About
Patrick Dugan is part teacher, part musical guide, part studio monk with a guitar. He teaches guitar, bass, ukulele, and voice across pop, rock, jazz, blues, funk, bluegrass, reggae, and heavy metal—because soul and awesomeness show up in many styles. He holds a Bachelor’s degree in Professional Music from Berklee College of Music and has been teaching and performing professionally since before 2006. His training spans music theory, recording, production, song writing, artist development, live performance, and music technology, all wrapped in a relaxed, human way of teaching that aims to keep creativity, inspiration, and motivation alive and well. Patrick’s high student retention comes from a rare mix of deep knowledge and real-world wisdom mixed with rare intuition. He welcomes students of every age and background and builds lessons around who they are and who they want to become, not who they’re “supposed” to be. Every session is tailored to the student’s unique voice, strengths, direction, and level of commitment. Many of his students have gone on to pursue successful music careers. Others just want to play with confidence. Patrick believes both are sacred. His goal isn’t perfection—it’s expression, confidence, excellence, and a lifelong relationship with music that one can be proud of.

Patrick was an absolute highlight of our wedding celebration! From the beginning, he was professional, responsive, and easy to work with. He showed amazing flexibility with the timing of the evening, adapting smoothly to a few last-minute changes without missing a beat. His performance was outstanding and created the perfect atmosphere for our special day. So many of our guests commented on how talented he was. If you're looking for a reliable and skilled musician, we highly recommend Patrick!

Pat played for the Brookdale retirement home residents as a Christmas gift for my 98 year old mother, also a resident. He was great and everyone loved the show. I highly recommend him for any program you could use entertainment.

The closest musician I can think of with talent comparable to Patrick is John Mayer. They are both talented on such a high level where they are able to sing as well as any professional while bringing sounds out of their guitars that are unique to them. Patrick is a phenomenal musician. He turned our party from a regular gathering to an epic event. I could only choose three items to describe working with Patrick. Value and punctuality also apply. If you are planning a party that you want you and your friends to remember, then book Patrick.

Details: Birthday party • 25 guests or fewer • 31 - 50 years old • Guitar • Vocals • Rock / classic rock • Covers • Country / bluegrass • Outdoors

I'm a 51 YO professional and music lover who was introduced to guitar at an early age, but who put down any serious practice or study for decades. Over the last 2-3 years, I was motived to pick up the guitar again, but like we all do - I hit a wall. Patrick is able to help me fill in the knowledge and skill gaps I have, develop effective and efficient practice routines, apply music theory in an excitable way, as well as advance my playing overall. I look forward to my lessons and I find them to be exponentially helpful to my guitar playing. Patrick is accommodating, knowledgeable, professional, punctual, as well as flexible (which has helped me in be able to maintain a solid practice routine despite a very intense work schedule). He shares a HUGE amount of material and is versed in it all. His lesson material and notes are very organized and easily accessible. It is not only easy to access, but makes it fun to learn and also fun to tech to my teenage son following my lessons. I would STRONGLY encourage anyone who is even slightly on the fence abut taking lessons to reach out to Patrick for some level of instruction - it will pay-off tenfold to create a solid foundation for many decades of enjoyment!!! If I had any regrets, it would be that I didn't do it ten-or-more years ago :-) Rock On!!!

Details: 45 - 64 years old • 2 - 4 yrs of formal training • Yes, can read guitar tabs • Electric • Rock • Country • Yes, the student has an instrument • 60 minutes • At the pro’s location • My home, venue, etc. • Remotely (phone or internet)
