BASIC FINGER POSITION GUIDE


Legend :
1 = Left hand index finger
2 = Left hand middle finger
3 = Left hand ring finger
4 = Left hand little finger


Example # 1

Example # 1 : C Major Scale - Do the same fingering on the descent.

Example # 2

Example # 2 : A minor 7th Scale - Do the same fingering on the descent.


Suggestion : Use your own fingering style if this does not fit you and also manage to create your own comfortable fingering on the other scales. (Works best with using the most comfortable finger you use on the next closest note your hand allows you to reach.) Some particular difficult instrumental parts require strict finger position discipline.
