This clip already has a bit of history here on RUclips:
- In 2008, @clubsandwedge was the first man on the scene and uploaded the first hour of the seminar. These were the early days of RUclips when the video length was limited to 10 minutes, so this was uploaded in 6 parts: • Ted Greene 1993 GIT Se...
- In 2011, @GetBackToNowhere re-assembled the parts, now that the limit had been lifted, and uploaded the first hour under the title “Ted Greene Clinic”. This is still the video with by far the most views: • Ted Greene Clinic
- In 2020, @astravert recovered the complete two-hour video tape, and the seminar finally surfaced in its glorious entirety (except for the first 17 seconds of noodling). Unfortunately, the audio and video were out of sync from the old VHS-tape, which made particularly the second hour painful to watch: • Ted Greene - Rare FULL...
- In 2021, @gurayozcana improved the sound quality and painstakingly rescued the synchronization: • Ted Greene - Rare FULL...
- This present video is the complete and synchronized version, with the volume re-adjusted, the colors adjusted, and the first 17 seconds of noodling added back in. The transcription and subtitles are currently works in progress.
** Notice the angelic light over Ted Greene: Although it looks like 90s camera technology, this is actually the holy aura that tends to glow around guitar gods! \m/ \m/
R.I.P., Ted Greene (1946-2005)
This is the best Ted Talk creation gave mankind...
Thank you God.
Man ted greene's soothing voice as he played beautiful music with a haunting tone is so relaxing
Ted was a master among masters that day.
He was such a kind soul always teaching the secrets of his playing to people.
After hearing this I won't ever play a single string solo again, just chord voicings...wonderful Ted.
Thank you for sharing - Ted is greatly missed - Cheers - John
Thank you for the kind words, John! =)
Unbelievably beautiful playing, Teds way of coming up with chords and movement is great!
His tone is angelic and Ted’s humble and lovingkind nature are in harmony with the entire room.
That's some expressive wording
To quote so many musicians- if a solo doesn’t tell you a story, whats the point. So many can shred on the guitar on demos and recordings- which if any do you recall? Unless it told a story. Whether it is Lester Young on shoe shine boy, or Van halen on Beat It, or the beautiful intro of “Thugz Mansion “with Michael Herring. Long list- and of course Ted. Its story telling. Thanks Ted- and thanks for the uploading.
Ted is awesome. I hadn't heard of him until a reference from Scott Henderson. His sense of humor is on key for sure.
On key: I get it!
Just taking a sec to notice he has the nicest clean sound 😮the sustain and clarity is like heroin to me ears.
Magnificent
perhaps because I've been listening to his meanderings on chords for more than half an hour...
I actually got excited by what he played at 37:10 😱🤫😵💫
That's why he's the GOAT!
So "spiritual" or angelic I want to say ... But that implies attributes to Ted's playing that I don't mean. It is just so great as to be other worldly. But of course it is not --- but there are frequent moments when he makes a sequence of voicings that are just pure and so sonorous as to transport me into another realm of reality.
Don't worry! - with Ted Greene, I cannot help myself slipping into religious language either :P
29:00 autumn leaves
He was preparing for a Cronenberg movie, like Crash. lol
bach at 20:20 procul harum
Meh. Mediocre.

Wow to me this is amazing.
What a witless remark.
Your comment speaks volumes to what you know.
