Lesson solo over chord progression to: Blues For Alice

  • MIDI & MP3 files of single note solo & rhythm section

DVD Running Time: 1 Hour

Conti plays a pro level (more challenging than the Ticket To Improv series) solo over the chord changes to an in-demand jazz tune. Then, in his straight-forward approach, he teaches you to duplicate the entire solo, close-up, measure-by-measure, note-by-note. As documented by scores students in written testimonials, and their performance videos, you learn to play jazz, by playing jazz, not talking about modes or scales.

You must get the idea out of your head that you’re “just learning someone else’s solo.” When a child learns to speak, he/she emulates words that they have heard before. No one says to the child, “you’re just learning someone else’s words.” The child learns a word, then another word. The pattern continues until the child can speak in complete sentences (and without knowing the “theory” behind language.) As you develop your jazz vocabulary, you’ll soon reshape the ideas for applications over other tunes. These DVDs are for you if you’ve got serious chops, but don’t know what to do with them. If you practice modes and scales all the time, that’s what your solos will sound like – boring and uninteresting to say the least. Learn hip jazz lines, and have lots of fun doing it.

Slowly trying to get Mr. Conti’s lines under my fingers! Not the easiest thing to do but with a lot of practice it’s possible. These lessons are golden!

Just started it, but as with all of the Conti instructional materials, it is fantastic! I’m not even a bop player. I love Jazz, but I also Love Freddie King, and BB King. Conti is helping me bring the two together. Good stuff as always!

I ordered and received 5 volumes of the improvisation DVDs. I've completed the solo for Big City Blues v.3 and now I begin The Smoking Lineman v.2 The great service of your approach overcomes two major obstacles: guitar instructor's fetish for theory and scales; and selfishness/guardedness of music...

WOW!!!!!!! Robert Conti's “Jazz Master” was the first TrueFire course that I bought and I’m still learning from it. The Robert Conti lessons are laid out well with deep dives into “Bossa Nova”, “Bebop Solo”, and “Blues Solo”, into manageable bites that are not overwhelming. “Moon River”, “Rainy Day”...
