G Blues Scale — Bass Ukulele

The G Blues scale has 6 notes per octave and belongs to the blues family. Here it is mapped onto the Bass Ukulele's EADG strings, position by position, with the root highlighted so the pattern anchors to G wherever you play it.

The minor pentatonic with a b5 "blue note" wedged in — that one extra note adds grit, tension, and a sly, vocal quality. Tough, expressive, and unmistakably bluesy.

Heard in: Blues, rock, jazz, rhythm and blues, and boogie-woogie — Delta and Chicago blues, Hendrix, Clapton, Stevie Ray Vaughan.

On the Bass Ukulele's linear EADG 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 G to use it over real changes.
