"I'm Ted Greene, i'll just noodle away at these complex voicings while you all chat away"...."Anyone care to share what you're working on?" (while i field questions and play my complex jazz harmonies and counterpoint at the same time?).....Love ya Ted !
Thank you SO much for sharing Ted's seminars, lessons, and live videos with the world! Best teacher ever! BTW-- Steve Vai turned me on to Ted's CHORD CHEMISTRY book (via his website). I'm SO glad people are keeping Ted's mission alive. I wish I knew about Ted 35 years ago. I'm just so grateful these lessons are available now. :) Thank you so much!
I was lucky to discover Teds books long ago, almost as long ago as I discovered Steve Vai (about 86' and 83' respectively). To this day I can still pull out any one of the three books I own and learn something completely knew to me. The wealth of knowledge in just one of those books is incredible.
thank you so much for posting this and all off Ted's clips, they are just terrific and theraputic as we begin recovering from the recent disasters in Japan. sincerely, cliff in tokyo
has he ever bent the strings? coz i've seen none of his playing that do some kind of bending or such stuff His style is so original and not mainstream *sorry if my english is bad
Anyone here ever start trying to put together a song and within the progression you find a good change but it doesn't quite scratch the itch and you just feel like something else should be there even though what you have is decent??...?? I feel like if Ted green was there in those moments you could have a sit down with him for about 30 minutes he would figure out what that Harmony was that would scratch the itch. A chrd chemist and Harmony therapist for those searching for a new change.
He left us what imo have always been the best guitar instruction books. Proud to say I still have the 3 I purchased in the late 80's. That's not even close to the same thing I know, but those books did a lot for me and many of my friends too.
does anyone know what those chords for the turn around were? when he was playing the Em11 voicing then he went up the fretboard but he didn't explain the last few chords. Is he just playing 4minor away from each dominant chord?
He was gone just 2 months after this video was recorded. Life is so short.....RIP one of the greats.
I was there...dude knows EVERYTHING about harmony
I'd feel damned proud if I knew 1/10 of what Ted knew about harmony.
Ted Greene: a TRUE Guitar God! His music changed my life! Thank you and RIP Maestro!

That smile on Ted's face says it all, doesn't it? The joy of discovery, and sharing what he's learned. I wish I could have met him.
Ted's playing is so profound , just think he is still teachin us to listen and hear . Thank you for posting ...all his videos are always amazing

Guitar playing literally doesn’t get any hipper than this 😎❤️
God bless Ted Greene for opening up the infinite realms of musical possibility,thank you.
What a brain this man possessed !!! I might not know what makes someone a genius but Ted was one!!!
A GENIUS AND A CLASS ACT, R.I.P TG

The greatest teacher imo
This is the greatest thing on earth ..
could listen to him all day. spread the word guitar teachers please!!
I love me some Ted Greene. His solo guitar release is one of my main CDs to kick back with.

His hand written lessons are so complex. Glad I still have copys. I need another lifetime to learn them all lol
You are so lucky to have had lessons with him then. I am struggling with a tinge of jealousy now, lols.
If you’d be willing to share any I’d love to see!
Damn, he died 2 months after this. RIP Greene
Star Wars Episode III: Revenge Of The Sith was released two days after this lesson.
what a genial and genuine guy he was .... thanks SOOOO much for sharing this- it's priceless !!!!!
In the presence of the master.

*sorry if my english is bad
Wow! Thanks for sharing this! What an awesome teacher. He's tossing stuff off like it's nothing but I learned so much from this short time.
Thanks for posting! Ted had such great tone and knowledge. Really amazing. This guitar is sounding!
Great video!
I love the "making up new chords for songs" joke, at 4:38. Thanks for posting!
Kind regards,
Pedro
He was something you couldn't put your finger on. Delightful unpredictable creativity. He was the main guy but Van Eps and Pass had their place too.

“Feel free to treat it pretty casual....because that’s how it’s gonna be.” I love this guy.
Ted is a smooth yet on the far outside/ operator of heavy machinery
brilliant
Ted Greene's chords always sound great. Imagine what they sound like to him especially since he knows exactly what he's doing.
is it realy possible to learn so much?
So good this! Thank you for upload. What model is that ES he's got?
Check out guitar George, he knows all the chords! :)
Ohs, I guess _check out guitar Ted, he knows all the chords_ wasn't as good lyrically. Mark must've had one of his chord books, lols.
Any money says Ted knew more chords than George.
man he died two months after this. wish I could have studied with him. such a master

I was there !!!! Sean Mark Bakeldi asked f***king first question, I remember. haahahaha
This must have been one of the last ones as Ted unfortunately passed on 25-Jul-2005...
Was this class just a couple of months before Ted’s passing away?
Guitar model?
This is during open counseling? The guy who asked his sound like Jean Marc?
That went by too quick! And then you ended it with him saying, “sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn’t.”. lol
was that Mimi Fox that walked in the room?
Maybe Beth Marlis?
and maybe we'll sneak in the iv of the iv.....
And Belkadi asks the first question!
