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!

Can you do Green Day- Lazy Bones Ukulele tutorial please
WoW! WoW! WoW! Ukulele, Brain and Attention span....I literally just said to myself that I need to put in some "scales" effort....This will be effort but SOOOO Worth what it will bring. Thanks Tyler.
Awesomse to hear! Incorporate this as your warm up and you will be amazed in two weeks and in four weeks how much more command you'll have over the entire ukulele.
Thank you so much!!! I'm trying to understand the fretboard, it's very helpful!
Great timing! That's what I love to hear!
Very helpful, these are some great warm-ups and exercises. Thanks!
Exactly, two birds one stone, you play the is when you warm up and within a month you’ll be moving laterally much easier
I'm half way there. But, I'm totally IN. Your my #1 choice when it comes to scales. I'm up for another 30 day challenge. This is GOLD! Thanks for the present Tyler!

Thanks TTP! As always, USEFUL information in a usable format. You ROCK!
Thank you so much!
Very nice, have already mastered the pentatonic and major/minor scales, this will spice it up even more! Looking forward to getting this in the bag then transposing it on other keys.
Wow Tyler what a great exercise to play and a lot of fun learning up and down the fret board. Thank you and I'll catch you in the next video.... whichever that one may be. lol
Thanks a lot, Tyler, very helpful.
But still, I dont fully understand how to use it in soloing, how to connect pentatonic shapes along the fretboard.
I believe everyone here agrees, that a lesson from you on explaining that would be very useful
I think that is a great idea. What do you think would have more value to you as a learner "How to connect pentatonic scale shapes" or "How to turn a scale into a solo"
@@TenThumbsProductions Well, for me personally the first one would be more useful. Soloing in one scale is easier. Still I would watch both videos a thousand times, cause blues soloing is the most exiting part in playing ukulele. And your videos improve it a lot)
Priceless lesson!!! Thank you!
Awesome 👍. This is a keeper. Excited to get to the next level! I'll share the results 😎
Got home, grab my uke, open yt, see that tyler has another tutorial, click
That's what I like to hear!
Excellent as always! I need to commit some time to practicing my scales.
It pays a lot of dividends and makes a great warm up.
Thanks Tyler I just need to learn how to turn this into a solo now😊
“How to turn a scale into a solo” would be a good video.
I have only been using your vids for learning the ukelele and im progressing really quick thank youuu
Thanks for the leaving the comment. It really helps both the algorithm, but also personally it warms my heart to hear that you are benefiting from what we are making, it really does make me happy, thank you!
WOW…this is So AWESOME, Thank You Very Much 👍👍
as always an amazing lesson, you are masta!
Thanks Ray 🙏

Thank you. It was helpful

Hi Tyler. Thanks this is gold! I don't have a low G yet. What low G string set are you using in this video?
The only one I’ve ever owned is a wound version from Aquila but I don’t like them, it sure where to find them but I played a low G unwound, no metal, and it was absolutely amazing.
Can you do Green Day- Lazy Bones Ukulele tutorial please
Tyler I’m wondering about a starter amp. I have a enya acoustic plus but I would like to also get an electric uke and an amp. I want an amp I can recharge and take outside and one that has Bluetooth. Do you have any recommendations? 🤷♂️
The best portable amps that run off batteries and work outside that I’ve used are the Roland Cubes for sure.
Okay I need to learn this, I have procrastinated enough
Tyler, love these lessons they are really helpful.
I’ve been one of your patreons for some time but I find it really hard to find the tabs and other things I’m looking for on your Patreon page .......am I doing something wrong?
Where can I find the tabs for this video?
Hi Steve, I am putting together the tabs for this one right now, I am a little behind as I like to have the tabs ready when the video is ready but tomorrow I'm flying for the first time in the covid era. On the app, or if you are on the mobile version of the site on your phone or ipad, unfortunately there isn't a search button, if you are on a computer though you will see a search button, that is one way to find the tabs. Another is pinned in the first comment here on youtube you will see a direct link to the tab, so if you are on youtube and vibing with the lesson just scroll to the top of the comment section and you will see a pinned comment from me that will take you directly to the tab, that also means you can search for the lessons on my home page on youtube as well and once you find the lesson on youtube just go to the comment section and and you'll see the direct link. The last way, and this isn't the best way to find a specific tab but a great way to explore content that maybe you didn't know we had, is on Patreon there are tags. "Low-G" "Scales" "Blues" "70s Music" "Riff" and you can click each on and they will take you to all the lessons that have that tag, that is a great way to explore content you are interested in when you are looking for a lesson to do. If you'd like to see how that works here is a two minute video I did that shows you exactly all the different ways to find and download the PDFs ua-cam.com/video/1HrQ7akt_sw/v-deo.html&feature=emb_title Hopefully this will take your experience with us to the next level and REALLY get you shredding friend!

If you have someone playing a blues shuffle on guitar in the key of E and you want to jam with them, is this the scale (Eminor) that you should use solo along with them on?
Yes, that is correct, but to be specific the E minor pentatonic not the E minor scale, the E minor scale has 2 extra notes that don't sound that good but the E minor pentatonic is a perfect fit. There is also a scale called the E blues scale, which is the E minor pentatonic with one extra note, the flat 5th, that sounds really great too. If you'd like to learn more about the blues scale here is a tutorial we did for it ua-cam.com/video/JgCIX5aRE3w/v-deo.html
@@TenThumbsProductions I really appreciate the insight. I know you get a lot of love from people already, but I wanted to let you know that your videos really have been great. I am truly getting a better understanding of the fretboard, which is massively elevating my play quickly. Keep doing what you're doing, and I'm going to check the specific blues scales now since I've been mainly focused on the pentatonics. Stay classy with that uke, brain and attention span, my friend.
@@bobbyreuter1559 Thank you for showing love! I really appreciate it, your gratitude is my motivation! Comments like this mean the world to me and the really do motivate me to work harder and do everything I can to make sure your learning experience is both positive and empowering. Thank you very much for sharing your gratitude!
Is it best to always pluck with the thumb on all for this exercise or can the index finger be used?
That is a matter of preference. I mix between all thumb and thumb on the G and C strings and index on the E and A
@@TenThumbsProductions That’s what I’ve been doing too. Thumb on G & C and finger on E & A. Thanks. I was just checking. I can run up and down good but not quick like you, lol but that will come in time.
@1.24 we have the same ukulele!
Nice!!!!!
Ive never seen a ukulele by martin o.O
Their sopranos are AMAZING!! The tenors are a lot less impressive.
my current uku does not have a 14 lol.
Hahaha, uh oh!!!! Gonna have to bend that 12 fret up a whole step! Hahah
Omg this is not in my skill set!!! 😭😭😭😭😭
Try the first lesson and first string, do that for a couple days and then add the second string, repeat and repeat there is a poem by shel Silverstein about eating a whale and you do it a bite at a time, just keep eating! Find your small bite and start there. You for this!
@@TenThumbsProductions thank you so much for taking the time to reply and cheer me on ❤️
