Voice leading is basically the term for moving linearly through chord changes. Seeing how the note you’re currently playing relates to the next chord and moving by only whole or half steps to reflect an appropriate note for the next chord. This is how improvisors thread a line through changes without jumping around every time a chord changes. No matter where we are, we are either on or very near a great note choice for the next chord.
