On trombone, they`re called slide positions, not fingerings. Just for future reference.

Which is what`s wrong with music education in this country. After 4 years, you should know ALL twelve major and minor scales. It`s like not knowing how to add and subtract after taking math for four years.

I`ll give you the notes for all twelve major scales. You should be able to figure out the positions. I won`t be doing you any favors by spoonfeeding them to you:

C - D - E - F - G - A - B - C
Db - Eb - F - Gb - Ab - Bb - C - Db
D - E - F# - G - A - B - C# - D
Eb - F - G - Ab - Bb - C - D - Eb
E - F# - G# - A - B - C# - D# - E
F - G - A - Bb - C - D - E - F
Gb - Ab - Bb - Cb - Db - Eb - F - Gb
G - A - B - C - D - E - F# - G
Ab - Bb - C - Db - Eb - F - G - Ab
A - B - C# - D - E - F# - G# - A
Bb - C - D - Eb - F - G - A - Bb
B - C# - D# - E - F# - G# - A# - B

bobsacamo is trying to give you some real advice here, and all you can say is "shut up"??????
listen, man....
anyone spoonfeeding you notes or positions is not doing you any favors, because there is a painfully obvious huge gap in your musical knowledge that needs to be addressed.
if you know the notes, but not the positions, you really need to step back, go back to your beginning books, and take it SLOW!!.. because somewhere along the line, certain things were not absorbed the first time around.. maybe you tried to go too fast???
if you`re fine with positions, but don`t know the notes (or better yet, don`t know the scales).. it`s time to start visitng (or revisitng, whichever the case may be) your music theory..
with some basic knowledge of the circle of fifths, or half step/whole step patterns, you have the knowledge and capability to figure out any scale for yourself!!!!!!!!
if you don`t have one, get a private teacher...
as far as i`m concerned.. playing trombone is the easy part.. "MUSIC" is the difficult instrument. and it seems to be where everyone wants to get lazy.
