Ukulele scales are a byproduct of a family of notes that sound pleasing together – usually a key. They serve as the foundation to a tonality (major or minor).

Since the fretboard of an ukulele is a crazy matrix, it’s very useful to have scale charts available for reference as you study.

Free PDF Scales Collection

The best resource I can offer you here is this huge collection of over 150 pages of ukulele scale reference diagrams and charts in PDF. This free bundle of files includes 14 scale types and a guide on implementing them.

Each page looks like this and contains two different chart variations: notes and scale degrees.

This image is web optimized to save space, but the images in the PDFs are full 300dpi so you can blow them up to monster sizes without losing quality.

This collection contains a whole book’s worth of charts and instruction and is a detailed and expansive guide to the notes on the fretboard. And it’s available to you for free.

Once you download and extract the .zip file (just double click on most computers), you’ll have 15 PDF files of uke scales:

Chord

The first two measures of each staff shows the scale in it’s lowest position starting from the root and the last two measures are an octave higher. If you play an ukulele with a high-g then the low ukulele scales might sound off, but the note locations are the same – just in different octaves. The “spelling” is to the right of the link and based off of the root major scale.
