WORKSHOPS

Here are some workshops you can host along with a house concert or on its own when Justin is in your area:

Capo Envy – Obsessive Capo Disorder

Have you ever seen artists using multiple or partial capos and wondered ”What on earth are they doing!?”  Chances are you’ve been stricken by partial capo envy.  No need to fret, actually there is, but worry not!  This workshop will introduce the keys to understanding how to use both the Kyser “Drop-D” and “Shortcut” capos in standard tuning.  It’s easier than it looks!  You will learn a simple way to use single or multiple partial capos to enhance your guitar sound and apply it to songs you’ve already written or songs to come using chords you already know.  Handouts will be provided and partial capos are available for use and purchase at the workshop.  There will also be time to share your discoveries and get feedback from Justin and the group.  Some guitar experience is necessary, but this workshop is open to beginners as well as seasoned players.

Getting Started with Altered Tunings

Want to explore altered tunings but don’t know where to start?  This  workshop with Justin Roth will explore ways to understand, compose in, convert songs to, and switch between altered tunings.  No need to be intimidated by too much music theory, we will learn a simple way to relate altered tunings to songs you’ve already written or songs to come. Handouts will be provided to get you started with chord positions in different tunings.  In addition, other techniques will be introduced to help enhance your solo guitar sound.

STUDIO WORK AND RECORDING

Justin records in his own studio and is available for producing, recording or demoing your next project – OR – hire Justin to play or sing on your next project by simply sending files.
