What others are saying:
''Fantastic teacher - both great at nurturing technical skills and also getting into the essence of music. I would highly recommend Elliot to any student that wants to take their playing to the next level."
SVEN LEICHER
“I've been doing lessons with Elliot for the past two years. He's great at setting up a plan to make sure you improve and is really accommodating with helping you learn the specific style of guitar that you're interested in (I'm learning jazz from him at the moment). I've really improved a ton since starting the lessons, highly recommend!!"
