In this video, I discuss some tips on how to comp jazz chords while playing with a singer. It is sometimes hard not to step on their toes and stay in time but there are things you can do to make sure you stay locked while playing something interesting. Also, what do you do when a piano player is already comping the chords? I have some great tips for that situation as well. And, if you have never heard of the 100% rule... make sure to stick around to the end! It's eye-opening knowledge for every guitar player. Thanks for watching, and let me know if you have a comment of question!
If you want to take an even deeper dive into jazz guitar comping then try my lessons on at the Guitar College Library. I walk you through everything step-by-step, very slow and explain things more in-depth than here on YouTube. Most of my lessons there are 30 to 45 minutes as compared to just a few minutes long here on YouTube!

Also, I have hundreds of other lessons for guitar players who like Jazz, Blues, Bebop, and Fingerstyle guitar arrangements. There are also a lot of lessons on guitar technique and guitar scales along with exercises meant to build your chops. Check them all out here: https://guitarcollegelibrary.com/
