If you are talking about 3rd octave G#, this site lists twenty-three different fingerings for this note. I don't play sax myself, so I can't tell you which is best. Click on Instruments on the menu down the left side of this screen, then click on Saxophone / Basic Fingering / Altissimo. If you can't see the menu down the left side, go to page http://www.wfg.sneezy.org/.

If you're thinking of the low g#, here's what you can do..
Usually you use the g#-key on your left pinky, but the c# key right under will do just as well..
Hope it helps../niklas
