How does anyone do jumpsteps?

[Nullifidian]

Just try to read it as a normal stream and stay calm. Notice where the notes are going and where the gaps are. You could try to read the jumpstream as 2 patterns intertwining. I've highlighted how you could for example read a pattern as 2 intertwining streams:


Alternatively, I sometimes read jumpstreams as 2 sides instead of all 4 receptors at once:


You'll feel more comfortable the more you play jumpstreams and learn how to read them (by separating streams or reading gaps, whichever is more comfortable for a certain pattern) and you'll eventually combine the reading methods with more complicated patterns. Key is to stay calm at all times though because nervousness will not get you anywhere. If you feel your heart racing just take a breath (even if you miss something, because missing something doesn't really matter that much when you're still learning).


edit: also, a song I used to practice a lot on was Seven. AAA'd that song (at the time a challenging) before I AAA'd any Very Difficult song lol.
