Robert~ This is cheating and shouldn't be allowed, I know, but a friend of mine taught me this trick. (This girl NEVER used her LH pinky except for C#/G#. But she started to use it later on and liked it. This is still a good thing to remember though.) Anyhow...
If you have long fingers, you can hit the RH Eb key at an odd angle or with the ball of your pinky. Then, by rolling your pinky quickly upward, you can hit the Ab key. I rarely have to do this, but when playing, sometimes rolling your pinky is all you can do to play the "impossible" progressions. I hate doing it myself, but when necessary, it works.
Those of you who reply saying that I shouldn't do this, I do NOT use it as a crutch or as a shortcut. It's just that with some POS altos it's necessary.
