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 ears
Oddly the chord forms in the first few examples are rooted -- in jazz you normally leave that to the bass player (and, on mandolin, of course, the root is normally below the range of the instrument). The Freddie Green example doesn't sound like Green at all. His beat was more even and I don't think you can replicate that featherlight feel on an electric.
