Harmonic field of Ab major on ukulele

Ab major: Ab – Bb – C – Db – Eb – F – G. In the shapes below, the tonic opens with the bass on Eb. On the ukulele, the high reentrant G makes every shape light — and with four strings, every note is exposed. Its soft nylon strings sound warm and mellow, light enough to float gently over a song.
