C Major Scale — Baritone Ukulele

The C Major scale has 7 notes per octave and belongs to the common family. Here it is mapped onto the Baritone Ukulele's DGBE strings, position by position, with the root highlighted so the pattern anchors to C wherever you play it.

Bright, resolved, and stable. The foundation of Western tonal music and the most common mode in pop, classical, folk, and jazz.

Heard in: Pop, classical, country, folk, gospel — the default major tonality of Western music.

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 C to use it over real changes.
