Notes:

* “Comping (an abbreviation of accompanying - or possibly from the verb, to complement) is a term used in music to describe the chords, rhythms, and countermelodies that guitar players use to support solos or melody lines.” Wikipedia https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comping.

** ”Voice leading is the smooth movement of the notes (or voices) from one chord to the next, and it applies to any type of voicing. The art of connecting chord to chord in the smoothest manner possible. Each voice in the texture is led from one pitch to the next in a way that forms a pleasing melodic line while producing in consort with the other voices a pleasing succession of harmonies.” Wikipedia https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Voice_leading.
