Guitarist Alex Skolnick has the uncanny ability to play jazz for appreciative heavy metal fans, as well as play metal songs for adoring jazz aficionados. Maybe this is because he is both a rock guitarist and jazz guitarist rolled into one, combining the melodies of his favorite heavy rock songs (including those by Rush and Ozzy Osbourne) with the subtleties and nuances of a veteran jazz performer. It's this combination that's earned him praise from two opposing ends of the musical spectrum. And that was something once viewed as an impossible feat.
