I have tried several self learning banjo books and DVD’s and multiple teachers over the years to find one that worked for me.
I was just about to give up on the banjo when I decided that I heard about a fantastic teacher and I started a thread “Looking for a teacher.” Gary Davis-BISCUIT, came to my rescue.
In the first 20 minutes of our first lesson I realized he understands how to teach banjo. His style and demeanor and teaching methods are one of the best.
Jim Bertrand
Not only is Gary Davis a phenomenal music teacher, he’s the sort of person that you want your children to know. He’s an excellent example of someone who works hard at his craft, is delighted to pass on that knowledge to those who want to learn, and contributes whole-heartedly to whatever he puts his mind to.
Gary a great teacher and world-class musician, but he’s also a good role model, a good friend, and a good person.
It’s my sincere belief that one of the best things I’ve ever given my kids is music lessons with Biscuit.
Ashley Burnette-Davis
I first met Gary “Biscuit” Davis at one of his many performances. As a novice banjo player, I was in awe of this polished entertainer.
I approached Gary and asked for advice, little did I know it would lead to a lasting friendship. Not only is Gary a performer, entertainer, instructor, mentor, and teacher, he is such a special person in my life. A Christian who seeks to serve, I cannot stress how he has blessed my life through music and friendship.
