How do the good FFR'ers put there hands on the keyboard?
 

I want to become a better FFR player and I know that the first step in becoming better is to use 2 hands. I know that you use your right hand on the keypad and your left on the arrow keys. But how exactly do you put it on? I watched Shash play some songs on Youtube and he was incredible but I'm not exactly sure how he put his hands on. Oh and please only tell me if you DO use 2 hands.

rest like the edge of ur hands, like were ur wrists are on teh table or w.e (this is wut i do) and left index on down arrow key, left middle finger on left arrow key, right index finger on "8" on keypad for up, right middle finger on "6" on keypad for right, and just play like that, exactly like u would in fourfingered play, but its spread out so easier, i rest my hands and my fingers do all the work and my fingers are ok at speed, but if a jack is too fast for my fingers i lift and smack it up/down fast

I thought it was obvious. You gotta use your penis.

Helps quite a bit on the jacks in revo.

Baha shut up about those jacks, I can never get them >=(

But I agree with the penis business. Alternatively, get a friend and get 'em both going. How else do you think I AAA'd Crowdpleaser's trill? =D

i started this not that long ago but im doing masters only songs and challenging and hings like that and all i do is:

put my left middle finger on the left button
put my left index finger on the down button
put my right middle finger on the right button
put my right index finger on the up button

this works for me and i hope it does to u 2

Re: How do the good FFR'ers put there hands on the keyboard?
 

if u want a challange use one hand.

Re: How do the good FFR'ers put there hands on the keyboard?
 

Ive only ever used one hand, never thought to use two

Re: How do the good FFR'ers put there hands on the keyboard?
 

I use one......but in those songs like......flight of the bumble bee I break out the spread. It gives the bread a different taste.

Re: How do the good FFR'ers put there hands on the keyboard?
 

I don't think it's humanly possible to even FC some of the songs on FFR with one hand. In fact I'm sure of it.

Which is a shame because I've used one hand for the past 9000 games. :( To hell with learning a new style of play after all that, my best scores are my best, I don't care about average or whatever.

But yeah...... two hands is the way to go.

Re: How do the good FFR'ers put there hands on the keyboard?
 

This is just preference, but my fingers most commonly in use are:

left arrow: third finger on my left hand
down arrow: index finger on my left hand
up arrow: third finger on my right hand
right arrow: ring finger on my right hand

Don't forget to use any other fingers to your best comfort. For one hand, I use a totally different setting.

Re: How do the good FFR'ers put there hands on the keyboard?
 

I'm a big one hand, four finger. Then again, I have a nice keyboard that allows me such things. It's nice. I use all fingers but my pinky.

Left: index
Up: Middle
Right: Ring
Down: Thumb

I use A S K L respectively.

Re: How do the good FFR'ers put there hands on the keyboard?
 

My setup is two fingers on the arrow keys and two on the numpad. I'm not very fast though. Index was a lot faster for whatever reason.

D F J K kthx

Re: How do the good FFR'ers put there hands on the keyboard?
 

LMAO I am finally using 2 hands for the really hard songs. I was never able to beat Exciting Hiper Highspeed Star with one hand but I finally beat it with 2. Then I tried Alpha Helix and died. LMAO. =)

Re: How do the good FFR'ers put there hands on the keyboard?
 

Up: left middle
Left: left index
Right: right middle
Down: right index

Its like playing spread but its 4 finger. Helps you do patterns that give most spreaders problems, but also has its own patterns that spreaders can do more easily than you.

Re: How do the good FFR'ers put there hands on the keyboard?
 

one-handed playing doesn't necessarily make you a bad player, but it probably has a slower learning curve; i've been playing for 2 years, and i'm working on making my way past Challenging

Re: How do the good FFR'ers put there hands on the keyboard?
 

Here's an unique way. I never heard anyone say it, but I guess I'm first:
edit: nvm
Up: Right Middle
Down: Left Index
Left: Left Middle
Right: Right Ring


RING FTW.

Oh btw
I've been using one hand for the first 4500 songs so
HA!
I can get a lot of points =D

Re: How do the good FFR'ers put there hands on the keyboard?
 

I use arrow keys and letters.

J (Up) : Left Middle
M (Left): Left Index
Down Arrow (Down...obviously): Right Index
Right Arrow (Right...): Right Middle

I find it comfortable.

Re: How do the good FFR'ers put there hands on the keyboard?
 

i use

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