Recommended fingering for "Hometown Glory" intro
Ironically, I find the intro to Adele's Hometown Glory easier to play than the main song; what sounds like a standard 'indie' vamp is deceptively difficult for me (reminds me a Carl Czerny study), and Neil Cowley's voicing really makes it sound out for me.
Is it just 2+5 and 1+4 all the way through? Does anyone have any recommendations?

I ran over this, and I don't find that using 4 is comfortable on the first chord. I use 5-2 on the first sixth, and 3-1 on the following fifth. Normally, in the second measure, I would finger it 5-2 and 4-1, but in this case I again use 3-1 on the Ab-F, since 3 is already on the F from the previous measure. In the fourth measure I use 4-2 and 3-1, again because the 3 is already on the F. If your hands are too small to use 3 all the time on the F, then switch back and forth between 3 and 4 as necessary.
