MUST HAVE for guitarists!

This is a staggering book, let me say. I've had it for a long time, and worked through it more than once, and I come back to it for fun and inspiration, as well as using it with students. The meat and potatoes of this book is that Ted Greene (an absolute legend of guitar harmony) has taken a...

This is probably the best book you will find aboug traditional guitar chords

Years ago I spent hours and hours learning these chords and highlighting my favorite sets of chords (I still do it, but now with Mick Goodrick books). Nice thing about this book is that the chords are given in context-jazz harmonic progressions. Of course you can replace the chords at will, but...

Ted Greene Strikes Back!

I like this book a lot more than Greene's original 'Chord Chemistry' because the gargantuan amount of voicings included in the book are applied to REAL chord progressions, not organized simply by chord quality. I own all of the Ted Greene books because he was an amazing teacher and there is a...

guitar

I have only one consideration regarding this book and another of his actaully and that is that the hand drawn chord diagrams are difficult to read. I would prefer the diagrams a little larger and clearer. I give it a 4 star overall. Minus one star for the illegibality

One of my favorite music books!

With the purchase of "Modern Chord Progressions" a few weeks ago, I completed collecting all of Ted Greene's amazing publications. His approach to writing may be considered a bit unorthodox, or dated, to some as they were originally written in the 1970's using less sophisticated publishing...

Another great one from Ted Greene

I have owned Chord Chemistry for almost half life and just in recent months began to really appreciate Ted Greene's work. I highly suggest owning all of his books, maybe not Single note Soloing unless you are really serious but Modern Chord Progressions and Chord Chemistry are necessary. If you...

Reason for studying music theory

Observing people who have demonstrated a fluency in their instrument, and, using this information to develop one's own ideas are the benefits of study.Ted Greene is able to convey his passion for playing the guitar. He communicates his musicianship with his writings. Tab and other music notation...

Wow. This book will keep you busy for about a year. Maybe two.

I'm taking Jazz guitar lessons, and this book has helped me to peek ahead and see the dizzying number of permutations for all of the commonly used chords and voicings. There's no easy way to learn jazz, but if you work through this book, you will know a lot more by the time you finish it. It's...

The perfect complement to "Chord Chemistry"

Ted Greene continues the lessons taught in Chord Chemistry, treating chord progressions in the same exhaustive manner. He takes a progression (say, I-vi-ii-V7) and demonstrates a large number of chord combinations, many of which lend themselves to creating melodic lines. At first look, it...

A wealth of beautiful Voice-Leading Progressions from the master of guitar harmony

This book is awesome... But it's only really useful in terms of serious long-term study. I'm an intermediate level guitarist, and it took me very long just to get the first couple of progressions on the first page mastered. Mr. Greene does not shy away from using difficult or akward voicings in...
