Partial Capo Techniques workshop with Randall Williams

“So there’s finally a map to this territory! Thanks, Randall. I’ve made my way through this wilderness for years without seeing the big picture.” - David Wilcox

This two-hour session will cover use of standard, Drop-D, and Short-Cut capos, separately and together in more than a dozen different positions in standard tuning. Learn the structural reasons why capos fit in certain combinations, and wow audiences with the variation you get by playing on both sides of the capo.

The first third will be an interactive presentation, followed by practice time and one-on-one coaching. During the last part, participants will showcase one song that they’ve adapted to include partial capo techniques. A one-page handout will be given out, and everyone should bring a guitar and a notebook.
