I'm trying to master a piece that uses F, F# and G# altissimo (3 and 4 ledger lines above the stave)
I've looked at the TamingTheSaxophone sheet and the F and F# come out lovely with, dare I say it, not a bad tone
However, I can't move from the F# fingering (aux F + Left2 + SK3) to the G# fingering (Left1 + Left3 + Right1 + SK2)
I've had a look at some postings here but can't find anything that works for me
Should I persevere with these fingerings (ie. it's just a matter of getting my fingers around the transition) or is there an easier and more efficient way to move from the F# to the G# and back again?
