A# Rock 'n' Roll Scale — Banjolele

The A# Rock 'n' Roll scale has 6 notes per octave and belongs to the blues family. Here it is mapped onto the Banjolele's GCEA strings, position by position, with the root highlighted so the pattern anchors to A# wherever you play it.

Major pentatonic with a b3 rubbed against the natural 3 — bright and bouncy with a bluesy smirk. Playful, swinging, and built for boogie riffs.

Heard in: Fifties rock, rockabilly, boogie-woogie, Chuck Berry-style riffs, and jump blues.

Reentrant tuning means the top string of the chart is not the lowest note — the maps below follow the Banjolele as it actually sounds, not a borrowed guitar chart.

Play each position slowly against the audio until the shape and the sound lock together, then take it to the progressions in A# to use it over real changes.
