Yeah, keymapping and speedmods. If you hit the option key you get access to both.
First thing's optional, but if you want an easier way to play the same game map the keys so that you can use two fingers from both hands on each key comfortably; something like q = left, w = down, o = up, p = right. This is known as 'spread' play, as opposed to one-handed on the arrow keys. It's up to you how you want to play, though; you can even learn both ways at once.
Speedmods: The faster the speedmod is, the faster the arrows go, but the song stays the same speed. This means patterns will be more spread out on the screen, and the visual area in which you'll hit a perfect is wider; both of these make reading visually easier, so use the highest speedmod you can comfortably read at.
EDIT: Oh, and one more thing. The lifebar is really lenient (a single perfect gives back as much life as a boo or miss takes away), so you can pass any song by mashing the arrow keys at a steady pace, but this isn't a good tactic to rely apon. In general, you should aim to minimize your good, average and boo counts while still comboing as much as you can. Mash only if it's to full combo a short really hard part you couldn't otherwise; if you have to mash the whole song to get through, find something easier.
