Jazz Ukulele - Comping a.k.a. Accompaniment
Comping or accompaniment is simply the art of playing along and supporting with a melody with a chord background.
The style of music determines the rhythmic patterns used. A Bossa Nova pattern would be different than a cut time then would be different that a Jazz Waltz.
The Songs area of the site has a section on learning the patterns and elements of various popular styles.
