Ukulele Tricks and Techniques: Progression 5-C Minor to E-Major

Lesson 4: The Scales of Justice

By now, you should be able to play a decent C-Minor. It's time to take the next step and learn the E-Major scale. Why, you ask? Well, it's because, let's face it, C-Minor is just so... bleak.

Come on, don't be so glum. Let's get this E-Minor thing going. Here's how:

  1. Start on E.
  2. E (no, not E-Minor, E-Major)
  3. E, F#-A, B, C, D, E.
  4. That's it.

Now, let's put it all together, shall we?

Play C-Minor, play E-Major, play both, and play both together in harmony. It's like the ukulele equivalent of world peace.
