B Major Pentatonic Scale — Baritone Ukulele

The B Major Pentatonic pattern on DGBE strings — see it, hear it, drill it.

The B Major Pentatonic scale has 5 notes per octave and belongs to the pentatonic family. Here it is mapped onto the Baritone Ukulele's DGBE strings, position by position, with the root highlighted so the pattern anchors to B wherever you play it.

Open, sunny, and hard to play wrong — with no half steps there is nothing to clash, so every note sits comfortably over a major chord. Warm, folksy, and singable.

Heard in: Country, bluegrass, folk, gospel, Southern rock, and countless pop hooks — from "Amazing Grace" to "My Girl".

On the Baritone Ukulele's linear DGBE tuning the pattern climbs string to string in pitch order, so runs flow straight across the neck.

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