Default Re: How to get better at FFR

@PrawnSkunk: I believe (through a few typos) that the user is asking about playing faster/more complicated charts with two hands as opposed to one.

So you're trying to become accustomed to playing two-handed? I suppose it starts with familiarizing yourself with the key setup you decide to use (e.g. ASKL). Have yourself become comfortable at partitioning the four arrow columns into two separate parts: left-hand columns (left and up arrows) and right-hand columns (down and right arrows).

Now practice songs to familiarize yourself with the various arrow patterns you may encounter. Some patterns will be biased to one of your hands (e.g. left-down-left-down is a left hand-biased pattern). Others will require you to use both hands in cooperation (e.g. left-down-up-right is a pattern that will transition from your left hand to your right).

At this point, it's just a matter of familiarizing yourself with arrow patterns to improve your hand-eye coordination. When you feel like you know how to approach most types of patterns without much thought, then you can focus on improving your finger speed. In other words, know what you're playing before focusing on speed!
