Guitar Center McAllen 3300 W. Expressway 83 Suite 800 McAllen, TX
Longtime resident of McAllen, I took interest in music at an early age. Been playing guitar since I was 11. After graduating from UTPA (NOW UTRGV), I continued my teaching career in private instruction. I have taught some amazing students along the way and have played with some awesome musicians. Been producing on and off for ten years as well. Life is a fun journey and I think the party has just begun.
George Olguin

Guitar Center McAllen 3300 W. Expressway 83 Suite 800 McAllen, TX
I was born and raised in Weslaco, TX and grew up in a musical family, so music has always been a part of my life. Not only do I enjoy playing, but I really enjoy teaching. In my spare time, I work on my own creative projects such as making music in a variety of genres and I really like musical improvisation. I play a wide range of instruments and am open-minded to any goal a student sets out to achieve.

Guitar Center McAllen 3300 W. Expressway 83 Suite 800 McAllen, TX
Hi my name's Lucas! I’m from Hidalgo, I’ve been playing guitar since I was about 10 years old. I have been playing in bands ever since. I’ve played in rock/metal bands, indie bands, country bands, and mariachis. My current bands are with City Jam and Gusto Gusto. In my spare time, I also compose my own music while also finishing up my classical guitar studies at UTRGV with a concentration in Music Education. I believe that giving the student the tools they need to be successful lies within themselves and a teacher is there to bring out their inner rockstar.

Guitar Center McAllen 3300 W. Expressway 83 Suite 800 McAllen, TX
I've always loved music since before I even understood that concept. My love and passion for music came to me easier than falling asleep. It became a way for me to tell stories and express emotions before I even knew how. I've continued to learn new forms of musical expression, including being able to teach others how to do the same. We've all got stories to tell. Let's find yours and scream it to a shouting stadium. Has been teaching at Guitar Center since 2024.

Frequently Asked Questions
Each instructor customizes lessons to ensure you are learning what you like and having fun. Your instructor will start you slowly, introducing new concepts each week, plus give you exercises or easy songs to play to keep you learning at home.
Learning an instrument is an enriching and rewarding experience that creates lifelong benefits, including increased self-esteem and the boosting of memory. Additionally, benefits for school-age individuals can include improved coordination, the expanding of social skills, and higher scores in math, reading and language.
30-minute lessons allow young or beginner students to learn the basics of the instrument and start playing songs. 60-minute lessons are ideal for more advanced students looking to progress faster and focus on the finer points of technique.
This varies by age and the type of goals the student has set out to achieve. However, most new students usually spend 15–30 min. practicing daily, while advanced students can practice for an hour or more each day in between lessons.
Our flexible curriculum allows students of all skill levels to experience growth. We help create a foundational understanding of music theory through the style of music you want to play. Our instructors will work to understand your goals and passions, and make sure you are on the path to learning what you want at your own speed.
Our Lessons staff will work with you to determine your current skill level, stylistic interest and ambitions. We'll then help you choose an instructor who best suits your style and goals. If at any point, you'd like to change instructors, let us know. Our weekly monitoring of progress and wide-ranging curriculum means you can switch to any of our qualified instructors, or another instrument, without missing a beat.
