About G Natural Minor on ukulele
The G Natural Minor sits at the centre of countless songs you already know on ukulele. It carries a feel that is sad, introspective, and folk-like, defined entirely by where the half-steps land. From G you climb G, A, A#, C, D, D#, F, and the same notes work in any octave on the instrument.
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 G and the next note, and the next, gives the scale its identity in any key. Once the scale feels familiar, switch instrument above to see the same notes laid out a different way.
