I played linear spread for most of my ffr/sm career, but I feel like I can't get any faster due to my inability to trill very fast. So then, I switched to inverted to see if I could get faster or better. Anybody here play inverted at all? Seems harder on my forearms but I have topped my MA easily on certain songs.

Yeah, or something like "rghi". So far it seems like doing rolls are much easier and that was one of my biggest weaknesses. My stamina also appears to have taken a huge toll as well.

Isn't that just called concave/convex setup?? You aren't actually inverting anything.

Oh is it? Excuse me for getting the terminology mixed up. This is all really new to me, and I wanted to see if there was anyone with a similar playing style; maybe even possibly someone who previously played like this.

i was playing that way like for half of year or somethin (qslp) but i found that linear spread (dfkl currently) is way better for me. It's all comes to practice to trilling fast i guess.

That's what I keep being told but it feels like it's almost as if linear caps my speed on oht. I could oht over 210 once I switched styles, but found it a little harder to jack around 170 16ths.

i forget to add, it all comes down to personal preferences, but from experience i know that practice makes perfect, i live for a long time with different conviction but since i rise up my left oh trilling from less than 200 to even 260 i know that's the only right way, i mean practice
but anyway, try different setup cuz you never know which will be the best for You, but unfortunately 1st you must get used to the new one, and in extreme cases you may discover that the previous was better and then back to older setup can be very uncomfortable bless ya and good luck mate! :') |

I currently use YHKO and I improved a LOT (one hand trilling on left hand slightly better, anchor patterns feel easier to hit, etc,). For me it feels like each individual finger has a bit of space while a setup like CVBN or ASDF feels uncomfortable, especially with trilling.

That's exactly how I felt as well. Trilling is VERY uncomfortable unless I have some sort of space between my fingers. Maybe that's because I have giant hands or maybe because they just aren't very coordinated while playing linear? Lol

That setup is generally referred to as a concave setup (I don't recall it being referred to as inverted spread before). If your middle fingers are a lot longer than your index fingers, you might find concave more comfortable. On the other hand, if your index and middle fingers don't have a significant difference in length, you might prefer linear spread more. That's how I've always viewed it.
There are other factors that can influence which setup you prefer, such as the angle you position your hands in. And, of course, you may prefer a different setup regardless of digit ratio. Keep on experimenting with different setups until you find one that best fits you. |

I see that everyone felt the need to rename the playstyle I made up forever ago. Not that I particularly cared about the name, but at least it had a name that wasn't any better or worse than concave or inverted. It had this name since 2006-2007ish.

So what's inverted? (I'm sleep deprived now. Sorry for dumb questions)

Inverted is nothing. But if you were to invert diagonal spread, like using a,w,i,l for example, then I guess that would be the closest thing.
Also I find that the angle your keyboard is titled on your desk really has something to do with the best key setup, but that's probably obvious. |

Damn that is ridiculously uncomfortable. The idea of using q,s,l,p was to be more natural feeling. If you lay your hands out on your keyboard you'll notice your middle and index fingers will be closer to 2 separate rows.

As for a natural feeling setup, that's what I'm talking about with the keyboard angle. It sounds like your keyboard is pretty square with your desk and where you're sitting. If your keyboard is titled at an angle, then one of your hands will end up playing keys side-by-side to compensate for the angle. What? It's not a hybrid spread at all. Hybrid spread is when one hand uses the index and middle fingers while the other hand uses the middle and ring fingers, it's half pettanko. Last edited by Solomine Gray; 03-10-2014 at 05:24 PM.. |

Inverted setup would literally mean reversing the configuration (so left hand plays right side and right hand plays left side). I had a friend who played with a weird semi-inverted style on the arrow keys; his left hand would do left+down like normal spread but his right middle would be on the up key and his right index would be on the right key. I was always annoyed because he would have to reposition the keyboard at a 45 degree angle to play like that but I liked to tape my keyboard down in a particular spot ![]() Last edited by Dynam0; 03-10-2014 at 10:54 PM.. |
