Ellen Britton Guitar

Awesome guitar teacher and person! I'd highly recommend Ellen to anyone, whether they're pro guitar players or they've never played before. Ellen keeps it fun and knows when to challenge you. Guitar Boot Camp with Ellen is also one of the best feel-good ways to spend a Saturday.

I have taken lessons with Ellen for about four years. I absolutely love her teaching style. As a student, you are in control of your learning. Whether you want to learn the basics, how to play hit songs, or how to play your original songs more efficiently or effectively, Ellen has something for you. I've taken lessons with other teachers in past and, while I learned a bit about theory from those other teachers, what I needed most was to learn to maximize the guitar as a tool for songwriting and performing in songwriter rounds. From the Nashville number system to "how not to suck" courses, Ellen is perfect for anyone wanting to learn how to play at any level and be a better performer. I look forward to every lesson and am always learning something new. I recently took a "Boot Camp" course as well. It was a blast and I can't wait to attend another one. I can't say enough about Ellen as a teacher and mentor.

Ellen is amazing!!! I have only been taking lessons with Ellen for a few months and already feel much more confident, knowledgeable and motivated to really do this! Ellen has a way of getting you to really understand the basics while challenging you to grow and learn. There are no dumb questions only positive learning!!! I look forward to my weekly lessons which fly by as she shares her knowledge and we share some laughs and have a lot of fun!! I already consider her a great friend whom I hope to learn and grow with over the years to come!!!

My daughter has been taking guitar lessons from Ellen for three years now and she absolutely loves her! Ellen is not only an exceptional guitar player, singer and songwriter, but is gifted beyond words in her ability to teach. She also teaches fun and enriching classes outside of her lessons like “ Guitar Boot Camp” and performance classes. You can’t go wrong with Ellen!

Ellen is an awesome guitar teacher and performer! In the past two years she's taught me everything from basic strum patterns and grooves, to picking patterns, music theory basics, the Nashville numbers system, performance tips, and ear training (learning to pull chords out of songs that we hear and play them on the guitar). Ellen is a very skilled teacher, so even remote lessons on Skype are excellent.

Oh, and she's a wonderful and patient teacher and person, and a delight to spend time with. Definitely one of my favorite hours of the week!

There's a reason that Ellen is one of Nashville's premier guitar teachers, and she lives up to her reputation. Look no further if you're looking to learn the basics, or master more complex skills.
