Ultralocrian on guitar (G#)

Ultralocrian in G#: G# – A – B – C – D – E – F. On the guitar, six strings open the scale into wide shapes — there is room to choose the region of the neck that sings best. The box shown runs from fret 1 to 4; the lowest tonic sits on the 6th string, fret 4, and the hand stays put in the region, with no position shift. Its hollow wooden body gives every chord a warm, natural ring that blooms and fades on its own.

Once the shape is memorized, play the box in thirds — the real memory test.

Read the dots by degree: 1 is the tonic (highlighted); the rest follow the scale's formula.
