Learn The Formula, the Conti approach to advanced reharmonization of your chord melodies to achieve pro-level sound. Considered by many pro guitarists and pianists as the “go to” resource on the subject, this is another best seller now enhanced with 6 hours of DVD video! First, Conti reduces what is generally viewed as highly complex subject matter to a handful of quickly comprehensible guidelines. Next, through a series of examples, Robert clearly demonstrates his Formula to create the reharmonized pro-level arrangements as seen in Just Jazz Guitar Magazine, the Play Pro Chord Melody Today DVD Series and his Signature Chord Melody Arrangement books. Learn his methodology and you’ll be amazed when you hear the results you’ll begin to accomplish very quickly.

The Formula – Disc One – 4 Hours

Conti teaches The Formula! Then he presents 4 SOLID HOURS of the “How To Nuts & Bolts” with numerous ideas and examples. Within the first few chapters of this Book and DVD, any upper level intermediate student will learn exactly how to begin creating stunning Pass, Peterson and Tatum type substitutions and reharmonizations for any standard, simply by learning Conti’s Formula to manipulate the most basic elements of harmony with ease.

The Formula – Disc Two – 2 Hours

Robert spends ANOTHER 2 HOURS to present the viewer with 3 full length songs that further demonstrate real world applications of the methodology he taught on Disc One. You’ll soon understand why thousands of savvy jazz guitarists and pianists rank The Formula! as the ultimate methodology book on the subject of reharmonization.

We are frequently asked the difference between The Formula and The Chord Melody Assembly Line. Simply, The Formula teaches more advanced concepts in reharmonization. If you’re just starting out with wanting to create chord melodies from a lead sheet or fake book, start with The Chord Melody Assembly Line instead.

The Formula Includes:

Full size 8.5″ x 11″ Booklet
Two DVD set totaling 6 Hours of high quality instruction from Robert Conti
Easy to read chord grids for every note

I just received Robert Conti's Source Code Book Four ("The Formula") last week. The man has a way of packing a tremendous amount of information into my brain quickly. He is a gifted educator. His concept of harmonizing melodies is fantastic and it works great for me. If you have not seen a copy I re...

I started with "The Jazz Lines" last September !! Whaoo ! I felt I could play some jazz tunes at least !! I just got "Intro, Endings & Turnaround" and "Formula" It's just fun to reharmonize everything. I love the Source Code Collection.

It is now six months since I became a Bob Conti disciple. Have I learned much? Many things. Have I improved? Definitely Learning how to re arrange chord melodies via the Formula and chord /melody books has been a godsend. Not having a computer I get all the DVD's put onto my iPod and find this a g...

What to say that hasn't already been said about this DVD...? I loved every second of the six hour seminar. As soon as I got it in the mail I canceled all my plans and got ready for some heavy material. Although, it wasn't heavy in the sense of complicated work, it was rather valuable. After you buy ...

I wish to thank Mr. Conti for his work. He is excellent and his personality, explanations, enthusiasm, competence and teaching skills makes me really work hard in enjoying it. Thanks again. I believe The Formula is a must to have and eventually you could emphasize it on the web. I can fully enjoy th...

Please tell Robert he should get the Nobel Prize for these two works (The Formula & The Chord Melody Assembly Line). I used to teach at a Jazz Workshop and I thought I knew all about substitutions, but the way Robert thinks completely surpassed what I do. I will also do this on piano soon. Just Unb...

I just thought I'd let you know that the Formula DVDs are terrific. Seeing and listening are just so much better than reading for me. I'm ordering the Jazz Lines today.

After reading The Formula I knew not only were Mr. Conti got the chords from (in his Signature Chord Melody Arrangements series), but I can create chord melody by myself. If you told me this before, that I am able to this, after understanding the system, I would not believe it.
