Re: So, I need advice from some Guru Pro's.

You basically answered your own question. It takes lots and lots of practice. You have to practice songs that help speed on both of your hands such as AIM Anthem, Club, Crowdpleaser, even Crystalis - House Leaves for more beginner jacking. Don't play the songs too much though, not only will your wrists hurt (maybe even get you CTS) but you may also get mental blocks. I recommend playing at least 5 jacky songs a day, but if you're not used to playing them, I recommend stopping at...let's say 30.

It's really easy to lose yourself in a song. If you are just going for combo, ignore your PA and just hit really early on jacks. It will cause you to get averages and goods, but you WILL FC songs much easier. If you're going for both PA and speed, try not to play songs too out of your skill level. You will ignore the timing frame and you will start hitting early or "vibrating" which can effect your skill in a negative way. Lots of people do this and although their speed truly does increase, they ignore the fact how it kills your PA. Try to find out what a good song for jacking is.

Even Mario Minor would be a good song as they are slow jacks, but still fast enough to practice on. Learn to hit them in the perfect frame the best you can. You have to 2 frames to work with, one that is exact and 1 a little earlier than exact. If you hit 1 frame late, you will get a good so stare at the arrows at the top of the screen and watch for it as it stays in the frame, or a little earlier. It takes some getting used to, but it results in a positive impact.

I'm tired and probably repeated myself a couple times in there, but I have to start my homework. Hope this helps at all, and keep practicing! Even getting Stepmania would be good to do. Stepmania has a wider selection of jacking songs, and one that even helped me improve dramatically: Kasta Sten.

Good luck!

jacking? PA? mental blocks? vibrating? what does this ffr slang mean?

Jacking - repeatedly hitting one arrow (i.e. jackhammers; jacks for short, as commonly used).
PA - Perfect Attack, perfect:everythingelse ratio; accuracy.
Mental blocks - Parts of a song you mess up on every run as a result of whoring too much, or just being unable to do one particular section of the chart.
Vibrating - Tensing up your arms and literally vibrating on the keys to hit extremely fast jacks/bursts while giving a huge "**** you" to MA, or in FFR's case, PA.
