Help with fingerings

[fezz349]

yeah well, ive been playing ffr for a couple of months n got a few points but I can only play with my one right hand. I've tried many positions with my two hands to play with the arrow keys but none of them even feel remotely right, what are the most ways people have used two hands? Farthest I was able to get up to was dendrite, then it just got too much for one hand...

Play spread, either use [left] [down] [numpad8] [numpad6] or use this to set up with whatever keys you want.

Yeah, if you want to learn spread, then remap your keys. I have the absolute worst set up for arrow keys I've ever seen, and as soon as I remapped my keys (which are Q W O P now) last week, my skill exploded.

I recommend it.

Yeah, when I started <,v,8,6 my scores really improved.

But do you use your pinky finger?

But do you use your penis?

Sometimes.

Haha, I should say at least one thing that relates to the main topic.

Pretty much try out what dore mentioned. That keymapper works very well, and V > 8 6 is a great start for spread. I currently use S D 8 6, though.

Oh my God.


Anyway, there are different styles in playing FFR, depending on what you are comfortable with. Yes there are One handed players on this site, yet being a very good one hander will be in need of a lot of practice. You may stick with the common option of Spread, as mentioned in some above posts.

I personally use a custom style, which consists of:
Left = Left hand Middle.
Down = Right hand Index.
Up = Right hand Middle.
Right = Right hand Ring.

This way, during songs, I am able to 'switch styles' temporarily, in songs which constists of patterns not very suitable for this style. I can usually manage to add a left hand index for the 'down' arrow key in left-down trills, and therefore playing 'Spread'.
