Chord & FretHungarian minor (Gypsy) on ukulele (A)
Hungarian minor (Gypsy) in A: A – B – C – D# – E – F – G#. 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 2, 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.
Practice it tonic to tonic — hearing degree 1 at both ends anchors the scale's sound.
In the diagram, each dot carries its scale degree — 1 is the tonic, highlighted.
