coordination in my right hand as well as my sense of timing. I anticipate within a year I will completely regain my loss ability thanks to these exercises. No matter what level of skill and ability you currently command you will greatly benefit from this study. Conti talks at great length about the benefits of using the 0.38 Jim Dunlop picks. I can certainly attest to the fact that it is a difficult transition. However if you are willing to spend the ten to twenty days to make the adjustment you will be glad you did and you will never look back, trust me. Conti also talks at length about concentrating on “the snap of the pick.” I recently read an article where another instructor discusses “the bounce of the pick.” He compares it to the bounce of the stick when a drummer strikes the drum. Thinking of it in these terms help drive the point home and give me greater focus on my picking problems. I hope this share will benefit others having problems in this area. Thanks again Bob, you are The Socrates of Swing!!!

he could teach you the songs both ways. Joe Pass said one time that Robert Conti was the "fastest guitarist alive". I believe Joe. There is a genius alive behind that guitar, in that man. In those fingers. If you are a dedicated jazz player, you need to check out Conti's lessons. You will go somewhere with your abilities. Conti taught me that once you have the foundation...the chords...THEN, the chops can come...so, be patient with the chops...sharpen the axe of your fingers with some of Conti's "String Fever", when you're ready...if you're gonna cook, you gotta stay in the oven for a while, so, you gotta practice, or you aren't gonna get a thing.

te jazz guitar players. Later on I started to buy records from Wes Montgomery, Martin Taylor and Kenny Burrel, and later on also Mike Stern and Bireli Lagrene. Few weeks ago I saw Bireli Lagrene playing in Paris and coming weekend I will see him again playing at a fstival in France. Just wanted to say that since I heard you for the first time (on You Tube) a few weeks ago, I am listening to you several times a day; you are truly an amazing jazz guitarist; the way you combine musicality with an incredible virtuoso speed of playing (which I sofar only saw with Bireli Lagrene and Joe Pass) is just superb.Best regards,Jos Vesters

tension, size, and spacing. But (since I mostly play the jazzbox) I was not doing the exercises on my classical guitar. After only a week of work splitting my "PT Time" between both guitars, I now find after playing my jazzbox, if pick up the classical and simply play one of the exercises I know one time (have worked through 3 of them so far), it is like I have been playing the classical all day! I thought that Mr. Conti might be interested in this different use for PT. It is useful even though I don't use a pick and it is most useful in helping me move between guitars quickly. Great Stuff!

s and have only scratched the surface of what it's worth.  My method of learning is to watch, listen, practice over and over and let what he is saying soak in.  Sometimes it takes a few days, sometimes a few weeks.  But when I finally get it, I Got it!
