finger placement

How do you guys put your hands on the keys. I use only one hand... is this bad?

bvbaseball1 · 06-19-2004, 11:25 PM

Most dont think its bad but i find it can restrict your abilities.. I do pointer on left, middle on top and bottom, and ring on right. But for some parts of some songs i turn my hand to the side or bring in an index from the left hand.

I use feedback in the mic.

Hmm, i guess it's ok, but it does seem resctricting sometimes.

bvbaseball1 · 06-20-2004, 12:28 AM

on a songs like CIA rave and uber rave its hard with one hand... ive made it through uber rave a few times but i always die out just at the end of CIA

My pinkie is just about useless, but i find placing index on left, middle on up, and ring on right at a 45 degree angle works nicely. palm should be somewhere between arrows and numpad ( unless you use it

)

I use the same as baseball

wildman · 06-20-2004, 04:28 AM

My left and right pointer fingers....that's all I need!

Privateer · 06-20-2004, 07:35 AM

I ate my keyboard, so I'm forced to use the mouse.

I play with indexes

I used to play with one hand too...playing with indexes let's you play some harder stuff....Try playing runny morning with one hand, then two. you'll see a difference.

I use one hand and indexes.

Eggman's songs are fun with indexes.

Belgarion · 06-21-2004, 09:33 PM

I play with both hands:

Left Middle on Left
Left index on Down
Right index on Up
Right thumb on right

(Yes, odd playing style.)

Left Arrow: Left Index Finger
Up Arrow: Right Middle Finger
Down Arrow: Right Index Finger
Right Arrow: Right Ring Finger

I find this style very comfortable except when there are doubles between the up and right arrows. My ring finger is teh suck at jackhammers.

**Draigun** · 06-22-2004, 10:05 PM

I mainly use my two index fingers for everything...and then sometimes my two middle fingers everyonce in a while for some turns..so yeah.. :P

Tantric · 06-22-2004, 10:16 PM

Left arrow=pointer finger
Right arrow=finger next to pinky
down arrow=middle finger
up arrow=middle finger

Brainmaster07 · 06-23-2004, 12:45 AM

Maybe I'm just wierd, but here's an example of how I may play a decently hard level.

Starting off:
left-middle: left
left-index: down
right-middle: up
right-ring: right

then... OMG, have to scratch my nose.

Switch to:
right-index: left
right-middle: up/down
right-right: right

Ah, well with that done, I'll either go back to one, or if it's a repedative pattern, I'll probably switch over to:
left-index: left/down/up
right-index: right/down/up

Then if the pattern gets a bit to rough for me (I'm not the best with 2 fingers), I'll move to:
left-middle: left
left-index: up/down
right-index: right/up/down

Then it's just a hop a skip and a jump back to my original position:
left-middle: left
left-index: down
right-middle: up
right-ring: right

And I can still get within the top 20 on most any FFR songs.

If you wanna play one-handed your gonna have to practice ALOT. But I play the basic four finger setup...but I did play one-handed.
