Do your ukulele solos still sound like you’re playing a scale? In this lesson, you’ll learn how to turn the C major/A minor pentatonic scale into musical phrases that travel across the fretboard.

We’ll explore two pentatonic pockets, connect them with slides, and learn two riffs—one that moves up the neck and another that brings us back down. We’ll then play everything over a simple Am–C backing track.
