G Gypsy Major Scale — Tenor Ukulele

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

Brash and colorful — a #2 crushed against the major 3rd and a #4 give it a Lydian-dominant swagger with a Romani twist. Bold, spicy, and unpredictable.

Heard in: Hungarian and Romani folk, Bartok and Liszt, gypsy-jazz flourishes, and fusion lines over dominant chords.

Reentrant tuning means the top string of the chart is not the lowest note — the maps below follow the Tenor 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 G to use it over real changes.
