As a “jazz” standard Shiny Stockings uses 4-part contemporary, a.k.a "jazz" chords. Shiny Stockings uses a wider range of chords than your typical rock, pop or folk song. You'll definitely need to venture beyond the third fret of your instrument to play this arrangement.

When venturing in solo ukulele and “jazz” chords, a core set of chords and a solid foundation on how chords are constructed is needed to be successful.

How I Learned these “Jazz” Chords... Learning these more advanced chords doesn't take some mythical secret knowledge. All it takes is knowing how chords are created - where they come from. I learned them over many years. Using the information I ultimately put down in my book A Guide to Advanced Chords for Ukulele. Study how to make any chord you will ever need to play using the tried and true chord formulas that the pros use. They're all in this book.

A Guide to Advanced Ukulele Chords - VOLUME I Commonly referred to as "jazz" chords. A Guide to Advanced Ukulele Chords Volume I provides detailed information on voicing 4-part chords.

Beyond learning the basic Ukulele chords, most Ukulele players struggle with advanced chords. Commonly called "jazz" chords, these more sophisticated voicings find a wide use in all forms of music.

This volume of A Guide to Advanced Ukulele Chords presents a highly organized and efficient approach to the mysterious subject of advanced chords. Chord dictionaries are not the answer. Even chord theory does not offer any insight into unraveling the complexity of advanced chords.

NEW 2nd Edition includes example chord progressions based on standard chord progressions and songs.

Tunings: C low or high “G” - (GCEA or gCEA).

For more information and samples checkout the A Guide to Advanced Ukulele Chords book information.

P.S. You may think from the look of it that Curt Sheller Publications is a slick, profitable business, but it's actually not (maybe a car payment a month, cheap car). I spend a lot and time money creating the content, lessons and books for this site (a labor of love), so if you dig my content and want to see more of it. I could use your help by spreading the word and maybe buying a book or two if you haven't already, to help defray the cost of running the site. Thanks in advance for your help. This is a labor of love and I'd do it even if I didn't make a lot of money, hey I don't!
