Five Ukulele Scales You Should Be Practicing Right Now!

👇🏻👇🏻👇🏻Click Here to Know More👇🏻👇🏻👇🏻 🎸TAB AVAILABLE ON PATREON https://www.patreon.com/posts/44916508 🎸MY UKULELE COURSES! https://ukewithmarco.com/ 🎸FOLLOW ME ON INSTAGRAM! https://www.instagram.com/marcocirilloukulele/?hl=en 🎸IN THIS VIDEO 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. 🎸UKULELE I AM USING: Makai LT80.vv

Thanks for these scale exercises which I am finding useful developing my alternate fingering technique after years of playing guitar with a pick. Any other recommendations to develop alternate fingering fluency?

Hi Glenn. I am glad you enjoy the lesson. Practicing short exercises, and melodies with continuous plucking is one of the most beneficial things you can do to improve your alternate fingering. I recorded a short classical melody that you can practice that will help you with that. However, it looks like you already have a lot on the table so add the exercise only when you feel ready. Good luck.

F-scale is the one I am practicing right now!!!I Thank your so much for this wonderful lesson. I wanted to follow your recommendation on learning these so I started out just going through the entire lesson once a day for about 15 minutes, maybe 5 days a week. But my progress was fumbling, awkward and slow. I realized I needed to simplify and streamline my practice to maximize mastering the scales and do it in a paced manner. I had previously mastered the C-scale using either my thumb or my first finger for picking. The other scales are all completely new to me. The concept of alternating fingers was also completely new. As an older adult with no experience on a stringed instrument the dexterity needed to play with each hand doing completely different things and in time is surprisingly challenging. I want to get familiar with the fret board. It is so different than a clarinet or a piano. Focusing on hands, fingers, rhythm and sound. I decided to take a more rhythmic approach for practice. Starting with the F-Scale I practice for 5 minutes, three times a day for 5 days a week. I’m alternating right hand fingers 1 and 3 on each note to a count of 4 (X2), then moving to the next note. My primary goal is to isolate the alternating fingering method to master that specific skill. Then reducing the count to 4, 2 and then 1 to follow your recommended timing. It’s working very nicely. I will keep you posted on my progress. Thanks for providing the TAB on Patreon because that really helps me learn to read music and the TAB and associate the notes on the page with where my fingers are on the fretboard.

Thanks a lot for sharing your practice routine, Lynn. I am glad you have found your practice flow with these scales. Enjoy the lesson and keep us posted on your progress.

Posting my progress right here will help me stay on track and measure the continuous incremental progress I'm aiming for. Thanks for suggesting this. F-Scale progress report: I'm continuing to practice the F-Scale for 5 minutes/day, 5 days a week. Resting my thumb on the G-string and alternating index and middle fingers to a count of 4 on each note of the scale. Extra attention and emphasis on smooth transition from C to D note. I transcribed the scale and the tab onto staff paper which is a little larger than pdf. Aiming to be able to read the notes while playing or the TAB while playing and not looking at my hands. Being completely relaxed while I practice is a challenge because I unconsciously clench my teeth, hunch my shoulders or sometimes even curl my toes when I'm trying too hard. I realize that "practice makes permanent" so the result of practice needs to be, as you say--------"a flow". {I will post on YouTube as well as I hope my approach to practice may help others}

Thanks for sharing this. Absolutely! Feel free to record videos and share in on YouTube. Recording yourself will also bring up some of the things you could fix. Good luck.

I have found video-recording helpful in identifying some of my problem areas once I overcame camera fright. This took some time. I don't know exactly how one would share in on YouTube. There are many stressor factors involved that I simply don't want to deal with. However, if you had an exclusive website for Patreon members (established as a separate tier) where I could submit, I would prefer that. Members only could submit a video on something they are working on {perhaps specifically limited to a particular lesson}. If you could provide a respond video with critique and recommendations then all of us that are genuinely committed to learning from you would really benefit from your personalized analysis. Making such a service available directly on YouTube would be too overwhelming for you to manage. Plus, you would probably be inundated with inappropriate submissions. Besides, you should be financially reimbursed for this kind of musical skill support. I hope you will consider doing this, Marco. If you do, please PONDER CAREFULLY the defining parameters for video submission to your site. You will want to provide protection for yourself as well your committed patrons and keep it all rhythmically, melodically, BEAUTIFULLY, manageable.
