Everytime I see a video like this I feel completely relaxed and all is right with the world. The Peace that comes from Ted is so rare these days. Ted lived his bliss.
There is Three people i cannot stop listening to, Allan Holdsworth, Shawn Lane and Ted Greene, They all have me in Awe every time.. Ted inspires me more than any other these days!
I am amazed that there are such a relatively low number of views and so few comments on these videos of Mr Greene. He is a wealth of musical knowledge and understands it in a very deep visceral way. In an age where where flash is worshiped, Mr Greene's lessons with his former students shows us what it is really all about.
It is SO nice to be able to listen in on these precious moments coming from an honest and seemingly very humble soul. Ted Greene's 1st 2 books have been a mainstay in my music library from 1976 to this day. These original copies(the ones where T.G.'s wearing a full beard) may have to be replaced with some new editions...and worth their weight in gold! Thanks for sharing these videos of a true master.
Benjamin: You are so right , your take on listening... I stopped playing guitar for almost 30 years ... to then discover that during those years , I was listening ....Something I was taught as a young 10 year old aspiring guitar player ... So much to learn ...and Ted really did know so so much of music and retaining high accuracy to enable Ted G to be the premier guitar teacher ...Thanks for getting to the root of learning to play Dave Alberta
It's great to see this video with Ted with the widest ever guitar chord chemistry in his head during his prime- relaxing and playing the tit bits of blues/rock n roll, peeping a little into the very American pop guitar evolution. Wonder if he was in the evening of his life! I admired his knowledge and skill of playing an endless array of progression and inversions.
This is magnificent. How cool to have a musician with such great ears pulling early rock and roll apart to see how it ticks! I'd love to see this book he was working on, even if it's just fragments and notes.
what a cool review of the different styles and players. Some people describe one of those rhythms as a "flat tire" blues, which I think describes it well.
Really funny to hear Ted talk about(and demonstrate) Rock and Roll. I love when he does that SRV shuffle. Never saw him play an L-5 and shame on you Nick for not knowing who Jimmy Reed is! I'll let you off the hook for providing this great footage. Thanks.
The chap in the background keeps making these slightly dismissive Interjections….TG is there like a shot with those pithy and insightful observations. And he is of course, spot on. There is beauty and imagination in - what appears to be - the simplest musical forms.
What a great piece of history. Hopefully all this history being captured on Ebay will remain here forever and out-survive the pyramids for generations to come to have some understanding of a great player and the how rock n roll got started. RIP Ted.
here's a tip for all musicians (if not all music lovers period) : listen to your speaking voice. if you sound like the dude getting a lesson, you're not "listening." you aren't allowing yourself to hear "sound" as an objective part of your experience. this guy sounds shrill and speaks in an awkward rhythm/flow. if your voice sounds chill and relaxing like Ted's then you're on the right track. you might think this sounds superficial, but it really isn't.
Acutely observed, I notice the guy getting the lesson could not allow Ted to finish his sentences he was too concerned about getting his own point across, strange attitude for a student really.
Who is this Nick Stasinos !?? He keeps interrupting Ted's thoughts and demonstrations ! He talks over this genius before he finishes one complete thought. That nasal mouth dope ruins a super fantastic video of the genius of guitar. He's missing all of these important and spot on examples (lessons)Ted just streams though nonchalantly, effortlessly, recalling nearly all the different rock and roll guitar types there were in the 50s and 60s !! If I were Ted, I'd have stopped the camera and kicked the fool out !!
You know Mark we wouldn't even have this video if Nick Stasinos hadn't done it and made it available to everyone. I'm sure when he made it he never expected to post it for the whole world to see. He probably did it just for himself.

That was beautiful! Around the world with Ted Greene. What a genius.
Priceless!!!!!!, Thank you!!!
Ted "The Jedi Master" of guitar....maybe we all should be as well "listened" as he was!RIP.Thank you!
Right on..... go to Ted for history of rock and roll plus Jazz, Classical and everything else.
Perhaps they'll listen now..

Steve Crawford , it's a case of pearls being offered to swine, I'm afraid.
Agree, but more basic is when standards are dropped, mediocrity rises to the top.@@bobtaylor170
The energy of such an extraordinary, passionate and enthusiastic soul is an absolute delight to see and absorb. Thank you.
wow. This guy has done some awesome analyzing of music

I've been a Ted Greene fan for ages, but that is amazing. Thanks for sharing this with us.

Amazing analysis: this is what Crossover is made of, uniting rhythm, harmony & melody across genres, ages, races and even continents‼️
Such a treat...so wonderful to have footage like this. Ted's genius just shines through!

My Teacher "So Blessed':
What a talented man he was
Very interesting, obviously a dedicated and genuine music man

Wow man! I haven't heard a real phone in decades.
"It's just blues" "Yea, but there's more to it" Right on Ted!
what a monster! Ted is the man!
Genius
That's a lawsuit L5-CES replica made by Ibanez, model 2460. Made '75-78
Holly Molly....!!!
What do you expect when you’ve let the phone ring for so long. There’re not going to stay on the line forever

@trevskiw2008 Great choice! For me it's Lane, Greene and Danny Gatton. The unsung masters of the guitar...
@6:39 ...Bo wants his riff back!
Lyle Lovett is also a single pitch group guy, i think
What a great piece of history. Hopefully all this history being captured on Ebay will remain here forever and out-survive the pyramids for generations to come to have some understanding of a great player and the how rock n roll got started. RIP Ted.
No cocaine was harmed in the making of this video
And none was left after.
Or used, for that matter...
What’s the intro from??

Funny(lol)...to shame Nick....but YOU typed "SRV" shuffle!....maybe you meant "Jimmy Reed" shuffle(gytbotd)!

He's the guy taking the *private* lesson.
