Fingering of the natural minor scale in seven positions

The natural minor scale in A consists of the notes A, B, C, D, E, F and G. A distinct fingering is formed from each of these seven steps, named by natural church modes I-VII and its root A marked by a circle. To play these patterns in a different key, they must be moved according to the transposing table.
