No one could play virtuoso guitar like Ted Greene. One must be very careful never to say that this or that guitarist is the "best" They all have their own voice. I love Joe Pass too, but given a choice between Joe & Ted, I'd go for Ted everytime. He died young & only made one album, but I listen to it all the time. Ialso studied his book "Chord Chemistry." I only wish he had lived long enough to record more albums, but it was not to be. As a professional jazz guitarist myself. I can appreciate..

people think if they copy someone they will be a clone, it doesn't happen. so they focus on scales, modes and theory and never get anywhere. We all know the same english words more or less and yet we all speak uniquely. Plus some of Ted's voicings are quite the stretch so you have to make easier versions sometimes!

yeah and yet thousands of players lack of style

great stuff!
I have had this GIT vid for about 10 yrs.....
so lucky they filmed the thing!
To become great, you need to study, copy and imitate the masters. Anyone could spend a lifetime trying to play exactly like Ted, yet he'd only end up sounding like himself. Ted Greene doesn't sound like Ted Greene because he strived to sound like Ted Greene, does he? He sounds iike himself because he studied the guitar zealously and took musical influences here and there. Style is like an evolutionary process: good things tend to stick with you and bad things tend to be repulsed.

...and lack of style is most likely caused by eager students working off scale boxes, chord diagrams and tabulatures without the slightest idea of what they mean and how they relate to the big picture.
