Ted was the single biggest inspiration in my young life.
He shared everything he knew so graciously, and with
such compassion and understanding for individuals. I
miss him so much. Please let me know of any information
for the memorial, plus I would gladly offer my help
in any area, thanks for the site dan.

Loni -- I keep coming back to see the new postings several
times a day, too. Bob's trying to keep a stiff upper
lip, but I'm blubbering like a baby. Wish I could hug
you. Will see -- unfortunately -- soon at the service.
Love,
Carla

I took many lessons with Ted over the years, starting
in the late 70's (Dale' guitars). My last was in november
of '04. The music community, not just the guitar community,
has lost a giant. I would love to attend the memorial.

Dan,
Adam and yourself are doing a great service to the memory
of Ted Greene. We should all aspire to receive the outpouring
of love and friendship at the end of our journey as
Ted is being shown here. "To have friends you must
be one."
If I can be permitted to daydream here,I would love
to see a creation of The Ted Greene Library from his
amazing collection of books and music that dominated
his apartment. Can you imagine the treasures there?
Please contact me for the memorial service.

Reading these tributes to Ted, I find myself saying
under my breath, “yeah, me too, I second that.”
I, too, viewed him as a friend, and a resource, a mentor,
and a great inspiration. I imagine many of us expected
to be able to see Ted play somewhere 20 years from now.
Too bad. The touching tributes here have moved me greatly,
and have helped to ease the sadness I feel. To be associated
with him made you proud to be a guitar player. To hear
and watch him play was to be inspired, moved and awed
by the unbelievable combination of artistry, technique,
musicality, soulfulness, and sensitivity. To visit with
him was a joy. Please let me know about the memorial.

Hi Dan
Thank you for getting this blog going.
I was worried that people eager to be supportive would
have no way to contact family members and friends.
I would like to see a Ted Greene foundation created
that supports the education of guitarists who lack the
means or opportunity to pursue their guitar studies.
There seems to be a number of off-hand recordings of
Ted that could be compiled and released, with part of
the proceeds going to support this foundation. There
are undoubtedly many pages of teaching materials that
could also be compiled into a number of books.
Please add me + 1 to the people wishing to participate
in Ted's Memorial.

PS Dan - Please call or email me if possible.
I have known Ted since 1966 and have recently been taking
lessons with him again.

Ted Greene, gone too soon
Ted Greene is gone. I can't believe it.
Ted was probably the kindest and most prolific person
I've ever known. Even though I haven't been able to
keep in constant contact, I've always felt he was one
of my best life long friends. He is responsible for
the majority of whatever musical abilities I have and
had a major effect on my life for the better. He did
more for furthering guitar harmony than anyone I know
of. When I sat with Ted, he always inspired me, always
made me feel I could accomplish anything on the instrument
that I desired. That's what made him one of the greatest
teachers of all time.
The planet is, and will always be a better place for
his visit.
Good Bye my friend, I will miss you,

Yeah I'll be there - just tell me where and when. I
never took formal lessons from Ted apart from studying
his books,but I used to run into him down at Chris'
Guitars down on Lankershim Blvd and we've sat on the
floor playing together a few times.He once complimented
me on my right hand technique and at that point I felt
I had been blessed by the Pope to "go forth and
play the guitar". Rest easy Ted. My recording studio
is also available for any work regarding the compiling,
editing, restoration, etc of any future Ted Greene music
releases.
