Description

The time-tested and acknowledged pathway to become a skilled improvisor is to play your instrument at every jam session or other opportunity that becomes available. That’s exactly how the early greats learned their craft, simply by playing jazz, not wasting time talking about modes, scales or unimportant activities that prevented them from actually playing their instruments. As seen in 25 prior DVDs, the core success of the Robert Conti approach is his ability to teach the jazz language (improv) at the street level, where it actually began.

If you’re an entry level jazz guitarist such as a blues or rock player trying to make the crossover to jazz, Ticket To Improv will take you on one of most exciting and productive musical events of your life. Very soon, you will be impressing your friends with your new playing skills.

As in each of his learning products, once again, Conti delivers another “Motherlode!” How? By teaching you exactly how to start playing an arsenal of lines over the chord progressions to three “must know” tunes that are played in every real life jam session. More importantly, after you learn the first three tunes, he will also teach you how to quickly begin reshaping those lines for usage in other tunes.

I've been playing for a long time and have a decent knowledge of harmony, but jazz improv always seemed like something unachievable. Until (almost by accident) I found Mr. Conti's lessons. He truly reveals the secrets of the greats. An awesome educator with a unique approach.

I''m 61 (yep) and play in a jazz combo. I do pretty well playing and reading changes which works fine because I'm the only rhythm instrument. Soloing? Even after all these years/decades, I struggle in spite of owning just about every jazz guitar instruction book there is. I mean, really. So, I commi...

I have completed all of Robert's free online lessons and I have just learned his improv for 'Take The A Train.' I have to say that I think I love him! I have been learning classical guitar for 6 years and will take my final grade exam in October. To pass each grade exam you have to learn many scales...

Hi Bob, I met you in '98 when you were working the hotel lobby (I think Marriott) in LA. You were fantastic and very kindly took the time to speak with me about guitar. I have since taken it up. Thanks for the inspiration. I'm glad you're still doing it!! Thanks, Gale

At the ripe old age of 66 I've only just discovered Robert's ASTOUNDING playing (both technically brilliant and beautiful on the ear - the best I've ever heard!) and have ordered two of the products and am likely to order more.

This is a great DVD. I've been trying to learn jazz guitar and have spent a lot of money and time studying scales and modes. Although my knowledge of music theory has developed, my soloing sounded bad. My teacher would say use "D Dorian here" - solo still sounded bad. I didn't have the language / li...
