Hi Brian, You’re welcome. Thanks for telling me what song it was. I would also recommend just comping to your favourite standards the way Brenden explains* in the proficiency course to “Just Friends” (I think in the proficiency test). *i.e. comp with (left hand) the root in the bass and (right hand) rootless voicings. Try some swing and syncopated rhythms and play around with skipping the first beat (which makes the music drive forward). You can delay the middle notes and anticipate the first beat to make different rhythms and include tripplets. You will do very well!
