"For more detail on some of the fundamentals to focus on, the first one would just be getting the timing right on lone taps, everything else in the game builds off that skill. Passengers [Beginner] is a good song for practicing timing, it just has lone notes without any jumps or patterns. It might take some practice to get your timing accurate and consistent, but once you start getting the hang of it you should be able to get a AAA on Passengers and move on to some of the other fundamentals."-AAA DONE

YO i saw this thread bumped up again so i went to take a look at your scores and there is some serious improvement even within this short time! Getting those AAAs and other single-digit-good (SDG) scores is really good. keep up the progress! i really like how intentional your practice is and your ability to utilize the advice in this thread

Thank you very much I practice when i have time it's good fun.

I know that in order to get better at anything, I need to practice, practice, practice. But sometimes, I feel discouraged or bored by the repetition. That’s why I try to find ways to make my practice more fun and engaging. For example, when I practice my English skills, I use different sources of input, such as books, podcasts, movies, and games. I also challenge myself to use new words and expressions in my output, such as writing, speaking, or chatting.

My tip for practicing is:
-Try all the step files. Whether you are trying a new beginner song or a new Guru song, you will see how much better your accuracy and speed has increased since you last checked.
-Note songs that have specific things like easy 8th/16th/32nd notes (depending on your skill level), doubles, syncopation that are around your level or slightly beyond and practice each of these.
-Try different genres. Even if you don't necessarily like a song, the stepfile might be a great training tool. Remember you can always mute your speakers.
-Having played this game too much and focused on FCs, Blackflags, and AAAs I will tell you what brought the FUN back into the practice:
--Find a song you really like and put it off limits. What I mean is you do not try to FC, Flag, nor AAA it. Ever. Play this song as the last song you play for the day as a sort of resting point/palette cleanser.
---I made my choice once I knew I could pass every song and that choice was/is Playdoh. I don't restart it, I just monitor my progress, see which fingers are working and what step combinations make me struggle. Why? Because if you are working so hard on a hobby that it stops being fun, it is no longer a hobby it is just work
