Mixolydian on ukulele (G)

Mixolydian in G: G – A – B – C – D – E – F. 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, 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.

A scale never lives in one box — Mixolydian on ukulele has 4 more positions along the neck. In Chord & Fret, you hear the scale in the instrument's own voice, synthesized string by string; switch the dot labels between degrees, note names and fingers; and turn on the built-in metronome at the same BPM.
