I love Ted Greene too much, so I I try to stay away from him. He infects my playing.
Some time ago, I was goofing around trying out an acoustic guitar in a shop. I was playing a composition I was working on (and never finished) which was inspired by some things on John McLaughlin's Extrapolation album and the Herbie Hancock Maiden Voyage album. I wasn't really paying attention to my surroundings, just playing quietly minding my own business--Ted Greene was the furthest thing from my mind.
Then this guy appeared and asked if he could play along with what I was playing. He was intimidatingly good, way, way, way better than me. When I wound things down, he smiled and said, "You really love Ted Greene, don't you?"\
Agggghhhh!!!!!! No, no, no, no!
