Default Advice?

I'm just starting out with FFR, using one hand and three fingers. I've been having a lot of problem with jumpstreams and just jumps in general. It seems my middle finger can't move quickly enough between the up and down arrows, because it has to cover both. Can anyone recommend advice for someone using one hand/three fingers doing jumpstreams?

Well using the up and down arrows, in a pattern such as an up down trills, do not only just use your middle finger. Use middle for up and index for down. Especially on high BPMs. Jump Stream is a bit more tricky. Focus on the jumps.

You'll build your speed with practice. It's not impossible. The hard part about one hand is the up/down trills, but for that you move your hand in a position so you can cover both keys with two fingers.

I started out as a one handed and was fairly decent at it, but your looking for advice here and this does not pertain to your question but you should switch to spread. For more information on different hand styles, including spread, referr to this thread.

Try switching to spread, using both hands and a variety of different keys as options - you can stay with the arrow keys, putting middle and index of your left hand on left and down, and middle and index of your right hand on up and right, or you can use the numpad, or use the keys ASKL which is what i use.

I think it's better to start one handed so you get a feel for how the game works. Then switch playing style.

No it doesn't. Move your first finger in to cover down while your index covers up, for example.
