Chord & FretDorian ♭2 on ukulele (B)
Dorian ♭2 in B: B – C – D – E – F# – G# – A. On the ukulele, the high reentrant G reshuffles the pattern — the scale climbs and falls in compact regions. The box shown runs from fret 1 to 4; the lowest tonic sits on the 4th string, fret 4, and the hand stays put in the region, with no position shift. Its soft nylon strings sound warm and mellow, light enough to float gently over a song.
Once the shape is memorized, play the box in thirds — the real memory test.
Read the dots by degree: 1 is the tonic (highlighted); the rest follow the scale's formula.
A scale never lives in one box — Dorian ♭2 on ukulele has 4 more positions along the neck. In Chord & Fret, you press play and watch each note light up on the diagram the instant it sounds; switch the dot labels between degrees, note names and fingers; and run it up, down or in a full round trip.
