Baritone Ukulele Scales
About this ebook
Each scale is shown in multiple fingerings with its root on the fourth, third, or second string. Examples include Major, Minor, Harmonic Minor, and Pentatonic scales, plus Dorian, Phrygian, and Mixolydian modes. Each model scale is shown in standard notation, tablature, and various fretboard diagrams. In the diagrams, all the scales are shown in the first position, that is, with the first finger aligned with the first fret. The author relies on the reader to correlate the diamond shapes with the appropriate tonic note, regardless of the scale being played.
Practicing scales will accelerate your learning, improve your coordination and musical ear, and help you become a better sight reader on virtually any instrument, in this case, the baritone ukulele!

About the author
Lee "Drew" Andrews began playing guitar at age 14. His first years of college were spent studying Physics. When he found himself skipping many of his core classes in order to spend more time playing guitar, he decided it may be better to change majors. Drew studied Guitar Performance at Utah State University with Mike Christiansen, where he also minored in Technical and Professional Writing. From 2002 until 2011 he was a music editor at Mel Bay Publications. Each year there he learned a new stringed instrument to better perform his job. Drew has gigged extensively not only on guitar but also on mandolin, ukulele, and bass.
