Re: 1-hand bossing
 

damn, can you 1hand piano? lol

Re: 1-hand bossing
 

That would probably sound pretty empty :P

Re: 1-hand bossing
 

good stuff :) do you normally play one handed?

Re: 1-hand bossing
 

Always do.

I actually fell to peer pressure last week and gave 2 handed spread a try. Can't freakin' do doubles half as fast as I do them with 1 hand. Gave up.

Been playing 1 handed since I started on the site.

Re: 1-hand bossing
 

spread takes some getting used to, but it's way more fun in the long run :)

Re: 1-hand bossing
 

Well since you play piano, your trilling will be really good. Switch to spread if you can :]

I don't play a lot of pieces that require trilling so my trills are pretty bad atm.

Re: 1-hand bossing
 

wait you dont play with a speedmod?

Re: 1-hand bossing
 

Nope. Should I lol?

I play with default speed.

Re: 1-hand bossing
 

with a higher speed mod, there are larger gaps between notes, and it is much easier to distinguish between/read patterns, and reduce clutter - especially on more note-heavy songs.

It may seem uncomfortable at first, but it will pay off and you will become a better player very quickly. Try upping your speed mod to 1.25x, play on that until you are comfortable, then 1.5x and fianlly 1.75x. (anything above that is not as efficient enough to read with FFR's 30FPS)

Re: 1-hand bossing
 

I've actually gotten used to deciphering clutters. The only thing limiting me now is the speed at which 3 fingers can do something.

I've even developed techniques where my fingers move to different keys to make it faster and all. Reading really isn't a problem.

Re: 1-hand bossing
 

I think you'd be surprised how much your accuracy will improve if you increase your speedmod a bit (once you get used to it anyway). Even though I can read speedmods somewhat far away from the one I normally use, I have terrible accuracy with them. So it's worth a try, at least.

Re: 1-hand bossing
 

I've tried 2x before. It only gives me less time to know what I'm about to do. My accuracy is only bad because going that fast with 1 hand sometimes the fingers have a hard time coming back in place on time lol

Re: 1-hand bossing
 

The 'increase your speedmod' advice works best for spread, for one-handed you're more likely to be dexterity-bound than readability-bound

Re: 1-hand bossing
 

Try 1.5 that might work a bit better if 2 is too fast. lol
I personally play on 2.05. :P

Re: 1-hand bossing
 

Rofl, going from 1.0x to 2.0x is just... Wtf. 1.25 is a good idea. :3

Re: 1-hand bossing
 

jumping from 1x to 2x is actually a terrible jump to do haha
really try upping it to maybe like 1.25 and getting used to that first before going to like 1.5 or somethihng

Edit: rofl double ninja'd

Re: 1-hand bossing
 

2x is too fast for me even lol. I'm sure I could get used to it if I wanted to, but I'm fine at 1.75.
