The A major scale consists of the notes A, B, C#, D, E, F# and G#. Consequently, the interval between 3rd/4th and 7th/1st scale degree is only a half step, while the remaining notes are a whole step apart. To implement this structure of 1-1-½-1-1-1-½ in all positions of the guitar neck, five fingerings are necessary, in which the root A is marked with a circle. To move a pattern to another key, use the transposing table.
