Ozzy Osbourne’s lead guitarist Zakk Wylde, one of the greatest guitarists alive today, recently chose five young musicians as winners of the Master Class contest. Among those winners, Wylde chose Daniel Mahanger of the band Thirteen.
Zakk Wylde together with a judging panel chose the five winners on the basis of their technique, authenticity, originality, and style, according to the Master Class, Amplifier TV website.
Zakk Wylde, the famed guitarist of The Black Lable Society, currently playing for Ozzy Osbourne, could not have picked a better musician than Daniel Mahanger. Daniel’s work with Thirteen is both creative and flawless. See two of the Thirteen band’s videos below.
Ozzy Osbourne inspired Thirteen’s guitarist from the beginning according to an interview with 50Third And 3rd. When Daniel was only 13-years-old he heard his friend Rick play a few riffs from Ozzy Osbourne’s “Crazy Train” and the rest is history.
