    Good examples of comping in a Jazz Guitar Duo. (Video Examples of good comping in a Jazz guitar duo.)

    To my ears, Howard Alden is a good example of comping in a guitar duo. IMHO.

    Trefor Owen is fantastic at comping in a Jazz Guitar duo, such a driving force with exceptional time. Below, here he is playing with Martin Taylor.

    There is an album of Joe Pass and John Pisano playing together that features some amazing back-and-forth between these two old friends, as well as some outstanding comping from both.

    Martin Taylor and Louis Stewart did some great stuff together. Good examples of walking chords.

    A different kind of duo but Joe Pass with Ella is a masterclass

    I think here they play The Days of Wine and Roses at about 15:00.
    I really like Frisell counterpoint approach, he plays almost nothing but you still feel it is there.

    Vic is a super underrated accompanist … his duos with his wife are incredible as well.

    Not sure this video is the best example (it's just the first one that came up on a youtube search) but I always liked the way Bobby Rose comped behind Pat Martino.



    I saw them live a couple of times in 1977. Really sensitive support from Mr. Rose.
