Tim Lerch - Ted Greene's Blues in G
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 12 сен 2024
- My humble attempt to demonstrate some of Ted's incredible chord passages. From a sheet he wrote in 1978 that can be found at www.TedGreene.com in the lesson section under Blues/Jazz its about half way down the page and is called "Blues in G and Bb".
I hope this is helpful and if you like it please consider donating to the TedGreene.com site to help keep it up and healthy Thanks
Hi Tim.
Just a quick comment to thank you for these lessons and for keeping Ted's music alive.
The website is brilliant and i was astounded at the generosity of all the students that have contributed in creating all this free material.
You're a brilliant player and keep up the good work, it really is appreciated. Thanks again!
Tim just want to say thanks. I have downloaded Teds chord sheets and scratched my head in puzzlement! Its only after watching this vid does it all fit into place. I'm a watch listen and learn man, and this has been a revelation. tks.
Hi Tim, 10 years after posting this, I came upon it. Really helpful. Thank you so much for sharing. Cheers!
GREAT LESSON!!!! THANK YOU VERY MUCH TED AND TIM!!!!!
Great Tim. That is a wonderful way of keeping Ted Greene`s legacy alive spreading the information as he did all his life and keeps doing through initiatives like yours and the beautiful work of the people that work on ted`s site which is the greatest reservoir of harmony for guitar in the planet. All the Best
many thanks for the stuff you are sharing here ! i have had a few lessons with Ted in the 70's and i have the fondest memories and to this day benefit from his ideas and teachings ! more, please !
Thank you for doing these videos. This is exactly the kind of chord passages I have been wanting to learn to apply to my blues playing. Thanks again!
@mediocreplayer Hi thanks glad you like my stuff, a good place to start would be right here with this one. on the other vid with the Tux I'm doing a slightly simpler thing but the idea is to support a blues simple melody above, while the chords move on each beat. I'm currently working on a video course that will cover this . stay tuned, it shouldn't be too long. But check out Ted's stuff, you can't go wrong with Ted!
Thanks for posting this stuff. I’ve been looking for a study like this. You did a great job with too.
Nice lesson thanks for the upload. There is such a wealth of material in almost any 8 bars of any TG blues composition. This one in particular - there almost seems a subtle feeling of TGs love for baroque , Bach etc
I really like watching you and hearing you play the guitar!
It's a real pleasure to see your face while playing, so much joy and so much expression, it's nice to see.
And then the playing... AWESOME!!
Keep up the good balls.
Tim,
Thank you for taking the time and energy to put out the music and information that you do it is not only helpful but greatly encouraging. Say hello to Stowell for me next time you see him.
Steve, gladesguitars.
hommage a ted greene .deep; smart et clear. bravo Mr Lerch .salutation from Ireland-Réunion.
You’re such a great player! Loving these videos
Thanks for this Tim, the harmonic breakdown is exactly what I was looking for. It helps understand the mechanics of this style. Thanks again!
Thanks for this, great to see your explanations and the sheet music coming to life in video demos!
Great tone and an inspiration to dig into that Ted Greene chart and learn this thing.
Sweet!
Thanks for putting this up - I'm really looking forward to having a go at this one.
Your playing was super and your theory knowledge is something I only aspire to.
Great sound, great feel! Tim Lerch is one of the reigning 'masters of the telecaster.' He's able to play in many diverse jazz/blues styles and keep his own identity. Thanks for keeping the legacy of Ted Greene alive. (What type of pickups are these? Lollar Charlie Christians?)
That sucks - the guy didn't even respond to you
Great job man! I wish i would have you as teacher. U nailed down exactly what was Ted's intention: write something to start with and make it useful for your own puropose. I think i do like from Ted is the ability to play indipently the bass line and make the melody work swiflty through the voicings...so naturally! i'm working on it and i assure you guys it will take a lot of time! and i'm not sure i'm gonna make it ;)
Well now I gotta learn this. Thank you, Tim.
You could always watch it a few times, that's what I did.
Thanks, Tim.
A wonderfull lesson, from a wonderfull Musician!!!
Wow. I have been had music theory since childhood and this jazz theory is making my head explode. Awesome. First time I ever heard of a companion minor.
Hi Tim,
I've really enjoyed your Ted Greene Blues progressions which has inspired me to search for Ted Greene videos. I just bought "Chord Chemistry" and have just started on it.
it's great to hear Ted's stuff in video as it gives us further inspiration from his printed pages. While I find some of Ted's voicings difficult to play, this blues page is more accessible as you say.
Not intentionally a comedy bit but when my girlfriend watched it she ran screaming from the room with her hands over her ears as soon as I started naming the chords and functions. oh well guitar geeks like me are into this stuff. I might consider this as a funny thing maybe a jazzy blues with the lyrics just the names of the chords and their functions!
thanks for watching
I do same with wife, her reaction is a good looking same. But I do it cause talking thru it helps me understand and remember..
there are more of us theory nerds out here, i love the beauty of the mathematics as well as having an idea where these awseome jazz chords come from, not to mention that these interesting notes are the same ones you look for in solo line playing...
Very cool! Man you you are a fantastic player and teacher!
Yeah!!
Great Tim and great Ted!!
This is really great! Thank you so much!!
Tim....once again thanks a lot for this lesson. I have printed Ted Greene's page but wouldn't have a clue how it would sound without your playing....(and also the B flat blues on the same page). I'm working through it but on an acoustic 45 year old Yamaha 160 so the action isn't as easy as on a Fender Strat as you will appreciate. Nevertheless it's getting better thanks to you. Much appreciated from a Spanish mountain.
(Back in the UK I have a Gibson Les Paul Custom with a Fender reverb amp (valve)....so I'm hoping it will sound better on that when I get back!!).
As the person below me, gorgeous was the first thing that came to mind. Will try to learn this piece and it's voicings, the flow is really difficult to get right for me, It really helps to have the bass line in your head
To the ppl search the tab on TedGreene.com, try "Blues Progressions - Key of G & Bb" in Blues section, not "Blues in G"
@dziepiejazz Yep, I'm going to do the Bb one next. should be up in a week or so.
These 3 CC pickups on your Tele have a beautiful sound, awesome.
It's a pleasure watching you play all these difficult cords, you really make it sound so bluesy, great feeling too. In the past I've hot-rodded a Fender 50's Reissue Telecaster with 3 Gibson P90's (after some serious routing work in the body) + hardtail Strat bridge + 7 sounds via push pull volume pot + out of phase middle pickup via push pull tone pot, a great blues axe, but these Lollar CC pickups sound better than Gibson P90's.
Gorgeous !
Great playing. The embellished version at 4:31 takes skill. I like the simplified version, if you can call it that, at 3:56
Great playing,great tone,great guitar,great explanation...I wasn't aware of that "minor companion" thing.I should research about that,ha.I'm a big Ted Green fan,and I think that you make a great job playing his stuff.I think there's a version of stella by starlight in his webpage that's just insane.Could you play that?His chord mastery just blows my mind...Greetings from Peru!
@johnnymurray100
nope it's still there. it's a smaller size and they call it the BS but it's the same as the CC.
Awesome Tim!
If there was ever a time for a "jazzy blues with the lyrics just the names of the chords and their functions!" then now is the time! are you (or any of your followers) up for the challenge?????
@telebasher
Awesome. I've been working on the Blues in G but it's tough to get a feel for the Blues in Bb without hearing it.
BTW, The blues in G is tough, but it's surprisingly do-able if you keep at it. I've found that although I can't play it at speed yet, there are some great ideas in there that I'm already using. I love the sound of the III VI II V rather than a typical I VI II V.
Thanks for doing this.
What are you playing at the very beginning? It's all great, but the bit you played while introducing the video was great!! What is it??
Good call. I think I prefer the first piece over Ted Green's.
Ah men this is beautifull! :-) Thanks a lot m8.
hi
i ve bought cc lollar and BS too on my tele
the sound is fantastic so thanx for your videos that decide me to buy it
i am looking for an OD that doesn't altere my tone, i saw you playing on the ethos
i think it's super, can you tell me if it does compress the sound cause i don't want compression at all, it isn't easy to hear on youtube
thanx a lot tim, great videos

@Realfi Its there!, they call it the BS now but it's there.
Oh ok, I thought I was seeing polepieces not the blade. How have you liked it?
Great stuff, thank you. Is it possible to play the blues in Bb also?
@gromit64 hey i love music theroy, live for it, it is the foundation for mankind gimme more!
@gromit64 no comedy or vomiting here, just awesome stuff! :)
No Lollar CC in the bridge anymore?
Awesome well done! Thanks for keeping Ted's music alive. Thought you might like this arrangement of a bunch of Ted's Blues from Ted which includes this one that you just played:
zenguitarguy.bandcamp.com/track/blues-for-ted
Is this a comedy bit? The laying out of the chords was a vomiting of music theory.
It's really nice playing, and a funny exposition of how complicated the theory can be in a lovely piece of music.
I'm not ragging on you, though. I'm on your side. Nice work.
hi tim.
did you take out the CC bridge pup?
Great job man! I wish i would have you as teacher. U nailed down exactly what was Ted's intention: write something to start with and make it useful for your own puropose. I think i do like from Ted is the ability to play indipently the bass line and make the melody work swiflty through the voicings...so naturally! i'm working on it and i assure you guys it will take a lot of time! and i'm not sure i'm gonna make it ;)
