hmm yeah that makes sense, i guess ill just fool around on my own, it seems weird to practice scales on just 3 strings.

Kieran: It’s easiest to think of scales going straight up and down. So the re-entrant string confuses matters a bit.

I was just wondering, im sure there is a good reason…but why is there no high(or low) g string in any of these scales?

spent 2 minutes on your website and I already feel like a pro… good lesson! And coming from steel string guitar I always use a pick on the uke, sound good though perhaps less versatile

Woodshed, I’v heard that its bad to use a pick on a ukulele, is this true?

i can’t figure out how to play the C minor pentatonic improvisation scale. Any tips? I don’t know how to play the notes that are connected by the brackets.
Any help would be much appreciated

John is spot on. I hardly ever use a pick on the uke.
