Absolutely you can use two more voicings to solo, double stop hits on the two strings on the and of 2 and 4. You can use one note Freddie green style on the 4th string or a like a counter melody with...

Two note comping?

Thank yas. Should be a fun and very productive Autumn.

That right there describes some of the best methods for learning to play jazz because it reflects the reality of performing with others in real time (but you'll want to include "transing the chords"...

Transcriging entire solos then moving on to the next one?
