Supporting the soloist?????.............????? PLEASE HELP ME!!!!!

What I do, is wwat SOJ suggested. Play along with youtube clips that you havent seen before. This will help you learn to play for soloist that you havent played for before

I have done this before but at this stage in my life.......I don't have immediate access to both at the same time. Great practice tips though.

i know im 8 months late but when i play behind a soloist i learned that if you try to follow them and you dont know the song its harder to pick up the pattern to the song so i just let them sing and the next time around i get them but i put them in key first. The key to following is to know the song and accompany not lead and your slightly behind the soloist until you there is silence and/or you bring them to the next part of the song. The soloist and the musician should work together!!!

I recorded the piano part to this video. I already knew the songs this singer was singing. It can be difficult when the singer start singing licks. Its something you will learn to feel over time.
