anyone else feel guilty playing four finger
 

look i know that lots of people play four finger, but to me it just feels like i have an unfair advantage (besides, playing index is funner, well for me anyway). anyway else feel the same way?

Re: anyone else feel guilty playing four finger
 

Nope.

Re: anyone else feel guilty playing four finger
 

Not in the slightest.

In fact, I feel more of the opposite--that it's foolish to bother with index in FFR.

Re: anyone else feel guilty playing four finger
 

Same here. I don't imagine some of the songs on here are even possible without four fingers!

u got to use more than two if u want to do the guru songs

Re: anyone else feel guilty playing four finger
 

No. Four-finger/spread does not make me feel guilty at all. It's the player's choice about what style he or she plays with, so there really shouldn't be any debate over advantages and disadvantages.

Re: anyone else feel guilty playing four finger
 

Debate over advantages/disadvatages is fine IMO, it's debate about which is a more "fair" style or saying that one style is "cheating" that I personally think is idiotic.

i have a feeling this will sound dumb but what is playing four finger

Re: anyone else feel guilty playing four finger
 

One finger on each key.

Re: anyone else feel guilty playing four finger
 

L= finger on left hand
R=finger on right hand

L
L R R

at least that's how I play four-finger.

Re: anyone else feel guilty playing four finger
 

I play:

R
L L R

But i generally don't stay in the same place because of awkward patterns...:p

Re: anyone else feel guilty playing four finger
 

I play with an insane disadvantege, playing with your thumbs is hard :(

Re: anyone else feel guilty playing four finger
 

ohhhhhhh ok wow i dont think im that cordinated ...oh well...

Re: anyone else feel guilty playing four finger
 

It doesn't really matter how you play, if your good with a playing style stick with it and if you feel you've exceeded at it then maybe you can switch to a more advanced style.

Re: anyone else feel guilty playing four finger
 

Well, my keyboard absolutely sucks, so I cant play with it.

Re: anyone else feel guilty playing four finger
 

I completed Pants with one hand... same as some other Guru songs.

Re: anyone else feel guilty playing four finger
 

Four fingered. Actually, if you think about it, four-fingered play is more stamina draining and cramp inducing then if a person used one finger from both hands.

Re: anyone else feel guilty playing four finger
 

Its not a unfair advantage. most everyone has the capability to play with four fingers, if you chose to play with two then thats your problem.

Re: anyone else feel guilty playing four finger
 

Yeah and no trills on index either. Still, Spread is the best style. And i really think that because it seperates your hands so they're not smushed together, and lets you tap the keys harder, i think. I've been four fingered also so i'm not really biased.

EDIT: Not to mention Shash and Baha are perfect examples why spread is best

Re: anyone else feel guilty playing four finger
 

i play one hand (i guess that's called index, right?) I've been trying to learn four finger, but i always end up struggling and resorting back to index. I've gotten pretty good at it though, so no complaints here.
