Get Help at your local chapter

10 Weeks of One-on-One Lessons

You want to learn to play the music you like to listen to. So that’s what we’ll help you learn. From rock to country to folk and everything in between.

“Graduate” to receive your guitar and gear kit

When you finish lessons, you’re just getting started. You’ll get your very own guitar and all the equipment you need to keep the riffs rolling. For free.

Continue to learn and find support in communal lessons

Sometimes, you just want to jam. Circle up with like-minded Vets that get it.

Guitars for Vets are a registered 501(c) (3) non-profit organization and as such governed by certain rules that dictate what we are able to do.
