Bulletin Board: Jazzy Jingle Close Window

I can't put my new uke down. But while noodling around, I fell on this fun start to Jingle Bells -- 0077 (for jingle bells, jingle bells) The other chords are 0-0-10- 10, 0033, 0055, 0077. This is super simple and I'm sure it's not original, but I'm having a fun time messing with it! Anybody else got some more chords?

Alan - Love the 0043 and 0045! For "Oh what" I like 7988 resolving into 7888 for "fun" better. Speaking of that, this IS fun, isn't it?

More notes to fret but how bout this for the first part of the chorus
7787 7787 7787
7787 7787 7787
7787 9101010 5433 5435 5767

5558 5558 5767 5767
5657 5655 5655 5657 5655 77710
These are some of the chord voicings I used on my mp3 of Jingle Bells

Whoops! I forgot a chord in the last line. Should look like this
5657 5655 5655 5657 4535 77710

George, the 7988 into the 7888 is a great sound! Dom, love your changes too. What about 5558 5558 resolving to 5888 similar to what George did on the "Oh what fun..." line? This IS fun!

Dom,I'm with it till the 77710 LOL!
Posted By: Guest_Dominator Date: 11/30/2004
Grunch, assuming it is because of stretching the pinky and not the sound you can use a G7 instead = 7778
The G7 is probably more appropriate but the straight G major works best in my hopped up arrangement.

Dom - I really like your MP3 version so I'm going to play it your way the second time through! And here's how I'm gonna start the verse part ... 000x 021x 032x 043x 7777 5555 0003 043x. The last five chords give you "Dash-ing thru the snow." Dom, thanks for all your help with my travels. I love your island!

...This is very cool. Anybody else note the "lilt" in Dominator's "ambulation"? White sandy beaches the reason? Ah, what a place Hawaii 'tis.
