Today we are going to learn how to solo on the baritone ukulele, specifically, how to find the scale that you can use to solo over any chord progression. It works like this, the first thing you need to identify is the key of the song, this will tell you if it is major or minor and what scale to use. If the song is in G, then you need to find G root and build the G major pentatonic scale. If you it is B minor you find the B note and build the B minor pentatonic. The major root is on the G string and the minor root is on the E string. You find that root and you build around that root.

All songs are either or minor and all songs sound great with the pentatonic. Once you learn how to find the minor or major root and build shape 1 around that root you can use that scale to literally jam and solo to any song every written. A great way to practice is to put your favorite song on your home stereo, google the key, find the root, build the scale and jam along with it!

I loved this lesson... i just got a baritone (from playing Tenors) and after watching this I am so excited yet I have so many questions. Let's start with where can I find a PDF to the Video you did for the E Minor Pentatonic on Baritone - All Shapes. If I have something to refer to-- with all of the shapes written in TAB it would greatly help me practice!
