Once again the coolest guitar competition on the planet, Guitar Idol 2009 drew thousands of entries from around the world and the standard was fantastic.
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 destination for guitarists, we’re proud to sponsor any initiative that gives recognition to aspiring players.
The live webcast of the event was a great success with tens of thousands of viewers worldwide watching the finals live and voting for their winning performance.

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, Jack Thammarat from Thailand, and to the other 11 finalists who travelled from all over the world to be there.
Jack walked away with a PRS custom 24 presented to him by PRS endorsee Ace from Skunk Anansie, plus a Marshall JVM stack. He was also awarded a special prize of a £3000 custom guitar made by Rob Williams Guitars.
Congratulations also to everyone else who took part – you helped make Guitar Idol 2009 competition a monster.
