Guitar Center Tyler 8966 S. Broadway Suite 160 Tyler, TX
The Irish Mexican slings his guitar all over Texas pursuing musicianship of the highest standard. He began playing guitar at age six on a 1969 Alvarez dreadnaught instructed by his father. Learning all the open major and minor chords, the building blocks for acoustic rock & folk music was practiced and played. ​ It wasn't long and he was asking for an electric guitar. An agreement was made between teacher and student. That when he could play his father’s best song, "Needle and the Damage Done", perfectly, an electric guitar would be in his hands. A week later an Aria Pro II Les Paul style could be heard from the home every day after school through a no name amplifier. His blue collar parents filled the home with the energy of Rock n' Roll. Chuck Berry’s greatest hits was the first record played on a Sears record player. The beginning of a record collection was alive and the study, love, and passion for music born. His mother played all the AC/DC records from 74' Jailbreak to Back in Black. Then she really opened her children's minds (Richard & Jarrod) with everything James Marshall Hendrix. After a long week of cutting glass his father would turn up the Pioneer 88's and get "Mellow Down Easy" with ZZ/Top. A pure Rock n' Roll family. In the fifth grade for show and tell Richie gave his first guitar lesson to his class with a five question quiz. By this time an Ibanez Destroyer was in the arsenal with a Peavey 20-watt amp. Confidence was building up enough to perform in a band. The debut was at the Elks Lodge B.P.O.E 1832 in Pasadena, TX with Harry and the other Country. A red Ibanez Destroyer was pulled from a case labeled "the Music Man” and hit the stage with a bundle of nerves and a pocket full of chords. Following the changes of "Your Cheatin' Heart" and " Whiskey Trip" lead to the versatility of the guitarist. ​ Now exposed to working musicians, the young guitar player began playing in bands across the Houston-Metro music scene professionally at age 13. Honing the craft by live performances and formal study of the instrument by local instructors showed progression. Being a listener in the audience strummed his heart as well. Listening to local bands brought the opportunity for auditions to perform out across the Lone Star State and the mid-West. These tours across the Mid-West, Ark-la-TX, and the Gulf coast sparked a voice. By age seventeen the lead guitarist was also the lead singer of his own group named ENSYDE. After quitting high school to play music then returning to graduate with a music scholarship. Jazz and Classical music was flooding into ears and heart of this striving musician. Through his study at San Jacinto Jr. College writing, recording and performing his Progressive Rockin Latin Jazz Funk Texas sling style was constant. Local producers and production companies worked to land a record deal. A couple strikes of interest developed into broken production deals sending the music back home to Texas from Los Angeles, California. You can hear that the passion has never died when you hear the driving orchestrated sound of self-produced TxGtrSlinger, Richard E. Callahan.

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.
