''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 (28)

Hi, I'm Elliot—guitar teacher in Amsterdam.

What I love most about teaching guitar are those moments when it 'clicks'—when a student does something they couldn't do before.

Whether you're a complete beginner, an intermediate player, or an advanced musician, I will help you step by step to reach your musical goals.

Every person is unique, with their own learning style and preferences. That's why I've developed different pathways to suit your needs:

Beginner Pathway: New to guitar? We'll build your foundation with personalized lessons and exclusive courses.

Intermediate Pathway: Want to dive deeper? Explore theory, improvisation, and genres like jazz and funk.

Group Lessons: Join us in a fun group setting—whether you're into theory or just want to play songs.

In my lessons, I focus on learning the "language of music." You'll not only replicate pieces but actively master and understand them. This makes playing music together more enjoyable and a lot easier.

My goal is for you to not need me anymore as soon as possible and to be able to continue independently!

WORK ON SONGS YOU LIKE

No boring lessons. I'll definitely teach you stuff from books when it's necessary, but the focus will always be on learning songs you like.

What others are saying:

I came to Elliot because I wanted to learn fingerstyle guitar. I would highly recommend him. He provided value beyond just teaching technique. He frequently gave me insight into why a certain way to play something (a chord, for example) sounded better than other ways to play the same thing. This is stuff you typically don't get from books.

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!!"
