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

I've only barely started, because piano is my main instrument. The material seems well organized, and I look forward to it.

Playing Chord Melody arrangements on the guitar is recognized as one of the highest measures of a guitarist’s proficiency. Over the years, this style has been covered by a vail of secrecy; however, this DVD removes the vail and shows you how to develop skills that will have you playing in the Chord...

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 now, I've struggled with chord melody playing. The Chord Melody Assembly Line...

All those chords and every one of them sounds right! I've learned so much from your approach that it's made a major difference in my chord melody playing- not to mention Source Code Two, which I continue to play through regularly. Now that I have the string/pick thing resolved (thanks to you!), I c...

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!

I've had a lot of instruction books and courses over my many years. The best? Yours (no doubt about it) and the old time-tested Mickey Baker vol. 1 book.

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...

I have used a wide range of materials and have not found one that pulls it all together like this. It is a book that provides the fundamentals in a way that a player can "get it under their hand" right away. The logical structure and flow of the book provides to the tools to enable a player to put t...

Last night I created a chord melody to "There Will Never Be Another You". It is very apparent that I need "The Formula" next. My plan is to run through the rest of the DVD and then create several chord melody arrangements of some of my favorite songs before moving on to the Formula. My goal is to be...
