Reavey stood out from hundreds of entrants, and made it through three rounds before - along with fellow Guitarist of the Year finalists Todd Blackmore and Marco Puglisi - being hand-picked by John Petrucci, Steve Lukather and Tosin Abasi to perform at the UK Guitar Show this past weekend, September 21 and 22.
