Harmonic field of Bb minor on ukulele
Bb minor: Bb – C – Db – Eb – F – Gb – Ab. In the shapes below, the tonic opens with the bass on Db. 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.
These are the first positions of every degree of Bb minor on ukulele. In Chord & Fret, the Circle of Fifths opens the full field — every degree with all its positions, audio and the key's secondary dominants. Open in Chord & Fret →
