About G# Natural Minor on ukulele
The G# Natural Minor on ukulele is one of the most rewarding scales to learn early. Compared to its neighbours it sounds sad, introspective, and folk-like, which is why it gets picked for specific moments rather than everywhere. From G# you climb G#, A#, B, C#, D#, E, 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. If you are tuning by ear, our tuner for ukulele is one click away — the scale only sounds right with accurate intonation.
