Learn The Formula, the Conti approach to advanced reharmonization of your chord melodies to achieve pro-level sound. Considered by many pro guitarists and pianists as the “go to” resource on the subject, this is another best seller now enhanced with 6 hours of DVD video! First, Conti reduces what is generally viewed as highly complex subject matter to a handful of quickly comprehensible guidelines. Next, through a series of examples, Robert clearly demonstrates his Formula to create the reharmonized pro-level arrangements as seen in Just Jazz Guitar Magazine, the Play Pro Chord Melody Today DVD Series and his Signature Chord Melody Arrangement books. Learn his methodology and you’ll be amazed when you hear the results you’ll begin to accomplish very quickly.

The Formula – Disc One – 4 Hours

Conti teaches The Formula! Then he presents 4 SOLID HOURS of the “How To Nuts & Bolts” with numerous ideas and examples. Within the first few chapters of this Book and DVD, any upper level intermediate student will learn exactly how to begin creating stunning Pass, Peterson and Tatum type substitutions and reharmonizations for any standard, simply by learning Conti’s Formula to manipulate the most basic elements of harmony with ease.

The Formula – Disc Two – 2 Hours

Robert spends ANOTHER 2 HOURS to present the viewer with 3 full length songs that further demonstrate real world applications of the methodology he taught on Disc One. You’ll soon understand why thousands of savvy jazz guitarists and pianists rank The Formula! as the ultimate methodology book on the subject of reharmonization.

We are frequently asked the difference between The Formula and The Chord Melody Assembly Line. Simply, The Formula teaches more advanced concepts in reharmonization. If you’re just starting out with wanting to create chord melodies from a lead sheet or fake book, start with The Chord Melody Assembly Line instead.

The Formula Includes:

Full size 8.5″ x 11″ Booklet
Two DVD set totaling 6 Hours of high quality instruction from Robert Conti
Easy to read chord grids for every note

I think you are the only one that explains the magic of chord melody! I admire Conti's method, I think it is the best, a hands on approach and at the same time it teaches the way professionals play. Like we Brazilians say, he doesn't only give the fish, he teaches to fish! I love jazz standards and ...

Hi Robert, I received the The Formula! (and your CD - thanks much!) on Monday in the mail. The CD is, as expected, just great. You're an incredible player and I'm really enjoying the CD. I was delighted and amused to read that you're from Philly and grew up with Pat Martino. It does seem apparent th...

It has got to be the most instructional piece of work I have ever read.Years ago I knew because ...

What to say that hasn't already been said about this DVD...? I loved every second of the six hour seminar. As soon as I got it in the mail I canceled all my plans and got ready for some heavy material. Although, it wasn't heavy in the sense of complicated work, it was rather valuable. After you buy ...

Hi, Saturday afternoon I received my source code book four "The Formula" in the mail. Wow! After reviewing just the first two lessons (about an hour), I picked a tune (Autumn In New York) out of my fake book and began reharmonizing using what I had learned from just the first two lessons. I can't be...

Hi Robert, I came up with a fair version in AX, but knew something was lacking and shelved it until later. What I lacked, you provided in spades ! I love Jimmy Van Heusen's songs and you've exposed his fondness for chromatic movement and tomorrow , I shall be learning your great arrangement. I've le...

Dear Robert Conti: I have been playing guitar for almost fifty years and I am really enjoying the Formula and indeed the Chord Melody Assembly Line. Just the material I have been searching for for years. It is an excellent balance of didactic structure and 'go try it for yourself' tuition. Thank you...

I still have some of your licks stuck up in the back of my head and I pull them out every now and then...some of these blues guys never figure them out...especially when I start throwing out some REAL chords...I wish I lived closer, I'd be poundin' down your door for some more private lessons!

Let me tell you about the books of Mr. Conti, the general approach is revolutionary. But the most astounding book is the Formula. It's really amazing that his secret in theory is in simplicity and most importantly that the actual playing is what counts and nothing else.

I am one of his best customers. I have ordered several of his lesson DVDs. I find them not only instructive but fantastic chords along with the melodies. Conti, in my book is the greatest.
