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

The melodic minor scale is distinguished by a half step between the 2nd/3rd and 7th/1st tone, resulting in the interval structure of 1-½-1-1-1-1-½. From each of the seven notes, a fingering is built according to melodic modes I-VII and the root A marked by a circle. To play these patterns in different keys, move them using the transposing table.
