That said, regarding your suggestion, he has produced a Source Code Book/Video title entirely dedicated to creating Intros, Endings and Turnarounds to the chord melody arrangements. As you've noted, Robert's arrangements are pro level, and ready to play on any gig. More specifically, the very broad scope of each of the aforementioned playing skills requires a singular focus, thereby rendering the notion of a 'complete method for jazz guitar' as marketing hyperbole.


Improvising, Technique, Comping, Chord Melody etc. Hi Brian, thanks for your latest review! As you're aware from your previous comments about the Conti resources you've ordered, Robert dedicates an entire product toward each facet of playing jazz, i.e. Robert wants you to land a big fish…tonight at the gig. Handing someone a scale book or a list or arpeggios to learn is like handing someone a fishing pole and walking off without telling them to thrown the line in the water. The most important impact of the lesson though, was that Robert has helped me integrate and focus all of the skills and knowledge I’ve developed over the years into a direction that will allow me to improvise lines easily.

By focusing me on Green Dolphin Street, he answered this question and gave me some wonderful homework.

During the analysis of those pages, he answered the question I had not asked, which was how do I apply the Etudes from The Precision Technique and the few lines I learned in the Jazz Lines to a song. Within the first 15 minutes, Robert watched me play and asked a few questions, and then had his tech email me three pages, which we spent the remainder of the lesson on. I’ve watched hours of the DVDs and it was a privilege to be able to personally converse, for two hours. What I learned in my first lesson with Robert is that he is as energetic and friendly as he is in his DVDs.
