 | | Skolnick immediately became a much in-demand guitarist, as he either performed or recorded with the likes of Primus bassist Les Claypool and Primus/Guns N' Roses drummer Brain, bassist Michael Manring, Ozzy Osbourne, Miles Davis, keyboardist Adam Holzman, the Trans-Siberian Orchestra, and even Les Miserables/Jeckyl and Hyde Broadway actor Rob Evan, among others. |
 | | It was also during this time that Skolnick began being recognized for his six-string talents, racking up awards in polls held by such renowned guitar publications as Guitar for the Practicing Musician and Guitar World (the latter for which Skolnick contributed an instructional column for a spell). |
 | | Relocating to New York City during the late '90s, Skolnick began performing regularly in the area as the Alex Skolnick Trio, in addition to earning a BFA in jazz performance from Manhattan's New School University (where he studied with Richie Beirach, George Garzone, Hal Galper, and Cecil McBee). |
