Online Guitar Competition, Guitar Idol, to Hold Finals at LIMS

by Staff.

Organizers of the London International Music Show (LIMS) have announced that the finals of the online guitar competition, Guitar Idol, will be held at this year's LIMS on Saturday, June 14. Guitarists interested in competing can submit an original composition or play over downloadable backing tracks featuring a wide variety of styles. Submissions should be uploaded to www.guitar-idol.co.uk and be kept to approximately three minutes in length. The ten players who receive the largest number of votes from the public and a panel of judges will participate at the London Guitar Show (part of LIMS) on June 14.

The Guitar Idol winner will receive a number of prizes, including an appearance as the opening act for guitar great Joe Satriani. “I’m looking for new players all the time," says Satch, "and it’s very hard - believe it or not! This is great for me because I can approach the winner and say ‘hey, let’s do something, let’s take you somewhere, let’s help you climb to the top,’. So that’s great - I’m really looking forward to it!”
