E Spanish Scale — Taro-Patch Ukulele

The E Spanish scale has 7 notes per octave and belongs to the world family. Here it is mapped onto the Taro-Patch Ukulele's GCEA strings, position by position, with the root highlighted so the pattern anchors to E wherever you play it.

Fiery and exotic — the b2 presses against the root while the major 3rd keeps it from sounding plainly minor. Flamenco heat with a Middle-Eastern edge: dramatic, urgent, and passionate.

Heard in: Flamenco and Spanish classical guitar, klezmer and "Hava Nagila", Arabic and Jewish liturgical music, metal riffs, and the V chord of harmonic minor.

Reentrant tuning means the top string of the chart is not the lowest note — the maps below follow the Taro-Patch 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 E to use it over real changes.
