I still don't have ALL the proper right-handed major scale fingerings, esp the A# major scale as an example. (I'll assume it starts on the first finger). If I recall, G# also throws me.

So that's probably the priority right now.

BUT, then I need the proper left handed fingerings for practice. I know the C major left and right, that's easy. (right hand 1,2,3,1,2,3,4,5...left hand 5,4,3,2,1,3,2,1.) I need the rest of the major scales for now, any additional would be an added plus.

Is there a site that shows me?

Thanks.

P.S. I've wanted to learn this forever anyway, but I was watching a video by the band Toto from the 80's, the song 'Africa', and noticed the keyboard player playing the solo on the left and right hand, an octive away, and couldn't help wondering...how did he arrive at which fingers were appropriate for which notes when it came to his left (or right!) hand? Hence, this post.

Thanks again. I look forward to finally getting this down.
