Guitar legend Steve Vai will be awarding a prize for his favourite finalist in the Guitar Idol competition held at the London International Music Show on June 13th. The ‘Steve Vai Unsigned Shredder´ prize will be a signed Ibanez guitar, a fantastic addition to the Guitar Idol competition which has gathered pace in recent weeks with over 160,000 visitors to the site in the last fortnight alone
Although Steve will be unable to watch the event live, as it is scheduled to take place at the same time as his sold-out ‘Alien Guitar Secrets´ masterclass at LIMS, he will be watching all the finalists' performances online at licklibrary.com after the event and choosing his winner from the live footage of the competition
If you can´t get to LIMS and can´t watch the live webcast of the competition and miss your chance to vote for a winner, check out the finalists' performances for yourself at licklibrary.com and see if you agree with Steve. Performances available to view from June 17th at http://www.licklibrary.com/Channels/Guitar-Idol/
