Harmonic field of A minor on ukulele

A minor: A – B – C – D – E – F – G. In the shapes below, the tonic opens with the bass on C. 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.

This is the natural-minor field. In practice the v often becomes V (major) or V7 — borrowed from the harmonic minor — to create the leading tone that pulls back to the tonic.
