What is the benefit of correct fingering? I just play how I feel comfortable. Is there some method where on the left hand fingers 5 and 4 only play 2nds and 3rds...fingers 5, 3, and 1 only play fourths etc. ?
I just try my best to keep things consistent and comfortable.
I am originally a guitar player and have sort of came to ignoring what was considered correct and playing what felt comfortable and worked for me, so I was just going to apply that approach to piano. Just wondering what your opinions were.
I know the correct fingerings of the basic scales just to get into to initial habit of correct fingering and to become acquainted with piano a bit easier...it wasn't too long though before I started playing what felt comfortable.
If I was to play a G7/D (closed position) or a 3,4,6 above D in figured bass notation I would finger it as 5,4,3,1 in the left hand. Fingers 5 and 4 playing the interval of a 3rd etc...
