About A# Major on ukulele
The A# Major on ukulele is one of the most rewarding scales to learn early. Compared to its neighbours it sounds bright, stable, and resolutely happy, which is why it gets picked for specific moments rather than everywhere. Spell the scale and you get A#, C, D, D#, F, G, A — memorise that order before you worry about positions.
On a standard GCEA ukulele the scale spans the full range across the four strings; the diagram lights every fret up to the 12th so you can pick a comfortable spot. Its theoretical job is fixed: the spacing between A# and the next note, and the next, gives the scale its identity in any key. If you are tuning by ear, our tuner for ukulele is one click away — the scale only sounds right with accurate intonation.
