Alex Skolnick interview – Planetary Coalition

I was not able to catch Alex Skolnick during the 2015 winter NAMM show so we scheduled a Skype call to do the interview. His career has not been the usual one for a Heavy Metal guitar player, he is not afraid to venture into Jazz and World music. Planetary Coalition, his latest album, is a fascinating collection of music with very different musicians. I enjoyed it a lot.

Subjects discussed in the Alex Skolnick interview

• His first guitar
• His training and influences
• The approach he took toward Jazz
• How the Planetary Coalition project was created and recorded
• His next projects
• His word of wisdom for musician
