Explanation:
Mislim da je ovo ima dosta slicno znacenje kao pridjev `crafty`. Nasla sam sljedece na 2 sajta:
``Elliot’s got real jazz chops. What he did tonight was not at all easy, and takes real voice control plus an inherent sense of the music and the notes in each jazz chord of the song. Bravo!
Sa drugog sajta:
Craft in music equates with chops, that quality which builds with practice, whether performer, composer, luthier or sound engineer, and which makes the musician. Our presumptive virtuosi have their chops intact. Robotic vehicles, so beautifully exemplified by the NASA rovers, are also crafty in their own right, designed in engineering domains where robustness is the equivalent of musical chops.

agree  Kornelija Karalic: Chops: Ability to play on any instrument (guitar, drums, brass, etc.). Used for guitar and drums because of the chopping motion made by the hand, and used for wind instruments because chops is also slang for one's mouth.

Mada mislim da je prijedlog koleginice Sanje vrlo primijenjiv u ponudjenoj recenici, htjela bih dodati i slijedece:

chops - (slang) embouchure; broadly: the techinical facility of a musical performer /Merriam Webster Dictionary/

embouchure - polozaj usana pri sviranju na duhackim instrumentima /Rudolf Filipovic, English Croatian or Serbian Dictionary/
