C Rock 'n' Roll Scale — Soprano Ukulele

The C Rock 'n' Roll scale has 6 notes per octave and belongs to the blues family. Here it is mapped onto the Soprano Ukulele's GCEA strings, position by position, with the root highlighted so the pattern anchors to C wherever you play it.

Major pentatonic with a b3 rubbed against the natural 3 — bright and bouncy with a bluesy smirk. Playful, swinging, and built for boogie riffs.

Heard in: Fifties rock, rockabilly, boogie-woogie, Chuck Berry-style riffs, and jump blues.

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 C to use it over real changes.
