In the full big band, their is always a piano player comping or guitar player comping, i'm currently reading off of piano charts, but I don't know what to really play over top of piano and guitar. Someone told me to play 3's and 7's of the chords, what is your opinion on this? also for the combo, what kind of thing should i play when the piano is comping, if hes soloing i take it i should comp. also its hard reading the piano scores for certain shots and melody licks when they go outside of the vibe range. thanks a lot! -------------------- Percussion Performance Major at University of Lethbridge Alberta, Teacher : Adam Mason Post Extras
