Gustavo Guerra--great overall feeling and phrasing. He deserves the spot
Tom Quayle---very good fusion player. I liked him from the beginning on.

Where are our instructors???? I will check the page every hour now. unsure.gif

Lets cross fingers for our instructors. Gustavo Guerra and Tom Quayle are really good they really deserve it.

Posted by: Nick325 May 30 2008, 12:22 AM

Chris Feener's in

Posted by: ItsMe May 30 2008, 12:30 AM

Number 3 is Chris Feener. He deserves it too

Ah, you are online monitoring too

Posted by: Nick325 May 30 2008, 12:37 AM

yes you could say wink.gif

Posted by: shellshock1911 May 30 2008, 01:26 AM

Good God Chris Feener is so good it isn't even funny, the main theme in his entry just absolutely makes me shiver and want to cry.

Posted by: Muris Varajic May 30 2008, 01:33 AM

I'm specially pleased to see Tom on the list,such an awesome phrasing!!
Of course Chris and Gustavo are great nonetheless,well deserved. smile.gif

And I LOVE the way they are announcing finalist,really exiting,wouldn't you say?

Posted by: Nick325 May 30 2008, 01:37 AM

yes but nerveracking

Posted by: RandomVictim May 30 2008, 01:45 AM

Gustavo is fantastic wow!

But honestly, Muris, if your not a finalist than this GI is "bs". Your entry is so amazing and really shows a wide range of guitar knowledge. Lets see if the judges have some sense to put a real guitar hero as a finalist biggrin.gif

Posted by: Muris Varajic May 30 2008, 01:53 AM

I'm 99% sure that judges already have full list
but they are announcing few at the time,
looks more interesting.

Thanks tho,glad you liked my entry,appreciate it! smile.gif

Posted by: David Wallimann May 30 2008, 01:56 AM

Very exciting!
Tom has cought my attention since the early competition. I'm glad he's on there!

Posted by: OrganisedConfusion May 30 2008, 11:16 AM

I think all 3 so far deserve to be in London.

Posted by: Smikey2006 May 30 2008, 11:37 AM

cities will crumble under the tension. Lets keep our fingers crossed for Muris and David

Posted by: Matt23 May 30 2008, 11:47 AM

Good luck to Muris and David smile.gif Also, how often are they choosing finalists, is it one very hour or every day or what?

Posted by: chast May 30 2008, 12:00 PM

Good luck Muris & David smile.gif
Till now there is no "unfair" finalist in my opinion, well there are only 3 till now wink.gif

Posted by: Bondy May 30 2008, 12:03 PM

I got my fingers crossed for You Muris and David

Posted by: audiopaal May 30 2008, 12:17 PM

Three very good finalists so far, but I keep my fingers crossed for Muris and David as I think they deserve to be in the final as well smile.gif

Posted by: Joe Kataldo May 30 2008, 12:20 PM

To me Tom is the only one that merit to be there, the other two, in my opinion had nothing special, some chops...ok, but nothing specials

Posted by: David Wallimann May 30 2008, 02:29 PM

Tension sure is building up1
But my guess is that all finalists have been informed by email already. I think the jury is waiting for them to confirm that they will be able to make it to the final with plane tickets and so forth...
We'll see.. :-)

Posted by: Marek Rojewski May 30 2008, 02:46 PM

How do You know? Ya say an email... how does it feel to be in the finals ?:>

Posted by: David Wallimann May 30 2008, 02:55 PM

Haha! No, I'm not a finalist...
I just read on the forum that most finalists did received an email.

We dont know if Muris didnt get in yet, my bet is that he made it to the final 12 .

Posted by: ItsMe May 30 2008, 03:35 PM

David anounced himself that he is not in the finals. Just thought that you know something about Muris.
Fast edit though

This sounds like they informed all the finalists already

quote: owen edwards

with a total of 15 judges results in now (the reason we are waiting to announce everyone is a couple have yet to confirm flights/travel arrangements etc).....

Posted by: shellshock1911 May 30 2008, 11:18 PM

Gratz Muris, you are gonna be really hard to beat in the finals!

Currently my favorite is Chris Feener. Chris Feener's tune is just so damn catchy, that main theme is just OMG, I want to cry everytime I hear it, I could listen to this song all day, it makes me feel like I am flying. Maybe he isn't as technically skilled or versatile as the other 3 finalists so far, but man I don't know what it is about his entry, but it is definately INSANE to my ears!

Posted by: coffeeman May 30 2008, 11:20 PM

congratulations Muris you are a monster and you really deserve to with the best of the best. Congrats again, and thank you for sharin all your experience and knowledge with us.

Posted by: Sam Hook May 30 2008, 11:28 PM

Go Muris! Well done! biggrin.gif

Posted by: Rated Htr May 30 2008, 11:32 PM

Muris is an excelent player and we all know it, no doubt he will do great ;D

Posted by: Harris Sopovic May 30 2008, 11:32 PM

Wow nice, grats muris ! =)

Posted by: Bondy May 30 2008, 11:34 PM

Check out these Awesome comments from the judges

Muris demonstrates total control and possesses great tone. His entry displays his vast array of techniques, killer chops and complete mastery of the instrument. Muris just had to be included in the final!

Posted by: shellshock1911 May 30 2008, 11:34 PM

This guy named Lyle Watt just got through...his entry seems alright though I don't think it compares at all to Chris, Muris, or Gustavo. Tom is really skilled, thought I personally think his tone is pretty dry. Just can't beat Chris' tone.

Posted by: audiopaal May 30 2008, 11:35 PM

YEEEEEESS!! Go Muris biggrin.gif

that all finalist will be able to attend the show.
Perhaps they are not contacting all of them

Now I'm confused. It says on the finalist page that 'You the audience will help to decide which 10 lucky Guitarists are invited to perform...'

Does that mean that there are an extra 2 not decided by the audience?

I also don't understand how in your post you say there are 3 places left, then 2.

Maybe i wasnt clear enough laugh.gif because of the huge ammount of attention the competition had they decided to add an extra 2 spots for the finals, what i ment was that i hope david and dimi will fill out 2 of the remaining 3 spots smile.gif
