Ive been working on just this thing. I play sometimes with a guy who cant-wont play anything less than full 6 string chords and it drives me nuts...
Sometimes its helpful to listen to multiple guitar songs thru headphones...the early Eagles or Buffalo Springfield for instance...and try to follow what one guitar does thru the song..alot of those older recordings had alot of separation so adjusting the balance helps bring out one part over another...its really neat how simple parts...singles notes or double stops can combine....learn a bunch of them...alot of those parts are transferable...so the sliding 3rds-6ths thing over a I-IV you copped off an Eagles album will likely fit somewhere else without sounding like a direct quote...
Leon had some great suggestions...and sometimes hitting the chord and letting it ring is the best thing you can do..a little phase-tremelo-chorus, etc and you got a nifty part without stepping all over the other players
