----------Sticky Please?----------
Well I'm sure at least one of you is wondering how I got so damn good one handed. Well, theres a method I used that takes time but when you get good at it, you can nail the arrows, perfection will be tought after you nail the arrows in the first place.
Version 1.0- I made this guide July 10th, 2004. This was made for and only for the Flashflashrevolution site, and hopefully it will be stickied. I put in the lessons of my method of getting great at FFR. I also added how much credits Purchased songs cost.
Version 1.1- Added FAQ section, only 2, but will be updated when you start asking questions.
Version 1.2 Secret songs section added, thanks to the posts of Dronak and Jimerax. Special Thanks section added.

----------LEARNING HOW----------
----------LESSON 1----------Preparation
First put your hand in the common noob style, right hand pointer on left, right hand middle on down, right hand ring on right, if you havent already.
----------LESSON 2----------Nailing the Left Key
Now, do a song, preferably a hard song, that has a wide range of 4th notes, 8th notes, and 16th notes. Maybe Rondo would be a nice start. Then, load up the song. Now that the song is playing, only hit the left [<-] key and nail all of the arrows. Continue this until you nail all the arrows until a point where you automatically fail because of not hitting the others. When you master this on many songs, go to the next lesson.
----------LESSON 3----------Nailing the Right Key
Now, do the same with the ring finger on the right [->] key, but only do this key. This will be a little harder, because the ring finger is not the most powerful finger, just keep trying, you'll get it.
----------LESSON 4----------Nailing the Down Key
Now, try it with the middle finger on the down [V] key, but only do this key. This will be easy because you've probably mastered the other 3 keys.
----------LESSON 5----------Nailing the Up Key
Now, try the up key, but always keep your middle finger on the down key and move it up to the up key, as if you were playing FFR for real, or assuming that there are like 4 8th notes in a row, then you could keep it there. Just remember to reset your position as if your playing FFR.
----------LESSON 6----------Nailing the Right and Left Key
Here comes the hard part. Try to nail both the Right key and the Left key while playing the same game. Once you have overcome this, you will seem a lot better already.
----------LESSON 7----------Nailing the Right/Left and Down keys.
Do the same thing as lesson 5, only do it with the right and down and left and down. Once you have mastered these two, move on.
----------LESSON 8----------Nailing the Right/Left/Down and Up keys.
This will take some time. First do Left and Up, remember to keep your middle finger on the down key as if you were playing FFR and only bring it up to get the notes in a row or just to get the note that pops up. Now, do Right key and Up key, this should be a little challenging. Next, do the bottom key and the up key. How you do this is move your middle finger up to the up key, then move your pointer to the bottom key if you need to do those that have both Up and Down arrows at the same time. Otherwise, this will take a lot of time and patience, good luck, go for it.
----------LESSON 9----------Doubles
Now, just go ahead and practice those times where there are two of the same arrow, like <- and V, V and ^, etc. This should be pretty easy by now.
----------LESSON 10----------Triples
Now try to nail Triples, even though they dont appear in FFR yet, they could later, and they appear in Stepmania, practice it now to learn it so its easier later. This is pretty easy, all the possible triples are: left down right; left down up; left up right(use V and ^ formation just move your left hand pointer to get the left); and down up right. I'll be surprised if you even run into these, they are rare.
----------LESSON 11----------Quads
Now, we learn Quads. This can only be Left Down Right AND up all at the same time. Simply use V and ^ formation then put your right ring on the right and your left hand pointer on the left. If your keyboard doesnt support 4 keys, meaning it wont work, it will just register it as doing nothing, then I cant do anything for you, except tell you to MASH FAST. If it is a stream, then MASH FAST and KEEP MASHING. This is not cheap as your computer may not support Quads.
