This workshop is virtual and takes place via Zoom.

Do you play the guitar and are looking for tips to improve your technique? Musicians of all skill levels are invited to participate in a 10-week series of virtual lessons with Glen McCarthy, guitar instructor for the Veterans and the Arts Initiative at George Mason University. If you are proficient with the following four skills (or are almost there) join us for Level II! (You are also welcome to participate in both Level I and Level II. If you plan to attend both levels, please indicate this on the registration form.)

Proficiency Guidelines for Level II Participation:


  1. Can you (the participant) accurately read tablature and/or staff notation?
  2. Do you know the following open chords (A, Am, C, D, E, Em, Fmajor7, G) and can you quickly switch between these chords?
  3. Can you play songs that call for particular (down and up) strumming techniques?
  4. Can you play songs that call for power chords?

These virtual workshops take place on Tuesday evenings and are open and FREE to Veterans, Servicemembers, military family members, and military caregivers.
