Thought u guys might like this simple exercise that mixes all inversions by changing one note at a time, it let's you see which notes each triad has in common. It's for all triads in C for strings GBD. Do it up and down. You'll have to figure out the other sting sets and keys on your own.
0--0--0--1--1--1--3--3--3--5--5--5--7--7--7--8--8--8--10-10-10-12
0--1--1--1--3--3--3--5--5--5--6--6--6--8--8--8-10-10-10-12-12-12
0--0--2--2--2--4--4--4--5--5--5--7--7--7--9--9--9-10-10-10-12-12

The true reality of a "comp" is playing with others. It's a conversational "call and response kind of thing. You don't talk over the top of people, you listen and interject at the right time.
It's possible to keep moving your left hand through the chord shapes without dipping the right hand into the strings. Scat sing your solo, as you scat sing keeping the melody in mind. Dip the right hand into the chords at appropriate times in your scat sung solo. Comp for yourself.
