Super excellent

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.

One of Conti's Best Solo Lessons

All of the Robert Conti DVDs are top-notch, but this one takes the cake. He takes what some consider to be a harmonically complex tune and breaks it done into the simplest of terms. From here, the viewer is taken through the lesson a few measures at a time, with each concept explained in detail and with care. Once you have the lesson under your hands, you not only have an impressive solo but an increased vocabulary of lines to use on other songs and a better understanding of how to approve improvisation over any song. Great fun and well worth the effort. If you are new to improvisation, I recommend learning from a few of Conti’s “Ticket to Improv” DVDs first as you will internalize the lesson much faster and have a greater understanding of the concepts presented.

My choice of strings

For my Entradas. These strings came with my Entradas so I’m sticking with them. Live the wound 3rd string. Great tone and playability!

Chord Melody at Its Best!

This is a great DVD to start building your chord melody repertoire. Mr. Conti walks you thru the classic “Since I Fell for You” and provides you with several ways to approach the tune using a series of different chordal harmonic arrangements. Besides learning to play the song several different ways, Mr. Conti is at the ready with his famous “Off the Sheet” tips. These are items that not part of the regular lesson plan, but are sure to help take your chord melody playing to an even higher level. Of the Chord Melody arrangements, this is my personal favorite, but after finishing the DVD, I purchased ALL the other Chord Melody DVDs as I was so inspired to learn more.

International Jazz Guitarist Performs at Shoshone-Bannock Hotel

IDAHO FALLS, ID, Feb. 5 – World-renowned international jazz guitarist Robert Conti performed for guests of the Idaho Heart Foundation’s first annual Heart Ball at the Shoshone-Bannock Hotel on Saturday, February 5. His outstanding performance added to the overwhelming success of the Idaho Heart Foundation (IHF) Heart Ball.

“We are honored and proud to have Robert as part of the event,” said Dr. Wachter. “I am so honored to have such internationally recognized artist to not only recognize the importance of our cause, but to be part of our mission to spread the awareness throughout our community. We’re very honored that he finds the importance of what we’re doing here, and we appreciate his continued support. Conti is an dear friend personally and to the foundation.”

Conti donated his talent and expertise to the IHF to support awareness of cardiovascular disease, and to raise funds for CPR and AED training clinics in the community. The IHF has been providing these trainings at public events since its founding in 2017 and has been providing AEDs for public first responders. The Heart Ball was a collective effort to raise donations to the foundation to support their mission of awareness and education of CPR, AED use, youth awareness, and patient support groups. Foundation members put on a CPR demonstration during the event and showed attendees how to properly use an AED.
