Tony,

when you get that high in the overtone series, everything is so close together that it almost doesn't matter what fingerings you use. also, it can vary greatly from horn to horn. the best way i know of to figure them out, however, is to sit down with an electric tuner, and begin using the fingerings that you would use in a lower octave. you may find that you can play that G using 1 and 2, or just 1, or just 2, but maybe only one of those will be remotly in tune. it's basically all ears and lips up there. i don't think it'll take you very long to experiment and see what fingerings work best for you.

-Bill
