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

In my book A Guide to Advanced Chords for Ukulele I presented 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 ukulele chord voicings.If your goal is to expand your chord vocabulary, A Guide to Advanced Chords for Ukulele is your answer. This book, Exploring “Jazz” Chords takes the core chords from that book A Guide to Advanced Chords for Ukulele and shows examples using those chords over common chord progressions.

Introduction

Chords can be categorized into four chord types; major, minor, diminished and augmented. Four-part chords based on the major, minor, diminished and augmented chord types can be voiced across the four strings of the ukulele.

Chord notation is an inexact science. Some of the more common chord notations are shown throughout the book.

All chords presented can be played on a standard “C” tuned four string ukulele, either a high “G” or low “G” string four.

Comments regarding for Exploring Jazz Chords on Ukulele.

JazzGuitarLife.com (A review of The Advanced Guide to Guitar Chords Vol.1 by Lyle Robinson of JazzGuitarLife) \... When I received this instructional book for review my first question was, “where was Curt Sheller when I needed him twenty years ago?” If I had access to this book early on I would have most likely progressed quicker than I did, especially when faced with a lead sheet from a fake book with all those “weird” chord names and alterations.

Sheller’s “The Advanced Guide to Guitar Chords Vol.1” provides the beginner and intermediate jazz guitar player with the most common and great sounding chord voicings of all the major, minor, dominant, augmented and diminished chords plus their alterations: 9, 11, and 13ths. As well, he discusses the sus, add, and slash theory of such chord formations.

This is a text that is beautifully laid out and very easy to work through. What little chord theory there is throughout the book is clearly explained and doesn’t bog the student down with too much theoretical discourse. The chord diagrams are clearly defined and there is no confusion about where fingers should be placed. This is definitely a book that you can begin utilizing in a practical playing situation almost immediately. And it’s great for teachers to get their beginning Jazz guitar students to start hearing and playing those wonderful voicings that excited us all early on in our development as Jazz guitar players.

The Advanced Guide to Guitar Chords Vol.1 is a great beginning for any aspiring Jazz guitarist and I can't wait to check out volumes two and three.

Thank you, Lyle Robinson - Lyle Robinson, JazzGuitarLife.com
