To quote so many musicians- if a solo doesn’t tell you a story, whats the point. So many can shred on the guitar on demos and recordings- which if any do you recall? Unless it told a story. Whether it is Lester Young on shoe shine boy, or Van halen on Beat It, or the beautiful intro of “Thugz Mansion “with Michael Herring. Long list- and of course Ted. Its story telling. Thanks Ted- and thanks for the uploading.
So "spiritual" or angelic I want to say ... But that implies attributes to Ted's playing that I don't mean. It is just so great as to be other worldly. But of course it is not --- but there are frequent moments when he makes a sequence of voicings that are just pure and so sonorous as to transport me into another realm of reality.

This is the best Ted Talk creation gave mankind...
Thank you God.
Ted was a master among masters that day.
After hearing this I won't ever play a single string solo again, just chord voicings...wonderful Ted.
Man ted greene's soothing voice as he played beautiful music with a haunting tone is so relaxing
His tone is angelic and Ted’s humble and lovingkind nature are in harmony with the entire room.
That's some expressive wording

He was such a kind soul always teaching the secrets of his playing to people.
What a legend
Thank you for sharing - Ted is greatly missed - Cheers - John
Thank you for the kind words, John! =)
Unbelievably beautiful playing, Teds way of coming up with chords and movement is great!
Ted is awesome. I hadn't heard of him until a reference from Scott Henderson. His sense of humor is on key for sure.
On key: I get it!
Freaking Yoda. What a wonderful soul he was.
Magnificent
perhaps because I've been listening to his meanderings on chords for more than half an hour...
I actually got excited by what he played at 37:10 😱🤫😵💫
That's why he's the GOAT!

Don't worry! - with Ted Greene, I cannot help myself slipping into religious language either :P
bach at 20:20 procul harum
Just taking a sec to notice he has the nicest clean sound 😮the sustain and clarity is like heroin to me ears.
1:31:00 Tele nerd question: What could be the difference between the two Teles? (He liked the sound of the second one better for this illlustration).
He was preparing for a Cronenberg movie, like Crash. lol
Meh. Mediocre.
hi!..hi!...your so funny!...
Wow to me this is amazing.
What a witless remark.
Your comment speaks volumes to what you know.
