Ted Greene Teaches “Our Love Is Here To Stay” Accompaniment 03/19/97 - Part 1

As a follow-up to the previous lesson I posted last September, Ted continues with the Gershwin classic “Our Love Is Here To Stay”, part one, focusing on accompaniment. Part two to this lesson will be posted soon, so please be patient and stay tuned. Video Credits: Cesar Pineda 03/19/97 Here’s a brief summary for part one: 1. The difference between comping and accompaniment as behind a singer. 2. The differences between cut-time and swing. 3. Walking chords (play a chord on each beat) similar to walking bass. 4. Half step approach with the bass and chords. 5. Adding extra chords via approach chords. 6. Borrowed chord concept (5 additional or “borrowed” roots within the key). 7. Defining terms and concepts regarding the key center. Don’t you love the way Ted teaches? The bass is “having a conversation” and cut-time as conveying “happiness”. He’s makes music so personable!
