Hey Jermaine,
2 questions:
1) Why didn’t you guys include the fingering for going back down the scale? Am I to assume it’s always simply the forward fingering in reverse? That didn’t seem to work with a couple of them, like E flat for instance.
2. Should we practice doing the scales with both hands together, or separately? Or, master them separately then together?
Thanks,
Ron

Evan
very helpful its kinda easy…i actually figured it out. Wow!!! Thanks alot
this is my comment, i have already been through the major scales, but dicide to look back at this lesson for revisions, to my knowledge of major scales, the fingering you gave for the scales are indeed correct,before writing this comment i took the time to check,… carefully… on the fingering of the scales and found them to be in the correct order given internationally…,to up coming musicican, please let us check our notes carefully when given,
TO TEACHER JERMAINE,
KEEP ON IMPARTING MUSIC, ITS SO VITAL FOR THE SOUL
This was easy :) thank you.
Hi Jermaine,
I am very happy, I am learning the scales now, and I am grateful that you teach me.

I wanted to learn everything so I bought the 300 page lesson , Introduction to chords 101, 102. I have the Christmas chord collection, I listen to chat sessions all the time. Now I’m feeling inundated with so much material and not a clue where to start. You were absolutely right when you said you’ve got to have a plan and I need one. Can you help me?
This is really great.I never really expected an online course to be so interesting. I love it
Thank You for the info….makes it so easy to want to learn.
love u.
I love the fingering chart!
I learned my scales by reading sheet music with the finger numbers below each note, and it was awful. So much easier to just look at a chart and say, “Oh, okay, Gb is 2-3-4-1-2-3-1-2.” I don’t know why the other way is so much harder, but it is.
To any beginners – I strongly urge you to use Jermaine’s method to learn the major scales and the correct fingering. It will save you hundreds of hours of heartache.
Oh! My God. This seems to be too good to be true. Uncle Jermaine, keep up the good work with your team and please permit me to say that I’ve made you my role model and one my dreams in life is to see you face to face. Only God can truely reward the good job you are doing. Thanks and God bless you real good.
