"In this video I'll be demonstrating the proper fingering for a G major scale and arpeggio. To start off, start in the first position but then shift. Put your first finger where your second finger was. Now your second finger is on G.

So you start with your second finger on G, first finger on B, open D string, fourth finger on F-sharp, open G string."
