The Precision Technique

much easier than before. I will never play as fast as Robert Conti, but this course has definitely improved my chops. The exercises have become part of my daily warm-up and practice routines.

xperienced shredders skill set. Robert wants us to be able to bar fast melodies cleanly and sync up our right and left hand perfectly and I'm all for it. Cant wait to dive in further.

coordination in my right hand as well as my sense of timing. I anticipate within a year I will completely regain my loss ability thanks to these exercises. No matter what level of skill and ability you currently command you will greatly benefit from this study. Conti talks at great length about the benefits of using the 0.38 Jim Dunlop picks. I can certainly attest to the fact that it is a difficult transition. However if you are willing to spend the ten to twenty days to make the adjustment you will be glad you did and you will never look back, trust me. Conti also talks at length about concentrating on “the snap of the pick.” I recently read an article where another instructor discusses “the bounce of the pick.” He compares it to the bounce of the stick when a drummer strikes the drum. Thinking of it in these terms help drive the point home and give me greater focus on my picking problems. I hope this share will benefit others having problems in this area. Thanks again Bob, you are The Socrates of Swing!!!

te jazz guitar players. Later on I started to buy records from Wes Montgomery, Martin Taylor and Kenny Burrel, and later on also Mike Stern and Bireli Lagrene. Few weeks ago I saw Bireli Lagrene playing in Paris and coming weekend I will see him again playing at a fstival in France. Just wanted to say that since I heard you for the first time (on You Tube) a few weeks ago, I am listening to you several times a day; you are truly an amazing jazz guitarist; the way you combine musicality with an incredible virtuoso speed of playing (which I sofar only saw with Bireli Lagrene and Joe Pass) is just superb.Best regards,Jos Vesters

from teachers. I actually quit playing 20 yrs. ago out of frustration, I was playing in a popular country band for years but always was interested in Jazz and could never find a teacher or book that unlocked the secrets, with Robert's materials I now have a new outlook and feel as though playing jazz is actually within reach in the not too distant future. I can say this is the best and most detailed discussion I have ever seen on right hand technique and Robert makes logical conclusions to solving old problems. Most courses or teachers hold back the mystic secrets and only give up enough to keep you coming back, Robert gives you all you need and then some!!! I hope to someday have the pleasure of meeting Mr. Conti, just by watching his videos for so many hours makes me feel as though he's a regular kinda guy deep down and truly wants to help us mere mortals in guitar land. Someday I hope to purchase one of his guitars as well.

the mail I opened the package and as soon as I saw the two picks taped to the cover I immediately threw the picks away before I even opened the book. I thought they were just some sort of gimmicky advertisement for a manufacturer that you endorsed. I couldn't imagine anyone actually using the things. When I put in the DVD and saw that you were serious about them I had to dig them out of the garbage. I made a serious effort to learn to use them and was surprised that they work so well. In the long-run don't think they are for me but the have caused me to re-look at my own technique. Many years ago I switched to holding the pick very, very loosely and this accomplishes much of what you get with the light pick and I think it gives a better tone but, never the less I am impressed. Keep up the great work.
