1

00:00:00,266  -->  00:00:02,727
D minor Jazz, 2 Handed Comping.
2

2

00:00:02,727  -->  00:00:05,211
Comping comes from the word accompanying.
3

3

00:00:05,211  -->  00:00:06,883
That can refer to two things.
4

4

00:00:06,883  -->  00:00:09,390
One, accompanying yourself,
just what you've been doing.
5

5

00:00:09,390  -->  00:00:17,924
[MUSIC]
6

6

00:00:17,924  -->  00:00:19,247
Or if you wanted to sing along.
7

7

00:00:19,247  -->  00:00:21,465
And number two, accompanying someone else.
8

8

00:00:21,465  -->  00:00:25,632
So this is where you lay down a chordal
background over which another musician
9

9

00:00:25,632  -->  00:00:29,046
plays the melody or the improvisation or
somebody is singing.
10

10

00:00:29,046  -->  00:00:31,088
This is what you're going to try now.
11

11

00:00:31,088  -->  00:00:35,984
You're gonna switch back to playing the
four note chords in your right hand, but
12

12

00:00:35,984  -->  00:00:37,648
keep them around middle C.
13

13

00:00:37,648  -->  00:00:42,501
[SOUND] We've already tried this
with A minor caterpillar exercise.
14

14

00:00:42,501  -->  00:00:48,840
[MUSIC]
15

15

00:00:48,840  -->  00:00:49,443
Do you remember?
16

16

00:00:49,443  -->  00:00:59,443
[MUSIC]
17

17

00:01:04,709  -->  00:01:06,405
So let's try three more comping rhythms.
18

18

00:01:06,405  -->  00:01:07,984
First of all, find the chords.
19

19

00:01:07,984  -->  00:01:10,688
So you're only going to play the first
two chords at the top of the page.
20

20

00:01:10,688  -->  00:01:16,667
So [SOUND] the first one is D minor 7,
middle, so D minor middle with the 7.
21

21

00:01:16,667  -->  00:01:21,249
Next one is everything up one,
E minor middle 7.
22

22

00:01:21,249  -->  00:01:23,884
Just lock that shape.
23

23

00:01:23,884  -->  00:01:26,752
[MUSIC]
24

24

00:01:26,752  -->  00:01:29,080
And the first rhythm you're just going
to play a D on the left, and that's all.
25

25

00:01:29,080  -->  00:01:31,460
But with both chords.
26

26

00:01:31,460  -->  00:01:36,034
[MUSIC]
27

27

00:01:36,034  -->  00:01:38,414
So rhythm one.
28

28

00:01:38,414  -->  00:01:48,414
[MUSIC]
29

29

00:02:01,030  -->  00:02:02,492
Rhythm two.
30

30

00:02:02,492  -->  00:02:04,396
Notice that the left
hand's going from a D.
31

31

00:02:04,396  -->  00:02:08,157
[SOUND] Can also go down
to the D if you want.
32

32

00:02:08,157  -->  00:02:18,157
[MUSIC]
33

33

00:02:26,234  -->  00:02:29,612
So you can imagine somebody
playing over the top of that.
34

34

00:02:29,612  -->  00:02:32,688
Number three with a Latin swing.
35

35

00:02:32,688  -->  00:02:34,650
The left hand's going
to give the Latin feel.
36

36

00:02:34,650  -->  00:02:44,650
