Ultralocrian on electric guitar (G)
Ultralocrian in G: G – Ab – Bb – Cb – Db – Eb – Fb. On electric guitar, the slimmer neck invites legato — the same fingering runs with less effort, and the high positions stay comfortable. The box shown runs from fret 1 to 4; the lowest tonic sits on the 6th string, fret 3, and the hand stays put in the region, with no position shift. Plugged into an amp, each chord sustains for as long as you hold it, and the tone — clean or driven — shapes the whole sound.
Climb it slowly and name each degree out loud before speeding up.
Read the dots by degree: 1 is the tonic (highlighted); the rest follow the scale's formula.
A scale never lives in one box — Ultralocrian on electric guitar has 3 more positions along the neck. In Chord & Fret, you hear the scale in the instrument's own voice, synthesized string by string; switch the dot labels between degrees, note names and fingers; and run it up, down or in a full round trip.
