Tosin has a real mastery for extended jazz chord voicings via the extra range on the 7 and 8-string guitars. I mean, some of the stuff he uses are chords made of parallel 4ths and 5ths (turn those into arpeggios). Any really dissonant-sounding "sus" or "add" are probably also a good guess.
Another really important thing is Tosin's selection of which intervals to use, which can really affect the sound and selection of chords.
