D# Major Scale — Soprano Ukulele

The D# Major scale has 7 notes per octave and belongs to the common family. Here it is mapped onto the Soprano Ukulele's GCEA strings, position by position, with the root highlighted so the pattern anchors to D# 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.

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 D# to use it over real changes.
