G# Dorian Scale — Bass Ukulele

The G# Dorian pattern on EADG strings — see it, hear it, drill it.

The G# Dorian scale has 7 notes per octave and belongs to the modes 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.

Minor with a raised 6th (natural 6) — soulful, smooth, and less dark than natural minor. The quintessential jazz-minor and blues mode.

Heard in: "So What" (Miles Davis), "Oye Como Va" (Santana), "Eleanor Rigby" (Beatles) — rock, blues, funk, jazz.

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.
