A# Gypsy Minor Scale — Soprano Ukulele

The A# Gypsy Minor scale has 7 notes per octave and belongs to the world family. Here it is mapped onto the Soprano Ukulele's GCEA strings, position by position, with the root highlighted so the pattern anchors to A# wherever you play it.

Harmonic minor with a raised 4th — two wide, yearning steps (b3 to #4, b6 to 7) give it a smoldering, theatrical intensity. Dark, exotic, and full of drama.

Heard in: Hungarian and Romani folk, Liszt's Hungarian Rhapsodies, gypsy jazz, klezmer, and neoclassical metal.

Reentrant tuning means the top string of the chart is not the lowest note — the maps below follow the Soprano Ukulele as it actually sounds, not a borrowed guitar chart.

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