Sorrrrrry Bill - no BMC.
For High F & G you win a Rover built by BMW. "Ve hav vays und means of
helping you to vin BMW. High F und G is one of zem!"
If the D`s are now easier, here`s another tip to help you along the
British/Germanic <road>.
Forgetting about F`s &G`s for the moment. Approaching the high D from B (or
lower), instead of lifting 1st finger L.H. <straight> off, <roll> it off
slowly and gently - roll it forwards - you
wouldn`t be able to roll it up, as tho` going for 2nd space A. This makes
for smoother connection between whichever note you are joining to the D, and
it
also <cools> down the D, which can speak quite wildly at times. It obviously
doesn`t work for C to D, or Csharp to D. <Important> to realise that this
technique is essentially for <slurring>. One wouldn`t require this method in
tonguing. It`s not easy at first, unless you`ve got agile fingers.
Best wishes,
Tony.
P.S. My spelchecker recommends that I change BMC to BMW!!!!!!! Bill Gates
after that BMW also? Or the very omen you`ve been lookin` for? Are you using
a pseudonym Bill I wonder? - - - - - -
