I think I am as impressed by Ted's ability to *teach* as I am his ability to *play*.

[revchild]

ted used to come into our guitar store in Sheman Oaks and sit crossed leg on the floor and play our old Teles and just amaze us with his playing and how he explained it to us..a true genius and a truly genuine human being..nicest guy you could ever meet..he will be missed..

Ted talks about changing I vi ii V (Fmaj7 Dm7 Gm C7) making the ii dominant G7. you can make each chord dom7 F7 D7 G7 C7 then tritone sub the D7 to Ab7 and G to Gb so you have F7 Ab7 G7 Gb7 for chromatic motion.

The final melody line I have A A F C and bass line G F# G D G chords are Gm9 Gm9 D7#9 C7sus/G

Dan,Thank you for making this lesson material available for everyone. This offers wonderful insight into Ted's diversity as a teacher. Equally accomplished in the blues as he is in the baroque.

Without you Barbara this would probably not be a reality for others to benefit from and your care and guidance pertaining to the archives and keeping Ted's legacy alive is unparalleled and worthy of much praise.

@TedGreeneArchives You're a real champ for posting this stuff, Thanks!!

I had Ted's chord chemistry book back in the mid' 70's. It's still way over my head.
