"Knowledge and experience are truly a substitute for great talent." TED. TEDDDDDD. Dropping massive knowledge bombs in casual instructional conversation. Yes.
These are priceless lessons. I was blessed to have been aware of Ted’s books Chord Chemistry, and Solo Guitar, through a brilliant teacher I studied with from age 10 to 18 with a 4 year hiatus. This man broke it down to an atomic level.
For once I was not distracted the whole block could have been on fire and id have let it burn to get through the lesson before trying to grab all that knowledge and die trying to save it..
Hello! I'm new to Ted's stuff, which is mesmerizing to say the least. Any idea if there is any video of him playing ol man river? I want to tackle that one, but some video would be useful, at least some seconds, because the tuning haunts me. Thanks in advance!
If you touch only the tip, it makes a loud noise. If you touch the ground first while touching the tip, there’s no noise. So if you absolutely must plug it in while the amp’s volume is up, you’d better touch the ground while doing it.

This must be the most freeing concept in music. It shows that Ted Greene was not just a spectacular guitar player, but a genius musician.
Ted's so pleasant to listen to. He doesn't talk down to people. Lovely.
Wow, I was born on this day and year! Scary… love ted x
This is what happens when music theory meets physical ability. Utterly awesome.
Watching ted play is mesmerising, it's just a stream of brilliance
Amazing the knowledge this man had, pity he's not still around. 😊

I love the siren in the background when Ted says "every chord is in the key".

There's nothing like watching Ted teach!
R.i.p to one of the greatest !
This is sublime! Thank you for making this available.
The question is clear and the answer is deep. Greene Acres is the place to be.
guys like Ted and Alan Holdsworth and I would add Ralph Towner acoustically are simply from another planet. This is incredible to watch
Ted is the man!
I was at this workshop, it was amazing and inspiring!
Every chord is in the key! 5:27
I live near Camptown, and we just had the races this past weekend! (It’s a foot race now, no horses anymore…)
5 miles long though yeah ? … Doo dah
Thanks for this. Much appreciated
The only TED talks that are worth a s____.
Awesome!!!
Best ipanema insight ever
Key transposition in the beginning....good stuff.
"Every major's in the key, every minor, every dominant."
He is playing Girl from Ipanema at very first chords ;) Tom Jobim really was an amazing musician
7:20 sounds suspiciously like 48 seconds into Ahmad Jamal's "It Could Happen to You" from Ahmad's Blues
magical madness
thanx for posting :)
supreme teacher
Was that the Camptown PD!?! lol
News at 11, it has that edgy sound, Joni Mitchell used that also

are there any Ted Greene vids with a decent sound quality, unfortunately his guitar is usually distorted
This is sadly a good question. I wish he made more studio recordings.
what did he say about the cord? plugging it in

well ted you about and about 7 other people had it down, that's it!
Spoke like a gentlemen ... wish I could have met him.
I'm not sure if the guitar is too small or Ted has HUGE Fingers
This is what Bach must have thought of on the keyboard....unfortunately I haven’t got that skill....☹️
The real gentle genius after Mendelssohn
I spent a lot of time working with “chick singers” and one I worked with did this in B and “All the Things You Are” was in another strange key.
what gauge strings are those?
Year late but I'd wager flat wound 12s.
@@markpfeffer7487 he experimented quite a bit but I don't believe he used flats - tedgreene.com/images/pdf/TedGreeneStringGauges.pdf is your friend :)

girl from ipanema?
filmcrew1551 definitely
Key point is he is starting from the melody and then harmonizing under it. Instead of bottom up as most guitarists do.
bob ross of guitar
Funny that he got the whistle wrong.
He started on the 3rd; should've started on the major 7th.
But... who cares? :•D
