In Memory of Ted Greene
(The Chord Chemist) - Legendary Jazz Guitarist
Sept. 26, 1946 - July 26, 2005

He was my teacher and "friend"....



 

My "first guitar lesson with Ted Greene" on January 13, 1983...
This is one of the very first lesson sheets that I have been graced with on my first day with Ted.

Here we are studying "The 5 Main Areas of the Fingerboard"
This one will keep you busy if you actually "do the work" (as Ted would say!) and learn the material in "All" keys!

As Ted stated: the purpose is "To help visualize and learn almost anything on guitar faster and easier. Even if you can't quite play all the chords given yet, you should learn to "see" them -- this is the important part.

As you can see in the top left corner my next lesson was scheduled for Jan 31, 1983 at 6pm.
