Description

Overview Video

New to arranging chord melody? The Chord Melody Assembly Line book/DVD will get you started immediately.  As most are aware, Robert Conti is well known for his ability as a soloist who can confidently step in front a rhythm section and peel paint off the walls at ridiculous tempos, with total authority.  However, in addition to his reputation as a bop player, Robert Conti is also well documented as a highly successful solo jazz guitarist. An exquisite sound and a repertoire over three thousand songs keeps him in demand for numerous “high end” private functions in Las Vegas and Los Angeles. His stellar credentials also include a ten year engagement in a luxurious Southern California hotel.

From Lesson One, you’ll discover how easy it is to actually start assembling a working collection of chord melody arrangements of your favorite songs. In addition to learning the “assembly line” protocol, Conti takes it a step further and walks you through three complete songs.

If you’re ready to learn the art of solo guitar, this DVD is your opportunity to learn from a working Pro, who actually performs nearly every night of the week. Don’t settle for anything less than this level of quality instruction from a bona fide Pro.

We are frequently asked the difference between The Formula and The Chord Melody Assembly Line.  Simply stated, if you’re just starting out with wanting to create chord melodies from a lead sheet or fake book, start with this product, then move onto The Formula which thoroughly covers Robert’s approach to advanced reharmonization.

Chord Melody Assembly Line Includes:

  • Full size 8.5″ x 11″ Booklet
  • 4 Hour DVD
  • Easy to read chord grids

Hi I found Robert Conti’s DVD/book ChordMelody Assembly Line is exactly what I wanted all along and just stumbled upon it. I could talk about it at length it is so perfect - plenty of work but the effort is well rewarded, and my playing and understanding has grown dramatically as a result of his boo...

Hi folks, Not a question but just wanted to pass on my sincere thanks to Robert and colleagues. I've just completed the Assembly Line course and have not worked on something on the guitar with such enthusiasm since I discovered the humble A minor pentatonic. The course was fantastic and has got me t...

Thank you so much for your instructional materials! Started taking jazz lessons in Philadelphia in 1957, but detoured into rock, folk, blues. You've got me back to a love of the notes a chord makes, and reduced a mountain of theory into a Whitman's Sampler of tasty steps. May God bless you!

After many years of little progress in learning to play in this style, my admiration of Conti's playing led me to order "The Chord Melody Assembly Line," and it's been a game-changer for me. The initial lesson quickly showed me how even a simple melody can be richly harmonized, and this early succes...

Thank you for what appears to be another great year or so of learning and refining coming up. I believe it was around May 2011 when I first received the Chord Melody Assembly Line and The Formula (and the rest of the Source Code series). So, after about a year and a half of regular (and delightful...

Robert, Ann in your organization was kind enough to help me choose the Chord Melody Assembly Line about a year ago. Just wanted you to know that I am now playing about once a month in front of our church congregation. Last Sunday evening I played There is Just Something About That Name, as a chord s...

The Chord Melody Assembly Line has opened up the world of chord melody playing for me. I'm a not-so-gifted amateur and playing guitar is my primary form of relaxation. As a physician, I'm too busy for formal lessons. Until this book and DVD, I'd struggled with chord melody playing. The Chord Melody ...

My wife asked me: "Was it worth the money?" I said: "Yes, if I knew before, what big connections the Chord Melody Assembly Line would provide for me, I would have payed 10 times more, because I can play chord melody from one moment to the other. I understood the system at once, even I still don`t ...

Robert, I have just ordered the CMAL and cant wait to get a hold of it! I have just pretty much finished 'Since I Fell For You' and am starting on 'God Bless The Child' and it looks like the learning curve is flattening very quickly now. With the basic skills and this wonderful aid to quickly assemb...
