Vol. 1 Signature Chord Melody Arrangements
Dr Kenneth Louis - Tampa, FL
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.

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.

Vol. 4 Wave
Mike Sanders - Las Vegas, NV
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.

One Happy German Fellow!

We wanted to take a moment to share this heartfelt and motivational commentary from one of our patrons in Germany:

The Assembly Line & The Formula

“I found Mr. Conti when I saw a video of him showing how to play chord melody.  He said something like: “Learn the chords and understand the system.” I already knew most of the chords he was playing but didn’t understand the system. In the background I could read www.RobertConti.com, so I googled this, and there I found another video were Mr. Conti  plays this cowboy song and explains what is shown in the Chord Melody Assembly Line and The Formula as I remember. So I ordered the Chord Melody Assembly because $40.00 is not so much, even if it is useless. IT WAS NOT. Mr. Conti doesn’t lie when he promises you: “You can learn it” YOU CAN.

My wife asked me: “Was it worth the money?”  I said: “Yes, if I knew before, what big connections the Chord Melody Assembly Line would give me, I would have payed 10 times more, because I can play chord melody from one moment to the other and I understood the system at once, even though I still didn’t know were Robert Conti got all these chords in the Signature Chord Melody Arrangements. So I will order the other books too.” That was a pretty good idea.  After reading The Formula, I knew not only were Mr. Conti got the chords from, I can create chord melody by myself. If you told me this before, that I am able to this, after understanding the system, I would not have believed it.

Intros, Endings & Turnarounds

It works with The Formula and it is very good to have 120 ideas from an experienced musician that you can combine to create new intros.

The Precision Technique

This book sped up my picking and it feels like I can play twice as fast as I could before. My speed increase was also helped with his thin pick. I experimented with different picks before, but never used such a thin one, because when I tried thin picks they deformed and were looking pretty soon like a boomerang not usable.

I think that Mr. Conti’s books are interesting for any guitarist at any level. I am sure that 99.99% of the guitarists don’t know every thing explained in these books. See what you pay, maybe for a guitar, then need a better one. Maybe the new  guitar sounds better but you are still playing the same.  When you work with the “Source Code” line, your playing will increase immediately and Robert Conti lifts you up to a higher plateau. So he did with me. I can play things I couldn’t play before and other things, which I could hardly play, I play with ease now.

I’ve played guitar for 44 years and been playing jazz for 10 years. I never made this much progress in such a small period of 2 months. Thank you for all these books Mr. Conti. You are the best teacher I’ve ever seen.”

Kind regards
Markus Wolf, Germany
