D Major Scale — 2 Octaves with a Shift to 3rd Position

A one-page scale guide with every finger number marked, high and low finger spacing, and a step-by-step walkthrough of the shift to third position on the E string.

The two-octave D major scale, ascending and descending, with a fingering chart for each string and the shift clearly marked — G with a low 2nd finger in first position, up to A with the 1st finger in third position, and the matching shift back down.

There's a finger-spacing legend for the spots that trip people up (the high 2nds on the D and A strings, the high 3rd and low 4th on the E string), a numbered guide to executing the shift smoothly, and a side-by-side of first- and third-position placement on the E string so you can see exactly where the hand is moving to.
