Chord & FretLydian dominant on ukulele (D)
Lydian dominant in D: D – E – F# – G# – A – B – C. 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, 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.
Climb it slowly and name each degree out loud before speeding up.
In the diagram, each dot carries its scale degree — 1 is the tonic, highlighted.
A scale never lives in one box — Lydian dominant on ukulele has 4 more positions along the neck. In Chord & Fret, you drill it in Exercise mode — in thirds, pairs or sequences, with the BPM climbing every repetition; switch the dot labels between degrees, note names and fingers; and turn on the built-in metronome at the same BPM.
