Hi,

Can you read the fingerings for the scales and chords? I was wondering that, because I sometimes wonder what the best way is to finger scales.

Thanks.

Jim

hi. Yes you can see the correct fingering for scales and chords. You have just to double tap on scale or chords and you can see all information about it.
