Thanks for the replies guys! I'm still having a little trouble.
Can somebody help me with the following.
(Forgive me for not having the right terminology when referring to keys or position) Feel free to correct me on terms or anything for that matter, I'm just trying to learn.
Let's see if I can make this clear
I'm having trouble reading a fingering chart when it comes to the LH side keys (for lack of a better word) in the upper register.
Lets say I start with high C sharp (open fingering with thumb key), now going up the chromatic scale are the following correct
D - thumb key and the first LH side key that's closest to me
Eb - thumb key and first LH side key that's closest to me along with the middle side key
E - same as Eb, but with the top first side key on the RH (two above the Bb key on the RH)
F - same as E, but with all three LH side keys press down
F# - ??? how do you comfortably get to a F# from there.
Thanks again for all your help...Its hard for me to tell which side key is which looking at dotted fingering charts.
