You normally put it on the thumb key, which is the longer key right next to the circular one. Or you can do the alternate fingering, which is where you put your thumb on the circular key. Pick the one that's most comfortable for you.

On a typical flute, 'low' g requires the left hand thumb to close the hole at the back of the flute, and the 1st, 2nd and 3rd fingers of the the left hand close all the upper holes just above it. This means that all the holes controlled by the left hand are closed. All the holes controlled by the right hand are open.


How do you finger an a sharp on the flute?

A sharp is the same as B flat. So normally you would use left thumb, left index finger, right index finger, and left pinky. Or... You can use the double left thumb key (the one on the left) and left index finger with left pinky. The second fingering is usually easier, unless there is a Cb in the key signature, then you may want to use the first. The first fingering is usually taught first.
