I trusted him and his experience and I wasn’t wrong. He coached me at my music studies and helped me network in the music industry. Now we collaborate on numerous musical projects but, most of all. he is a really good friend, always there to help and guide. I owe him a lot in my career and my life. I am proud to be one of the first graduates of Elite Guitar Coaching and I wholeheartedly recommend it to anyone that wishes to develop their guitar abilities, their music creation skills and their understanding of the Music Business.” ― Theodore Kalantzakos
“Our first meeting with Ioannis was an absolutely thrilling experience. I had been playing the classical guitar for about 18 years and electric guitar just as a hobby. Ioannis was the one who helped me expand my knowledge and evolve my electrical guitar technique. His coaching helped me achieve my goal – to become a professional, raise the standard of my guitar playing, to deepen my knowledge of modern music and to fill all the gaps I had in my musical knowledge. He’s an amazing teacher, with a great communicability and a true master of his instrument but what truly makes him stand out from anybody else is that he really cares about his students and always insists in bringing out the best of their ability.” ― Jim Nassios
“Ioannis is an exceptional coach and a true virtuoso of the guitar. During the 4 years I have been studying with him, he has always been able to show me the most efficient ways to break down and master every aspect of the electric guitar. It is from him that I have learned one of the most important lessons, that a musician keeps evolving throughout his entire life. A truly great contemporary guitarist, with amazing improvisational skills – he is definitely one of my biggest influences.” ― Panos F.
