- Here is part two, the continuation and conclusion of this guitar lesson where Ted Greene is applying chords to the jazz standard “All The Things You Are”. Part two, Ted continues with approach chords … and then introduces some very cool 4th chords. Video Credits: Cesar Pineda 04/06/98
A fellow musician at a party says to George Van Eps ”Are you into 4th chords? They are the coming thing!” George replies “I didn’t know they even left!” 4th chords were very predominant in 1950’s jazz.
Tuning Note: Remember from part one, Ted is tuned down one whole step …. relatively speaking! In this video, now you can actually tune ‘down’ your guitar with Ted’s at 8:00 in this video (highly recommended).
Here’s a brief summary for part two:
1. Progression reviewed.
2. Approach chord qualities.
3. The differences between parallel motion, similar motion, and contrary motion.
4. Diatonic chord scales (chords built in 3rd intervals).
5. Diatonic 4th chord scales (chords built in 4th intervals), sometimes over a bass pedal tone.
Ted mentions 3rd stacks in this video. You can explore this further by visiting tedgreene.com/
Addendum: I am quoting from Just Jazz Guitar magazine, May 2001, page 97 (which is quoting from Ron Forbes-Roberts biography on Lenny Breau, who is quoting Lenny's teacher and friend Bob Erlendson) "Lenny played the seminal "Kind of Blue" until "the needle turned the record white," absorbing the elements of the style ... This led Lenny into a study of quartal harmony, chords built on fourths, used to comp behind modal soloing. As Bob points out, because a guitar is tuned in fourths, quartal harmony is easy to apply to the instrument. "He worked on three-note chords built on fourths, moving them around the neck as he climbed through the modes and finding where it was necessary to add a major third to change the type of chord it was."
Thank you Nick. Even though these videos doesn't get a lot of views, it sure changes the life of the few who watches. At least mine changed
As long as it reaches the right few! Quality vs. quantity! Come back for more ... and there is more to come!
Ted was a living encyclopedia of music...
A true genius!
Can't thank you enough for sharing this Nick!
I Had a hand Full Lessons with Ted in the 90s and it changed my life
Cesar, thankyou so very much for letting us in on these lessons! and thanks Nick for upping them, and thanks Ted for being Ted.
The way Ted explains here is the holy grail for me in many ways, chord scales, minor seventh “land” and how they are the little brothers (softer) of the minors (sad and dark). This content should be a must in music education.
He's so kind, patient, and soft-spoken.
Never knew him persoally but...oh, I miss him! The guitar world does! Thank you very much for sharing!
You're welcome!
Wow! A lesson from Ted Green. Thank you man.
Since being a piano player(only last 10 years, 3-5 years more serious)before a guitarist(still) it is amazing how this guy is able(while even not being on this earth any more physically) still is able to while seeing this let me practice like never before, His words: "all piano layers love this..."and there, something I almost never practiced, now I see how easy it may look in C his 4th chords try them in any other key and the opposite will show itself...Thank You Ted Greene! I know somehow this will come to you!!!
In a lesson with a beginner I would never say anything but half step above into the next chord. Itss a basic resolution. Simple description. Ted taught us all this.
Hi John, I saw you on another video a few years back reviewing an Evans amp. Ted recommended this amp to me upon hearing that Ed Bickert was using one. I have a AE100 which I love. I took music copying and harmony lessons from George Heussenstamm. Are you related?
@@nickstasinos Hi Nick, thanks for the contact. Yes, George Heussenstamm is my uncle and I'm very much in contact with him. He's still going strong. The Evans amps are excellent for jazz. Cheers
Thank you, so much for posting these videos ❤❤❤
You are welcome! Please subcribe if you haven't already. That way you will be notified when I post more .... and there is more!
@@nickstasinos I am subscribed and and can't wait to see more! I can learn from these videos for the rest of my life. As someone who was to young to have ever gotten to meet Ted these are truly a gift
Thanks so much for sharing, Nick. Keep the Ted vids coming.
Subbed.. with a capital S- thanks for these!
Great upload! I LOVE TED GREENE!
14:25 "How do I convey this to you man?"...yep, I didn't understand either mate!! Ted is definitely many levels up there!!
It's cool to see a master of the guitar struggle with patience. He seems like the nicest dude but even he had off days.
14 years into teaching guitar, bass and drums, I'm relieved to see giant like him having tough days.
"We're not giving it a name right now" 😆
always amazed at his playing but I got to say how does anyone ever learn everything that he explains and actually be able to apply it it just boggles my mind how fluid it comes from him...
You've got to already know the language to understand what he's saying. If this student knew intervals he would've got a lot more out of this.
is this D'Angelico?
Another way to describe those “fourth” chords is by calling them quartal voicings (or quartal harmony). Probably a more common description (at least in the internet world - not sure about the gigging world).
Literally two seconds after I wrote this I got to where Ted says the same thing 🤦🏻
Trying to mix it up with 6th diminshed, there is nowhere someone on youtube doing that in lesson form, so I'm going to teach myself, there is no other option...I did that befor teaching myself on classical guitar playing polyphonic guitar baroque style, the strange thing is that jazz brought me more in that direction, even Coltrane, I recently found out that Ted Greene did that also...I studied many WK I & II and went realy far in classical playing and improvisation, what iwith all respect, I see that Ted Greene was more a Jazz player, who with so great knowledge of voicngs, that he was able to play polyphonic, but form of classical pieces is hard to find in his improvisations, there more like, never eniding polyphonic conversations, I think that wasn't alos is goal...I had a friend who was gifted with the natural talent of classicaL IMPROVISATION. hE EVENsaid that improvising in the style of Bach, when you would write it down while sounding good that getting the same consciousness out of it, like Bach did , is hard to expect that of an improvisation...When classical-barque improvising, form and cadenza's to end hrases and end tonallitie's are important when you want to sound more like a piece, that is written...also contrast is important and knowing form in greater sense the beginning of your Main key what keys you go and ho to come back so Trilogy in your improvisation, and most important make a nice edning if you have all those ingredients, the lsitener will recognise immideately and subconsciously at leats resemblance with the baroque style, when you forget those things, it is hard for the listener...Sill I see what I could have learned from Ted Greene is still a tremendous loT!!!!
