5.0 out of 5 stars Another Rev. Gary Davis classic!, January 11, 2009

This review is from: Ragtime Guitar of Rev. Davis (DVD)

Another classic from Ernie Hawkins on Rev. Gary Davis.

If you are a fan of the Rev. Gary Davis, or if you are just a fan of the blues and would love to learn some very unique songs and fingerstyle play, this is a terrific opportunity to spend many hours with a master player and teacher.

Hawkins is a gifted teacher who is an expert on the music of Rev. Gary Davis, including many of the lesser known songs. This collection has some wonderful songs not normally known by many.

Hawkins is a low key, patient teacher, who like all skilled teachers, is able to anticipate where his student will struggle. For this reason, he will slow down at certain points, repeat himself, and bring the student along with great skill.

For the intermediate guitarist, or for the high drive late beginner, this DVD set equals months of great lessons at an incredible value. Ernie Hawkins also taught the terrific C-A-G-E-D series, helping the student learn the fret board, which is here at Amazon.

Hawkins does a great job teaching the various works of Rev. Gary Davis, so do a search here at Amazon on some of the other offerings from Hawkins, which also have 5 Star ***** ratings for excellence.

Between his slow, methodical teaching, his easy going personality, terrific selection of songs, and skilled camera work, you are purchasing months of "personal" lessons with one of our country's best teachers of acoustic guitar.
