 George Van Eps Guitar Method I am going to kick myself in the butt when I read your responses, but..... I just found The George Van Eps Guitar Method. In his first lesson he is teaching a harmonized C scale in triad form. He shows six slightly different ways of doing this on different sets of three strings. In all six examples he is using 1st inversion triads except for the vi-. For this he uses a 2nd inversion F (c,f,a) instead of what I would use, a 1st inversion A minor (c,e,a). What am I overlooking?     |

 The answer is here. Straight from the Master's mouth. TedGreene.com - Audio - Ted Greene, George Van Eps Interview |

| What a great speaker. Liked the part where he's telling Ted about the inferior tonal quality of "slab" guitars ("some people think you can take a 2x4 and put strings and HB on it and it'll sound right"). This is 1981--has Ted started playing a Tele yet?  |

| I recently started working on Van Epps' first version of his method mentioned in the inverview, "The George Van Epps Guitar Method". I have to write out each of the exercises in all the keys but the triad based material seems to resonate with the way my brain likes to learn. I just "correct" all the vi chords. In this method version there is an exercise that has you play chords I, ii, iii, I, then ii, iii, iv, ii, etc for each of the 6 forms. It still is kicking my butt with the metronome clicking very slowly. It's "old school" learning but that was what my 8 years of grade school used so I'm pre-conditioned. Ed S. |
