About Scott Elliott, Professional Guitarist / Instructor

Results -- In many cases, I've succeeded where others (including many other "name" instructors) have failed. "Teachers teach the way they've been taught," and my own academic background (Berklee, Duquesne University, Cincinnati College-Conservatory) has been both intensive and highly structured. I also believe that my training in music theory has given me an analytic edge in my teaching -- I'm very skilled in pinpointing physical/musical problems and plotting a structured path that works for the needs of the individual student. To this, I designed, implemented, and taught the program in Guitar performance at West Virginia University at both undergraduate and graduate levels (1994 through 2018). I'm currently a professor of Guitar at Waynesburg University in Pennsylvania.

Professor Scott has been the BEST guitar instructor. I have so appreciated his teaching style. I’m so grateful to have found him and have him as my instructor.

Mr. Elliott Is professional and a genuine gentleman. Unfortunately, I will not be able to work with him and I feel as though that is my loss. I was able to find an intensive course in my own community. I’m going to give this a try if it doesn’t work I’m going to contact Mr. Elliott and try the virtual. Route. This man is a genuine and a gentlemen.

Scott Elliott is one of the best and most professional instructors I have worked with. My sight reading skills, timing, and playing have improved in the time that we've worked together.

Excellent. It is going great. I’m motivated and making a lot of progress. I’m confident I can meet my long term goals and play some really cool music.

I learned more in 1 hour about chord progressions than two years from 2 separate instructors.

After just one lesson it’s clear Scott is an exceptional instructor . His structured, professional style excelled above any lesson I’ve taken. If you are looking for a structured , professional that will enable you to learn how to read music and play the guitar, look no further, he is the best!

Sorry I am just seeing this but I have been with these lessons for a while now. I can not express the value I find in each lesson. The intricacies of learning such an great instrument as the guitar and having a very knowledgeable teacher. I am hoping to continue for a long time and to become accomplish player with such a teacher.
