Ted is sitting calmly doing things that are at the limits of what's possible with a guitar.

i don't understand why so many people go mad about fingerstyle guitarists like andy mckee or antoine dufour. ted's playing has incomparably more depth. his voicings are harmonizations were so sophisticated and so incredibly beautiful. and his music is so much deeper and just way more interesting. just my opinion though - to each his own.

He could really make the melody sing. . . and the harmonization's sublime. I only wish he had received all the appreciation and love that he so deserved while he was alive, rather than after he's gone. PLEASE if you see musicians of this caliber playing some little club, SUPPORT them with your love, kudos, MONEY. Such sensitivity comes at a great cost to the artist.

TedGreeneArchives. My favorite channel on youtube. Ted was one of the most harmonically advanced chord melody players I have ever heard. Lenny Breau is the only other player I can think of that could completely re-harmonize a tune in his head and play it more out there each time but never lose sense of the melody. In my book, Ted was one of the greats of all time.

Ted: the thinking person's guitarist....and I love those tiny, near imperceptible moments he is planning what to do next. Most folk don't notice, or if they do, license is invariably granted after the desired result is carried out. Ted uses the whole guitar, not just parts that come easily, or the easy meat. On "You'll never walk alone": I wonder whether he knew the second chorus would end up at the 16th fret before he began it....but he nailed it down just so...no problem. That's a nice little Telecaster. I'll give it a nod for its' pure sonic delight. love you, Ted.

I think Greene’s greatness stems in part from the fact that he took George Van Eps’ chromatic view of harmony, independent finger control, and lower register playing, melded it with Lenny Breau’s command of harmonics and higher register playing, and made a totally original sound out of it. He’s like Bird, who melded Hawk’s harmonic acumen with Prez’s phrasing and came up with something new. These are both generalizations, but the point is that Bird and Greene had a sound in mind, had models they studied, and still came up with something that was their own. That kind of genius doesn’t occur that often in life. It reminds me of Kant having to reconcile Locke and Hume. There’s an anxiety of influence which can otherwise crush mere mortals. Ted Greene not only reconciled those influences, he created something from them. It’s important in life to be yourself.

Yes, just what I was thinking. Here he is, the smartest and arguably best guitarist/musician ever, just sitting there playing away, along with the food service, chit chat of the wedding reception etc. If only they knew! Especially when one considers his public performances were rare and he only released one album, Solo Guitar, in 1977, a nine song masterpiece. You see other snippets of this wedding reception tape elsewhere on you tube, Look 'em up! :)

Those people chittering on the background - I’m sure there were such people at Mozart’s concerts too. I cannot think of things of such utter importance that are to be expressed without any delay or hesitation. Once I experienced a total solar eclipse: there was a excavator nearby, whose operator didn’t even think of stopping his work and watching the eclipse, he just turned on the lights as it dimmed a bit, and continued to work.
