow
Amazing! How can you remember all that?! Excellent!
Loved the guitar switch haha 1st class stuff my freind.
That was so goddamn amazing. One hell of a tribute!
DemonRider909 a like doesn't really do the comment or video justice. This was just amazing
Amazing Jarle!!! Perhaps the most impressive solo medley made for Alex I have ever seen! You nailed those solos so well, and the tones you use - just mesmerizing!! Keep up the great work bro ;)
You sound excellent Jarle.
A real tribute, to a master by a master. 👍
Would love to see solos from PWYP and my favorite, TNO. But SOB solos were insane, great tribute sir.
