if he's got let's say straight 16th or 32 notes charging in a long string towards the downbeat, be careful. you should probably lay back anyway, something very backgroundy.And yes. You have to guess sometimes what he's going to do. Frequently after a long phrase a good accompanist will repeat what was just played, also.
At around 3 min. You can anticipate 1 with the and of 4, but you have to be careful not to step on the soloist when you do. you can't beat the soloist to the resolution of a line. The drummer has more freedom to do that. You also have to mix it up. Can't do it too much or you lose the syncopation. The flip side of that is, if you hit too many downbeats, the mustic will always sound like it's dragging. But you need to keep the music honest by slamming a downbeat now and then.
@chavruta2000 What do you mean by "can't beat the soloist to the resolution of a line"? You mean I should guess when his phrase will end and not play at that time..?
I like your tone. I'd be interested in knowing what woods your guitar is made of.
