In the example below, we can see that all of the notes from the chords belong to C Major. However, rather than playing all of the notes from C Major over each chord, we can limit ourselves to or emphasize those that belong to the current chord.

== Chord soloing ==
A popular soloing method in jazz is a '''chord solo'''. It is particularly effective when there is no rhythm guitar or piano to fill in the harmony, particularly extended "jazz" chords. It uses a combination of melody lines and chords to create the solo. Some notes of the chord may be sustained while others are moved as a melody. Alternate voicings of the chord may be used to follow the energy of the solo or allow easier manipulation of melody lines. Not all chords may be played - sometimes the melody may simply accent the chord's root or an important voice of the chord not being played by another instrument.
