Finger style

[stev019]

Where can I get a MOD for asl; instead of left down up right for my keys?

Read the sticky in the general forum, stev019.

Anyways, screencut? yes/no?

Since this is a thread about hand position, does anyone think that it is weird if I use two hands but only three fingers? I heard people say that they use both index and both middle fingers, but I only use my right index, right middle, and left index finger. Does anyone else do this? And as for the screencutting, I am not sure if you should or shouldn't screencut while trying to learn a new style.

3 fingered like that is probably tied for the 2nd most successful style.

You can either screencut or use speed mods, but I don't recommend both. And you should definitely drop the style you're using right now, as it is extremely inefficient.

I dropped index, because I can't do things like CIA Rave, I can see how spread would make that really easy. I havin't really ever screencut, but speedmods help me out

Can someone post all the types of finger style, maybe with a short explication for each? Because I don't know all the styles there are..>_>

Aww....I thought that my style was unique. I read that people play three fingered but I always figured that they meant one hand with their index, middle, and ring finger. I didn't think that they meant they use two hands. I Guess that I'm not unique after all.

im a one hander, not doin very well, but to stubborn and lazy to change styles


im soooooo close to being able to FC very difficult or challenging songs like this, and ive been playing for 0.22 years, so hopefully after a year or so ill be able to get better with my one hand

[(-_-)alan jr(-_-)]

I use 1 hand,(index left),(Middle up/down),Ring Right)Hope it all werks fer ya.

Getting good with spread

[eggiehead]

Oh my god, I've been playing FFR for a pretty long time--I started in middle school (I remember because I'd play Trip to the Moon in the morning for fun LOL), and I never knew there were different finger styles! What is this nonsense?! I just use my right hand--index, middle, and ring finger. I suck. LOL. This is also my first time venturing into the forums.

2 hand
right middle on the up button
left middle on the left button
left index on the down button....
and i am right handed XP


i also toy around with spread

[BzT]

it dont matter

[LGCManetheran]

I used to play index, until I got just beyond the difficulty of songs like Alpha Helix, where I found that my fingers couldnt move fast enough, so I switched to spread.

The advantage of spread is you can sort of seperate the arrows on the left and right and do them semi-independantly of each other.

[knuckles2224]

i now play spread aint used to the other styles x)

[BoRiS X RaD]

alright..heres sum i know of

index: both hands using your index fingers only, both fingers must hit every key..not just stay on there sides..

spread(4 fingered)...u can either use the arrows( left hand index,down..middle left)(right hand index,up..middle right)...or use ur ring fingers and middles instead of index..

spread(3 fingered) smartdude..uses right hand middle,6 ..index 8 and 2 and left hand keypad

spread with keymapping....u can use same example as spread(4 fingered) but with keys like...( A,S left hand , K,L right hand...ect..)

1 handed.. (if ur right handed) index for left, middle for up and down, ring finger for right.
1 handed..(if ur left handed) same thing but switch ring finger and index around.

2 finger...ur index and middle on one hand to cover keys

thats prettyy much all i can think off...

i play index( but i use my middle fingers).adn a bit of spread using,,left hand index = down, left hand middle= left...right hand index = 8, right hand middle = 6
