11. Five Ukulele Scales You Should Be Practicing Right Now!

Hey guys, I want to show you the five ukulele scales you should be practicing right now in this video.

We love the ukulele! This tiny instrument is great for playing songs and lovely chords.

However, playing just chords doesn't help you develop more aspects of your left hand.

Let me explain.

Playing chords on the ukulele is great. However, once you have memorized them, your fingers go through the same movement over and over.

It's important, then, to introduce scale into your practice routine to break the chord habit and create new patterns and movements in your playing.

Practice the ukulele scales using the alternate fingering technique. This fingerstyle approach allows you to develop your plucking technique and plucking volume easily.

The five scales are:
-C major
-F major
-D major
-A minor
D minor

Good luck and enjoy this lesson.
