This weekend saw the final of Guitar Idol at the London Guitar Show and congratulations most go to all the contestants who played superbly and aquitted themsleves with upmost professionalism. The organizers, All Out Guitar, Lick library and Guitar Buyer have excelled themselves with this competition and it can only go from strength to strength. The winner was Gustavo Guerra from Brazil, a happy chappy who also plays a mean axe and is a natural performer. A little bird tells me that a certain Vendetta guitarst was one of the judges for the big day!
Check out the links to see some action from the show.
