Guitar with Elliott K.

Hi, my name is Elliott and I’m a professional guitarist, bassist, singer-songwriter and most importantly, music teacher. I've been teaching private lessons since 2013 and have found that sharing musical knowledge with others is an essential part of my creative life. I love exposing students to the music fundamentals that shaped me while continually learning about new music from my students. I teach the essential skills to play their instrument while building a repertoire that mixes classics with the favorite songs of each individual student. I started taking guitar lessons when I was 8 years old so I could learn how to play Jimi Hendrix, Black Sabbath, Red Hot Chili Peppers, and other artists my older brother showed me. We soon started a band together, and I’ve since played a variety of instruments in countless bands. I was educated at Cabrillo College and UCLA where I received degrees in Music and World Music Studies. I currently write and record all of the music for an indie-folk project called Elliott Ok, as well as a jazz-hip hop band called Loos Leaf. And I tour as the bass player for an awesome band called Joe Kaplow. You can check them out in some videos below!
