Harmonic field of G# minor on ukulele

G# minor: G# – A# – B – C# – D# – E – F#. 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.

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.
