Finger style
I'm able to do difficult songs without a problem
I use my left hand for the left arrow key, and then right index for the other 3 I can see how this would effect things like: because I can't do them. should i change it? ive played like 2,800 games in 2 months with this and im stuck to it |

Re: Finger style
Try index because staircases are really easy on index!

Re: Finger style
Index is a lot easier for staircases, or one hand two fingers.

Re: Finger style
I've also been playing with speedmods (1.5x), they make it seem easier >.>

Re: Finger style
I play index. Let me give you the pros and cons.
Pros: --You'll be good at stream (particularly staircases) --You'll have a very nice PA (for the most part; this isn't true for everyone) --Trills shouldn't be as much of a problem for you as it may be for other positions Cons: --Index is more draining on your fingers than spread --You won't be as good at crossovers --Jumpstream is much harder for an index player than it is for a spread player. You choose what you want to do. If you don't want to play index, I suggest playing spread.

Re: Finger style
Here are some pros and cons of spread:
Pros: --Jumpstream is a lot easier and can be PA'd with little difficulty --PA tends to be a little bit better on most songs than if you play index --It is much easier to combo stream, because you do not have to worry if it is a crossover or not --If you are stuck on a part, it is much easier to mash playing spread Cons: --Good luck with long runningmen or trills --Sometimes your PA gets screwy if you play songs that have a lot of 1 handed parts in it --Long streams that are index friendly tend to be a little more difficult |

Re: Finger style
Alright, basically what I was stating in my post said I was playing index with a little twist, it isn't much different.
I tried spread, and its hard to get used to. I'm gonna keep trying though. |

Re: Finger style
Switching from one-hand three finger to spread was a rough transition for me too, I found the best thing to do to learn spread was do songs you barely ever did with your old style.
The old habits die pretty hard, and I would fail out of songs I could FC 3-finger at first. |

Re: Finger style
Hmm, ok, but I can only do standard, tricky, and difficult songs. And I've been on this difficulty so long, I think i've played em all

Re: Finger style
well what you could do is become hybrid and practice index first since your basically doing a bootleg index, and then transition to spread and stick with that or stick with index, if you do this you have a choice of doing both without practicing to hard.

Re: Finger style
Do both. I know that I play spread and for running men and fast trills I switch over to index when possible.

Re: Finger style
My trick isnt the best but it should help you get through. I can almost full combo challenging songs with 1 hand.
Try this : UP(middle finger) LEFT(finger left to ur middle finger) DOWN(middle finger) RIGHT(finger on the right side of ur middle finger) When doing the up/down double note use index for down and middle finger for up. Works very well for me |

Re: Finger style
This is what I do and it gets me through a few challenging songs:
left: index right: ring up/down: middle on up/down combos, stick my middle finger straight out and push down What do ya'll think about this? |

Re: Finger style
As an aside, having taken the time to learn/get good at playing spread, the pattern you included in your original post went from one of the ones that gave me a lot of trouble playing 3-finger/1-hand to one of the ones I can do most easily playing spread.
You do get better at keeping your fingers straight playing spread. |
