This is a good page of chord rhythms adaptable for the mandolin. Many of them would work well when sharing rhythm with a guitar.

A reminder that we shouldn't "only" play chop chords!
Actually, the old timers [including Monroe] didn't chop nearly as much as most people think.
Who wants a snare drum banging away in a ballad?
Very nice! Thanks for posting. In particular, I like Rhythm 3 which I could see using a lot.
What works is something you can only find out in playing. Use your earsQuote:

Well, this thread is about jazz, not the "old timers". And how does the snare drum enter a discussion about rhythm mandolin?Quote:

Of course. I didn't say you must use these without adapting them.Quote:
