Had your fill of useless modes scales forums youtube newsletters secrets warm ups theory challenges ?

As you likely discovered, the internet is littered with self proclaimed jazz guitarists who can’t play let alone teach. Robert Conti is a heavily credentialed pro level player whose top tier skill is evident in videos (such as the one below) spanning over 50 years. As a teacher is only as good as his students’ results, you’ll see numerous videos of students who are proud to display their results from the Conti learning resources.

Bottom Line: If you’re serious about playing jazz guitar, you’re in the right place.

Conti Produces Players, Not talkers.

The Conti “Forward Motion” platform places high impact lines under your fingers from the start. You play first, then analyze! If you’ve been unable to achieve short term playing results similar to the sample of our students below, you’re wasting time with a teacher who can’t play, so they bombard you with modes, scales, theory and other non-playing junk (remember the gauntlet?). If your goal is playing jazz guitar, then you’re in the right place. You’ll see numerous videos like the ones below in our Players Gallery.

I have been picking away at the guitar for lots of years now and have never come across anyone who hit the nail on the head about modes, scales, etc. This has always been a source of frustration and an obstacle to me. As soon as I heard Robert call t...

Finally a teaching method that works. I have tried for years to get into playing jazz. It was always the same old thing, I just didnt feel smart enough to play, and figured I would be a hundred years old before I learned my first solo. I bought Mr Co...

I'm 53 years old so not prone to the use of abbreviated exclamations such as 'OMG!'. However, in the case of Robert's product, The Jazz Lines, that staple of the younger generation's communication these days is exactly what I felt on reading the firs...

Back when I was coming up, it was just us with our guitars. We played jazz guitar to learn jazz guitar and nothing else entered the equation. Turn jazz into an academic endeavor and you’ll never become a player.

If you’ve had your fill of daily blog posts, tons of disjointed free lessons on Youtube, academies, conservatories, eBooks, workshops, forums, discussion groups and you still can’t play – come see me and my students.
