Music Theory

Every scale follows a specific pattern of intervals (steps). The Major Pentatonic scale is built using the interval formula: 2 - 2 - 3 - 2 - 3. On the ukulele, because of the shorter fretboard and 4 strings, mastering these patterns is a great way to improve your improvisation and melody lines.
