  • tom quayle is far more complex and his improvisation are just inspiring... but gustavo have some kind of personality that fits well with his playing, music is emotion, and qualye didnt transmit me anything. gustavo at least make me smile!! just my humble opinion.

  • nossa o som falhou que pena 2:25 mais o que será que deve ter acontecido ?

  • Não é samba, não é bossa nova, mas é música de brazuca!!!! It's rock and roll, man!!!! Eita nóis!!!!!!!

  • guestavo is MY idol

  • Gustavo won because playing guitar is much more the WAY you do it instead of what ur doing. of course technique is important, but fucking hendrix had a piece of shit techinique but stills rocks.

  • this is by no means a comparison AT ALL but i find it weird that ppl keep commenting on his "smiling" and saying that is why he won hahaha. Frikkin Eric Johnson is one of the worlds best and he stares at the floor the entire time hahah. Just a thought hahaha :) :) :)

  • Great player :)

    And I think he is really lucky that his "concentration face" is a big smile ... you see it in all his videos, the harder the lick, the more he concentrates, the more he smiles.. why couldent I get that :)

  • skinny wolverine on the bass

  • ow, me da de presente um marshall desses ae irmão, para que isso tudo?...hahahah que absurdo!! Parabéns!!!

  • now that are some marshalls..

  • Marshall

  • he is great n awesome guitar player, but his music is just boring n flat, that's why he didn't win.

  • whats this song called?

  • @bbender1986

    "Wolves do not drink water" composed by the brazilian guitarist "gustavo guerra"

  • got Marshall?

  • LMFAO GGUERRA RAPES ALL YOUR FAVORITE GUITARISTS STFU NUBS

  • hes not playing guitar.., hes having sex with it, just look at his face.

  • what is the name of this song?

    sempre com um sorriso no rosto.......XD

    é isso ai gustavo !!!!

  • This guy has feelings... Haha....

  • Puts...tem pouco Marshall lá atrás hein ¬¬ rs rs

  • @3922378742 Brazilian

  • @lauriemonk thanks

  • @3922378742 Are u italian!!

  • @TheZach4441 yes i am

  • @3922378742 Me too!!!!

  • @TheZach4441 Bene bene! e vivi in canada?

  • @3922378742 si... but i dont speak lots of italian!!!

  • Me gusta mucho como toca la guitarra Gustavo!! Es muy bueno mas que bueno!!

  • not only fernando is better tha him so is mark playle and he is handicapped

  • Bleh... Fernando Miyata should have won this... This guy is same old same old.

  • XD marshalls wall XD

  • mesa boggie is better

  • I DONT UNDERSTAND...whats NEW about Gustavo Guerra??? I mean, he is good and bla bla bla, but he´s doesnt playing anything out of this world, this is only rock and very simillar to Satriani-Vai... I dont get the point of this competitions...Who wons? The guy who is doing the same thing that we´ve been listening for decades...

  • lol I dont think you understand that its seriously difficult for a guitarist to be 'NEW', and to be different does not mean to be better or more entertaining.The reason we see a lot of guitarists who are similar to Satriani and Vai as you say is because that style of guitar is so good that it inspires people to play guitar and to go in competitions like these.

  • you're wasting your breath (or in this case, energy typing). some people just don't get it

  • @Thestig444 No, im saying that because im musician, and to be "new" or to innovate, all we need is creativity, and to stop listening our idols, and listen to our harts...thats all u need, and it´s not only for guitarrists, it goes for all musicians, think about a world without David Gilmour, think music without ELVIS, or without Genesis..they´re not ET, they are from this planet, and they could make their own music...

  • @StreamOfMetal i have absolutely no problem with what you say their, the reasons some musicians have success and some dont is highly due to creativity. Gustav may lack a seperating unique creative element to his compositions, but it is far more 'creative' then then fernando miyata's one, in my opinion. This isnt worlds greatest musician, this is guitar idol, and gustav is a good guitarist, you cant deny that. His creativity is influenced by what he has enjoyed to hear. its creative nontheless

  • @Thestig444 Yes of course he´s good, and hey I should be encouraging him, because im from Argentina and he´s from Brasil, but this is not about nationality I tell u more, first I thought he was argentinian because his name. I agree he´s totally better than Miyata, but I never say Miyata was better than him hehe, I´ve never heard Miyata till u name him haha. Are u musician? because I would like to hear u, I have some videos whit my old band. Search "ELESSAR NEUQUEN". Abraxas.

  • @StreamOfMetal lol i only mentioned miyata cos he seemed to be the next in line to win, and u agree that gustavo was better...ipso fact, gustavo won

  • This guy is alot more entertaining and creative then that Fernando Miyata guy who seems to be another one of those guitarists who can play anything at lightning speed. Not that he shouldnt do that if thats what he wants to do, but it sure is seriously boring watching a 3 minute shred.

  • @StreamOfMetal well both satriani and vai are getting a bit old right? so somebody's gotta take their places when they quit playing, and i don't think anybody could fill that spot better then Gustavo, but that's just my opinion!

  • @gkl5gkl5 LOL I dont want another Satriani or another Steve Vai I want a genuine musician...its natural evolution, man evolutes, society evolutes, so music too ( i hope u understand my english) I wouldnt give any of this guitarrist an award (obviously, I wouldnt give it to me neither) because theyre just like u and me, but whit luck haha

  • @StreamOfMetal You has listened Jack Thammarat?, the winner 09 of GuitarIdol...for me is better than Guerra... I think the same, nobody wants another Satch or Vai... Guerra is a great great player but is similar to Satch.

    For example, listen to Cesar Huesca or Emiliano Zapata, they have so much feeling to play, and his music it's not very similar to Vai and the others...

    however, this song rocks :D

  • @slayxmotley LOOOOL where are u from?? That Emiliano Zapata is a friend of mine, I´ve play whit his brother, Rodrigo Zapata, both are excelent musicians. I´ve listened to Huesca, he´s really great! Finally someone who wants a breathe of fresh air in music hahah

  • Really?, Zapata is for me one of the best guitar player in youtube. I'm from Canada. cheers!

  • @slayxmotley Really, he lives in Neuquen, Argentina, my brother in law is his neighbour and they were banda mates too, he´s 17 now i think. I have videos playing whith rolo and emi zapata a few years ago...SEARCH: Rodrigo Zapata - Guitar Solo, im in the keyboard, and search ELESSAR Neuquen, my band. Cheers!

  • Evolves... The word is evolves.

  • gustavo guerra é fodah

  • painted on smile or not ..

    this guy rocks pretty hard.

    Got Marshall .. LMAO !!

    i'm pretty sure those are just for looks

    most live gigs you really only need a decenct stage mix and let the mains do all the work. NO WAY all those 4x12's are plugged in.

  • got marshall?

  • If only i could just have one of those marshalls...

  • @xxxSchwartzyxxx if only i could have all of those marshalls?lol

  • bending notes is the beauty of the guitar so stfu hater

  • Gustavo's awesome but i think he bends notes a little too much... like... every other note is a bend.. got a bit boring and with watching that forced smile over and over as well.

    i like his other stuff, his soloing and tonation is good but i think i still prefer Fernando Miyata's playing.

  • i think gustavo deserved it, his soloing phrasing everything he plays sounds awesome to me, and not to mention his PERFECT technic he really knows what he is doing, fernado's music is cool but some of the stuff he plays don't make much sense to me so...gustavo all the way for me!!

  • I think Gustavo is awesome. great guitar playing!

    PLEASE go to my favs and click on SUBURBAN GUY ROCKIN OUT

    he doesnt read music, really feels what he plays and improvises his songs as he goes along. the other 2 favs are him also ARIEL (awesome shredding) and ARIEL SIMANTOV (awesome sweeping) pls view comment and rate them as we think he deserves recognition. thanks everyone!

  • no i think gustavo was the best look at hes covers,,...very talented for achievement,,.....i like miyata too..because he has he,s own style at playing....but gustavo was very experimental person,,he can play any type of music.....thats what i see....

  • really good but idk, i thought fernando miyata should have won... i know everyone says "it was all shred and no heart" to that i say a fat B.S. i thought it was incredibly musical and inventive and he tore it up, never seen anything like it before. That's just me though...

  • mucho mas que hendrix

  • good job boy

  • Fernando FTW!!!

  • 2:25 haha

  • 1:51, yes, he really loves music!

    i have proud of him, of being of my country, and being part of a culture that a i like so much and theat as pure gold

    vai gsutavo guerra, vcê é meu mestre!

  • I think Gustavo is awesome. he plays wonderful music.

    PLEASE go to my favs and click on SUBURBAN GUY ROCKIN OUT

  • This is all great, but Muris Varajic is the most original player...but drummer is an ass

  • how many marshalls ....

  • How un-musical...

  • wow this is a joke ferando shud have won

  • Gustavo War é o cara. Ele tem estilo, transmite o som com carisma.

  • This guy won? With this? Are you kidding me? Sounded like a repetitive, weak Satriani rip-off to me. This guy is not even from the same planet as Miyata, let alone the same league. Unbelievable. How disappointing for Fernando. Que Triste.

  • your retarded miyata didnt have near as much feeling in his piece it was all shred and who the fuck hasnt heard that lame ass song he played?

    and no nothing liike satch

  • I looks easy... and it looks easy cause he is a guitar master! Fernando is a master also... What's the problem with it guys?

  • yah. . . weed and great guitar live performance =equALS stuff of the fused generation :Q)

  • hahahaha!!!!

  • Comment removed

  • se io sono idiota, tua madre è una gran succhiacazzi!

  • Comment removed

  • to mare spaccafietti col cueo! hahahaha

  • Lei parla molto sciocco ... almeno sa suonare la chitarra? Oppure mai visto uno in vita?

  • hmmm non so suonare la chitarra, ma ci sento benissimo :D

  • Perché io sono un professore di chitarra qui a São Paulo ... felice!

  • allora insegna MUSICA e non GINNASTICA (come Gustavo...)

  • Infatti la stessa gustavo gioca, ma ha dato molta importanza a questa chitarra idolo! Per questo la sua performance è stata davvero debole! Ma qui ci sono i migliori musicisti del mondo che non ha alcun dubbio! E le migliori chitarristi, batteristi, tastierista e bassista! Questo è senza dubbio il mondo della musica, come la terra del calcio!

  • ...e migliaia di persone che muoiono di fame... proprio un bel Paese!

  • Non dire merda caro amico ... questo paese è ricco e la fame è in tutto il mondo ... anche nel loro paese, che è un farmaco di posto che non è elevato cieli! Se si vede la città di São Paulo, si vedrà che la più grande città del paese, è la dimensione di un quarto di qui! Vicino al mio paese è il suo PROVINCIA!

  • Non so se sapete, ma ... ogni giorno, raggiungere molte 'ITALIANO' qui in cerca di occupazione o la possibilità di realizzare qualcosa di meglio nella vita ... voi lo sapeva? Se non sapendo Savia è quindi!

  • I take it that this song is his original composition? It's very Saraceno influenced IMO.

  • I can appreciate Gustavo....but, Fernando Miyata is still my very best favorite!!!!

  • Gustavo won because he offers a complete package. He smiles, interacts with the audience and plays a convincing game. He may not excel at all aspects of the guitar...but neither does the other guy.

  • look at me i can smile for 4 minutes straight.whoopeedeedo.

  • LOL

  • This guy plays nice, i like it!

  • how did this guy win?he should have worried more about playing instead of smiling all the way through the flippin song.fernando is way better.that's just what i think.

  • fernando is much better!

  • @alex12gods

    No, they don't are.

  • This guy won?

    He sounds great, but Fernando owns this guy. That's some BS

  • fernando ftw

  • I lost interest in this guy at about 2:30. But the Fernando guy had my attention the whole way through.

  • It´s not about who plays in whatever speed, or the way you play something like tapping with 8 fingers or playing with your teeth, it´s about who is original and can play beautiful music, I like how Gustavo demonstrates that he really enjoys his music and how fernando plays, but both are missing something that each other has.

  • I like Gustavo but Fernando should have won, he is much better, he has his own style of playing. Gustavo won because he love playing and he smiles during it.

  • @AintTalking you are so wrong it isn't even funny, Gustavo aint ad at all he has passion and skilsl to a certain lvl either you or me will ever have

  • @AintTalking I agree. Fernando is better than this guy. This guy just sounds like a cheap Joe Satriani rip off. There is almost no structure to this imo. Too much meaningless wank. Fernando is like that as well, he just sounds better and has a more unique style. This guy looks like a douche when he plays.

  • hes good but fernando should have won, he has FAR more skill and FAR more originality

  • fernando is much better! this guy is good, but not as good as fernando.

  • finally.. people are starting to realize that fernando is better than gustavo, well, not to disrespect gustavo in anyway, i just think his style is a little too 80's... or it could be that i just like fernando's style better!!!

  • This guy would have been great in the 80's but now? No, too primitive sound.

  • this guy won? sorry but it wasnt that impressive...i mean to be the winner...not so much

  • Impressive, but Fernando is much better and has a unique style where the shredding has feeling and not just a bunch of really fast playing.

  • he won because he play like joesat

  • he's good but fernando is better and in my opinion, should have won

  • Fernando Miyata should have been first

  • i like fernando more he really deserves to win i think

  • this whole competition should be called Who Can Imitate Vai/Satriani the Best 2008

  • you forgot george lynch in that mix.

  • ahahahaha

    you just made my day buddy, that was hilarious

  • Miyata does have more speed but their rhytm is another. Gustavo Guerra may not play as fast and wonderful as Myiata but has an excellent sense of rythm and his guitar goes beyond the technique.

  • Omfg Gustavo does not suck, look at all of his vids he creams most other guitarists

  • Fuck off you deaf prick, listen some some more of his vids, in your opnion Fernando Miyata may be better but gustavo guerra does not suck, you cant say this dude sucks cause hes one of the best guitarists on youtube so shut the fuck up.

  • let's not get irrational here. there's no need for insults or any bashing on either players for that matter. both are great players, but for the judges and crowd it was a matter of a combination of performance, show, and skill. in my honest opinion, fernando miyata is a better skilled guitarist. for me, gustavo is a bit too repetative and liquidy. he is a great player, don't get me wrong! however, in mine and many others opinions, fernando should have won in this one, judging on skill.

  • edu ardanuy

  • ok, first of all, the guy doesn't suck. he is really decent/goodish and his solo was interesting. however fernando miyata is on a league of his own.

  • Fernando Miyata kills this guy. Its just not even close. I dont get it.

  • i agree. fernando is ten times better. the only reason he lost, and let's be honest here people, is because he's fat, looks funny, and because he wasn't running around on stage while shredding with a goofy smile on.

  • Oh get real Alex, the size of a person is so shallow minded and down right lack of intelligence to base an art on that. Guess you all never heard of Johnny Hiland.

  • no, to tell you the truth, i haven't. but you know that fernando wasn't judged just on guitar playing skills, it was also presentation. otherwise, he would have won. if it was a closed-session playing, and they just heard the recordings, you know, along with many others, that fernando would have creamed the competition. it would have been a landslide. :)

  • or on his case a fatslide

  • ahaha, true! a talented fatslide. nevertheless, both are great guitarists that have 10x more talent in one of their pinkies than i do in my entire body. i hope to be as good as them someday. *crosses fingers*

  • and no, the size of someone should NEVER judge them on their performance, but sadly, in a lot of cases, it does. it all depends on the crowd and judges. some are fair, others are extremely biased. sad but true. :/

  • lmfao.he does look funny but i guess this competition is a hoax because yes fernando should've won

  • good player..to liquidy for me..everything is a slide into the next..and ditch the goofy smile please

  • Gustavo guerra has influences of Edu ardanuy, the biggest Brazilian guitarist, him better it and 1000 times of what Gustavo guerra. if edu ardanuy participace of guitar idol would gain 100% of the votes. who does not know, please looks for here in it you tube videos of edu ardanuy, its amazing

    please search for "edu ardanuy jop" hes playing with a orange guitar on this video.

  • *yawn*

  • i still think fernando myata is better

  • Same, I think Miyata should have won it, but Gustavo is good as well.

  • Thank fuck for you, Not taking sides you know what your talking about

  • what song is he playing

  • he shouldnt have won

  • Very subtle marshall product placement, if you really pay attention to the background you'll see there are a lot of marshall heads and cabs in there.

  • É impressionante como o Gustavo tá sempre sorrindo quando toka *-* . Ele é d+ ... Queria ver um duelo entre ele e o fernando, ia ser impressionante (:

  • ahhhhh.......i think Fernando Miyata is better.

    Anyway, all of them are very good!

    I want to learn from them ^ _____^

  • im sorry....i just can't see how he won over all those other conteastants -.- Seriously Fernando Miyata was much better and so was Chris Feener in my opinion.

  • Venditore di fumo, punto!

  • Just a Satchmo wannabe in my opinion. My vote was for Myata.

  • i guess thats why he won huh? cause it was something ever one is use to hearing

  • damn that is a big stack of marshalls

  • Chris Feener or Fernando Miyata should have won. They have so much mroe to offer

  • hell yeah, or tom quayle

  • muy buen dominio de escenario

  • Fernando, Gustavo Guerra and Gustavo di Paula, he´s all the brasilian guitar player, he´s have feeling, passion and hours of dedication for the guitar, this guy´s is the best guitar player over the gringos from EUA,France, Ingland, Italy and more.....

  • Sponsored by marshall. Modern thin sounding series.

  • why do all these guitar idol people sound like joe satriani

  • and you sound like....????

  • Cause some people "just wanna rock!" =)

  • wow, how did fernando lose to this?

  • dont mean to slam but this basically page 1 shit for any lead soloing guitarist nothing special at all

  • i cant deny this guys good, but how the hell did he won guitar idol??

    what??

    if the scoring was

    skill 10%

    audience impact 10%

    PROJECTION 80%

    i may have agreed he won!!!

  • well i'm sure judges were going on stage presence as well so he's fine there, but i agree. Fernando or Feener should've won

  • thats alot of amps lol

  • just to show how linear and shallow the music industry is. they probably only gave him the win becuz Fernando miyata doesnt have the look and such but if it was just based purely on skill Gustavo had no chance. He's good shouldnt have gotten first place in my opinion. So when u can play wit the same ability as fernando then say he sucks live cuz i doubt u can sweep, tap or do anything close to that. this dude up here is just a slash wanabe who got sum free lessons in his garage.

  • this guy is a douche..

  • YES But he won Guitar Idol.

  • And yeah he did win guitar idol, but he was pretty shown up by all the other talent their. that being said he is a great guitar player.

  • lol noobs fernando is just freaky guy who do this all stuff with guitar and gustavo is true musican u fuckin noobs first listen then speak idiots!!!

  • and fernando miyata lost to this ? -_-
