I'm fairly new to emacs myself, at least for everyday use. I have found
that using my left "baby" finger for Ctrl works best. For Alt, I use
either thumb, depending upon where on the keyboard the second keystroke
is located. Since the Alt keys are located on either side of the space
bar, it comes pretty naturally.
