This looks like a lot of great info. Thanks again!
I've got more work to do. Maybe another 40 years of playing, and I can start to approach this type of level.
Or, maybe that's just wishful thinking, on my part. LOL
"now i dream about tone, day dream about tone, think about tone at work, think about tone when im taking a dump, musiciansfriend and vintage guitar mag right next to the toilet....its getting weird"
The really cool thing about TG is that there's some really "bone simple" stuff that you can apply to the most basic 3 chord tunes. Check in the Lessons Section under "Baroque". Great voice leading stuff. Remember, Ted loved rock and pop music. In fact, he absolutely hated being called a "jazz" guitar player. Too limiting.

So true! I totrally dig the idea of using a chord shape let's say an A major and finding the other notes of that A chord on those same strings on the fretboard... I made a template on pdf that I print and use to work those out with hi-liters and it makes a lot of sense to do it visually on paper to me then trying them out. That approahc alone was worth the price of the Chord Chemistry book I bought. I know I barely scratched the surface of that book and that I'll get a lot of it through the years.
Usually the better stuff is quite simple to figure out and once you click it's sticks with you forever.
ted's books are really great- i have the two volumes of chord chemistry- highly recommended- very straight-forward and easy to pull things out that are useful.
