i used to play the same way you do. but when you start to do harder songs, its hard to keep up with them.

its pretty easy if you keep practising on 1 song. i keep playing jelly roll blues in misc page 6 i thinki and the difficulty is VC but i can handle it. almost fullcombo using 2 index and middle finger

I use the arrow-keys, and I put my middle-finger from my left hand on the left arrow-key, my index-finger from my left hand on the down arrow-key, and my index-finger from my right hand on the right arrow key. I usually use my middle-finger from my left hand for the up arrow-key, except when I'm doing jump-streams, I use my index-finger from my right hand for the up arrow-key more than my middle-finger from my left hand for the up arrow key. I hope I helped you a little ;D.

I play the exact same as you do.

Spread: Left down 8 6

ursername · 03-29-2008, 02:25 PM

I play spread with DF JK setup. I find it's easier then AS KL for this keyboard.

rzr · 03-29-2008, 02:37 PM

When I'm going for new songs/stats -
Left index finger = left arrow
Right index finger = top/bottom arrow
Right middle finger = right arrow

When I'm bored/trying to impress people-
One hand -
Right index finger = left arrow
Right middle finger = bottom/top arrow
Right ring finger = right arrow

When I'm mashing -
Right index finger = left arrow
Right middle finger = bottom arrow
Right ring finger = left arrow
Left index finger = top arrow

I use arrow keys (4 fingers) the most. I occasionally swich to spread and index for certain songs. Knowing more than one style helps.

Das Mustafah · 03-29-2008, 02:56 PM

One hand, four fingers--thumb for down, index on left, etc.

For real.

jakobsk8 · 03-29-2008, 06:18 PM

I've tried every style (for mapping I used spread and WASD)
I made up one today where you use 4, 6, and 8 on the number pad using the index, middle, and ring digits on the right hand, and the right, down, and left arrows using the same fingers as the right hand (index, middle, ring). It works when you visit someones house and play ffr on a suckish keyboards that dont respond to streams of note hits.

Wordy!

Evan_28 · 03-29-2008, 07:14 PM

A= Middle Left Finger
S= Left Index
K= Right Index
L= Middle Right Finger

I just need to train with right trills but are really good keys,i think

*mysticdarkness* · 03-31-2008, 04:43 PM

wow. didn't know you can use the letter keys o.O I play arrow keys, alternating with my left index and my right [index, middle, ring]. Sometimes I play spread on arrow/ number keys. Whatever feels most comfy...

**dandandamdandan1111** · 03-31-2008, 04:55 PM

I play spread, zxkl. Its by far the most effective for me.

chidori! · 03-31-2008, 04:56 PM

recently i'v been playing with my pinky and that finger next to the pinky all my scores are crap lol

**danny53x** · 03-31-2008, 07:40 PM

I play spread on DF JK because the home row indicators on F and J keep my hands from going to other keys.

RB_Killer · 03-31-2008, 07:45 PM

spread cv il

FlavorMe · 03-31-2008, 07:48 PM

I use zx./.

The only disadvantage to this setup is that I always have to pry up this one key that I strike by accident.
