<slightly...I don't know...,slightly something, anyway> My
fingering book lists four G fingerings, two of them being 'preferred'.
None of them are R1-3:

(1) no fingers -- preferred (easiest)

(2) L3 + R1 + R2 -- preferred (best sound)

(3) E key (left pinky) + R1 + R2

(4) G# key (right pinky) + R1 + R2 + R3

On my student plastic Yamaha, and given my beginner's status, (2) sounds
horrible to me and (1) is second best. R1+R2+R3 does, in fact, sound
the best to me and my tuner likes it best also. Adding the G#, as in
(4), detracts.

Live and learn.
