    Exercises to get faster fingers?

    I have a huge problem doing really fast passages, and the fact that either I can't move my fingers that fast, or my wrists seize up and slow my fingers down, I can't combo a damn thing in a song above a 9.

    So tiring wrists, inability to do bursts with fingers, and just a general lack of rhythm, how do I improve nimbleness of fingers so I can do stuff like....FC CIA Rave and high combo Silence.

    It's really hurting my overall average score.

    -A question on the side, how many of you top FFR players (especially Shashakiro) either play really good piano (could actually play a classical piece), or are powerlifters with more wrist strength than you know what to do with?

              Just play ffr a lot. When I started ffr I could barely keep up with 170 bpm streams. After three weeks of ffr, I went back to stepmania and found out that I could keep with 190 and even a few 200+ bpm songs.

                      If you're in a math class and you have a graphing calculator, put your fingers on 2 4 6 8 and keep clicking those in a pattern until the calculator runs out of memory.
                      It's good practice...seriously.

                          I've been wondering this as well, I can keep up with songs but I cant do anything past Very Difficult. I can do harder songs but I can't fc them.

                              Okay, being serious this time:

                              PRACTICE
                              PRACTICE PRACTICE
                              PRACTICE PRACTICE PRACTICE

                              and Stepmania.

                                  Pretty much the same as him. I've passed all the available songs, at least.

                                      Those rubber balls that you squeeze are good.
