I've had a dozen guitar tutors. Elias is the first to actually teach me what's happening.

I'm an older learner, and just the short amount of time we've worked together Elias has dramatically improved not only my playing but my comprehension of music.

By blending theory and technique with a measurable plan, Elias's course has me thinking about actually understanding music, not just going through the motions on my guitar.

This is rapidly increasing my ability to write music and understand how to emulate different styles. My goal is to write and record an album, and Elias is helping me get there more than any other teacher I've had! 10/10

Elias has been a fantastic guitar tutor. He works with me to help me progress as quickly as possible, while also allowing me to choose certain material I want to learn when appropriate.

I’ve been working with Elias now for 3-4 months I believe, and since working with him, I can’t believe how much info I was missing as a self taught guitarist. He fixed up a lot of my bad habits, got me into blues, and i’m able to play songs with scales now, compared to before where I only played open chords songs. 100% recommend Elias.

My son started learning with Elias when he was 11, at a time when he had become bored with his music school and was already thinking about quitting the guitar. Thanks to Elias, he not only kept playing but also quickly surpassed his classmates, won a local guitar competition, and just a few days ago earned a medal at an interschool guitar contest.
My son has been studying with Elias for almost two years now, and I can confidently say that Elias is an excellent teacher. He knows how to connect with his students, choose the right teaching approach, design a thoughtful learning plan, and make the process genuinely engaging.
Elias helps my son prepare for exams in his music school as well as for concerts and competitions. In addition to teaching guitar technique, he also teaches music theory, develops his musical ear, introduces him to different styles and genres, and teaches him improvisation.
Elias even mixed a video of my son’s stage performance and recommended software so we could learn to do it ourselves. He also helped us choose equipment and software for our rehearsal room - from the PC and sound equipment to soundproofing and lighting.
He always takes the time to answer our many questions in detail, is incredibly supportive, patient, and consistently positive. I highly recommend him!

I have been taking lessons with Elias for nearly two months, and I can confidently say that he is an outstanding teacher. He is patient, knowledgeable, and highly skilled at breaking down complex concepts in a way that is clear and approachable.

One of the things I appreciate most about Elias is his ability to make music theory engaging and easy to understand. As someone who had never formally studied music theory before, I was initially nervous, but he explained it in a way that made everything manageable and even enjoyable.

With consistent practice, the concepts begin to click, and the connection between theory and playing becomes clear.

Elias also tailors each lesson to the individual student. If you communicate what you want to learn, he thoughtfully crafts lessons around those goals—whether that includes music theory, technique, solos, or specific genres such as metal.

His structured approach allows students to progress confidently from foundational skills to more advanced material.

Regardless of your current skill level, there will be moments when learning guitar feels challenging or discouraging. Elias emphasizes the importance of trusting the process. Even dedicating as little as 30 minutes of practice a day can lead to meaningful progress over time. This guidance is reassuring, especially during difficult moments, because it is clear that Elias knows exactly what he is doing and understands how learning truly works.

If you are looking for a guitar teacher who genuinely understands the instrument and knows how to teach it—from the basics to advanced playing—I cannot recommend Elias highly enough. He is an exceptional instructor, and I would not trade him for any guitar teacher I have worked with in the past.

Within a few lessons I’ve already developed a much better understanding of the guitar. Elias has great teaching methods, resources and knowledge.

Excellent Approach to teaching guitar, multiple camera angles with clear view of strings and fret-board, personalised approach to teaching at your own pace and level with further help and support outside of lessons, furthermore Elias provides bespoke homework and assets in an individual google drive library.

Plus, he's a pretty chill guy!

Elias is an exceptional teacher. He took the time to understand my guitar goals. As someone with a diverse interest in fingerstyle and classical music, my aspirations may seem unconventional, but Elias has helped me develop a variety of new techniques and significantly improve my sight-reading skills, an area where I previously struggled. I would definitely recommend his lessons; Elias is incredibly patient, supportive, and optimistic. Thanks to his guidance, I've made remarkable progress in just a few lessons, which has truly amazed me.

Elias is such a fantastic guitar teacher! His love for music really comes through in every lesson, and he makes learning so much fun. He’s great at breaking things down and explaining them in a way that actually makes sense, and he always adapts to what I need help with the most.
Every lesson with Elias is super encouraging and motivating. He’s patient, supportive, and always pushes me to get better while keeping things creative and enjoyable.
If you’re looking for someone to help you improve your guitar skills and make the process fun, I can’t recommend Elias enough. He’s honestly made such a difference in how I play and feel about music!
