Congratulations to these amazing young guitarists whose skill and artistry were nothing short of astounding in their final round performances for the 20th edition of the GFA’s International Youth Competition. Our esteemed judges had the difficult task of whittling it down to only four per division, and then ranking them by their final round videos.
