We have done so much with the blues scale and the minor pentatonic, it is time to give the major pentatonic scale some love and that is exactly what this tutorial is dedicated to doing. If you know the minor pentatonic scale, than you already know the major pentatonic as well! You just have to identify the root, we will also look at the circle of the 5ths as well and how to use it to identify relative majors and minors as well. 

There is also a jam track in C included, so once you have learned these ideas you can start to apply them right away!

How To Solo In Major Keys On Ukulele - Relative Majors and Minors - Ukulele Tutorial

New Ukulele every Wednesday and Saturday. Subscribe and learn with us! We have spent a lot of time jamming and soloing on the Ukulele in minor keys and in the blues, but we can use our same pentatonic vocabulary to jam in major keys as well! Every relative minor pentatonic scale has a major pentatonic scale, for example A minor and C major pentatonic have the same notes. That means if you know how to play the A minor scale you already know how to jam in the C major scale as well. So the only thing that we have to do is to learn where the major and minor roots are so we can use the scale accordingly. Now you will be able to solo over any single chord progression as long as you can identify with key, which means you can jam with any song, with any friend, whenever you want! Make sure to check out our other videos on jamming as well so that way you feel comfortable with the minor keys, roots, jamming ideas, and how to turn the scale into a blues scale.

Thanks Tyler, this really helps. I have been studying the circle of fifths for a long time and working in A Minor thanks to you...I do love A minor, super fun. This will really help my progress. I like playing others peoples stuff but am super excited to play more based on intuition...Thanks again for all that you do, you are an awesome teacher. Rob

My man Rob! You take 100% advantage of our lessons and I LOVE that. Try looking for a "Let It Be" karaoke backing track on youtube and jam out all those A minor ideas, and you will here the C major in it, and now you are free to jam and solo on every song my friend!
