About G# Major on ukulele
If you have only one scale in your back pocket on ukulele, make it the G# Major. It carries a feel that is bright, stable, and resolutely happy, defined entirely by where the half-steps land. Run through G#, A#, C, C#, D#, F, G 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. What makes it sound like itself is the gap pattern between notes; transposing to G# keeps that pattern intact. If you are tuning by ear, our tuner for ukulele is one click away — the scale only sounds right with accurate intonation.
