Fingerstyle/setup

[Flys556]

Im just curious what some of you "pros" use for finger styles, personally i like the One hand on left key and right hand for up,down,right. There has to be a playstyle for the 9 difficulty songs and such that works well (im asking how some of you set up your fingers on the keyboard for hard songs)

Re: Fingerstyle/setup

I'm not a pro but I use:

Left hand - left and down arrow keys
Right hand- 8 and 6 on numpad.

There's my little nooby advice. Spread is the most common play style so you may want to switch to it if you havn't already.

Re: Fingerstyle/setup

Use AutoHotKey to make a key changing script.

EDIT: Refer to here.

Yes. Also, if you want to change to different keys, use hot-keys. Hot keys are pretty much useless once 3rd style comes because of the fact that you can change the keys without it. ( Look at the front page I think at the bottom or the page before)

Re: Fingerstyle/setup

I'm copying and pasting this from the thread you've abandoned:

The majority of players here prefer a play style called "spread". You use two hands, and press the directional arrows in a spread out fashion. The directional arrows are often assigned certain keys on the keyboard, according to the player's comfort. For example, some people map out the arrows to askl keys, where a = left arrow, s = down arrow, k = up arrow, l = right arrow.
In my opinion, you should just find your own playing style and get comfortable with it. I myself don't play spread. Adopting several playing styles is even better - that increases your flexibility to play songs more comfortably. You're just limiting yourself if you stick with one playing style.

Re: Fingerstyle/setup

Im using the standard arrows too:
-left middle finger at left
-left index finger at down
-right middle finger at up
-right index finger at right.

Too make it comfortable, i have to turn the keyboard about 45 degrees clockwise from standard position. This setup works great for me! One little detail too: i have removed the DEL button from the numpad, becuase thats a perfect spot to put the left hand thumb into to get a better grip

Ive also tried to play spread a little, but im messing it up because the fingers on the right hand switch arrows

Re: Fingerstyle/setup

I use the arrow keys, left hand middle finger on left, left hand index on down, right hand index on up, right hand middle finger on right

Same method for me

Re: Fingerstyle/setup

<V with left hand, 86 with right hand

alternatively

with one hand - right index on <, right middle on ^V, right ring on >
