I noticed a four finger V2 in the making.

I play like so:

Left Middle <
Right Index >
Left Index V
Right Middle ^

meno_rocks123 · 03-10-2007, 12:28 PM

I use
left index v
left middle <
right index ^
right middle >

once again, wrong. Who the hell uses two hands and doesn't use four fingers?

Read post because I did. And its quite affective too.
right middle <
left middle v ^
right ring >

And you spread on the laptop using the num keys. thats what my friend did.

And I don't understand how people can play with their right index ^ and right middle >. It seems like that would tire out the hand so much because of the position it is in.

4 Fingers One Hand V2:

left- right hand, index finger
up- right hand, middle finger
right- right hand, ring finger
down- left hand, index finger

Is this a mistake?

Ambigrams · 03-10-2007, 10:54 PM

Wow, i've switched from one hand to spread and it's certainly alot easier.

**hoochan** · 03-10-2007, 11:36 PM

You should add pictures.

Not worth a sticky even with pics, already in FAQ.

Pfft, barily. Synth doesn't exlain where to put your fingers.

g4z33b0 · 03-11-2007, 08:27 PM

If you are reading the FAQ then best guess is that the only "keys" you will be using are the arrows or the numberpad. So its basically self explanatory. Im not saying this is a bad guide, just a sticky isn't really necessary.

Billydude · 03-12-2007, 02:27 PM

Where should I put my fingers?
Do what feels natural to you. The most common play styles are:

"Four-finger": one finger on each key

"Three-finger": index and middle finger on your main hand, index finger only on the other

"Index": both index fingers covering all four keys

"One-hand": three or four fingers on one hand only

Each have their advantages and disadvantages. Try them all to feel what works best for you, and then pick one and stick with it to improve your skill. Most people agree that one-hand is the most difficult, though.

This is all they have on the FAQ. Not nearly as many hand position or details. It never even mentions the num pad actually.

Fingering:
Dominant hand index finger goes on: alternates on up and down arrow key v ^
Dominant hand middle finger goes on: right arrow key >
Off hand index finger goes on: left arrow key <

So a lefty has to cross their fingers over? XD

Fix please

spinal_compression · 03-12-2007, 09:10 PM

Still could use some pictures!
Like a shot of someones keyboard.
And the placement of your fingers on the keyboard shown.

**DarkbearX** · 03-12-2007, 09:18 PM

There's standard left right 8 6 spread. I might make other shots later.

Billydude · 03-16-2007, 04:52 PM

I'm serious this needs to be stickied. Meaningful bump.

falcondude · 03-16-2007, 04:52 PM

Agreed. Sticky this please.

Billydude · 03-16-2007, 04:57 PM

Okay, apparently MODs don't check the newbie forum. Which MOD do you think will be most likely to sticky this?

bobbyluigi · 03-16-2007, 05:11 PM

haha i thought i was unique for using left down 8 6 fingering, but im switching to spread now anyway

falcondude · 03-16-2007, 05:12 PM

Uhh... what? Left down 8 6 IS spread. Wtf?
