When
Juho Ranta-Maunus found out he had won the title of Young Guitarist of the Year 2020, he says it was a great surprise, though he had secretly hoped it might happen.
âIt feels totally awesome,â he told Yle. âI was very surprised when I heard that Iâd won. This is a great achievement for my guitar career and it encourages me to continue making my own music,â said Ranta-Maunus, 14, who lives in Seinäjoki, Finland.
The international award of Young Guitarist of the Year 2020 was chosen by Guitar World magazine based on votes by both readers and a jury of editors and star judges.
