Fingering help
on: November 05, 2024, 12:56:07 PM
Hi all

Still learning how to play. What is the best LH fingering for this? I can't seem to get comfortable any which way.

Thanks in advance.

I'd do 1525 1515. Make sure all the muscles controlling your thumb are completely relaxed whenever it's not pressing a key.

Depending on your hand size, 2-5-3-5-2-5-1-5-2-5-3-5-2-5-1-5 might be pretty comfortable, too.

2-5-3-5-2-5-1-5-2-5-3-5-2-5-1-5

That's really awkward to me.

1525 1515.

That's kinda awkward, but I gues it's something I will just have to get used to.

Thanks both.
