The entirety of humanity, through a blond tele and a twin. On Vai BDay...6/6/93

Most folks won't remember a time before add 11 chords..

This video should be on every musical education curriculum forever.

The reason Greene's music is so beautiful is that he is playing fingerings that may not even be possible. That is why he misses notes. He would break his fingers if he reached them. He has pushed to reach these notes all his life and still can't reach them.

When Greene adjusts his guitar and amplifier knobs without making any difference that I can hear, I assume that he has an ear that is superhuman, able to discern notes and sounds that are beyond most people's range of perception. This is how, "by ear", he does what he does.

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.

wonder if Stanley Jordan ever heard this

I'm thinking him as the Glenn Gould of the guitar...

Nice jams.

After 10 minutes I gave up. I'll just keep on rippin any scale or shape I can. I'll NEVER be anyone of note ...These guitar wizards have much to teach, and impart, but Noone can teach inate feeling.. If yer good enough, that's good enough.. Not everyone can be Johnny Perfect... Simply enjoy the skills and virtues you are blessed with and have FUN.

He’s definitely the Bob Ross crossed with Steven Wright of guitar gurus. Genius.

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.

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

bah

I didn't know tim learch had an older brother who played

I love the way he puts it in term of major’s happy and minor is sad. In what prospective really🤷🏾‍♂️ Brazilians are the happiest people on the face of this planet where their common popular tunes are MINORS ✊🏿👍🏿

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!

Brilliant! FG

That chorus effect makes every sound spooky and dark.

Ted Greene has no equal…super smart…

He's the fucking Bob Ross of Guitar!!! Awesome.

Growing up I saw his books and walked past them 😢😢😢😢😢😢😢

Wow. His knowledge is staggering

Ted is amazing.

I laugh every time I see this guy and the way people twist themselves into knots to pretend this represents good music instruction. I wouldn’t wish this kind of “instruction” on my worst enemy.

Man this is amazing!

OK, he did not explained a bit of what modes are based on...I am sorry I know he was genius of the fingereboard and harmony...but teacher?

awesome performance so beautiful !!

The foot has a life of it's own...

ZZZZZZZZZZ!

This is genius…I owe all my hip chords to. Chord Chemistry…a book I have been reading and learning with since 4 decades!

He played the same chord for 2 hours. Did you notice that?

Mester

wow, especially the bach stuff : )))

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

Interesting that he mentions Oliver Nelson about 10 minutes in because I kept hearing “Stolen Moments” in the chords he was playing.

Around 1:07 you can really hear his influence on Eric Johnson......

Truly Eddie Van Halen was the only happy guitarist.

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.

Nice Work! WooF!!🐶🐶

Amazing.

Blimey!!! Words cannot express the musical brilliance of this lovely man

Open ended knowledge shared for all. Many thanks. For me - super helpful. Ta, steve. :))

Priceless; thank-you.

looking for this for about a year after i saw this high on LSD playing guitar. Happy to be back.

send in the clowns

Love the Tele

Wow this sounds like a classical piece!! ❤❤❤❤

Lowered seven, flat seven and dominant seven. It's easy to learn theory, when everything has three names. That also give three different mental associations.
