Ted Greene Archival

[StoneWaller]

Maybe this is old news, or commonly known, but I wanted to pass this on to the self learners, solo players, and hobbyists like myself....or anyone...

While working through bits and pieces of Chord Chemistry by Ted Greene, I stumbled upon TedGreene.com. Essentially a massive archival of his arrangements, lessons, and videos. The quality and quantity of the material freely available to download is astounding. Huge lists of his arrangements of standards, doubled or tripled in volume with companion comping, harmonic analysis, and improvational studies.

Learning, playing, and then gradually playing around with - solid arrangements is how I learn best, and this is a gold mine to explore.

I found it whilst researching walking chords.

I regularly check out chord chemistry from our local library lol. I do that with a bunch of books especially texts that don't really ever have an ending. Have you ever checked out the advancing guitarist? No pun intended.

I just renew the books and never return them. There's this 1 really cool book that is basically all about the jazz standards. There history and some of the best recorded examples. It's strictly about the songs themselves no arrangements/lead sheets. Just the history but it covers not only the great American songbook but also a buncha original compositions by the jazz cats themselves Ala monk, minus, and Ellington. The Donna Lee's of this world. It's very valuable material to get to know the background of basically the repertoire of this great music. I look at it this way. A classical musician has their repertoire right. Well so do jazzers!
