This review is from: Novelty Instrumentals of Rev. Gary Davis (DVD)

Ernie Hawkins is a master guitar player and a master teacher. Not everyone that is a master player has the gift of teaching. Ernie does.

His DVDs on the music of Rev. Gary Davis are wonderfully instructive, as well as interesting. As a student of Davis, he has a unique perspective on the man's music and background. Yet, Hawkins does not worship Davis, but instead presents to us a very gifted and fascinating man, who's most fascinating music may very well be the instrumentals contained here.

They are not easy, so beginners need to look elsewhere, but for the intermediate, these are MONTHS of "private" lessons by one of America's premier teacher and player; and perhaps the one man who knows the music of the Rev Davis better than anyone else.

Take your time; in fact, take lots of time. Use your pause button judiciously and enjoy the learning. Hawkins knows how to press forward with his students, and how to slow it down and repeat. His demeanor is steady yet his love of the music is contagious.

***** Star ratings for all of the Rev Davis DVDs by Ernie Hawkins. Any guitar player who loves the blues should have all of these in his library!
