In fact, 5 of the white key scales have the same fingering. Here’s the good news: the fingering for the G scale is exactly the same as the C scale! On the other hand, if the X has a 1 before it and a 3 after it, this means you will be crossing your 3rd finger over your thumb and repositioning your hand from there. If the X has a 3 before it and a 1 after it, this means you will be tucking your thumb underneath your 3rd finger and then repositioning your hand from there. The x’s stand for finger crosses.Īnytime you see a finger cross X, there are two options of what it could mean. For the right hand, you’ll start with your thumb on G, then play your 2 on A, and 3 on B. Each note should be played as its own distict note, yet still connected (just don’t blur them together).Īs you play, follow the finger numbers on the diagram.
To play the G scale, press down each note shown in the diagram above, starting with the G on the far left and working your way to the G on the far right. Below the diagram shows which notes to play, with the right hand and left hand fingerings underneath. Let’s take a look at the notes that are included in this scale.

These pitches follow the major scale formula (keep reading farther down for more info on that). The seven notes in the G major scale are as follows: G, A, B, C, D, E, and F#. What are the 7 notes in the G major scale? I recommend learning the C scale first and then coming here to learn G. It is a very easy scale to learn since it only has one black note in it.
The G scale is an important scale on the piano that starts on the note G and has one sharp. The G major piano scale has one sharp and is the second scale you should be learning (with C major being the first!) If you are just getting started with scales, don’t worry-I’m going to break this down step by step with notes, fingerings, and diagrams to help you along the way.
