Key layouts major

for all possible major scales available on the 3 row instrument

I use a 3-row instrument in the scale of D-G-C as an example, but these patterns are usable on all instruments with different scales. Only the scale names have to be replaced if used on different scales.

Play on the following rows as the main row for playing:

Playing in the 1st row, D-major

Playing in the 2nd row, G-major

Playing in the 3rd row, C-major

I recommend to start exercising on the middle row, then go on with the inner 3rd row and then proceed with the outer 1st row. I also recommend to play or try to play the same tune in high and in low position as well, this way you can find the best sounding position for the respective tune.

Now the key layouts:

Playing in the 2nd row, G-major

Push, scale 2nd row. All seven notes of the diatonic scale are present in three different octaves (positions on the key layout). The most important keys are printed bold. The Gleichton is underlined.

Pull, scale of the middle row. In low position the 3rd scale note is missing, in the high position the 5th note is missing too. If these notes are needed in the tune one has to change to pull direction for these notes. If this is done the bass position (fingers) has to be changed too.
