The full fingerboard map · From Zero to Mozart

REFERENCE — everything you've learned across Movements B, C and D, plus the two positions still to come (sixth-and-seventh-position), in one place. This is the table every Stage 6 lesson's fingering is copied from — not re-derived, not approximated.

The whole map, 1st finger, every position

Position	G string	D string	A string	E string
Half	G♯/A♭	D♯/E♭	A♯/B♭	F♮
1st	A	E	B	F♯
2nd	B♭	F	C	G
3rd	C	G	D	A
4th	D	A	E	B
5th	E	B	F♯	C♯
6th	F	C	G	D
7th	G	D	A	E

Read a column top to bottom and you're reading one string's whole climb up the neck. Read a row and you're seeing every string in the same position — always a perfect 5th apart from its neighbour, since the open strings themselves are a perfect 5th apart and a position moves every finger by the same amount.

How to play it

Play it slowly, one note per shift, checking each landing against the table above before moving on. This is a map to consult, not a daily drill — the daily work is in each position's own lesson.

The A string, open to the octave, one note per position — every position this course names, in order. Notice 7th position lands exactly an octave above the open string: the same node as the octave natural harmonic (Movement G).

Try it

Try

Pick any string. Without looking at the table, say the note name for 1st, 3rd and 5th position out loud — the three you've actually drilled. Then check yourself against the table. Half, 2nd, 4th, 6th and 7th are for lookup, not memorisation; 1st, 3rd and 5th should already live in your hand.

The usual mistake

Trying to memorise all eight rows at once. This table exists so you don't have to — it's a reference for the positions you haven't drilled yet (or have half-forgotten), not a chart to recite. Trust the landmarks you've built (the 3rd-position frame copy, the 5th-position thumb touch) over rote memory every time.
