Fingerings of the 3-notes-per-string major scale

The major scale is distinguished by a half step between the 3rd/4th and 7th/1st tone, resulting in the interval structure of 1-1-½-1-1-1-½. From each of the seven notes, a fingering is built according to modes I-VII and the root A marked by a circle. To play these patterns in different keys, move them using the transposing table.
