I play a different style than all the styles you mentioned. I'm left handed, so I play with two hands and three fingers, but i use my left hand middle finger on the left arrow, my left hand index finger on the down arrow, and my right hand index finger on the right arrow. Most of the time, I use my left hand middle finger for the up arrow, but I sometimes use my right hand index finger for the up arrow when my left hand gets tired. Also, I use my right hand index finger for the up arrow a lot while doing jumpstreams. Furthermore, to get the two hands three fingers section filled up, my pros are that runningmen, rolls, and trills are a lot easier to PA with my style than spread, (but rolls and trills are easier to PA with index); my cons are that jumpstreams and jumps are a lot harder to learn with my style than spread, (but jumpstreams are a lot easier to learn with my style than with index). If you need any more information about my style, don't hesitate to ask ;D. PS, you should add the left hand picture for two hand, three fingered players so that left handed people won't have a harder time learning it because they're unknowingly using the right handed way.

I do the four fingers and two hands thing. It's useful for me, but I can't understand how some people can't place their hands that way on the comp...

Like when someone uses 3 fingers and 4 fingers at once, switching between them for whenever one style is easier to use than the other for a section of a song. right?

**infinity.** · 04-4-2008, 10:24 AM

what about awkward styles like mine:

left index: left arrow (also hitting up and down alot)
right index: down sometimes
right middle: up
right ring: right arrow

i know others that play similar to this,

Two Hands / Four Fingers:
Pros:
Great for jumpstreams
Always have a finger to hit an arrow,
Can do decently fast streams
Very little fatigue
Good for trills and runningmen

Con:
Can be pretty awkward, and tough to learn
Inable to do hands on most keyboards
Makes hold patterns really awkward

I suggest changing all the instances of "noob" to "newb." Remember, noob=stupid/dumb newb=new/beginner.

TYVM for playing IAMP with me, (since there's no one to play right now). :smile
