Little help

[Jasonn]

I was wonder if there is anyway to like um "train" my hand better in doing those double arrows things (mind me i dont really know any FFR/SM lingo at all) that come all in a row somewhat fast, (best example i can come up with atm is The games we played part 4 pretty early in the song), i cant for whatever reason follow those fast paced double arrow things at all

Was just wondering if there is any good way to train myself better at those
I also use 1 hand if that matters (i bet it does )

Well, I can't recommend enough switching to spread (playing with two hands). I can't imagine battling those with only one hand. :O

As for that pattern, they are called jumps. That's what stickies are for

The Official FFR Picture Dictionary

As for that particular song..... I just played it 2 days ago or so, actually, so my advice is pretty fresh ^_^ that particular part of the song seems to work in sections...... that is, a pattern of 4 certain jumps will be repeated 4 or so times..... and it's to your advantage to get familiar with the patterns it does. Like, for example, I'm pretty sure one of the patterns is:

^ - - ^
- - ^ ^
^ - ^ -
- ^ ^ -

And then repeat 3 or so more times (if I remember correctly, it even starts at exactly 300). In each of these different sections, I found it helpful to hit the jump I had most trouble with harder than the rest. Helps you keep time, and helps you be confident you are hitting them correctly; in jumpstreams like this it is easy to get confused and hit keys when there are no arrows there.

Also, viewing replays helps sometimes. Here's one if you'd like to study the level

The best advice, though, is to practice

Re: Little help

i have tried using 2 hands on some very eazy songs and for whatever reason i always seem to mess up, i get my fingers like"confused" and i either try to hit all the keys with 1 hand again or i simply dont hit the key at all with my other hand, is it jsut me or have others had problems going from 1 hand to 2 hands?


Edit: thanks for the tips i, thanks for that link to the pics too

Re: Little help

No problem as for switching from one hand to two hands, I wouldn't know, I've played spread all my life ^_^

Re: Little help

practice. more you practice, better you'll get. also, you can also do exercises on a desktop, where you're moving your fingers in sync with what you're trying to practice. in this case, hitting with 2 fingers at once.
