Shred icon Steve Vai is judging the best unsigned shredder award at this year's London International Music Show (LIMS)!
Steve will pick his favourite finalist in the Guitar Idol competition at the show, taking place at London's Excel centre on 13 June.
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 two weeks 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 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!
