I love you for this
Cheers. Some useful info in this vid.
for sure
Thanks for putting up this chrono chart - at just 8:58 he refers to line 5 section 3 - and it seems like that would be on P1 that reads em7 bb7 ebm7 , etc... and it SEEMS as those he's referring to the last half of the line - am I getting that in the right place there? thanks for any pointers -
thanks a lot
Ted Greene was a huge musical genius who understood the craft of rhythm, harmony and melody to the max!
God bless him
pleximanic Wow what a Beautiful comment..God bless I love you and Ted Green
only found ted recently. Probably heard his name tossed around in the past but never looked into him. Wow is this man a wealth of knowledge and a showcase in humility and professionalism. Working through his harmony book now and already bought my first tele haha. Now to stop procrastinating and practice!
That chord progression at 1:13 is one of the most beautiful progressions I've ever heard. I love how fresh all of these chords in Ted's vocabulary sound.
This man was born to transfer his passion and knowledge to others.
He brings a sense of peace, calm, discipline and grace to every sentence and lesson...so grateful for this kind of content. His approach to chords should be a required stage in the education of any guitarist.
Absolutely.
Kinda calm and easy going yet a truly inspired and amazing musician. Willingly helping others become better at what they love. A little like Bob Ross !
Ted is proof that there's a higher power. Logos. His playing is transcendental.
Ted was one of the nicest people I met when I first arrived in Hollywood in '66....a few years later he showed me a trick to play Milestones, and a week later while heavily consumed with Oliver Nelson, Bill Evens, and others, I returned to show him how it helped me play Stolen Moments. Little known popularly, I can tell you he was one of the world's Music Masters, who, like myself, chose the Guitar as his Poison.
Absolute genius. Ted Greene was always nice and patient enough to explain his other worldly playing and comprehension of music to us mere mortals. R.I.P. Ted. I bought chord chemistry when I was 23 years old. I'm 42 and still you blow my mind. Proof that there's some higher order to our existence. Would have loved to met you. So much ❤Ted. So much
His book chord chemistry is a miracle on chords and harmony!
"Chord Catastrophe" 😆
@@docwill184 😁
9:26 is so amazing. from a simple outline he kept adding more and more details and colors to transform it into something totally fleshed out.
I love Ted Greene.
What would I have done, have become, if not for the great Ted Greene?
Wonderful lesson from a guitar master, many thanks for your upload
ted green was everybody , joe , wes , george , lenny . chet , absolute genious
You want to hear his true influence go to George VanEps
Simply mind-blowing. Ted is certainly at an amazing shape in this video! My deepest gratitude for sharing this video.
Incredible knowledge.
Thanks a BILLION. Just discovered Ted, and I am floored. Really inspiring, I was so sad when I had to learn he is no longer with us, if your reading this Ted, RIP buddy, I'm sure hanging with Bach, and other giants is somewhat of a silver lining, only wish we could hear the music.
This is phenomenal! Thank you for sharing a young Ted moving quickly through many topics. I studied with him in 1984-85 but have never seen this video.
What did you learn most from Ted?
Finger hand plucking clearly outlines a guitarist of 'note'. I love the individual style of Ted with his playing hand - shaking a note/chord. I've never seen that in any other guitarist. That is a 'Greenism'. I love that he plays a Fender. Ted had a brilliant and pure musical mind. He also had the ability to play with feeling and interpretation. And then, Ted left a teaching legacy for all to marvel, learn and enjoy.
And Guilds
Ted Baker tuition/masterclasses to me, by far, superior to all the rest of tuition videos I've ever encountered. This is largely down to the rich density of technical material, its overwhelmingly comprehensiveness in practicality, and the clear, logical and sincere manner in his delivery of very complex musical concepts. Moreover, his personal extensive research in the field of jazz theory & harmony and its application to guitar has really helped elevate him to the club of guitar elites and premier music educator. ALWAYS MISSED.
So much good stuff, but my head hit the table when he said at the end he hoped to do a "more advanced" class in the future. Also revelation that his favorite music was by the film score composer Max Steiner. Had to check that out. Thanks for the vids. What a genius Ted Greene was.
The Steve Jobs in the world of guitar. He definitely taught us to "Think Different" in order to play differently.
That man is actually green...!
damn you beat me to it. I was gonna say, "Ted's GREEN!"
because he is the HULK of guitar
Ha ha ha good sense of humor!!! 😀
Haha! so funny!
I found an awesome used jazz harmony chord progression book by Ted, today at powell's books in Portland, Or. I've never heard of this guy, but I really liked the way the chords are printed in the book. It's incredibly dense, but I think it's one of the best chord books I've ever owned! Thanks Ted! i'll continue to look for your lessons and recommend your amazing skills.
This is one of the greatest videos I have ever seen. Thank you so much for posting it. Ted was a giant.
I am reading His biog by Barbara Franklyn and it gives and amazing insight into Teds mind and life.He is so amazing and when i look at this amazing video i just wanna cry and give him a big hug..I have only recently got into Teds playing but i am a fan, oh boy, i am a fan..R.I.P Ted
A D E7 A was so impressive, what a perfect way to demonstrate the immense value of studying harmony and learning voicings.
12-yrs after 😉, this is still one of the better Ted Greene videos. Somehow more understandable. Chord 'Catastrophe' (Ted's own appellation) is like a George Van Epps instructional that, for many of us, will never be understood with mastery.
'Modern Jazz Progressions' was apparently written to reign in the excesses of 'Chord Chemistry.'
Behind his glasses and mild-mannered delivery Ted was a monster.
I don't know how I missed this for so long. This is a a treasure, invaluable to anyone with an interest in Americana. Thank You.
To say he was brilliant is a ji-normus understatement. Going to watch this a few times---hopefully I can pickup a few kernels to improve my chops. I'm not a religious person---but god bless you Ted. What a gift you were to humanity & music
This is pure gold.
This is beyond my guitarist pay grade. I'm not a jazz man but really appreciate the absolute genius here. Where are nice guys like Ted now?!
Still here !
PURE GOLD. Thank you!!!
I'm always met with happiness when listening to and seeing the absolute mastery in this legend. So peaceful and knowledgable. The best teacher documented... I never knew Mr Greene, but boy does my heart drop knowing he is no longer here to share his knowledge, nor is my chance to meet him. He drives me and many others to achieve our guitar goals! Im speechless to describe the greatness of this man.
This is a goldmine!
Simply amazing.
Such subtle genius and mastery of the instrument. I'm an average enough player that he loses me sometimes, but it's lots of fun to try to keep up.
So immensely helpful! Playing the piano myself (no guitar) I was always unsatisfied with the chord progression resources available for piano. In most literature there is quite a limited amount of actual voicings laid out. For example you are presented with 7th chords in first, second, third inversion, but are not really told which notes to leave away in which circumstances, or in the context of a certain chord progression. In other cases, you simply get chord symbols without a single word about the proposed voicing. Basically, you're expected to apply the theoretical knowledge yourself and creating a voicing on-the-fly (which then typically results in using the same voicings over and over again, which might be the reason why many jazz pianists do sound more or less the same with regards to tonal material).
So with Ted Greene's work and his books I finally found the treasure trove I was always looking for! I'm now starting to work through 'Modern Chord Progressions'. Granted, it is a bit of a challenge to translate the given fretboard notation into actual notes / staff notation, but I guess I'll accept that, having in mind how much I would miss out if I surrendered.
I'm wondering whether other non-guitarists practised with his resources and books in the way I plan to do. In case someone is reading, it would be super interesting if you could share some insights you gathered from that process!
Thanks for posting vid and the link. When I was young I was fascinated with the Chord Chemistry book. It was not easy to find back then BCE, before computer era! I never did find a hard copy of the progressions book. I found it many years later online. What a great player and educator he was! I wouldn't be the player I am without his insights.
I just wanna thank you for the videos. I just found Ted Greene yesterday and I can’t believe it.
This is Gold.
Just met a bass player who played with Joe Pass in the old days, told me that once after a killer performance that received a standing ovation, Joe told him that he "couldn't get anythin going." The bassist objected, saying "what you talking abou, you were killin it out there." Joe said these immortal words, "tell you the truth, the more I play this music (jazz), the more I realize how much I don't know." The bassist then told me "and that's one of the greatest reward and greatest curse of this art form - you'll never reach the finish line."
stealthy123 Absolutely. Any musician who doesn't realise that they're a perpetual/lifelong student is just kidding themselves.
This is a goldmine. Thank you SO much for sharing a masterclass with this genius for us.
Yep!This is exactly what I was looking for.Last night I watched a 1993 clinic at MI and was very disappointed because it was very hard to see what was going on and the students didn't interact much at all,even though Ted was longing for questions.
Thanks a lot
Hi, Sorry, the box website wasn't working for my intent of sharing the handout sheets.
Instead you can go to the tedgreene,com website and request the file. See this thread in their Forums: General topics / Session with the Stars. Go to post #16. I got my files from Paul.
What a genius of guitar player ! The master of chords.
wow thanks for this upload and thanks to the people that made the workbook available..I love you guys
Somebody get this man a music stand!
Brilliant lesson!
loved this. was able to deepen a lot of exercises I had developed already, thanks ted and thanks for posting!
What a gem!!
The rhythm chording he falls into at about 19:00 just kills me. I could listen to it all day.
Ted's like a good prof of gtr. R.I.P. Ted.
Amazing lesson from Ted! (Thanks for the upload)
got chord chemisty , realized I need to apply for disabilty .. scary genius wish he taught me!
Took lessons for 6 years with him. Not nearly enough since they were only once a month.
Man, thank you for sharing this. He moves through each of the concepts so effortlessly, but you know how much time it takes to get fluent in any one of them. Beautiful stuff.
TED estaba a otro nivel.gracias por compartir el video
Go to tedgreene.com It is a site put together by a combination of family, friends, and former students. There you will find transcripts of Ted's arrangements and supplemental tutorial information from his former students. The site is a priceless resource intent on keeping Ted's legacy alive. Enjoy!!
Wonderful!
Amazed... following this with handout sheets from tedgreene.com... GOLDMINE of information! Big thanks!
So incredible. Everyone here should go to his website and donate to keep his legacy going, they offer hundreds of lessons and transcriptions for FREE! On a side note, he always gave me a Bill Murray vibe which makes Ted even more awesome.
Hey, thanks a lot for that. It is appreciated. I managed to find it through the Ted Greene Forums, but this will be a good direct link for anyone else that would like to have the pdf files to follow along with this great seminar.
31:14 Using the 2 finger chord method over a diatonic structure was really a cool tip.
Ok, Ted Green fan, We are hooked, any more vids my Mr. Green that was awesome. Thank you for posting this gem.
Go to TedGreene.com for all things Ted. Also, do a RUclips search and you'll find many more videos of Ted - lessons, seminars, parties, etc.
Man...
Just looked at the PDF..
I bought 'Modern chord progressions' decades ago...Lost.
I'm looking at it again. 12/125.15. It's giving me a need 'jolt' of interest in guitar.
Again...Kudos.
thank you...
as great as they always said. Makes it 'approachable;...
I have a lot to learn. That felt like drinking from a fire hydrant.
Great video. Ted just blares through the examples one after another. Thanks for uploading.
It would be great to have the sheets/booklet he handed out. I'll try going to the website as you suggested to see if they're available. Thanks for the upload!
I JUST learned of this guy .. damn!
WHO THE FUCK WOULD DISLIKE THIS SHIT?
Such a true loss to the world of guitar and music overall. RIP Ted.
TED GREENE IS A POCKET JAZZ ORCHESTRA!
4:40 Ted's guitar neck looks like a standing wave of wear centered at the 6th fret and extending to the 12th and 3rd frets.
even if he wasn't a master musician, which he is, I'd still love Ted for being a Tele on neck pickup guy like me.
9:00 is where the genius really kicks in.
Yes, and when his playing leaves "normal humans can play this" territory. It makes me smile.
Nice, Thanks for this
Amazing.
Thanks!
thanks a lot!
who doesn’t love the chord chemist?
Maestro!
Progression 8 is insanely cool!
9:20 pure magic
42.02 - Thanks for keeping to the basics Ted. I'll need to trade up the brainpower by a few thousand revs just for this lot!
Fabulous
Lastly, after watching this, it appears he gives lessons like a paint by numbers set. He just shows you how to fill in all the empty spaces.
What kind of a person can possibly dislike this video?
Nikos Dellaportas , only idiots, of which we have many. Think of this: rap is now "America's music," the most popular stuff there is. God help us. But then, I've found it's just about useless to try to teach people taste.
Those who ae jealous and I know they cannot in the years play like Ted Green
Nikos there are lots of Charlie's out there who disliked
@@bobtaylor170 I can honestly say without rap/ hip hop i would never have started listening to Jazz and eventually start playing the guitar.
@@Ayo.Ajisafe Since nearly all modern music, even modern blues, has its roots in jazz, you should have gotten back to Jazz no matter what music you were listening to.
Thank you so very much.
I am trying to get the color flicker out,, and I hope I can.
I hear it but can´t believe it!
Playing jazz on a tele... Now that's cool!
43:41 Ted is about to reveal his absolut favorite musician and i cant hear what he saying. Can anyone help me put?
He said,
"Probably at the top of all of it - just for me, and this may seem a little odd - but my favorite music of all [time] is film music. That touches me the most; moves me the most. And probably my favorite composer of all that stuff is a man named Max Steiner."
That's what I'm hearing. Hope this answers your question.
You can see how toasted his fretboard is from all the chords he’s played on that guitar even with the quality video.
Thank you so much for posting this great video! It's even not on Mr.Greenes' memorial site. Do you have any other tapes of the great man that are hard to come by? If yes, please, keep on the great job posting them here.
cheers man :)
thx
my head exploded.
RUclips barely shows me this!? Probably because the algorithm knew I would quit playing music if I saw this too early in my development.
8:10 Nice to see where David Gilmore got his chops from!
Notice he's playing this guitar in a video 30 years later.
0:45 we are all that guy.
THE GOD
