yes, I think the “run up” is the best way to tackle it. this way you can “hear” the steps going up to it and being able to hear is a lot of it.
if you can get it, even a little your job now is to maintain it for longer. the secret is to hold that feeling of when it is that you ARE getting it. So, you have given us some very good news that you can at least hit it, if even for a short moment.
Yea G is a beast!
I play F# G# and A altissimo regularly on a live basis but the dang G isn’t as easy! Luckily most of my stuff is in F# {darn guitar player}. Lol. So I honestly don’t use G often. But need to keep at it for when I do need to!
Keep at it!
Jake, if you’re good with the F# just practice rolling all fingers off except your 1st right hand finger which should be on the top key (forked F# fingering)…..make sense?
