"Student Spotlight"

Hello everyone! We are back with another installment of "Student Spotlight." This months student is Donald Davis. He is a 24 year old guitar player from right here in Augusta Georgia. Donald is a very determined person. We have worked hard to get him playing. H e is the only musical person in his family and he does not have a back round in music. That has not deterred him. He has worked harder than the average student to get his fingers moving. He has EXTREMELY long fingers that are double jointed near the tip. The double jointedness has made him have to work his fingers more than average to get him strong. The extra long fingers and double jointedness will prove a great asset to his guitar playing in the future. Donald wanted to play guitar because its just a cool instrument that he wanted to play for a long time. He got his guitar 2 Christmas's ago and started lessons with me on March 14, 2009. Some of his favorite bands are Gazette and Papa Roach. If he were ever to be in a touring band he would love to tour the United States more than any other place in the world. His favorite guitar player is Jimi Hendrix. James Brown is his musical hero. He loves James Brown's music. On one of his birthdays he got a ticket to James Browns birthday show and was floored by the skill of the band and Mr. Browns stage presence. He hopes to be in a band in the next couple years, showing off his skills and having fun. So here's to you Donald...keep rockin....keep playing...and keep having fun!!
