FFR's Top One Handers

[vantilburg]

Ohh? I've almost gotten back to my original skill without a flat key keyboard - Although they're kind of slanted so that sliding from down to up is no problem, I get stuck if I slide from up to down.. Which is why I use my index for down half the time. I actually don't play with my hand straight towards the keys, my arm's slanted at about a 45 degree angle to the right to give my index equal opportunity to hit the down key. I also use two fingers for up/down doubles - I don't think I could get good PA any other way, but do you think that's a bad habit?
And as for the tensing hand/arm, I have that problem too. So I'm trying a new thing - keeping my wrist completely flat on the desk. It definitely hurts less, and it works to warm up until it doesn't hurt anymore to play otherwise - I just have to be sure to play songs I can FC like that, or otherwise I'll get a hell of a lot of mind blocks on the song.
And the only thing I can think of for getting to 2.25 speed is to practice with it all the time.. But I'm not a subscriber so I'm not sure how difficult that is.
