Blues Comping #3: The Man From Toledo (Benson)

This blues tune with a straight feel comes from the "Benson Burner" record by George Benson and friends. I feel it is a great example of a "less is more" approach to comping that actually adds to the groove of the tune.

Because the comping is so sparse I have added in the head of the tune as well.

Here are the shapes followed by some additional ideas you might try.

And finally groove on with George on the original track, key is G.
