Ted Greene – “It Had to Be You” Comping Lesson (1994)
The TedGreene.com Archives is happy to release this short video of Ted giving a lesson to Brian Totten for playing accompaniment for the classic jazz standard, “It Had to Be You.” In this 1994 lesson Ted explains the jazz harmony and chord progressions of the song. Though the video is only 6:08 in length and unfortunately the camera pops in and out of focus several times, we think you’ll easily be able to see what he’s doing and will find it helpful. ** Please Support the Official Archive at https://tedgreene.support ** Ted did not write up a comping lesson for this song, but in 1989 he wrote a wonderful arrangement of it for his students. It can be found for free download on the TedGreene.com website in the Lessons/Arrangements section: https://www.tedgreene.com/images/less... Thanks to Brian Totten for recording and sharing this video with the community. Enjoy! © Copyright 2026 TedGreene.com.
