Play Pro Chord Melody Today Instructional DVD Series
If you're a subscriber to Just Jazz Guitar magazine and you're familiar with Robert Conti's signature pro chord melody arrangements featured in each issue, you already know just how easy it is to produce pro level sounding arrangements by simply playing the chord grids above each melody note. By popular demand, for those of you who want to see and hear the arrangement, we're proud to present this new series of Chord Melody DVDs!
Due to the success of the jazz improv DVDs, the chord melody DVDs are done in the same Conti format:
- Robert Conti performs the chord melody arrangement for the viewer.
- He then devotes the entire remainder of the DVD to taking the time to show you every single chord.
There's no guesswork involved here, just play the chords
Play Pro Chord Melody Today DVD Series Review,
Published in Just Jazz Guitar Magazine, November 2006
"If you are interested in learning professional gig ready arrangements very quickly, this DVD is for you. Conti’s goal is to have the student/viewer play meaningful music as quickly as possible and without having to first learn scales, modes and theory. Conti firmly believes that it is much easier to learn as he says, the “nuts and bolts” after you can actually play the music.
As I was about to complete this issue, I received the first two Volumes of this new DVD series. After seeing the quality of Volume One, I hope many more will follow. The second DVD in this series teaches Conti’s arrangement of God Bless The Child, which was featured in the August 2006 issue.
He teaches the complete arrangement chord by chord, measure by measure. Watching it on DVD makes it easy to review some parts that you need to work on. None of the chord forms are especially difficult for an intermediate player. In addition, as he progresses through each measure, the chord grids appear very clearly on the screen. I found this feature to be extremely helpful.
I viewed the entire (107) minutes of content. While I couldn't play it fluently on the first run, with a little practice I should be able to play it perfectly in a short time. After the first time through the lesson, I also learned some new things that could easily be applied to many other tunes. For $19.95, I think it's the best teaching DVD out there for learning chord melody solos very quickly."
