I took a lesson from Ted in the early 80s. He lived in Studio City with his mom. He gave me enough info in half an hour to keep me busy for six months.
29:15 when he starts with "Autumn Leaves" in F# minor and then gets into a Bach thing at 31:11 that is Pure Magic and ends in D major. Then he explains how his fingers have a mind of their own. Priceless.
This guy makes the notes come alive, like every chord and interval is a character in a story that he's telling..."the C# wants to get in out of the cold"...what a great teacher.
Why is he so mesmerizing? Also shy, maybe, and truly humble. This is so interesting, and I am feeling relieved of some of the burden of approaching music from a too-academic vantage point. He is great.
Ted's mastery of both harmony and teaching all levels is legendary. I see a couple of comments from people who mistook his wonderful broad minded explanation of his approach to music as "hippy" talk. That is absolute nonsense; he was simply conveying his huge understanding of music as honestly and clearly as he could, and it had nothing to do with either social movements, anti-war activism or fashion, although I suspect he was, like every decent person in America during the 1960s, horrified, disgusted, and outraged by his nations' political leaders' genocidal assault on Vietnam and Cambodia.
Being anti-hippy in the first place only shows how ignorant a person is. Most of those people think a hippy is just someone who has long hair if they're a man and doesn't shave their armpits if they're a woman, and they all wear tie dye and go to Grateful Dead shows. Well _some_ hippies do that, but not all of them. To put it simply, a hippy is really just someone who wishes to live in harmony with the world around them. That's certainly a wiser approach to life than most people have, so how that's ever seen as a bad thing is beyond me.
I've got his book Chord Chemistry and there's a pic of him in the back looking a little like Tommy Chong minus the mustache and a few Gibsons without pickup covers. There's a lot of info in that book and I wish I'd put more time into it.
@@evetsnitram8866 As long as you're capable of both reading and guitar playing, why not get back to the book? Sounds to me like that is a direction you need to follow to please yourself. If you wish you'd done it earlier, won't you wish you'd done it now a few years from now, unless you actually do and can look back and enjoy the fact that you decided to enrich yourself?
Thanks to RUclips and those who download these gems we get to see Ted Greene who has passed away as other musical greats have and yet he and they are still teaching us. How lucky are we to be able to witness his genius for music theory and ability. Ken, Toronto
Erwin Win - in the second half, he focuses on proper fingering for "Smoke on the Water" and "Stairway to Heaven," then plays a fingerstyle version of "Hey, Hey, We're the Monkees" in the styles of Bach, Monk, Sorabji, Penderecki, and John Prine.
Thanks for posting ! Ted truly is the Boss of the Modern Guitar ! Together with Jamey Aebersold's ....Ted's book "Chord Chemistry" really did a lot of opening to my musical mind ( and still does till date)! God ! I sometimes suspect that Ted is not from Planet Earth ! - Max Respect ! with love from Nigeria!
For me, Ted's concepts and playing are just incredible. How anyone could know and understand music to this level is truly unbelievable. I love this guy and wish I would have had the opportunity to meet him and talk music and guitar. And, you can tell from the videos what a nice human being he was. RIP.
Agreed, his natural and good natured presentation style are a delight. We need teachers like this, who are able to convey their understanding in such an effective and unpretentious way.
Oh yes, and without intending, is one of the funniest cats I've ever seen anywhere....cave music, fights over a licentious third.... he's a calm riot of intellectual humor..... and plays all those difficult voicings whilst talking!
I've heard stories of Mr. Greene spending entire afternoons measuring strings for consistency in the Valley Arts store (prior to the fire). Eccentric individual that I wish I discovered a long time ago. Ultimately Luke turned me on to him which was part of that crew that hung was in that area. This is great. Thanks for the upload.
I am not sure about how accurate that is, but sure he may have had stricter standards than most...then again Eric Johnson has his own things too apparently
Thanks so much for uploading. Ted is incredible...he's talking all this, laughing, and then beneath that every single thing he plays sounds his own and beautiful. Very few people manage to balance knowledge and feel so well in any art. Incredible person. I'm in awe again.
Unsung Hero. His series of books - Chord Chemistry, Modern Jazz Voicings and especially Single Line Soloing, Vols 1 & 2 are great for any guitar student - not just 'Jazz'. Same thing w/ Mick Goodrick's ''The Advancing Guitarist".
@EgyptianMinor : "Not just jazz." That's so true. When I was in the midst of the S.F. Bay Area thrash metal scene in the 80's, his books were what most of my friends and I who also played music from many different genres were learning from. I still have 3 of his books from those days. In fact, one of his scale books is where I learned the Egyptian minor, lols.
Interesting just how versatile and sweet sounding a good Telecaster is. No wonder so many choose a Tele including Jeff Buckley. I`m sure the old pickups deliver tone where you can hear the characteristics of the guitar`s wood properties. Wow.... Leo Fender got many things right in the first instance.
Ted is one cool cat, daddy-O. His delivery, instruction, depth of knowledge and verbiage is smoother than a summer cherry in an evening rain shower. A dry sense of humor, brilliant and intelligent instruction. Hard to believe he was only 46 and possessed such wisdom and insight on subjects other than music.
It seems a lot of folks are complaining that this video's too long and boring. I find it quite the opposite. It's intriguing introspective, full of useful information, and I wish we could get to see the part after the break!
his voice is almost as soothing as his tone.. damn glad i discovered this.. first ted vid i ever watched.. im playing fractolian keys over the harmonic rainbow now.. god bless ted.. r.i.p. bro
This is not only one of the most amazing things I've ever seen, but one of the most beautiful. How in the world have I never heard of Ted Greene??? Good lord. Do you think guys like Jeff Buckley and Bill Frisell picked up anything from this guy .. sounds pretty obvious to me. This is just amazing. Thanks for putting this up.
While I was watching this my wife said, "what is that guy playing?". I said, "guitar". She said, "it sounds like Jeff Buckley". Well Ted taught at MI and Jeff Buckley went there. I'm sure Jeff was aware of Ted. My wife is cool.
Thank you so much for uploading this. I have Ted's books but there is no substitute for an hour of fretboard time with him. New Year's resolution: I'm going to be much more relaxed and THOUGHTFUL about my noodling.
What a brilliant freeform presentation, and what a beautiful soul. I was amazed at how often Ted's chordwork proved evocative e.g. the two chords at 43:36 instantly brought Midnight Oil's atmospheric opening of "Jimmy Sharman's Boxers" to mind.
So true. There are absolutely brilliant players out there who are absolutely terrible as teachers. Conversely, there are some who can teach really well, but aren't exactly brilliant players. Ted is both apparently.
A true master indeed. It truly saddens me that every time i discover theses amazing musical heroes, i keep finding out that most of them if not all have passed away before their time. Ted greene Ripeace......
i fel in love with this dude in about ten seconds,...well maybe a bit more, maybe 30 seconds. But Im serious, this dude is seriously funny, and sounds so awesome Im stunned. bak to the clinic, thanks so much for sharing it with us.
When I was a kid I started working through 2 of Ted's books: Chord Chemistry and Single Note Soloing. Some 40 years later I still dig these worn volumes out and learn something new. These books are classics and I recommend them to any guitarist.
It's interesting how Ted talks about the Minor ninth potentially one day becoming more common in music. When you look at modern heavy styles of music those types of disonnant intervals are found all over the place.
ted was the only guitar player that ive ever heard play bach and give it a deep bluesy feeling.. so much emotion in his hands.. such a cool guy and a great teacher.. ty for this post..
This is the first I am hearing of Ted Greene. What an amazing musician, his playing and knowledge is unlike anything I have ever head. I would have loved to take lessons from him.
I've read ted's book but THIS is something truly outstanding and shows his incredible feel/ear/knowledge/openness that music is all one thing....all of the notes can work if you feel them....thanks for the upload-truly mindblowing and inspiring!!! :) WOW!!!
This man has more knowledge than anyone on the planet. Astonishing that he can play, and free associate at the same time. Every Ted Greene video I’ve watched is jaw dropping.
Interesting how he says intervals played at 15:35 wouldn't see a lot of usage. Nowadays, metal bands like Meshuggah and The Contortionist use these frequently with great effect. It's crazy how music evolves!
I like this guy's vibes. One minute he's cracking up playing around with random minor 9ths, after that he kinda politely asks the students to join the conversation somehow, next thing you know he casually confuses himself with his ear whilst trying to play bach and teach at the same time and calls out his own mistake in the very moment saying "that's the wrong chord". 20 minutes in discovering this clinic and this guy's playing and i'm already a fan.
@@m.vonhollen6673 As a brazilian growing up with not much references for jazz guitar, and being born in the end of the 80s, I have never heard Ted Greene play until the moment I made this comment. Gotta say I'm definitely excited to check out the book!

How do I learn these kinds of chord shapes he's playing? Is the best way to just figure out the voicings on my own on the fretboard or should I use a book like Chord Chemistry?
use everything you can get your hands on! a great study is start with 2 note 'dyad' slide each tone / voice up or down one scale tone through entire scale, then do same with triads in all inversions, then tetrads four note chords, then try same using different string groupings as opposed to adjacent strings, whew a lifetime study right there
When playing keyboards, the "technical" triviality of things like Whiter Shade of Pale for some reason (stupidly) make it harder to appreciate the simple musical beauty. But when played on the guitar, it's just wonderful. (Or maybe it's just Ted Greene)
Did Ted Greeene ever play back ground music for 70's TV shows? Because some of this music sounds like something I've heard somewhere from the past like in an old movie or TV program.
MrGShocker, you've given away your age. What a shame all the great things you have missed. In this age of gymnastic shredders, the real guitar players are all but forgotten....

How could 15 people not like this video? Ted was among the top 5 players that have ever walked on this planet.
until he passed and somone else took the place
@@cypressdobro8759 pointless observation
He's like the Bob Ross of guitar playing.

You should check out Lenny Breau. He was a brilliant guitarist and tommy uses some of his techniques in his own music.
Damn, he really takes Autumn Leaves to a whole other level. AmAzing, I been a fan since the 80's and am still learning from his legacy.

A brilliant guitar lesson from a master ...
Ted just keeps dropping pennies from heaven his pockets are so full.
is there more lecture beyond the intermission?
thank you so much for posting this; what a great player/human he was
Ted was a genius. RIP.
It's all in the "intervals."
Great stuff!
his foot drives me nutz but he is among the greats. i watches this and other of his vids a thousand times over. boy is his talent and skill sorely missed.
He doesn’t sound nerdy but what he is saying is entertainingly intellectual - next level materials.
Does anyone know when and where this was recorded? Among the most beautiful of guitarists that ever played the thing.
I don't know when, but it's at MIT, Hollywood.
He says in the video he is 46. So that would be around 1992.
6th of June 1993, at Musicians Institute in Hollywood
Damn I just missed this. I graduated from MI in ‘91.
June 6th ?! That’s why Steve Vai could not make it...think about it ...
Great lesson, great teacher, great musician, great guy.
wow! Tom is soo cool I need more please part2 maybe? He looks like John Hurt
i would love to see the second part of this . what happens after the intermission ?
15:40 - KoRn made good use of that "spooky/dissonant" interval during the mid to late nineties.

This is not Ted's "A Session with the Stars" but a seminar at MI (GIT).
The chord master ! Science of chords taught by Ted Greene ...
How do I learn these kinds of chord shapes he's playing? Is the best way to just figure out the voicings on my own on the fretboard or should I use a book like Chord Chemistry?
use everything you can get your hands on! a great study is start with 2 note 'dyad' slide each tone / voice up or down one scale tone through entire scale, then do same with triads in all inversions, then tetrads four note chords, then try same using different string groupings as opposed to adjacent strings, whew a lifetime study right there
Is there a second part video since he took a break?
The “avoid note” is b9.
Only the tritone can support it.
So only Dominant 7th chords can contain the b9 interval.
Please correct me if that’s wrong.
"Obviously I'm free associating up here, I don't know how to live."
Goddamn it Ted I love you.
When playing keyboards, the "technical" triviality of things like Whiter Shade of Pale for some reason (stupidly) make it harder to appreciate the simple musical beauty. But when played on the guitar, it's just wonderful. (Or maybe it's just Ted Greene)

Whiter Shade of Pale is the song he’s talking about @20:30
Does anyone know what song he's playing at 42:35. right after he says "playing an F chord". Beautiful!!
I could listen to Ted all day long! :)
.... i can't see how anybody could "not like" this video! What's up with that?
Jealousy and shallowness!

is there a part two to this?
I have not seen it, I would assume so but it must not be easily available whereas this part of the clinic is readily available.

Is there a recording of the remainder of this clinic?
