Official Broadcast Quality Video Footage of the Guitar Idol 2008 Finals in London is now avilable to view at the all new relaunched LickLibrary.com

Either clink on the Guitar Idol link on the Lick Library homepage or go to 'Channels' where you will find an entire area dedicated to Guitar Idol and professional video footage of the 12 finalists on the main stage.

Former John Mayall guitar master and singer/songwriter WALTER TROUT releases his first single “All My Life” from his new album “The Outsider”, produced by John Porter (B.B. King, Los Lonely Boys, Ryan Adams).

Extreme’s first album in thirteen years doesn’t just mark the band’s hotly anticipated return to the studio and stage. Saudades de Rock (pronounced “sow-dodge”) is a groundbreaking record that reaffirms the beloved, Boston-bred foursome’s stature as innovators in the world of rock & roll.

Professional Photographs Of Guitar Idol 2008 and The London Guitar Show are now available at www.rocklens.com

A collection of fantastic photographs of all the finalists and other great performers from the London Guitar Show have now been posted onto the official photographer's website at www.rocklens.com

So after winning the public vote and the online panel’s vote, Gustavo Guerra impressed a panel of industry judges enough to win Guitar Idol 2008 by a clear distance. His fully professional performance, showmanship and exquisite technique needed no hiding place on the main stage at The London Guitar Show!

Paul Reed Smith awarded Gustavo a Custom 24 Limited Edition (1 of 12) – a beautiful guitar worth over £2500 ($5000) and a Peavey ‘Satch’ signature amp signed by the great man himself.

Guitar Idol can confirm that legendary bass player Billy Sheehan will be one of the judges for The Final Of Guitar Idol 2008 at the London International Music Show, Saturday 14th June, 10.30am on the main stage.

Billy is of the most revered bass players in Rock history and has recorded and performed with some of the world’s greatest guitar players such as Yngwie Malmsteen, Greg Howe, Tony McAlpine, Steve Vai, Paul Gilbert, Joe Satriani and Richie Kotzen to name but a few.

Rock & Roll Hall Of Fame member Bo Diddley passed away today at the age of 79. A spokeswoman said that Diddley died of heart failure after suffering a heart attack in August 2007. Three months before that he had suffered a stroke while touring in Iowa.

So after 2 months of wizardry and mayhem (see forum), Guitar Idol finally has 12 excellent competitiors for the big showdown on Saturday 14th June 2008 at The London International Music Show (Excel).
