I got in contact with a Gustavo fan Sergio Shishito and Orkut forum owner: Gustavo Guerra. Discussing Gustavo it becomes clear that Gustavo is naturally enthusiastic and this manifests itself as his trademark smile as he plays his music.

Sergio Shishito talked to Gustavo direct and this is the translation (with some correction from me) from Gustavo Guerra:
Minutes before entering the stage I cut my finger on Bosnian guitarist, Muris Varajic guitar. Gustavo went to ask for Muris where he bought the Michael Angelo string dampener from and when he moved his finger to the tuning pegs he caught it and cut his finger.

Gustavo says "Oh Shit!" as there was a lot of blood! plus his time to play was almost ready so he was very nervous...

Gustavo says "I didn't think that I would take the title as winner of Guitar Idol because there was a lot of good guitarist."

Players like Fernando Miyata, Gustavo Di Padua, Muris Varajic, The Italian (Daniele Gottardo) and another guy very good in Fusion (Tom Quayle), Gustavo says "I think I'm fucked!"... after all had played... all guitar players had finished their presentations, they called a boy (Ben Randall) and he received the reward of £ 1000 Pounds!!

Gustavo Guerra says: "I thought that lost the competition!!! I asked if this was it... was he the winner?... but the judges said no, that this was a reward for the best player under 18 year-old! Gustavo Guerra says "I thought that all the players will go on stage and win some thing! They called the other boy (Lyle Watt) and I think "I hope they don't call me now... they don't call me now... because I thought that was the end, (Lyle Watt) would be the winner... but they called me! Oh my god! I think...shit! I thought I was well behind most of candidates! so, discouraged, I was directed to the stage and when I put my foot on the stairway one of the organizers spoke:"You are the winner!!!"

Gustavo Guerra says: "My god! I didn't believe. I admit that later cried a lot and I remembered all here!!!!!!!!!!! thank you to all for helping me in this conquest!!!!! and all players are the winners!!!


Gustavo Guerra posted some more video covering his exciting trip to London, including a trip to the world famous Abbey road and the more recent London eye!
