DVD Running Time: 1 Hour, 14 Minutes

Conti plays a pro level (more challenging than the Ticket To Improv series) solo over the chord changes to an in-demand jazz tune. Then, in his straight-forward approach, he teaches you to duplicate the entire solo, close-up, measure-by-measure, note-by-note. As documented by scores students in written testimonials, and their performance videos, you learn to play jazz, by playing jazz, not talking about modes or scales.

You must get the idea out of your head that you’re “just learning someone else’s solo.” When a child learns to speak, he/she emulates words that they have heard before. No one says to the child, “you’re just learning someone else’s words.” The child learns a word, then another word. The pattern continues until the child can speak in complete sentences (and without knowing the “theory” behind language.) As you develop your jazz vocabulary, you’ll soon reshape the ideas for applications over other tunes. These DVDs are for you if you’ve got serious chops, but don’t know what to do with them. If you practice modes and scales all the time, that’s what your solos will sound like – boring and uninteresting to say the least. Learn hip jazz lines, and have lots of fun doing it.

Robert, I thought it was time to tell you how much your efforts in guitar education are appreciated. I previously worked my way thru your series of Source Code books. I found them refreshing and unique, but struggled with, frankly, the nuances of a line, i.e., the way in which a line was presented...

Bob, I have to says Thanks again. I was going over your Corcovado solo in the Rio series to use in tonight's gig, but started getting burnt out. I was having trouble remembering the phrasing of bar 23 and 24, so I went back to the video. You were very motivating in your talk during these two bars, a...

I got the package yesterday and dove right into Corcovado with Robert's brilliant lines ... incredible! Much obliged! So far, easy going... I must be getting better ... WAVE, SATIN DOLL, BLUESETTE were excellent training for CORCOVADO.

Mr. Conti, I received my first DVD, "Corcovado", last Monday. I am very impressed with all aspects of the production. It goes without saying that the solo is extraordinary. My son, who is 14 and into metal, rock, etc. came home from a week vacation with his aunt. I asked him to listen to me play the...

Not only does this solo follow in the Conti tradition of taking key harmonic devices and twisting them around and connecting them in interesting ways, but also, at least at my stage in the process, it introduced me to several new devices, including two diminished ideas that will get a lot of mileage...
