We knew Guitar Idol would be big, but even we at Lick Library were taken aback by just how big it was. As the world’s leading online guitar tuition resource, we’re proud to sponsor any initiative that gives recognition to aspiring players – and we’re well aware that there’s a huge well of unsung talent out there. Nonetheless, the response to this competition exceeded all our expectations, with website visits running at double their normal rate during the competition. And the standard, we have to admit, was frankly incredible.

Most gratifying of all, when it came to the moment of truth – the showdown, on the live stage at the London Guitar Show – all the finalists stepped up to be counted, handled the pressure and gave the packed house a performance to remember. Congratulations, then, to the winner, Gustavo Guerra from Brazil, to the other 11 finalists who travelled from all over the world to be there. And congratulations also to everyone else who took part – you helped make this inaugural Guitar Idol competition a monster.

There’s still a massive amount of interest, both in Guitar Idol 2008 and in the plans for Guitar Idol 2009, and you can catch up with all the latest news right here on LickLibrary.com’s Guitar Idol channel.
