[Harp-L] what to do during the guitar solo

[Garry Hodgson <garry@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

as i'm starting to play with other people, i could use a little
advice about what to do when i'm not soloing.  that is, how
to acompany well.  when the guitarist is soloing, should i not
play at all?  or play occasional accents?  quiet rhythm patterns,
following what the drummer and bass are playing?  octaves
following the chord progression?  or what?

there was some mention a while back of playing behind the guitar, 
but i got no explanation of what that meant.

i'd really appreciate any advice, tips, exercises, useful mindsets,
whatever, that anyone could give me.  give me something to work 
on come jam night.

thanks
