Začetki in kariera uredi

Sklar je študiral glasbo na univerzi California State University v Northridgeu. Med šolanjem se je srečal z Jamesom Taylorjem, ki ga je povabil k igranju basa. Oba sta menila, da bo njuno sodelovanje kratkotrajno, vendar se je, po posneti prvi plošči, Taylorjeva kariera začela vzpenjati in sodelovanje se je nadaljevalo. Kmalu so Sklarja vabili na snemanje različni izvajalci in njegova dolga kariera se je začela. Kot studijski glasbenik je Sklar sodeloval z imeni kot so: Linda Ronstadt, James Taylor, Hall & Oates, Jackson Browne, Phil Collins, Clint Black, Reba McEntire, George Strait, Willie Nelson, Steven Curtis Chapman, Nils Lofgren, Lisa Loeb, … [2][3]

Leta 2004 je Sklar začel igrati na pet-strunsko bas kitaro, izdelovalca Dingwall Guitars iz Saskatoona, Saskatchewan, Kanada.[5]

Leta 2010 je Sklar začel uporabljati bas kitaro Warwick Star Bass II, ki je postala njegov glavni studijski inštrument.[6]
