Love his delivery of "with practice" at 14:40. Gentle and to the point.

That pinky bar has been so elusive for me! Now I am working out a Lenny Breau arrangement that requires that pinky bar. My goal for June is to achieve that. How many years later? Lol! Better late than never!

This is a gift, thank you. ❤️

Gold mine! As indirectly, unintentionally suggested by the man himself, Greene - like so many great guitarists before or since - can be difficult to transcribe because his *touch* so much affects the sound of what you’re hearing. That dissonance in the second voicing of this tune as recorded is a great example. To that end, it’s incredibly helpful to hear Greene *arpeggiate* some of these chords so we can hear each note in them. Can’t thank you enough for this valuable clip.

This is amazing thanks! It's amazing to hear Ted's thought process on how he came up with the intro to this piece. I learnt so many new things!

[@nickstasinos]

Later on, Ted told me the intro was inspired by Lenny Breau.

@@nickstasinos The guy who taught me jazz guitar back in the ‘70’s sat down with “The Little Gypsy” (Lenny Breau) for a lesson. He said something to the effect that anything he could play in front of him he would take apart and rebuild into something incredible. He was so good that he would take audience requests. If he didn’t know it, he would ask you to sing or hum it, and away he’d go.👍

Amazing. Thanks Nick

I can't imagine how life is hard for people that are so connected to music and disconnected of this sick inhuman society. He's immersed in harmonies and knowledge. Fuck the bills and the taxes. Love that.

[@jimjustice581]

Wow! Pearls before swine! He’s so good that only a jazz aficionado or jazz musician can understand what he’s saying, doing, and how he’s doing it. He wrote the book on substitute chords and chord extensions. Literally! His book is a must have in your reference library. I’ve used it frequently in helping dress up any chord melody arrangement I attempt. Thanks for sharing your video.

Hey Nick, thanks so much for sharing this. Do you have anything of Ted discussing his arrangement of 'Just Friends' by any chance...? Thanks!

Hi Cameron, I never covered this song in my lessons with Ted, but I have seen transcriptions of it both here on KZbin and on TedGreene.Com.
