@frwyguy All Robert is saying is that you can get to know your scales and theory through learning to physically play music first. Learn to get your fingers moving in a way to make great music and then figure out why it works. Is it so bad doing it the other way round?
And this is aimed at people who? have at least already got a basic fundamental grasp of theory anyway…can’t imagine many beginners wanting to attempt this!

You Fuck. Modes, scales, notes, positions, chords are all done in Guitar school. When you finish school, (5-8 years), then you? can open peoples vaults and get the most from them. the licks, chords, notes all overlay your knowledge of modes and scales. You are diong more damage than good. Teachers like you are why noone knows guitar anymore.

The title of the song is: “Death By Chops, Dis’ll Do It!”
It is? from Robert’s “Comin’ On Strong!” CD, recorded in 1990.

Wow! I came on here, did a search for Jazz Guitar and Mr. Conti came up. Absolutely amazing and exactly what I was hoping to? find. I immediately subscribed. Simply watching I picked up little nuances in his fingerings, right hand, etc. What an incredible talent.

@pw3db4lunch This is jazz played against a standard, warhorse tune like Cherokee. Robert’s superior improv skills give it new life. It is? a very mainstream sound except for what he does to it. Actually, you can’ t wrap
yourself around a definition, unless one gets very technical & boring. You are hearing a very unusual musician
playing his ass off and enjoying the challenge his talent laying itself before you. Your best bet is to listen & enjoy.

His bio is on wikipedia. Robert was born in Philadelphia in 1945. Why don’t you go and read about the man (and what he has done with his life) before you go and post stupid? shit, like calling him a mobster.
Dumbasses.
