Description

Overview Video

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 am progressing well with the previous material that I have ordered. This is the first educational material that I have had the enthusiasm to persevere with - it's brilliant. I have a new lease on life, musically speaking!

I just read the first ten pages are full of great concepts and it will take time to assimilate and internalise them... I love your approach! It will be a great journey exploring the rest of the Formula!! Grazie Robert!

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.

I just wanted to mention that over Christmas I figured out half a dozen different Christmas carols and songs based purely on what I learned from The Formula. Last year I could never have done it. White Christmas for instance instead of stock C major, D minor 7, C diminished or whatever I play someth...

Four months ago I was still playing simple chords - now I'm playing What a Wonderful World and Georgia - I've not only impressed myself, but my friends are all wondering where I learned these cool chord arrangements. Don't worry - I've told them all about you and this w...

Looking forward to understanding your reharmonization techniques and building up my own stylistic arrangements,need help to get beyond current thinking. Also need to understand how to back up a singer like Tony Bennett when chord melody playing is not always required. What do you do?

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.
