Chord & FretIonian ♯5 (augmented) on ukulele (C)
Ionian ♯5 (augmented) in C: C – D – E – F – G# – A – B. 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 3rd string, open, 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.
In the diagram, each dot carries its scale degree — 1 is the tonic, highlighted.
