AMAZING transcription, François! I first picked up Ted's workbook "Chord Chemistry" in 1976. It changed everything I ever thought I knew about the guitar!!! 🎸 I'm still just scratching the surface all these years later! Thanks again, François!
Amazing as always François. If I may ask, out of all the players you have done, which player(s) have you found the most challenging to transcribe? I cannot begin to imagine how much time goes into each transcription and how good of an ear you must have to be able to capture the nuances of each player. Thank you very much for all your hard work, we appreciate you very much.

Ted Greene is definitely the most time consuming to transcribe and by far. It is also the more challenging but each time I tackle a new guitarist for the first time it's a big challenge or when the audio is crap. Thanks a lot! much appreciated :-)
François Leduc Haha, I sort of figured Ted would be the most challenging. I have been listening to Ted for many years now, and I have always thought of his music as something to only be admired, because not in a million years would I have thought that I would actually be learning one of his songs as it is so hard to figure out what he is doing. I know I have already said it in my original comment, but you are a blessing. Thank you again François.
man I’d kill for u to do his moon river from “ted greene at seashell 3” on youtube. im 2/3 of the way through this one but have always wanted to learn that.
i maybe missing something here. But the tab isnt in line with the song right? to me the first note is not 12. its more on 10. Anyone can help? Maybe i tuned my guitar wrong for this?

His guitar is tuned down 1 step. Sorry I think the tuning was set to 'hide' or something like that... my mistake. Cheers!
One should point out that Ted Greene's guitar was detuned a whole step, and the piece as recorded is in the key of D. The music actually lays out quite nicely in that key. The arrangement is a fine version in E, but less difficult to execute in D.

Yes I forgot to add the "tune one step down" indication. Although, I always write the notation in normal tuning so the standard notation is OK... cheers!
If I recall, Ted simply liked to detune his guitar by a whole step. But yes, while the bulk of the arrangement is in D, he cycles through D flat and C at the end of the song.

I just wrote in E to facilitate the standard notation reading, that's how it's done in every books. It's the same as instrument that are transposed like trumpet or saxophone.
@ Wow I've been checking out all the audio archives and I'm in love. Best guitar player to ever live in my opinion. I started transcribing some of his improv tracks and would love to share with you if you're interested!
If anyone has any video of them playing this, I would love to see someone performing it. I got through about 20-30 seconds of it while ignoring the harmonics. The stretches are just too far for me in some of these parts
@@jureklemencic7316im at a bit over half way. I can do the harp harmonics stuff but not like him. Still dont have a video im even remotely happy with tho
How is the lo-fi sound in this recording achieved, or what is to blame for it? I would like to impart that sound to my own recordings sometimes but I don't know how to.
Oh My God! It's like the pages of Chord Chemistry have come to life before my very eyes!
Thanks

Great material and presentation François - Thank you for sharing !
The amount of times I studied your videos during high school… coming back to this channel always takes me back
Thank you very much! You have done an amazing job, there is more music in this piece than in a whole comercial album.
Que sorpresa encontrarlos aquí Chachi jajaja
grande chachi jajaja
haha those coltrane changes near the end... What a player, truly amazing
Just a little Ted Greene transcription with not too much content! Have fun!
Thank you soo much for this!!!
When I got over the technical aspects of the bad recording quality, I found beauty and aesthetics so deep to feel it in my bones.
Hooray! Thanks so much! Love Ted Greene
beautiful playing and wonderful transcription!
Outstanding. Reminds me of the great Johnny Smith.
Muy bueno @Francois Leduc , mil gracias !!
Siempre esperando el buen material qué compartis para seguir aprendiendo a tocar Jazz del bueno !!
LOVE THE WORK! Way above any of my abilities. I might suggest doing anything by FRANCESCO BUZZURRO. His improvizations are just WOW!
amazing work really fantastic
If anyone is interested in learning more Ted Greene arrangements I’d recommend checking out his website - there’s a wealth of content there
ahahah wonderful! how the heck do you hear all those subtle changes in the chords is great! great as always
Thanks! I've put like 2 thousands hours in transcribing Ted Greene.... or maybe more. I'm starting to see where he's going.
Beyond great!

Thanks! Great job!
Thanks man, that's amazing.
Bufffff !! Fantastic!!! Thanks
Magnificent.....I should have this down by.....I dunno.....maybe 2027 or so.....thanks
almost there
Ah.... Ted Greene. The best, least known, guitarist ever. Well known by those who know. Those who don’t, well they just miss out.
I agree. Ted Greene is the greatest story never told. Thank god for these videos. His guitar was genius.
Yeeeeaaaaah thankss!!!❤️
Thank you so much

The key of D but using the shapes of E? Is that why Francois wrote the notation in E? (I know ted throws in a few more keys before he finished!!!

how did you figure that all out - did look at the video? i think there's a video out of Ted Playing it? amazing transcription btw
What is the source of this audio? What concert?
It's from the "Private concert at Alec Silverman's home". You will find it on the 'Ted Greene Legacy' website.
@ Wow I've been checking out all the audio archives and I'm in love. Best guitar player to ever live in my opinion. I started transcribing some of his improv tracks and would love to share with you if you're interested!
A question - when I play along with the transcription, I find it is in the key of D rather than E. Did Ted detune a whole step?
Yeah he would often downtune, sometimes 1 1/2 steps. Tuning down to D was common for him
If anyone has any video of them playing this, I would love to see someone performing it. I got through about 20-30 seconds of it while ignoring the harmonics. The stretches are just too far for me in some of these parts
I have made it to the 60 second mark. will upload a video soon! :)
got it down yet? learning ted greene songs and making them sound close to the way he does is so hard but so so rewarding
@@jureklemencic7316im at a bit over half way. I can do the harp harmonics stuff but not like him. Still dont have a video im even remotely happy with tho
It’s just missing “1 tone lower”
Nooo... not again.... *$%*/%?
Amazing! By the way, where do you get the audios?
On the Ted Greene website : www.tedgreene.com/
Thank you very much Frabcois.
