"In this video I'll be demonstrating the fingering for a D-major scale and arpeggio. So you start with a open D string, first finger on E, fourth finger on F-sharp, open G string, first finger on A, fourth finger on B, and then you shift with your second finger on C-sharp, it's the same note as D-flat, and fourth finger on D. For the arpeggio you use the same fingering but with the proper notes. Fourth finger, first finger, shift."
