B Minor Pentatonic Scale — Baritone Ukulele

The B Minor 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.

Gritty, bluesy, and direct — five notes with no half steps, so each one lands with attitude over a minor or dominant chord. The sound of rock and blues lead playing.

Heard in: Blues, rock, hard rock, metal, funk, and soul solos — the first scale most lead players learn and the one they never leave.

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.
