Today we are going to look at two exercises that will use the G major pentatonic scale and take you from one end all the way to the other, helping you master the entire fretboard and helping you jam from left to right. A lot of times when we learn a new scale we learn the shapes vertically, but if you do any of my solo lessons you will quickly see the ability to shred and jam from left to right is fundamental to your success as a player. These exercises when incorporated in your playing will not only have you playing the entire fretboard, learning the ukulele fretboard, but it will also have you soloing like a pro on your ukulele, tabs on screen to help you learn faster!   

To incorporate these ideas in your playing start slow, around 60 BPM and play each note as a quarter note. Do this daily in your practice and build up speed, once you get to around 100 BPM return to 60 and do the same exercise with 18th notes. If you want to you can do the same thing again with 16th note once you have reached 100 BPM with the 8th notes.   

Incorporate this into your playing daily, within a month your Ukulele skills will be much more developed and you will be really moving around the fretboard, when it comes time to shred a solo in G major, E minor or a blues solo in E you wont be stuck in that same position 4 but you'll be all over the fretboard, all the way up to the 14th fret of the A string!

Thank you Tyler, this would be sooo awesome if we could have these for every key .. thank you!

Hi Helen! Because the layout of the fretboard this specific exercise won't work in every key, but I am thinking about other keys and creating activities and exercises them because it is super important that we practice as many as we can to really have fretboard fluency and mastery.
