Black Sabbath guitarist Tony Iommi is set to appear as a mentor on Guitar Star, a new U.K. talent show that focuses on guitarists.
The show, which will feature Iommi alongside other six-string masters including Rodrigo y Gabriela and Lee Ritenour, is a nine-week-long competition whose winner will get to perform on the main stage at the Latitude Festival in Suffolk, England.
The show will make its debut June 9 and will be broadcast by Sky Arts.
In the video below, Iommi sits down with the Sky Arts team and discusses what he looks for in a great guitarist.
