Notes on the Fingerings
All of these fingerings for low E push down the same pads and will sound exactly the same. Your choice of fingering depends on what note you just played, and what note you are going to play next. For example, if you are moving from Low E to Low F, you should always use Fingering #1 or #3, because they involve less finger motion. If you have to play E and then Low G sharp, you should use fingering #2 because it will allow you to make a much smoother transition.
