[Continue Reading...]Ukulele Scales: How to Play C Major Scale Position #3 on Ukulele
So far we’ve looked at how to play C major scale in position #1 and position #2 on the ukulele fretboard. If you haven’t already completed those lessons, do that before moving forward!
In this lesson, continue to learn C Major Scale Position #3 on ukulele.
By doing this, you learn the natural notes across the ukulele fretboard (A, B, C, D, E, F, G). If you know these notes, it’s easy to fill in the sharps and flats later. In addition, learning these notes is the basis of playing melodies, solos and riffs on the ukulele.
The C major scale is where it all begins!
Learn how to play Position #3 now.
[Continue Reading...]Ukulele Scales: How to Play C Major Scale Position #2 on Ukulele
Last week we looked at how to play a C Major Scale in Position #1 on ukulele. Today we continue on and learn C Major Scale in Position #2 farther up the fretboard (there are a total of five positions).
By learning the notes of C major scale in all positions, you learn all natural notes on the ukulele fretboard (A, B, C, D, E, F, G), or any note that is not an accidental (sharp or flat). When you learn all the natural notes, it’s easy to figure out where the other notes are later.
Learning the C major scale is the foundation of learning the notes of the ukulele fretboard and opens up future possibilities like:
- How to fingerpick the melody of a song on the fretboard
- How to build chords across the fretboard
- How to riff and improvise solos across the fretboard (like in the blues or jazz)
Let’s learn Position #2 now.
