What do most guitarists spend 95% of their time practising? Soloing.
What do most guitarists spend 95% of their time doing on stage? Accompanying.
And yet guitarists make drummer jokes!
OK, I know that there are very few good resources to learn comping, but the game has changed with Robert Conti’s latest DVD / Book - The Comping Expo.
Robert Conti has about 30 DVD’s on the market, and I think that this may well be his best. Clear, insightful, and fun instruction on what is probably the most important yet most neglected facet of guitar playing.
You can read my full review of the Comping Expo in the next issue of Just Jazz Guitar, but rather than make you wait I have posted a mini-review on my web site here: http://davewalkermusic.com/page4/CompingExpo_Review.html
