I ran into Geoff Hohwald at the Banjo Warehouse in Atlanta. I was there getting my instrument set up (they did an awesome job). I had read his posts on the BHO and had a pretty good idea of his credentials (very accomplished) so it was really cool when he sat down with me and shared multiple tips. He was overly generous with his time and I came away with some valuable knowledge. Geoff relates very well and seems genuinely interested in me becoming a better player.

I went down to Atlanta for a family thing and decided to try a few banjos. I'll review that elsewhere but wanted to chime in on Geoff as a teacher. As a part of the sale, he gave me two instructional books and spent probably 1/2 hour with an impromptu back-up skills lesson that was clear and concise and very useful. I can't afford to fly down for lessons but will seriously consider one of his camps.

I've tried them all, and for the beginner, or advanced beginner, Geoff Hohwald is the BEST. He takes you by the hand and leads you through the lessons at your speed. As you advance, he takes you up a notch to the next level. It doesn't get much better than this. Even better, the price is right! Give Geoff a try. I think you will be pleasantly surprised.

Geoff's method is clear, well-planned, and gets results. He breaks down three-finger rolls and hand positioning into clear and uncomplicated sections, and gets you playing right away. Students of any level can apply their new skills by playing along with Bert Casey's excellent backing tracks.
