Not true all the time. Playing solo guitar chord melody style allows for
those beautiful full six and seven string chords......
But as far as comping goes less is usually more (3rds and 7ths) give the
soloist plenty room to breath.

Most definitely, Bill. I believe we were talking about playing in a big
band environment, with the assumption that the guitar was acting solely as
an accompaniment instrument. Chord melody work using only short chords
would certainly be a bit too sparse, eh? ;-)
