I'm spread too...I never meant it like i can do trills perfectly, i just don't find them THAT hard in THAT song, I can't nail all of them, not by a long shot, I just find the stair cases hard because of my spread setup. I use index/middle on AS, and middle/ring on ;' so maybe thats why, i don't know, all i know is i can't hit staircases when they are fast.

Middle and ring isn't a very common set up, but if it works for you, stick with it. Usually it's index/middle from both hands. I tried middle/ring once but my ring wasn't fast enough. I myself use ZX and 23 on numpad. I like having them spread out so that my arms are in a more relaxed position and my elbows aren't bent inward or downward as opposed to typing.

It's probably partially responsible for his bad MA/PA. It's a really uneven setup the way he has it, so I imagine it wouldn't be easy to be accurate.

It's not like i want to play like that, but since i started out playing four-finger on the num pad, then when i switched to spread it felt more natural because you used ring and middle on the num pad. I've tried to switch to index/middle but my index finger just will not cooperate, also when i play with index/middle it irritates me when my ring finger touches my middle so then it really messes me up. So i think middle/ring is what i'm gonna have to stay with weather i like it or not.

Jacking with your middle fingers is easier IMO...But I recommend just playing index/middle...If your ring finger touches, it touches...Something that I do is with my thumbs, grip the keyboard slightly, and throw up my pinkies lke I was drinking tea...Your ring finger should stay off your middle...But this only works really on zx23

When you start moving fast it goes up and out of the way...

All it really is is we trained our muscles to do certain things while playing...And when we start the pinky just shoots up...Or atleast that's what it is with me.

Yeah. I don't know, I play how I play, if it limits me, then I will just have to be twice as good to break that barrier. I don't like changing setups because then i suck all over, not that i'm any good now, but it makes me worse..and..it's just not worth it lol

Play how you play. If you're uncomfortable with change and are willing to accept the fact that your scores suck due to an awkward set up, so be it. Eventually you'll strive yourself to change your setup. I was the same way when i started spread from index/3 fingered. It seemed impossible for me. But the more I saw my scores improving, and the more I saw that my scores sucked due to my setup, I eventually said "Damnit, im going to do this." And i did. So its really all on you to make a change. Your scores aren't terrible, they're better than alot of people, but they could be a hell of a lot better. That Uber Rave should be an easy AAA, if not an SDP.
