When playing 251 jazz chords on guitar, you can use the tonic major scale to connect each chord when playing solo or in a jazz combo. Play the iim7 chord, then use the tonic scale to connect that chord to the V7. Then, play the V7 chord and use the tonic major scale to connect that shape to the Imaj7 chord. This is a fun way to connect jazz guitar chords and add melodies to your jazz comping. #jazzguitarist #guitarist #jazzguitar #guitarjazz #jazzchords #jazzcomping #sologuitar #jazzriffs | Matt
