Robert Conti and Howard Morgen books to find

**Jonah** · 04-23-2026, 04:50 AM

Hi Dear Friends,

I need to find two books of Robert Conti The Chord Melody Assembly and The Formula and Howard Morgen's 10 from guitar man

We are checking some stuff with a friend who starts with jazz and I wanted to use some things from these books ( I had them years ago and know the stuff)

But both seem to be out of print.

Conti's website offer pdf but as a result it shows 'out of stock' . How can a pdf be out of stock I do not know (I need pdf only but if it is a bundle I can purchase all of course)

And Howard Morgen's book is also out of sales

I am ready to buy used or pdf, or whatever, I could donate Robert directly or Howard's family if there is an option to do it if there is a possibilty to get copies some other way - to me it is always important to support teachers and players

thank you

Indeed, thank you

But I need The Formula anyway, I need it more actually, the material like in Chord Assembly Line I can more or less put together myself quite quickly

10 from Guitar Player will be hard to find, but this book that came out later has some of the same articles, and more:

Jonah, you're correct, the video streaming/PDF option cannot be out of stock in that it is a non-physical product. We sold out of the physical product for the moment, and the out of stock message you received was due to an inventory flag that accidentally got applied to that virtual version of The Formula. My apologies for the inconvenience, and thank you for your patronage. -Ben, Web Admin

Robert Conti even sells guitars on his website - haven't heard anything about them -- Conti Guitars Archives • RobertConti.com
