Ted Greene - Some where over the "Rain Bow"(TedGreene.com))

[gtrhead]

Ted was the best!

[Jplent1]

Beautiful vibrato..

[LastLegitTuber]

ted greene you are deeply missed as a great teacher and guitar player. you truly changed the world of guitar

[HERB4441]

I enjoyed Ted Greene more than any solo guitar I ever heard. Unfortunately, he was alive for only one solo recording. His book "Chord Chemistry" is a classic.

[harrybalofski]

makes you wonder why singers get all the acclaim and money, and dont put a 5,000th of the work this man has done,lets hear it for the real hard working musicians

[patmyer]

Miss you Ted, thank you for this wonderful music. I have been and will be able to come back to your music for the rest of my life in times of trouble or hardship. It always seems to pull me away :)

[gerardmanjoue]

Ted is the master of masters, it completely mastering the guitar voicings. Rest his soul, for me this man was the most striking element of jazz guitar instrumental. These methods are very beneficial to hear the good phrasing and to develop our sense of harmony. I have the deepest respet for his art and his work. A pure artist.

[ReubenAdkins]

Wow, amazing arrangement.

[ronshalita]

grwatanabe, i am not sure but I might have you beat... I am not sure how long I have had his book CC but the pages are turning yellow.. thanks to Tommy E on one of his videos saying something about ted and his book.. it clicked hmmm " i KNOW I have that book" but of course when I was younger I never looked at a book.. and so it was moved I dont know how many times until today when I pulled it out of my music studio... and thanks to Facebook someone mentioned his name and WALA here i is

[cm0220ster]

X on tab generally means the string is not played, generally by muting it.

[grwatanabe]

40 years after buying chord chemistry i finally get to hear ted greene.

wow.

the technology is cool.

love and joy to ted.

[yobeutch]

Tommy Emmanuel dislikes this 5 times

[lucancherby]

Teg Greene was the same as inspector Clouseau: a clumsy genius.

[TruthSurge]

Reason he's looking at the paper is that it's his first day playing and he's just learning all that from a Mel Bay chord book. I guess you could say he's a fast learner. :)

[kweerb8]

i got the charts for this song off his website but i don't understand some of the markings he uses. can someone please tell me what the open box, open triangle, and X all mean?

[eightstring]

@kweerb8

Go back to the site and check the forum, there are explanations of the fingering system there.

RC

[jpsautarel]

@kweerb8 I think "X" means that you have to pick the note after picking the chord, the open box stil later... something like that...

[markomatijevic]

@kweerb8 could you tell me where did you get the charts?

[jplent]

moving...

[rocks90s]

4 people dislake this are jonas brothers fans

[binky69]

@rocks90s BAHAHAHA

[rocks90s]

@binky69 its true jajaja

[isayah85]

He is suffering of music geniusness..

[cweatapeach]

that's probably the sweetest rendition of that tune i've heard

[XLuckieX]

They should stab the 3 persons that didnt like this

[twangbarfly]

@XLuckieX They should stab them repeatedly with a tele headstock - just so they know exactly where they went wrong :-)

[gil84rs]

I bought one of his books about three years ago, I haven't finish digesting all the information in it and now I realize what an incredible soul Ted had. I didn't know he passed away, but watching him play has made me realize I still have a long way to go and that there is so much to discover in the musical path. Inspirational and graceful!

[dragondix]

TED... the man.

[zonedout245]

I'm really glad Ted Greene existed.

[plpicher]

btw, awesome work, he was a genius

[dwebster50]

A classic song played so so amazing , Ted is such a master and thanks for posting this beauty. His bass lines set the voicings up so well .

He can think like piano players D:

[TheSlideslide]

i just have to put in a nice word for Ted Greene. He was so nice in person, It was amazing to hear him play. i could listen to him all day. and i have a hunch he would play all day. ill never forget it. such a genious

[EduardoAllo]

can´t believe it´s posible to know the fretboard so well...beautiful genius

[Cajalientje]

wauw. amazing

[lidesnowi]

Ted Greene one of a kind !

Total feeling

[AbbrevOrch]

you can get the chart for this arrangement (and heaps more) from his website - I imagine he's looking at the chart to make sure he plays exactly what's there to provide an example

[Mosin54r]

I love that smile he gives at the end !

[loren1283]

Hes gone? When did he pass away?

[geoffreyefloyd]

He died in 2005. Very sad...he was a great musician.

[RexLancaster]

How wonderful as I never saw Ted playing before. He keeps looking down to his right. Is he playing from a chart? I always thought he would have those tunes off by heart. Maybe he's just concentrating and has no need to look at the instrument. What a master and what an inspiration.

[jan1080]

I think he's just looking out to a random direction for internal focus. I do much the same when I improvise. I just turn my head to a specific location (down to the left in front of me) and just think. For some reason, that head location helps more than others. It just feels better.

So I doubt he's got any charts to his side.

[KHGuitarFreak1988]

The charts are on his lap...

[wikiphaun]

haha

[1donny7]

the chart is on his leg, he's struggling to not lose it. you can see him looking around the neck at it ... are we all watching the same video?

great playing

[arbassBA]

Soulful playing... so inspiring... He'll be missed.

[TLSB43]

Obviously Ted was a master of his craft.

[booradleymtl]

Just finished this months fretboard journal.. I had no idead he had died.. but then again.. he really hasnt.

[acetoned76]

Agreed, I've learned so much from Ted in the last 3 months via these wonderful YouTube videos . He is, in a real sense, very much alive and moving us with his musical soul.

[GravityBoy72]

Beautiful Jazz on a Telecaster.

Indeed why not.

You don't need the big boxes.

[z4rt4n]

well done

[8triagrammer]

So beautiful, too bad the audio quality is not so good...

[tumcubus]

thank you for posting this

very beautiful!

[lukieh]

Are they p90's in the neck/middle?

Thanks for the videos... amazing.

[deanwegweiser]

Does anyone know what was his reason for tuning down a half step?

[Tangerinemustang]

to make it sound SOOO AWESSSOME

[TheBeatlesCom]

@Tangerinemustang Yes..With sheet music.

[cnoteseven]

He really liked the way the guitar warmed up when it was tuned down. He used to tune down his thin body Guild archtops (with flatwounds) and get this amazing deep sound.

[lsoprimus]

Look at that fret board ! it has to be his #1. I wish I could have heard him play in person.

[roger347]

Great!!

MARVELUS GUITARIST

[gtrrobster]

[Tangerinemustang]

[viniguitarjazz]

Ótimo ! ted unico no mundo !
