To The Brink! (2004)
Wayne Harper - San Antonio, TX
Incredible master of jazz guitar

Started my day listening to Robert Conti's "To the brink" album. "Mister. Twisters Fanfare" is absolutely a perfect example of chord melody improv and flawless jazz lines. The great thing is every technique he employs is spelled out in his Source Code series books. Robert totally destroys the old saying "those that can, play.....those that that can't, teach. Robert is not only an incredible master of jazz guitar he is also dedicated to sharing his secrets with the rest of us 6 string junkies... If you've ever been baffled by "how do they do that"?, RobertConti.com is a great place to start.

He gets you playing

I have all of his stuff and have met him and Mike, part of his sales organization. I have almost every jazz method - my wife can attest to that. He lived in Jacksonville FL for awhile. I particularly like his chord melody material. Controversial using an extremely thin pick (Dunlop .38 mm). Almost a Suzuki approach - he gets you playing complete songs first, then adds back in the theory

Plays so smoothly…Outstanding Customer Service

My Conti Entrada plays so smoothly and is so BEAUTIFUL too. Thank you for providing outstanding customer service. Including the personalized video of Robert Conti playing my actual guitar was so SPECIAL. No other guitar company has ever provided this HIGHLY INDIVIDUALIZED customer service. This was one of the best online guitar purchases that I’ve ever made. Thanks Mike for answering all of my questions and assisting with my patience during the building and processing period. I am now a PROUD owner of a CONTI GUITAR!!

A much-needed dream come true...

2024 - 2 Entrada Archtop Guitars

Wonderful guitars. I call them my “fraternal twins”. Both of my Robert Conti designed guitars play magnificently, and carry the sound of a full size electrified arch top with the amazing dual Kent Armstrong pickups, Fantastic workmanship. They are both stunning beauties. One cannot go wrong with purchasing such a guitar that is in the superlative. The best design of a guitar that has ever existed, a much-needed dream come true for the working, professional guitarist, or hobbyist. A special thank-you goes out to Robert Conti, for the videos showing these guitars in action, as well as Mike, and Steve for all their help and correspondence regarding my purchases of these very fine guitars. Plus, all the course materials that I have purchased over the years are available on the site to all who want to improve their improvisational skills.

2009 - Equity Model

Case closed, this is the guitar of the future. The appointments far exceed all my expectations and make all of my studies pertaining to jazz guitar a monumental pleasure. Many bell-like tones, bone nut, perfect neck, solid woods. All my other guitars are now on probation. Once you get your hands on a "Conti/Equity" guitar, there is no turning back.

Just getting started

Worked though the first two lessons of the Jazz Lines book (more to go), but it opened a door for me. I’ve come to understand there is a difference between theory and harmony. This is about learning harmony. If you want to play jazz learn harmony.

Robert Conti is awesome! His debut jazz recording “”The Robert Conti Quintet Featuring Mike WoiTord” is as viable today as it was when it was released in 1980.  The first tune “Rotation” is an up tempo swing tune that Conti eats alive with his blistering single note lines.  “‘The Agony Of Ecstasy” is a ballad with Herman Riley on Soprano saxophone playing the haunting melody punctuated by string arrangements and subtle comping by Wofford and Conti.  Conti adds some nice chord soloing and some single note material.  “Hollywood And Sunset” is a medium swing tune with another great Conti solo representing a Philadelphia guitar sound started by Pat Martino.  “In Memory Of” is a song Conti wrote aficr the passing of his father in 1979.  Conti lets Wofford take over and play this wonderlul ballad tune solo with a gentle touch.  “The Street Life Of South Philadelphia” is a 618 grooving tune with a vamping section followed by a turnaround for the form.  Conti shines on this original from the period.  “The World Today” is another soulful ballad penned by Conti.  He takes a great extended solo with much attention to taste.  Conti also shows his chops soloing with  octaves.  “String Fever” is an up tempo rllythm change-~ tune showcasing Conti talent on the timeless jazz from.
