Major Scale Fingerings, Group III

Each of the group 3 scales has its own, unique fingering. There is one other finger set to remember for this group, called "Frog Feet." Don't ask me how I came up with that. It is just the middle and ring fingers. You'll see the "Peace Sign" again in this group but not the "3 Amigos" from Group II.

The grey columns indicate black notes so that it will be easier to see the "shape" of the black/white key layout of the scales.
