I've been taking lessons with Bob for over 2 years now and I would absolutely recommend him to anyone interested in taking a beginner - advanced lesson. Bob has the patience of a saint and is never judgemental. Over the years I've taken lessons from others and have never once leared as much as I did the first time I sat down with Bob. Bob's knowledge of the banjo and musical theory combined with the patience and devotion detailed above make him an ideal teacher. He has a way of putting things into very simple terms without being condecending or arrogant.
In addition to the above, Bob teaches a course titled 'The Fretboard Roadmap' that is a must for anyone and will really help beginner/intermediate players develop their skills higher on the neck. If you have the opportunity, I strongly encourage you to take a lesson from Bob. In today's economy, it's one of the few investments out there that will actually yeild a return :-).
On a last note, if you aren't sure if you want to take a lesson with him, just sit in a jam with him sometime (that will surely convince you!). He's an absolutely great player to jam with as he will make sure that you know the chords (in a non-intimidating way) and will encourage you to play your best. He also is a treat to watch play and has a great sense of humor about things....
Feel free to PM me directly if you have any questions!
