Its a term that originated in jazz. It means transitioning to the next chord by playing a melodic run, arpeggio, lead, etc. One example most of us have heard is the bluegrass G run.

Strummers may simply change chords with no lead in at all. When I play fingerstyle I don't think it's possible to not "play the changes."
