    How long did it take you to learn spread?

    I just started it today, and it is hell to switch over to. Honestly, for the passed 3 years I made up this weird finger placement thinking that it was spread, but I recently learned I was terribly wrong :P

    When i first played Chlorophyll 2 years ago.

    Realized Jumpstream and all that nonsense is ridiculous strain on the fingers playing index.

    Swicthed to QW89 Spread a week later, insta skillboost on jumpstreams and jacks. It only took me a few weeks, considering i've only been playing for a month since FFR hiatus. It's much easier. I still play index for stream files.

      I played index before I switched to spread and I never thought I would change.

      Then the second official FFR tourny rolled around and I just couldn't AAA the first round song no matter how hard I tried!

      So I tried out spread and immediately got the AAA, my first AAA ever on this site.

      Anyway I decided to try and keep playing that way because my accuracy was way better. It took maybe two weeks to be able to AAA an 8 after that. Then it just gradually got better.

      I can't tell you how long it will take you to get used to it but it won't be that long and I assure you it is well worth it.

        I had a weird finger placement too at the start of my FFR days. Switching to spread took a couple weeks, maybe even months. Just keep practicing.

                I played with this weird key setup before I made the decision to switch to spread. I used the arrow keys, but I used to two hands, two fingers.

                up: left middle finger
                down: right index finger
                left: right index finger
                right: right middle finger

                I also played on a speed of around 1.25 or something ridiculously slow. I switched to spread, with a key setup of ASL; and upped my speed gradually (currently at 1.9) and got comfortable with it after about two and a half weeks. Haven't turned back since.

                    Re: How long did it take you to learn spread?

                    I just started yesterday; it was frustrating at first, but now I'm starting to get the 16th streams down. I'm hoping I'll be as good as my indexing in 2 weeks, maybe better.
                    It sure is a lot easier to play spread than index though. Be glad you decided to make the switch.

                      Yeaa Im already getting sort of used to it

                      Im just not sure of the real length it takes to learn it, at least on my low level of skill. Ive gotten
                      - 2 Months
                      - 2 Weeks
                      - 2 Days
                      xD
                      I guess it depends on the person I just thought that it's an interesting concept.

                        Took me about a month to fully get used to it XD *Slow* Hang in there, though It's worth it.

                            Took me a long time. Probably about a month to become decent. But then when I was used to it I improved like crazy.

                              About 2 songs. I had played index for at least 4 years prior to trying spread. There was nothing confusing about it at all so it was really easy to pick up.
