The recording, which was originally released in 1977 on PMP Records contains no "over dubbing" (multiple track recording). Guitar virtuoso Steve Vai has praised Greene's musical knowledge and perceptiveness on this recording, stating that Greene "...is totally in touch with the potential of harmonic constructions" which allows him to create an "...organic and inspired listening delight." Ted Greene-"Solo Guitar" Art of Life AL1011-2 Josh Gordon from Just Jazz Guitar Magazine stated that the recording has a "...feeling of perfect proportion" and a "full spectrum of emotion and harmonic vision." Steven Rosenberg from the Los Angeles Daily Newspaper stated that "Greene managed to raise the bar for solo guitar." Ted Greene-"Solo Guitar" Art of Life AL1011-2 Greene helped Fender design a 1952 Telecaster vintage reissue (their first such reissue) by making reference to his collection of old Telecasters, Broadcasters and Nocasters. Greene died in his apartment in Encino, of a heart attack at age 58. Over 700 of his friends, former students and other musicians attended his memorial. Ted is survived by his long time life partner and soulmate, Barbara Franklin who is organizing and archiving his written notes on music and guitar playing.
