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.
