Harmonic field of B major on ukulele

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