Guitar Idol 2008 was conceived as an online worldwide talent search to find the next generation of guitar heroes... and boy did it deliver! Already the biggest guitar competition in history, between March 21st 2008 and the live Grand Final on June 14th 2008 almost half a million people visited, voted, or entered the competition. On June 14th thousands of guitar fans witnessed 12 future guitar stars do battle with a crack live band on the main stage at The London International Music Show to be crowned Guitar Idol 2008. With nearly 1000 contestants truly spanning the globe, the standard was overwhelmingly high. Eventually with a combination of public votes and a panel of industry professionals, 12 outstanding finalists were chosen. The 12 finalists performed to a huge audience and a panel of industry judges. After nearly two hours of explosive guitar talent, the judges eventually picked the deserving winner - Gustavo Guerra from Brazil - Guitar Idol 2008! You can even watch the video of the final here.
