Lenny Breau has a book called Fingerstyle Guitar, there is also a book called Visions about Lenny and his technique that is also good.

I just read over at the blues grass forum. Seems those 3rds and 7ths are looked after there as well.
"Also we have followed the old time fiddle band device of letting the "off" chords, seven flat chords and minors, happen in the melody lines, not in the rhythm section."-John Hartford

Check out the master of comping - Herb Ellis. He shows how to use 2, 3, and 4 note chords in a fantastic way which allows the guitar to stay out of the way of the other members of the group, yet still get the essential harmonic information across.

I like the Barry Galbraith "Jazz Guitar Comping", or could be called Comping for Jazz Guitar (I got my copy 30 years ago and the cover has turned to dust, the pages are yellow, and it still challenges me.)
Some excellent studies in this book whick came with a record when I got it. If it is still in print I guess it would be CD now.

Check this video out. A quick lesson on the subject. its Lorne Lofsky- a Canadian who has a genuine hard on for Bill Evans. One of my buddys was saying he was doing the slow jerk to one of Bill's tunes in his shop class at york u. Bitch'n guitar player. Try and find a version of his Very Early, blows my mind everytime.
