A great place to bridge the gap between listening and playing jazz chordal melody is to basically trade fours with yourself, and a metronome. Start the metronome around 45bm half-time and play through the melody. Begin a chorus with four bars of improvisation and then comp for four bars. Rinse and repeat. Doing this will instill an unwavering sense of time and rhythm. It's harder to keep time and count without a rhythm section. Then start to integrate chords into your melodies.

I assume that you play with a pick. Check this album out. Chord solos played with a pick. Give it a listen. Bridge the gap.

Frank Portolese is a guitarist and teacher from Chicago.
