I found barry galbraiths comping book to be pretty helpful, it doesn't talk about voicings at all, just has different comping studies over standard changes

and what i love about his voicings are they are very practical and useful on all string sets, nothing too "outside" which is perfect for just getting into basic comping.
Another thing I like to add with comping is the notion that someone should be able to transcribe a chorus of your comping, and arrange it for other instruments, this means that it needs to always have good, in the pocket rhythm, and clear harmony. Imagine arranging your comping for a sax quartet or something, would you be able to hear clear harmonies and rhythms? this is of course beyond the necessary function of supporting the soloist, or band etc.
Alright, thanks. Are we talking about this book? https://www.amazon.com/Barry-Galbraith-Comping-Play-Long/dp/1562240404
