Fingerings

Author: Mark P. Jasuta

Hi,
I need some opinions on which fingerings for C7, C#7, F7, and F#7 work the best in terms of ease of play and being in tune, with "in tune" being most important.

Best Regards
Mark

Good grief, you working on Cat Andersen transcriptions or something? What chart are you playing that actually has written triple F naturals and F sharps; more than that, actually serves a legitimate musical purpose?

As for the C7 natural and C7 sharp (on rare occasion blowing the Trad), I always use the standard C7 natural fingering and an overblown standard E6 and A6 natural fingering for the C7 sharp. Other than that, l leave chirping for the birds. v/r Ken

LOL - I've not heard a bird chirp like a clarinet in its altissimo register ... um, I take it back, sounds exactly like the Eastern Rozella who frequents my garden and sings to me, without fail, at 6am before my alarm goes off.
