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 ā€œMotherlode!ā€ How? By teaching you exactly how to start playing an arsenal of lines over the chord progressions to three ā€œmust knowā€ 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.

  • 12 Bar Blues
  • All Blues
  • Watermelon Man
  • Bonus Jam over a Conti original, “The Rummy!”

Ticket To Improv, Volume 3 Includes:

  • Printable PDF of lesson solos in notation & tablature

I posted elsewhere that I tried learning jazz guitar about 12 years ago, but gave up due to lack of time. I got several of the Conti DVDs, but barely got started. Now that I am retired with plenty of time, I plan to get started again with the Conti DVDs. What I like about them is it gets you playing...

Never had time to learn guitar until now. So I bought the improv series (and the Conti guitar) about 6 months ago. It was a little tough at the begining. But like the man says "it's not rocket science.." Thank you Mr. Conti.. All it takes is a will to learn, and a lot of practice. It is a little eas...

As a 57 yr old player for over 45 yrs, my guitar playing was STUCK in the middle of the 1970's rock era...PERIOD. While I absolutely love the chord melody style of playing I increasingly assumed it was completely out of my reach. I was so tired of the 1st position rock chords, I had simply reduced m...

There's an easy way to do anything. What you need is someone else who truly understands what's going on, and tells you first what you NEED to know, and not EVERYTHING you could know all at once. As we all know, Bob excels at this. I don't know how paint is made, but I still manage to do a good job p...

As seen in the title the origin of this (as with most Conti DVDs) was one of requests. On the opening of this volume Robert talks of how he got "bucket loads of requests" for a blues DVD and so here it is. I loved this volume. .. tasty blues in a jazz tradition. I particularly like the formatting th...

I agree, it is an amazing turn of the tables. I always explain it like this; learning jazz by studying theory is like putting a jigsaw puzzle together by measuring the radii of the pieces. Clearly the preferred way is to just look at the picture. Learning to PLAY jazz first is similar to just lookin...

Impeccable teaching! Bob Conti should be Secretary of Music Education. I now understand the method to his madness. Intstead of playing scaled, play scale fragments organized in what becomes or "is" jazz. When strung together and played tastefully, this is what listeners will identify as "Oh shoot!!!...

Starting on the "Watermelon Man" solo from TTI volume 3. Going back to "Precision Technique" and playing things faster and cleaner than I used to. About time, right? Geez, I think I've been a sucky / sloppy guitar player for longer than anyone ever has who actually got good. (And I'm actually gettin...

YouTube’s free lessons are fragments — designed to keep you watching, never quite getting there.
This is different.
One complete solo over A-Train, full length video and transcription included. Robert’s goal is your progress, not your attention.
