About

Never touched a guitar? Been playing for years and want to 'level up'?

I can help!

My job is to make you a great player so you can play the music you want to play!

My lessons are 30 minutes once a week and we do cover technique so you can eventually play whatever you want to play but, playing the guitar is supposed to be fun so I have a 'Top 40 songs every guitarist should know' and we pick form them and also songs you want to learn.

As a Berklee graduate, I use some of their guitar books for the lessons and I also rely on my 35 years playing, recording, and touring experience. I believe my real world experience is a great source if information.

The Blues is also very important to know as a guitarist so I do teach that to everyone.

    Shaun is knowledgeable, responsive, and fun. He is able to provide instruction on both playing and the underlying theory to help build out technical knowledge and understanding across genres.

    Being an older student with bad practicing skills I have benefited a great deal from Shaun Doughertys patience. I have tried off and on since the 1960s to learn to play the guitar and this is the first time I actually believe that I will accomplish this dream. I dont think most people know that Shaun Dougherty earned a degree in Arranging Theory & Composition from the Berklee College of Music in Boston and that combined with preforming live throughout the US has made him an incredible teacher. I have actually learned to read music.

    Shaun is very patient with me. I am an older student and dont pick things up so quickly anymore but he never shows his frustration. Hes also very well trained. He is able to foray into my odd musical tastes of Flamenco and old French Torch songs with ease. Shaun is relaxed, flexible and professional. I went from zero to being able to play Bach (kind of sort af) in just over a year.

    Shaun has been my son’s guitar teacher for nine years. We’ve seen our son grow so much musically from Shaun’s instruction. Shaun is knowledgeable, patient, relatable and very encouraging to his students. Shaun was a also a huge part of helping our son prepare and be ready for his college auditions.

    My daughter started taking lessons with Shaun when she was 9. She has advanced well with his lessons. He always is looking for songs she’s interested in to keep her interested. Strongly recommend.

    Frequently asked questions

    I like the student to tell me about themselves in an email. I like to know what kinds of music they like, their goals and past experiences.

    I have my B.M. from Berklee college if music in Boston MA. I also have over 15 years teaching experience that consists of over 500 students and 15,000 lessons taught!

    Lessons are $30 per 30 minute lessons once a week. I do have several students that take mutliple lessons a week so I am open to that too.

    I take payments through Zelle, Apple Pay or cash.
