Hi, everybody! This time you have yourselves to blame for the delay in the results of the competition! Not only that there were more contestants than before, but you were all much better then the last time. You really made it hard for us to decide who will be the winner. This kind of slow, but steady progress is exactly what we hoped for. That means that our comunity is growing and getting stronger and that the path we've chosen is the right one. Congratulations and thanks to everyone who participated, you were all very good. We also had more sponsors this time and to us that is another good sign.

And now, here are some details:

There were 69 contestants and 5 judges.

Emir Hot - Live4guitar founder
Damjan Pejcinoski – Most popular Live4guitar instructor
Dragianni – “Croatian Steve Vai”, creator of the backing track for the 8th Live4guitar competition
Tim Carter – Music producer for independent media, Live4guitar review author, writer / guitarist for Inner Imposter
John Wheatcroft - head of guitar at "Tech Music School" in London, author of “Nailing the Changes through Blues Guitar Solos“ series for Live4guitar blog.

Each judge had to pick 10 favourites and grade them from 1 to 10, so when we summed the points from all of our judges, we got the winner. We consider this way of grading the most realistic. So, without further ado, we give you our winner:

...and the winner is:

Evandro Junior

The important thing is that we all stay focused on our mission, and that is to make this comunity stronger and stronger every day, support and build it untill it becomes big enough so that IT can support US instead.
