it takes alot of skill and work to play a tele. humbuckers give more output so you dont have to press as hard or worry about how you are touching the guitar. with a tele single coil you will hear all your mistakes. thats why the metal heads love gibsons
4:36 I don't care what you name it, jazz or what not, because this is not the 'boring' jazz you hear 97% of the time. His playing is constantly going to audial climax. So many people answer the question: "Who is your favourite guitarist?" with hendrix. I hope they someday ask me so I can say Ted Greene just to see their pupils dilate when I let them hear a track of his. I can really say I found someone inspiring. Is there actually anything bad about this guy? Other then being constantly baffled?
@waldo2384 I gotta check that out. Every guitar is like playing a different instrument. Each has different tonal properties to bring to that musical table, so to speak. That's why I love listening to Frisell's work on his Tele, it works because he realizes that sound in his head. Ted talks about that jangle, an archtop doesn't give you that and I say that as an avid archtop player myself.
Looks like if he had Diogenes Syndrome.

If you could enhance Ted's speech volume on his videos that would be so helpful. Thanks for sharing these.

Towards the end there, Ted is playing Ed Bickert's intro to "Just Squeeze Me" off of Paul Desmond's "Pure Desmond" album.

@waldo2384 was Bickert the first guy to bring the tele into jazz with the big guns. He plays that tele like a 50,000 archtop.

@pickinstone I've seen video of Joe Messina playing jazz on a tele back in the 50s.
