          After an informal inventory of the files posted in the “LESSONS” section of the TedGreene.com site, we determined that there were “some” files that needed attention – either because they needed cleaning up (straightening, removing dirt, fixing yellow spots, improving the size/dpi, or just getting a clearer scanned copy), or they needed “translation/transcription” pages or music notation because they might be too difficult for people to follow/understand. Some pages needed to be relocated, and some with multiple pages needed to be combined.  
          We’ll be posting these regularly as “Lesson File Upgrades” separately from the monthly Newsletter/New Items. They’ll be flagged with a blue "UPGRADED" star next to the file name. We’ll be making announcements to those subscribed to our Advance Updates list, as well as in the Forums, Ted Greene Facebook page and Twitter feed. You can also bookmark this page to check regularly for new upgrades. 
          If you have your own collection of Ted Greene Lesson files, you’ll probably want to swap the old files for the new ones. We’ll be letting you know exactly what we do – the name of the previously posted file, as well as the new one. New batches of upgrades will be posted above the previous batch listed by date of upgrade. 
	
	
	
          
          UPGRADES: OCTOBER 16, 2019 
          For our October 2019 installment of the “Lesson File Upgrades” we have 4 new files to replace 6 files that were previous posted.  Two are for the “Arrangements” section, one for the “Chord Studies” section, and one for the “Other” section under the “Harp-Harmonics” header.  The harp-harmonics file is 3 pages that were combined onto one file. 
          Below is the list of what was done as far as the file names are concerned:           
          ----- 
          In the Arrangements section: 
          America the Beautiful 
            Danny Boy (Londonderry Air) 
          “America the Beautiful” was posted in the Arrangements section years ago, and somehow got deleted or lost in the shuffle.  So, even though there’s no file that this one is replacing, it’s still a “restore and upgrade.” 
           
          ----- 
          In the Chord Studies section: 
          Using m7b5 Types in iim7b5 - V7 - i Progressions  
             
          -----           
          In the Other section under the “Harp-Harmonics” header: 
          Old files: 
          Harp Harmonics - Technique and Sustained Scales Pg.1 
            Harp Harmonics - Technique and Sustained Scales Pg.2 
            Harp Harmonics - Technique and Sustained Scales Pg.3 
          New file: 
          Harp-Harmonics - Technique and Sustained Scales 
          Ted’s grids were imported into new pages, spaced out, straightened out, cleaned up, and made more legible.  This was a lot of work…all so you don’t have to strain your eyes. Enjoy! 
          ----- 
          That’s it for the 30th and final batch of upgrades.  Download and replace these files in your  collection. Please post any comments in the Forums HERE.

          UPGRADES: JUNE 10, 2019 
          For our June 2019 installment of the “Lesson File Upgrades” we have 10 new files to replace 6 files that were previous posted ones in our “Chord Studies” section.  We’ve upgraded them by providing a cleaner copy of the original file, added standard notation combined with Ted’s grid diagrams, and for some added the missing dots and names for the blank grids.  You’ll find that these lessons are now more approachable and easier to read and comprehend.  The “ii-V7-I” file was separated into 5 distinct pages, so you can focus on one concept at a time. 
          Below is the list of what was done as far as the file names are concerned:           
          -----

          UPGRADES: MAY 16, 2019 
          For our May 2019 installment of the “Lesson File Upgrades” we have 5 new files to replace 8 files that were previous posted ones in our “Chord Studies” section.  We’ve upgraded them by providing a cleaner copy of the original file, added standard notation combined with Ted’s grid diagrams.  You’ll find that these lessons are now more approachable and easier to read and comprehend.  We also combined a few of these pages, so it’ll seem like we deleted more titles than we replaced.  Not so. 
          We’ve also swapped the previously posted version of “Melancholy Serenade” with a new corrected.  This was the arrangement-of-the-month for our last Newsletter.  (Thanks to Dave Anno for reporting the typos.)

We’ve upgraded and renamed them, and moved three of them to the “Chord Studies” section. We added standard notation to Ted’s grid diagrams to make reading and learning easier. The file in the “Baroque” section had a few incorrect chord names on page 1. (Thanks to Stephan DiFonzo for reporting these typos.)

          For our December 2018 installment of the “Lesson File Upgrades” we have 5 new files to replace 6 previous posted files in the Chord Studies section. We’ve upgraded, renamed, and relocated most of them. Three files for “Chord Hearts” were combined to one file, and the “3-Note Chord Hearts and Chord Fragments - Minor 7th Types” file was divided into two separate files..

            Major Chord Hearts 
           
          For all of the files we added standard notation to Ted’s grid diagrams, and for the Chord Hearts files we provided a general description of what believe he was doing in these lessons. (Ted never defined in writing what he meant by “Chord Hearts.”)

          UPGRADES: APRIL 13, 2018 
          For our April 2018 installment of the “Lesson File Upgrades” we have 6 upgraded files to add. Four of the upgrades are in the “Blues” section, one for the “Chord Studies” section, and 1 for the “Single-Note Soloing” section. We also deleted a duplicate/redundant copy of three files that were incorrectly placed in the “Blues” section.

          These 3 files were previously written up with notation and correctly posted in the Chord Studies section (since they are not “blues” studies). They are all combined on one file, named: 
          Major Pentatonic (Parts 1-3) 2 Voices 2-to-1 
Also in the Blues section, we wrote up and moved the following file: 
          Modern Dominant Progressions 
          This has now been added to the Chord Studies section and renamed as: 
          Outlining Modern Dominant Progressions  
          Again, in the Blues section, we wrote up and moved the following file: 
          Multi-position Blues Runs 
          This has now been added to the Single-Note Soloing section and renamed as: 
          Multi-Position Blues Run 
          Now for the upgrades in the Blues section, these 4 files all have new versions and been renamed. 
          Old names: 
            Blues - Key of F 
            Harmonic Vocabulary and Progressions  
            Modern Dominant Flavored Blues 
            Modern Jazz-Blues Progressions 
          New Listing names: 
            Blues in F (Upper Register Modern Voicings) 
            The Blues:  Harmonic Vocabulary and Progressions

          UPGRADES: JUNE 14, 2017 
          Here we have our seventh batch of “Lesson File Upgrades” for the TedGreene.com Lessons section. This month we have 14 “upgrades” all in the “Arrangements” section plus one new one: “They Can’t Take That Away from Me” (arrangement sketch & roadmap), which had previously been combined with the full arrangement of the same title. 
          If you’ve ever struggled to interpret Ted’s chord diagrams and figure out how they relate to the song at hand, these new upgrades should help to answer those questions.  They include standard notation with the song’s lyrics, combined with Ted’s diagrams.  (If you haven’t read this article – How to Read Ted Greene Chord Diagrams – you might also find it helpful.)

          UPGRADES: APRIL 24, 2017 
          Here’s the fifth batch of “Lesson File Upgrades” for the TedGreene.com Lessons section. This month, we’re again focusing mainly on upgrading the lessons in the “Arrangement” section. As before, you’ll notice that most of the upgraded lesson pages now have included with Ted’s original page a standard notation page, or a notation + grids version for each one.  A couple also have added to them Ted’s handwritten lead sheet, and any related files he made for that piece. We hope you’ll find these new write-ups to be easy to read. As usual, you’ll probably want to swap these new files with the older ones in your collection. 
          
          For the Arrangements section, we changed the following files:

            Autumn Leaves (key of Fm) 
            Bluesette (key of Bb - with Bass-Enhanced Triads) 
          And we’ve added this one which was posted a few years ago but was accidently removed: 
            My Foolish Heart           
          In the Chord Studies section, this file:: 
            Chord Color/Placement_A Foggy Day 
          Was renamed as: 
            A Foggy Day – A Study in Color and Placement 
           
          The new upgraded files, Listing Names:

          We moved the file: 
            Autumn Leaves (Harmonization Sketch) 
            from the “Arrangements” section into the “Chord Studies” section. 
          And we’ve moved the “Voice-Leading” header (and all the files in it) from the “Harmony & Theory” section to the “Chord Studies” section.

          Here’s the third batch of LFU (“Lesson File Upgrades”) for the TedGreene.com Lessons section.

So we’re making some progress on this overhaul process. 
          You’ll notice that most of the upgraded lesson pages now have included with Ted’s original page a standard notation page, or a notation + grids version for each one. A few of them have simply been renamed for clarity. As usual, you’ll probably want to swap these new files with the older ones in your collection.

          UPGRADES: JANUARY 5, 2017 
          Here’s the second batch of Lesson File Upgrades for the Lessons section. This bunch is focused mostly on the “Blues” and the “Single-Note Soloing” sections. For the “Blues” files we added to Ted’s original sheets a notation + grids version for each one, and renamed a few of them for clarity. In the Single-Note Soloing” section we upgraded a few to include new notation, provided better quality scan copies, and renamed them to match the titles that Ted gave them. As usual, you will probably want to swap these new files with the older ones in your collection. 
          For the Blues section, we replaced the following files: 
          
            Previous Listing Names: 
            Uptown Blues 
            Walkin’ With Wes #1 
            Walkin’ With Wes #2 
            Walkin’ With Wes #3 
            Walking Bass Jumpback Blues (1989-10-09) 
            Walking Chord Blues (1986-04-20) 
            Walking Chord Blues (1989-07-11) 
          The new upgraded files, Listing Names: 
            Uptown Blues 
            Walkin’ With Wes #1 
            Walkin’ With Wes #2 
            Walkin’ With Wes #3 
            Walking Bass Jumpback Blues (key of F#) 
            Walking Chord Blues (key of Bb) 
            Walking Chord Blues (key of E) 
          For the Comping section we upgraded these files to include notation + grids: 
          Manhã de Carnaval 
            I’ll Remember April 
          In the Single-Note Soloing section we made a few changes: 
          First, we moved this file from the “Jazz” section into the “Single-Note Soloing” section, and combined it with a new notation page: 
          Previous Listing Name (in the “Jazz” section): 
            ii7 V7 I Single Line Runs 
          The new upgraded file, now in the “Single-Note Soloing” section is listed as: 
            ii7-V7-I (Single Note Lines) 
          Also in the “Single-Note Soloing” we upgraded these files and renamed them: 
          Previous Listing Name: 
            Altered Dominant Color_1 
            Major Scales_Adding Spice 
            Melodic Patterns (11 pages) 
          The new upgraded files, Listing Names: 
            Applying Altered Dominant Color 
            Adding Spice to Major Scales 
            Melodic Patterns (1978) 
          And finally, in the “Single-Note Soloing” section we deleted the following files: 
          Major Chord Runs_1 
            Major Chord Runs_2 
            Major Chord Runs_3 
            Major Chord Runs_4 
            Major Chord Runs_5 
            Major Chord Runs_6 
            Major Chord Runs_7 
          All of these pages are published in Ted’s Single-Note Soloing Vol. I book (pages 11-33), and the presentation there is much better than the original hard-to-read sheets.  If you don’t have that book you might want to think about getting a copy – there’s a lot of great information there! 
          That's it for this batch. If you have questions, contact us through the forum, our Facebook page or by email at support@tedgreene.com.

            Approach Chord Blues (key of F, variation #3) 
          In the Fundamentals section we made the following swap: 
          Previous List Name: 
            Intervals (11MB download) 
          New file: 
            Intervals 
          The new version is a reduced size file (now just over 2MB) – nothing else has changed, so you may decide to keep the larger size file. 
          In the Harmony & Theory section please note the following change: 
          Original files: 
            Harmonization ii7-V7-I pg 1 
            Harmonization ii7-V7-I pg 2 
            Harmonization ii7-V7-I pg 3 
          These 3 files have now been combined onto one file, and we’ve moved it to the Chord Studies section and named it: 
          ii7-V7-I Harmonization Studies 
          In the OTHER section we swapped this file: 
          Tonality: A Taste of Tonality Types 
          With a new upgraded version and renamed it as: 
          A Taste of Tonality Types 
          Also in the OTHER section we upgraded a file that was posted twice: 
          Previously listed as: 
            Favorite Rhythmic Figures for Melodies (1981-07-11) 
            Favorite Rhythmic Figures (Mainly Traditional) 
          And replaced it with this one: 
            Favorite Rhythmic Figures for Melodies 
          In the Single-Note Soloing section these two files: 
          Arpeggio Fragments_1 
            Arpeggio Fragments_2 
          Were combined and upgraded and are now listed as: 
          Arpeggio Fragments 
          In the Arrangements section, “Classical” area, we had two entries for Bach’s “Sleepers Awake.” 
          We removed this redundant file: 
          Bach - Sleepers Awake 
           
          That's it for this batch. If you have questions, contact us through the forum, our Facebook page or by email at support@tedgreene.com.
