Don Alder Wins Guitar Idol UK

Canadian fingerstyle guitarist extraordinaire Don Alder recently won the Guitar Idol UK competition - with his trusty, if slightly roadworn, A3R along for the ride.

Here are some words from the man himself about the event and his use of duct tape...
"I feel very humbled and honored against some amazing players. Thanks to the Guitar Idol Team and Lick Library team for putting on this event that included from well over 1000 original contestants – With the 12 finalists flying in from Singapore, Guatemala, Chile, Israel, Romania, Russia, Germany, France, Canada, the UK and Italy, more than ever Guitar Idol retains its position as the premier global guitar talent contest! More news and pics to come. Check out my Yamaha in the pic it got damaged before I went to the UK but held it together with good old Duct Tape."

Congrats to Don on another great win!!
