Scale Maps — Cavaquinho

A cavaquinista's fills start here — 24 scale types, twelve roots apiece, every map lighting the strings that matter.

The Cavaquinho scale reference: choose a root and one of 24 types, and the notes arrive mapped across DGBD with every root marked.

Four strings tuned DGBD put a scale somewhere honest and a little cramped: two or three notes to a string, no spare string to hide on, and every open pair climbing rather than doubling back. These maps mark every root so the top voice never loses home mid-run.
