In case you didn't know, the 20th annual Air Guitar World Championships (yes, it's a real event) wrapped up in Oulu, Finland, last Friday with Russian competitor Kareel "Your Daddy" Blumenkrants beating out the American runner-up Matt "Aristotle" Burns for the title.

Blumenkrants joined HuffPost Live to discuss his lively performance and how he nabbed the coveted top prize -- a handmade electric guitar -- after competing for five years.

"[The performance is] like a lightning bolt or an arrow from a bow," he told host Caroline-Modarressy Tehrani. "It's just so quick and filled with all kinds of movement, you barely ... have any time to think. You just do it and then in a blink of a second, it's over."
