Crazy (Movie)
Inspired by the life of Hank Garland,
CRAZY is the story of a legendary guitar player who
emerged from Nashville in the 1950’s. Blessed with incomparable,
natural talent, Hank quickly established his reputation as the finest
sessions player in Nashville. Artists such as Roy Orbison, Patsy
Cline, The Everly Brothers and Elvis all sought Hank’s brilliant play
for their recordings. Moving effortlessly from country, to
rock-a-billy, to jazz, Hank was also quickly recognized by the likes
of Dave Bruebeck, Gary Burton, Joe Morello and Joe Benjamin.

Barry Greene

Ted Greene
( 1946 - 2005 )
Links
Ted Greene was renowned world wide as the author of “Chord Chemistry,” one of the most in-depth studies of chord harmony & theory ever published for guitar. Ted was also a brilliant, innovative and diverse guitarist capable of playing dazzling solos from jazz to neo-Baroque improvisation. Yet his chosen and most beloved path was as a teacher. He was highly sought out for his insightful and instinctive gifts in this area. As a testimony to his teaching abilities, for many years there remained a long list of guitarists waiting for an opening in his schedule.
Ted was born in Los Angeles, Calif. on Sept. 26, 1946 but grew up primarily in White Plains, N.Y. where he spent most of his early musically formative years. During this time he was exposed to everything from Gershwin and show tunes at home, to rhythm & blues in the city. In 1957 at age 11 his father bought him his first guitar. Shortly afterwards he began lessons, used various guitar books and learned to read music.
