Ted Greene Teaches Voice Leading 01/24/00

Ted explains and demonstrates what voice leading is. Video Credits: Cesar Pineda 01/24/00 This short four-minute segment was at the end of the “Jazz-Blues” videos in which I normally would have called this Part 3. However, it is more related to Cesar’s “Wave” lesson (already posted) than it is to “Jazz-Blues”. I mean, moving around one altered dominant chord voicing in parallel motion ala Kenny Burrell is as far from voice leading as it gets (Jazz-Blues, Part 1). However, you can apply voice leading to any progression. For our purpose here, this serves as a stand-alone introduction rather than a segue from or to another lesson. Cesar had just finished playing for Ted his arrangement of the classic Jobim tune “Wave”, but then requests help from Ted on voice leading. The Berklee definition “The term “voice leading” refers to the way in which individual voices move from chord to chord. The best voice leading occurs when all individual voices move smoothly. You can achieve this by moving between chords using the same note or moving up or down by a step in the inner voices of the chord, whenever possible.” Ted was a master at this! Important note: Ted is still tuned down a ½ step from concert pitch! Here’s a brief summary: 1. Ted opens by defining what voice leading is, chromatic and diatonic. Think stepwise! 2. Ted demos this by playing “Home on the Range” (1:11). Smooth! 3. Cesar asks for examples of F#m7 to Bb7 (Oops!). It is really Fm7 to Bb7 with added “sprinkles”, I mean, extensions (2:45). Yum! 4. Ted plays the song “Tea for Two”, demonstrating voice leading from chord to chord (3:12) Ted ends by saying “I said as much as I can say tonight!” What? That is a lot for one lesson! Yes, “Jazz-Blues”, Parts 1 & 2 AND “Voice Leading” were all one lesson! What more can you ask for out of a one-hour lesson with a guitar great like Ted for only $25? Yes, Ted charged a price he felt made him accessible to everyone who desired to take lessons from him. What a saint! Your price? Your diligent application of these valuable concepts. Thank your lucky stars the “Y2K Bug” did not eat video cameras for a snack at the stroke of midnight, January 1st, 2000. Now go make this a part of your musical toolbox!
