The Signature Chord Melody Arrangements Series

If you can play a chord grid, you can play these harmonically rich arrangements.

For those who are unaware, Robert Conti’s chord melody arrangements are a favorite reader feature in every issue of Just Jazz Guitar magazine.

The Problem

In the world of jazz guitar, almost every chord solo arrangement is written in notation and tablature, which is often discouraging and perhaps, the very reason why most guitarists steer clear of solo playing.

The Conti Approach

Robert Conti eliminates any guess work on your part because he is concerned enough to take the time to include the correct chord grid for every note in the melody line.  In several arrangements, Conti includes multiple rows of chord grids to demonstrate harmonic choices for the player.  The choice is always left to player preference, as either upper or lower row is acceptable.

Players are also urged to experiment with varying combinations of the chords to create new harmonic palettes. While many guitarists do not read notes, every guitarist can read a chord grid, and the ability to play that simple grid will allow any guitarist to actually play a great arrangement. Every Conti arrangement offers clear proof of his determination to be certain that guitarists of even minimum skill, will be able to play these arrangements.

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

Volume 1 Signature Chord Melodies

Great selection of tunes to play and alternative chord voicings to use allowing for variety in delivering the arrangements.
Can be used as block chords I.e. one chord per beat or more sparsely at the player's discretion.
Much material can be cross referenced from the Chord Melody Assembly Line publication.
One thought that might expand the work further- some suggestions as to single line connecting phrases between chords-quite popular with many contemporary players now.
Hope these observations are helpful.
Kind regards Brian

Vol. 1 Signature Chord Melody Arrangements

It is excellent, so many interesting chords and ways of studying and learning songs and harmony. I would recommend the book “Formula” of Mister Conti to understand the functioning of the movements of chords.
