piano fingering help

• Jul 17, 2014 - 09:46

Hello!

I transcribed this song using Muse Score, but could use some help learning to play it. I started learning piano last week and cannot figure out the left hand fingering for this passage

can someone tell me which fingers I should use for the bass clef? Thanks!

Full score if you want it I'll attach, it's "Good Company" from the movie Oliver and company, spent some time transcribing it and I think it's just about right

no help in fingering from me, but... seems you dragged some stems away from where they belong and use the wrong key? IMHO it should be F-major (one b) rather than G-major (one #), making that change and you don't need any accidental in the score

yeah you're right! It turned out that way after hearing a version in that key, then realized that version was different than the one I wanted to play, so I deleted everything and re-did it still in that key for some reason.

I need to change that, thanks for the heads up

Arpeggiated chords after only one week...welcome aboard!
Perhaps the attachment will help.

Regards.

That fingering doesn't fit well with the Bflat arpeggio.

Try this tweak

Indeed!
For the B flat arpeggio, using the thumb on F3 is definitely more comfortable; and the crossover with 3 nicely sets up the 3-2-1 fingers for the following Bb - D - F.

Thanks, and regards!

Alfred's Complete Book of Scales, Arpeggios and Cadences is one way to get most of what you need.
