Yea if the jazz media did a better job guys like Ted wouldn’t be so under-recognized. It’s all about media acting like sheep and going for low hanging fruit. There are others out there on all instruments that are revolutionary but they don’t release enough content to be noticed by press.
A real personable guy--approachable. I purchased one of his instruction books back in the 80's and had questions about technique so I wrote him a letter with my question. Do you know he wrote me back--a handwritten letter explaining things and encouraging me.
Chords, keys, and modes… here’s an intro: If you take the notes of any major scale, say C major, those notes are 1-2-3-3-5-6-7 and CDEFGAB. Now if you build a chord off of each of those root notes, you do it by “stacking 3rds” (usually) and you get this: CEGB = Cmaj7 = Ionian mode DFAC = Dmin7 = Dorian mode EGBD = Emin7 = Phrygian mode FACE = Fmaj7 = Lydian mode GBDF = G7= Mixolydian mode ACEG = Amin7 = Aolian mode BDFA = Bmin7b5 = Locrian mode So 7 chords in any major key, and each one of those chords has a scale/mode that goes with it. If you temporarily forget that all 7 of these modes are just C major but with a different starting note, and analyzed each mode as if it was by itself (and in it’s own key) then you’d have 7 new scales and each with a different sound and formula from the parent major scale. So Ionian is major, Lydian is like major but with #4, and Mixolydian is like major but with b7. Those are the “formulas” and sounds of those modes. Now Dorian is the simplest minor mode because it just has b3 (which is what makes it minor) and b7. Aolian has b3-b6-b7 (it’s also called the Natural Minor scale). Phrygian also has b2 as well as b3-b6-b7, so b2-b3-b6-b7 is it’s formula and it is also called “Spanish minor” because of that b2 sound. There’s only one chord with b5, which makes it either diminished or half-diminished (which is what it is in this case due to b7 instead of double-flat 7). It’s formula is b2-b3-b5-b6-b7, so Locrian is like Phrygian but also with that nasty b5. I jokingly say “nasty” because it’s the one chord in the key which is neither major nor minor. You must know the names of the 7 chords in every key, as well as their accompanying modes and their formulas. MEMORIZED! (I just did this from memory, and you can also do this if you wish.)
@jriverrun Thank you again. I've messaged it to myself. Wishing you and those you care for a great Christmas🎅 or Hannukah ✡ (or both! Hannumas!) and a great new year 🍾🥂🎆
I sat in this seminar at MI and it was one of the most amazing musical experiences of my entire life, listening to him talking and making all those beautiful sounds with just a Tele an a Fender Twin and some shaking of his hand. Thanks for putting this up!
You lucky lucky person, to experience an audience with Mr.Greene. He was a troubled but beautiful soul whose understanding of harmony and the guitar will never be surpassed. Having read his book and seeing many videos like this, I feel so sad that he isn't alive today, so you, Mr.Patrick are so very lucky to witness him. I'm glad you had a great experience and have something to remember for the rest of your life.
Very beautiful, sweet, gentle, melancholy, funny. I bet his neighbours lived with their ears pressed to the wall and their windows open all year round. Thanks for posting x
The way he talks makes me not only comfortable, but also kind of confident of myself. I don’t know how to put it. You know even with the feeling of sadness and loneliness you don’t feel lost with him.
when you have both steve vai and tommy emmanuel referencing you, you know you are a guitar god. thank you Ted Greene for gracing this earth for what seems like a brief moment. truly, thank you.
Dude casually played Whiter Shade of Pale by memory and not knowing the chords beforehand and it's probably the nicest version of the song for guitar we have on RUclips
@@jarrilaurila ted was a genius and it was a walk in the park, but he's probably not a bach expert, (like ton koopman) although ted probably knew and understood all the rules of counterpoint. 23:34 paraphrasing: 'this style is more like a neo-baroque thing. i'm not capable of authentic counterpoint because for instance i use to many parallel fifths.' true counterpoint is very difficult, especially to improvise in, but if he would have put his mind to it, i'm sure he would have been able to at some point, but that wasn't in his interest apparently.
I could not be more delighted than to have run across this. Ted Greene was quirky brilliant and full of unconventional thoughts. Best of all though was his incredible ear, and musical dexterity. Just amazing.
Such a true loss to the world of guitar and music overall. RIP Ted. There's something magical in Ted's performances in this seminar. I could be having the worst day of my life, or feeling anxious, etc, and if I just listen to him play the various tunes in this video, I feel like I'm totally at peace in minutes. Just an amazing gift he had!
This was one of the most insightful guitar workshops I've ever watched. One thing that was kinda funny was that little head nod he does with every vibrato lol, still ted Greene an OG for this
What Ted Greene didn't know about guitar was - and is still is - simply not worth knowing ... thank you for this magnificent upload! An authentic genius! Almost certainly the greatest single lesson on guitar and harmony on the entire web.... This is the first time I've seen the whole video. Really, thank you so much!
i thought you meant the guitar isn't worth knowing, that's what Ted didn't know... lol... his knowing of the guitar is incredible. so is the humility that he uses with his students. but he knew the guitar TOO well, if there is such a problem, he had it. the great thing about him relative to Joe pass, though is that he remained Human sounding in his playing, even though he was thinking he was thinking his way through it.. he still was able to be expressive.
@@objectivitycave11 I think Joe was also a genius, but you had a point about the human thing.. he was regimented. He was almost a slave to the beat - almost too disciplined in that respect
I purchased Chord Chemistry 45 years or so ago .. I'm still working very hard to comprehend his information in that book .. I learned sooo much about chord shapes, Inversions, 3rds and 5ths as roots etc .. but it was his lecture narratives that are far beyond the universe .. Frank Zappa and Allen Holdsworth led me into the composing and playing techniques that advanced me to find my sounds and voicings .. thank you for this upload of the genius
aw, my dear Ted! Justin, do you know that I made a dvd/cd of Ted and I playing together...a rare thing for Ted to play with a singer. :) My website talks about it..."Never Forgotten"
@@Cathomatic1 Hi Cathy. Just wanted to say...I don't even know how to say it but...Ted's solo on Kansas city Blues is one of the best solos..no, It's actually the best solo I've ever heard over a blues with a guitar. I've seen that video like a million times. It's like a hidden jewel on youtube. At the end when you start singing your last note, the Eb high pedal, what he plays with you it's just pure magic. I just wanted to ask. Was that end improvised? (of course It was but I still need a confirmation haha! ) As you said "a rare thing for ted", anytime I listen to that end I cannot stop thinking how unreal his comping was and I wish he would've done more. Anyways thank you, Cathy. That's one of my favorites videos on youtube.
Mr Greene was introduced here by my good friend Kirk Smart. He made possible that seminary. Kirk talks to me many times about this great and underrated musician. I love his style, his beautiful warm tone, the groove, what a player!!! I wish more guitarists knew Mr Ted Greene.
simply and truly amazing!!! that's just what I was looking for! Thanks so much for uploading. What a cool cat this guy. Marvellous touch, ear, feel and an amazing view on harmony. Love it!
@@astravert Ted Greene, besides being one phenomenal guitarist and musician, was also one of the first to publish educational material for guitarists who were searching for something above and beyond what was generally available. I was in my mid teens when I discovered his books Chord Chemistry and Modern Chord Progressions. Forever in his debt. I'm still getting use out of those books 45 years later!
This is outstanding!!! I have read Ted's chord chemistry book but had no idea of his COMPLETE understanding and feel for music!!! This is one of the best examples of oneness with harmony and tone i have ever seen....thank you sp much for the upload- i am blown away, humbled and inspired all at once!! WOW!!! :)
thanks justin, i've been cooking with the first clinic for the last few years. sitting down for the second half now, time to talk about this harmonic rainbow
If you are old enough, and you missed a chance at taking lessons from this genius, Ya missed out, like I did. People who invoke TG, Are not TG. The guy that told me to buy his book, though an awesome & accomplished musician. was no TG. He takes the shortest, most intelligent, clearest path to helping you understand music, This is a rare example of a man who is 1 of the few big cats, who is so good , he has no ego. A pure musician, R.I.P TG, AND THANX. and thanx to u JC
Had his Chord Books & Record for all these years but never had the good fortune to attend a seminar from this great Master of the Guitar. It is so meaningful to post this for us - Thank You.
Thank you so much for sharing ! I feel very lucky to have access to Ted Greene and his wonderful playing! :) . The tone he creates with his Telecaster and Fender amp is ethereal! Awesome explanations without being too complex which I appreciate 😊
Pure genius, thanks so much for posting this 2nd half of the seminar! I've always wondered if this existed somewhere.....Ted was (and is) the greatest.
this was the most enjoyable seminar I have ever attended! - hahahah - the music was just fantastic and his humble, gentle style was very comforting and inviting - thank you - I would not have been inspire to go down this rabbit hole without a discussion on a Friend's post praising Ted Greene - and I would have missed a stellar performance by him within the course of this seminar. I didn't know, but now I know!!! 🙂 keeping this on file 🙂 - so saddened to learn he passed and passed so young - he was truly amazing!
Such a great scholar of the guitar and music history. I'm lucky to have had teachers that were like him. Milo Petersen, Stephen Boswell, Oliver Gannon, Nick Oschefski (My grandfather)Thank you!!
IS that the Oliver Gannon from Vancouver, BC. (or played many times in Vancouver)? My uncle Jack Fulton played with Oliver for a number of years from Toronto to Winnipeg to Vancouver.
@@eastonpeter1242 Yes indeed. I grew up just up the road about a mile from Crescent Beach. That's really interesting about your Uncle Jack! I think I bought "Chord Chemistry" Ted's book upon Oliver's recommendation! lol
Thank you very much for posting this! Much of what Ted says can be over my head/understanding but I really enjoy listening to him talk and play. After watching this, I can definitely see why so many people held him in such high regard. Not just as an educator/teacher but as a really amicable person. He just seems like a wonderful person to be around and just hang out and talk about music or play.
This guy is so amazing and inspiring to listen to. I've only seen short clips of his lectures in the past but even they were filled with so much quality content. Thanks so much for posting.
I'm heartbroken and elated to have only stumbled into Ted Greene's world ( and what a beautiful world it is)2 days ago. The depth and breadth of his knowledge is astounding! Paired with the love and warmth with which he allows that knowledge to come through his playing has in 2 short days changed the way I think about the instrument. Ted will be on heavy rotation for the rest of my days. I hope to learn many beautiful things from these precious recordings in the years to come.
Thanks for posting this. It’s a gem of a vid. Ted Greene was an inspiration to so many guitarists. I am 3 years late to this vid. I have been studying Ted’s books for a few years now.. watching this vid brings his books to life.
Love me some Ted Greene. Been stealing a lot of the chords and ideas he throws in as demonstrations. At 36:32, it is WILD he can grab that chord so easily. I tried and man my hand is killing me after a few times grabbing it, and he's smiling through it. What a legend, RIP.
Amazing. It is magical how some of the examples in his books sounded so dissonant to me back when the books came out. Now, after 50 years of study & playing they sound so normal.
Good Video I'm glad to get to see. Thanks for posting. It's good to see someone with a positive outlook who can kind of wing things on the fly. A lot of teachers teach by the seat of their pants, which you can do with tons of experience, but you run the risk of going off into territory that's hard to explain.
auuuuuuuuu. what a maestro......i m not gonna touch my guitar for a month after this. Its incredibille than after we have musicians from heaven,people still decide to listen sheheran rihanna ecc.............ted forever
This is my third time watching this, mostly just to hear those etherial guitar tones, especially with the artificial harmonics. Heavenly good clean sound
Ted Greene low-key funny as shit
The Stephen Wright of guitar teachers...
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️Genius!
😊Finally, an actual “TED” talk.
Underrated comment. 😄
True, this is the real TED talk!
A TED talk worth listening to twice!
LOL FR
NICE! The original-yes LOL!
One of the most underrated guitarists in history..
probably the most underrated would be one you hadn't heard of, but of the famous guitarists I'd agree.
@Elhesh I found him this week, Most interesting new guitarist finds in months... Absolute amazing musician.. I am absorbing so much...
Yea if the jazz media did a better job guys like Ted wouldn’t be so under-recognized. It’s all about media acting like sheep and going for low hanging fruit. There are others out there on all instruments that are revolutionary but they don’t release enough content to be noticed by press.
Agree. Why this happened?
It’s not that Mr. Greene is under rated, It’s more that Ted is a MUSICIAN and not trying to be known or famous or any such nonsense !!
Brilliant. He feels like the Bob Ross of guitar.
Perfect analogy.
I was just gonna say this, then I saw your comment :P what a cool guy
He was much better than Bob Ross 🙂
@@2009framat Yes! Ross was a hack who pretended to be a painter.

Appreciated by Shawn Lane, too!
John McLaughlin and Steve Morse said something like that they were in awe of Greene when they heard him play.
This video should be on every musical education curriculum forever.
"My Life With The Chord Chemist" by Barbara Franklin, a wonderful memoir of the wonderful Ted Greene.

13 mins in and i need a break from the waterfall of knowledge. I then see the real track duration and realize this one is a lifer
He and Frisell have an incredible touch and chord encyclopedia!
Frisell is not even close to him(in terms of chordal knowledge and voicings). to be honest, sorry
@@толячубайс-п3п However Frisell is a creator, instantly recognizable. A different quality and world class.
What a treasure. This is absolutely spellbinding

Ted is probably still giving this seminar---in Heaven. I can's wait to sign-up.
Not just in a guitar perspective but in terms of general music, this is such an important documentary.
Holy shit, thank you for this! The high level of his genius is very clear in this extended, free associative presentation.

I have several of his books, and they are just chock full of impossible and impossibly beautiful chords.
thank u so much for uploading!
Amazing. It is magical how some of the examples in his books sounded so dissonant to me back when the books came out. Now, after 50 years of study & playing they sound so normal.
Good Video I'm glad to get to see. Thanks for posting. It's good to see someone
with a positive outlook who can kind of wing things on the fly. A lot of teachers teach by the seat of their pants, which you can do with tons of experience, but you run the risk of going off into territory that's hard to explain.
Ted Greene, one of the best......THK for uploading this video man. god bless!
Going to listen to this again and write down every word.
auuuuuuuuu. what a maestro......i m not gonna touch my guitar for a month after this. Its incredibille than after we have musicians from heaven,people still decide to listen sheheran rihanna ecc.............ted forever
Man this is amazing!
I’ve tried for years to be fluid with those chord harmonics he does , it’s mind bending how he does it so easily , A genius
Thank you, Justin, for posting. This is a friggin' TREASURE... RIP Ted Greene.
a true music man
This guy is a guitar hero - yet unknown by most guitarists.....
Yes - THIS is a true Guitar Hero (even though I am loathe to use the term). Very very VERY few are in his league
This is my third time watching this, mostly just to hear those etherial guitar tones, especially with the artificial harmonics.
Heavenly good clean sound
Can't thank you enough for posting this
Brilliant! FG
looking for this for about a year after i saw this high on LSD playing guitar.
Happy to be back.
To me,it always seemed that Ted is so well known because he was the real deal, he could really play, he was also a remarkably good teacher
