Help with left hand fingering positions.
on: February 28, 2011, 12:57:37 AM
I'm having a hard time trying to figure out how to move my left fingers with this pattern.
can anyone help me and teach me how to correctly transition here in each note with my left hand?

For both bars, I keep starting with 5 (pinky), 2 (index), 1 (thumb), crossover with 3 (middle),
and going back down the notes, would just be going in reverse.

which i don't think is right... :l

thanks.

Could you try 5 3 2 1 2 3 5 (for both bars)? That's what I would do...  Doesn't require any crossovers, and seems comfortable when I try it.
