Maya, the stars of the guitar world are aligning themselves to be in your path, that's how special the fates think you are! What an amazing experience!
This particular day I needed this for my soul,Sometimes the world we live in is so heavy and full of negativity,Just watching this wonderful and sweet girl reaching for her dreams and the kind and generous people she meets along the way is very uplifting!
I grew up late teens in the Bay Area during the thrash 80’s. It was the greatest time of my life. Bay Area Thrash forever! Great of all these legends to take you in… you and your family are wonderful people. hope you have great success young lady.
My ”feeling” of Alex since the first time he responded to my chat and afterwards is he is an absolutely genuine person. Combining that with musical terms he is more of a kind, resonant, sound being that we wish we have more of 😃👍 And that appraisal doesn’t take away anything of Maya’s talent. 😊
It is a great and spiritual tradition and still evolving. It inspired me so much I went into the foothills of California in the 60s and 70s and meditated in an abandoned mine for many years to learn the Dharma of the Muni (buddhas).
What a heart warming story! Maya, you have been blessed with a gift from God and I know you will bless your fans with so much great music. Thanks for sharing your stories with us all.
Alex is my all-time favorite guitarist very versatile master showman and a cool Dude. So, neat to see him passing the Torch to a younger generation. You are amazing too! Congrats and much success to you!

Wow, such a great experience with Alex Skolnick, and you also met Mike Stern and Pete Thorn just by chance when you were in that guitar shop! The stars and planets must have been very specially aligned when you were born, Maya!
Thank you so much! 🙏 My music journey is becoming a documentary. 😃 Thanks to my parents for capturing my moments. I love looking back at these videos and relive those special moments again. 😊
I took a buddy of mine to his first Testament show ever and he got to meet the band….we talked to Alex and Chuck for a bit….took pictures with them…a night we will never forget.
Maya you are a very talented, gifted young girl and clearly all the guitar legends recognize this in you 🎸You are already a star and will go even further and the world will be watching and cheering you on⭐
You are not only a great guitarist. You are also a very articulate young lady. And I had the chance to briefly speak to Mr. Skolnick before a Testament show one evening, and yes, he is very nice.
It's so great to see a new generation embrace not only the guitar but thrash metal. Exodus/Slayer, Testament and Forbidden all getting behind you shows a great side of the metal community. Metal brings so many different kinds of people together. Rock on, I wish you all the best.
I’m so happy for you Maya getting to meet and play with so many of your guitar idols! Learning their techniques and their skills will remain with you always. You’re a very lucky girl!

You have noticed and appreciated the beauty of music in both western and Carnatic music and that shows how keen your mind is to learn all great things. May Goddess Sarasvati continue to bless you. You are indeed a very rare one of a kind soul. Keep it that way ! Jai Ho !!

Congratulations, Maya, both on your well-deserved success, and on meeting one of my all-time musical heroes!!! I, too, met Alex *years* ago when he made an appearance at Berklee College of Music in Boston, and although I, sadly, did not eat or jam with him, he was every bit as warm, gracious, and unnecessarily humble as he appeared on your video😁 The world, especially now, desperately needs more souls to radiate beauty and peace through art, so it makes me really happy and hopeful to see talented, young musicians like you learning from masters like Alex, and sharing your gifts with us all. Many warm wishes for continued success🤘🙌
