My limitations have always been not able to read notes fluently, don't recognize the guitar fretboard, and not able to connect notes & melodies efficiently on the guitar. As a classic rock guitar player, I'd just practice songs on tabs & remember all the licks & solo lines by heart & ears. There's little motivation for me to figure ...

Mr. C: I want to thank you in a BIG way how grateful I am to you and your teaching ideas. I just completed chapter 7 of the Jazz Lines source book and it has been a great journey. I finally got it. The shapes is the way to go. After 8 years of studying scales and modes I couldn't improvise, but now I can. In fact, I am coming up with my own ideas; ...

I feel this is needed to learn play. This is actual music. Not theory that doesn’t really teach you music. Love this.

I first heard of Robert Conti many years ago and bought some of his material (Ticket to Improv, Precision Technique) and worked with them diligently, with real success, yet with less than I had hoped. This is when I realized that my picking technique needed an overhaul. I tried everything I could think of (the Benson technique, a stint at Troy Gra...

I was very nervous about playing in front of Robert but he put me at my ease very quickly.

Also I was getting an echo of my own voice and my guitar which was disconcerting. However those issues appear to have been...

I've been playing for a long time and have a decent knowledge of harmony, but jazz improv always seemed like something unachievable. Until (almost by accident) I found Mr. Conti's lessons. He truly reveals the secrets of the greats. An awesome educator with a unique approach.

The course provides an enormous amount of material. It takes me a step further from straight comping to more variation and even interaction with other musicians. Each example provided by Robert is a real challenge for me - but every time I master it, it‘s another step in my learning journey. What is different in Robert‘s.courses is that he encourag...

(Excerpted from a jazz guitar discussion forum) The genius of it, in my view, is that your fingers will say "Hey we've played this before" but your mind will be saying "But this is a different chord progression..." and you start seeing how licks and lines can be moved around. For a strong intermediate player or advanced player, these solos would no...
