Two winners of competitions in the last two weeks.

Sanel Redzic won the first prize of the competition of the Guitarmania Festival in  Lisabon, Portugal. He is doing great! Winning competitions al the time and giving concerts al over the place. Congratulations Sanel!  For the guitar facts likers among us, Sanel plays a cedar/coco bolo guitar, built in 2010. See more of him on youtube.

The other winner is Tariq Harb. He won the first prize a the Montreal Guitar Competition in Canada. I have only heard him play on youtube which I liked very much and wrote about earlier. Of course congratulations to him as well! And for the guitar facts likers : Tariq plays a spruce / rosewood built in 1996.
