Perhaps you could try basic technology freelancing as a way to keep a basic income running. There are always lots of people, local business owners etc., who want basic websites but don't have the time to maintain them. As you're a veteran and have experience in the technology industry, I would imagine that you'd be pretty well-respected in your community. Keeping a Wordpress or Drupal instance up-to-date and the DNS secure is already way beyond most people's ability, but it really requires a trustworthy figure to manage, especially when their businesses' reputation is tied to their website.
If this is practical, you could gradually increase or lower the amount of sites you manage to keep an income up while you test the waters teaching the guitar.
(I'm assuming by 'tech' you're referring to software development)
