Ted Greene, 1980

Transcription by Anders Hagstrom

This transcription of Ted playing Antonio Carlos Jobim*s tune Meditation, is from a recording that was

made during a private lesson with Nick Stasinos in 1980. The recording is available in the Audio section of

website here: audio/audio - Lessons with Nick Stasinos

Be sure to listen to it before you attempt to play this transcription. Ted also wrote a basic chord-melody

arrangement for this tune that you might first want to learn before you tackle this ※advanced§ version.

Meditation 每 Ted Greene Arrangement, 1977-02-22

Ted*s playing on this recording is just stunning. It*s packed with fills, moving bass lines, rhythmic punches

etc. Ted also had his own way of ending songs, and this is no exception. Just when you think it cannot get

much better Ted begins to play through the cycle of fourths and then ends with a beautiful contrary-motion

move.

If you study this piece, you will have lots of tricks and ideas that you can use in other songs. Just take it very

slowly and go through a few bars at a time until you have mastered them. Focus on the difficult parts. The

only way to play a piece like this (or any piece) effortless, is to not make mistakes while practicing. So take

your time, because it is worth it in the end.

I have added chord diagrams above the notation. Use them for reference and visualization purposes. You

may want to move some chords to different string sets if that*s more comfortably for you.

Fingering suggestions:

? Measure 1-6 (intro): The Abmaj7 chord in measure 6 can either be played using George Van Esp

5th finger technique (1 4 3 2 1) or you can use your thumb to fret the low Ab.

? Measure 7: In order to perform this fill, you must fret the low C with your 3rd finger and use a 1st

finger barre across the 5th fret. Ted repeats this idea in measure 23 and 45.

? Measure 17: I find it easiest to play the bass line with just my 2nd finger and hold the Fm7 chord

with my 1st and 3rd finger. Alternatively, you can fret the top notes as 1, 4, 1 and play the bass line

with your 2nd and 3rd finger.

? Measure 31: Play the Dm and then hammer-on from G to A with your 3rd finger. Roll your 2nd

finger across the G and B string to get the notes C# and F. Try to hold a 1st finger barre across 5th

fret. The ※Finger Rolling Technique§ is frequently used in this arrangement.

? Measure 63-64: The chords in the third round of the turnaround are very nice. Try to play only the

bottom two notes with the top note if they are too difficult.

? Measure 65 (ending): I have added fingering suggestion to the single-note line in the first two bars.

Hold a barre across 8th fret. This way you can start the line while the C note is ringing.

I hope that you will learn something from this transcription.
