No one played like Ted Greene…ever

man i find it so awesome that one of my favourite guitarists is referencing another guitar legend it's all love man

What IS thé chords progression You borrows to Ted Grenne, thanks a lot Tommy for your answer.

have that book. so lucky

I studied with Ted Greene for 4 years. Like Tommy says, for "Watch What Happens" two bars before the bridge , regular chord changes are EbM7 EM7 FM7 F#M7 heading to GM7, but what Ted does is EbM7 Ab7 Am7 D7, top notes are G Ab A Bb. Ted uses this chord change when he wants to modulate up to M3rd. Hope more people will know about Ted,

الان و با این توضیح فهمیدم چرا تد اینقدر نابغه بوده!

Ted is often referred to as a "great guitarist" ... he wasn't, and he didn't like to be referred to as a guitarist. He was a "guitar researcher" and playing the guitar was just a necessary part of that process.

what song is he breaking down?

Good grief

It came out around 71, awesome still have it. Tommy’s love and fascination for the instrument still shines thru. The learning goes on and on.

Circle of fifths 00:44

The Chords are (tell me if im wrong), Emaj7 (fifth on top), A7#9 (flat fifth on top), Abm7b5 add 6 (sixth on top), Eb9 (fifth on top) and the last one is a really big Gmaj7. You could also see it as a G power chord with a Bm triad on top ;)

my brother had an old copy of Ted's chord chemistry, I bought him a copy of The Lucifer Chorda & my bro said he preferred it coz, it was just as good but a lot less complicated, a lot easier to get in to!

Chord Chemistry is good, take a look at the V-System on TedGreen.com to really get a better understanding of the "Essential Chords" section of Chord Chemistry, I think that's the name of the section anyway. Take care.

Is there a pdf for the chords at 1:07? I can't find those chord names or make out them in slow mode.

This speaks a lot about T.E. human greatness, giving credit to T.G. who although a genius ,was and still is almost unknown out of guitar geeks community

Why did you stop it there? It was just getting very interesting! Well, ok, it already was interesting, but to stop it there is just wrong.

CHORD HELL

I just got the book yesterday. It mskes me want to cry.

Joe Pass took lessons from Ted Greene and Tommy has his book. Enough said

have Ted Greene Vol. 1 Jazz book.....from 1991. But, time flew from my fingers..........

Ted Greene was a human encyclopedia of music..R.I.P. Ted

Beyond comprehension how Tommy's brain processes notes, fingers, sounds ....

I used to own that book. I’ve had better luck understanding the click languages of Africa.

For TE to cite TED GREENE! Guitarists: you MUST seek out Ted's music!

Oh man, he was just getting to the other good parts...

Ted Greene was an absolutely brilliant guitarist. He is without a doubt my favorite of all time. A genius!!

Ha! Great comments from the camera man, check them out: 0:54 "Jesus, wow!" 1:17 "Good grief!"

boring...joe pass is better than ted green

ya, who the hell is Ted Green.... & do I need to wear a shirt like that to play like him ?

Nice tribute to an awesome guitarist.

This is exactly why we're not Ted…can't even hear it, much less play it... really miss him.

TED GREENE not Ted Green…ffs

The "spiced up circle of fifths" Tommy plays sounds like part of a Beach Boys song we all know. Any guesses???

Great. As always. I've ben lucky to see him live twice. He also plays "Saturday Night Shuffle" between Guitar Rag en Nine Pound Hammer

1:58 that's why I stopped learning this

Lateral thinking in chord construction. Brilliant!

Had that book since the later seventies,great reference material.TG was the absolute master on intervalic harmony

Thanks Andrew. Off to my stack of fakebooks to search for it. :0)

secret love

Great little section from Ted Greene for "Watch What Happens. Tommy goes on to mention ... "I've been playing a song called *COUGH* of Love all my life..." Does anyone know the name of this tune?? It would be appreciated... Thanks!

you are so right--mickey baker's book is a perfect place for someone who wants learn some great and very usuable jazz chord voicings and a bit on how to apply them...the single-note section is good too...i am currently working (really slowly) out of mickey bakers method part two, which focuses on counterpoint and really touch stretch voicings (as i like to call the, torture chords. ted greene took this to a whole other level. this is great stuff...

Watched that moment at 5.28 25 times in row and it still amazes me. How can you think of that ? Damn.

@swald175 Thanks for posting this, Tommy is a fantastic player, and I thank him for sharing his knowledge with all of us...and Ted Greene should be known by every single serious guitarist..! RIP Ted

I learned a lot from one of Ted's books of chord progressions. There were two volumes of those plus Chrod Chemistry. All great. Also, another great book when I was learning was "Mickey Baker's Complete Course in Jazz Guitar-A Modern Method in How-to-Play Jazz and Hot Guitar." Baker was a lot like Ted Greene but his books came out 20 years earlier in the 50s. Great stuff.

Ted Greene was a humble man; his work on chords is the tip of the iceberg which is harmonic possibilities. The Mendeleev of musical harmony is Allen Forte.

chord philosophy is to deep to understand by aspiring guitarist. i think by learning by hearing different kinds of music like jazz, blues, rock, etc. will help open their minds to topics such as this.

First time I heard this was a chap by the name of "Tomita" then 40 yeras later Only Tommy Emmanuel and it is amazing that a human can play that on six strings... Bravo ...Was it Debussy ? Dave Alberta

Hes a pervert! Everytime I get an eargasm...
