Good 1-handers... doing challenging+ songs
I'm a 1-hander and I'm able to FC any very difficult song if I try for a while (meaning there's nothing I'm not capable of) and most challenging songs are pretty much doable for me, but a few have stuff that I'm not quite fast enough for.
But how can you really be fast enough to do anything tougher than that? Using your right middle finger on the up and down arrow is just so difficult for these songs... I use a laptop and I can basically slide my finger from the top arrow to the bottom which is faster for me than a regular keyboard, having to lift it up to the other key. Any tips or suggestions? Or is it just practice, practice, practice? |

Don't use 1 hand. 2 hand is the way to go.
I once used 1 hand for 5 years. I could FC Quasar 1.4x rate but now I could AAA it :) |

This is gonna turn into another "zomg 1h's FTL!" thread, isn't it.

Re: Good 1-handers... doing challenging+ songs
uh, best advice i can tell you, is that you probably wont ever be able to AAA a song that has an up down trill. Trust me.. Unless you have some godlike fast middle finger. I usually just hit the up arrow with the top of my middle finger and lay down my middle finger to hit the bottom arrows. Instead of trying to push each arrow with the top of my finger.
its hard to explain, but once you get that, you'll be able to fc a lot more songs, like im able to. |
Re: Good 1-handers... doing challenging+ songs
Quickly switch your index finger to the down arrow key when there are trills and use your middle finger for the up key.. If there aren't any trills then you have to deal with it.
But, if there are 4+ arrows that go up and down I guess you could use your index for the down arrow key if they're bigger than 16th notes.. Depends what the BPM is. lol. |

I just lift up my middle finger instead of sliding it up and down.. Now that I think about it I sort of get the concept of "sliding". I just never thought about THAT before. But when I compare by lifting it's probably the same speed.. I don't usually use my index for the down key commonly. I only do that on extended trills because it's more speed and you don't tire as quickly. (i.e. Max Forever) Tell me if I got the definition of "sliding" wrong though please. Thanks, |

Re: Good 1-handers... doing challenging+ songs
depending on what kind of keyboard you have.
i have a razer tarantula. Perfect for sliding. |

Even if I tried, I could only slide down from the "up" arrow key, to the "down" arrow key since the up key is a little higher than the down one. |

*cough* ..like playing spread.. *cough* |
Re: Good 1-handers... doing challenging+ songs
Use two or four fingers. Those ways are much easier than three if you want to stay one handed IMO.

Re: Good 1-handers... doing challenging+ songs
Sigh, I would suggest spread, but I won't argue this time.
Set hot keys to something like 1324 or adsf or fghj etc...then use 4 fingers there. It is less awkward, and trills are much easier. The hot key thread is the "Mapping keys" sticky at the top of this thread. |
Re: Good 1-handers... doing challenging+ songs
Slide.
For the long 8282 patterns I usually just do them in sets. What I mean is I'll actually take my finger off the keyboard and slide my finger for the 82 pattern then do it again for the next 82s in that set. =/ |

Oh yea, another suggestion. Use lotion.

I can't FC much because I have a problem with keeping my focus straight when I'm playing, not because I'm one-handed.
