About B Natural Minor on ukulele
The B Natural Minor on ukulele is one of the most rewarding scales to learn early. The scale's character is sad, introspective, and folk-like, which is why it shows up in so many genres. Run through B, C#, D, E, F#, G, A once aloud — that is the full set, and every other note is outside the scale.
Ukulele players usually start the scale on the C string (string 3) and stay in first position for the full octave before shifting up. From a music-theory angle the scale's interval pattern matters more than the note names — start on a different root and you still hear the same flavour.
