Silvio Gazquez from Argentina wins 2nd international guitar solo competition.
"With over 60'000 viewers and 122 participants from all over the world, this non-commercial guitar competition far exceeded our expectations. The great success takes the whole contest to a higher level!"
Julian Puttins, host and initiator of “Guitar Solo Contest”, just announced the best three entries on his YouTube channel (youtube.com/PetrucciFever). Together with 7 renowned judges, including "Guitar Idol 2008" finalists Chris Feener, Muris Varajic and Tom Quayle, he examined all participants regarding composition, technique and sound.
Commented Julian Puttins: "Unlike comparable commercial competitions, all participants have to download and solo over the same backing track! That makes it a totally unique experience!"
Argentinean web guitar star Silvio Gazquez was followed closely by Ricard Walls and Matias Rengel in second and third place respectively.
After the announcement, Gazquez commented: "It´s a great feeling to be chosen from 121 contestants! It was a great experience and will definitely be a great help extending my global fan base!"
