I've started to think if I should change to spread.

Should I?

If you are interested in progressing, yes.

Except for a select few people who are amazing one handers, switching to spread will help you in the long run.

Plus, there will be lots of HARD songs comming out soon with hands(3 or 4 arrows at a time) so spread will be easier to handle those certain patterns.

If you don't like playing one handed, there's no reason not to switch. It does help quite a bit, but I think you should try it some first as if you were going to switch, then decide if you even like it. It does take a lot of effort to be good with one hand, but not impossible.
PS Adamaja, from my experience with SM, patterns with hands and quads aren't too difficult to handle one handed. Its almost as simple to do one handed as spread, even within streams.

Alright, now that i think of it, at least hitting 3 notes at a time should be fairly easy playing one handed. I was just thinking for 13/12 level songs with many hands, it would most likely be easier to play spread.

Obligatory post saying that spread will advance your skill farther than any other playing style, and yes you should switch to it.

If you want, just know that you can become awesome at either style it's just that one may take more time.

lol dont act like they are even or whatever

Dude even One-Handers agree that Spread is easier to get better scores on. With one hand you might learn to FC if your good but with Spread you'll learn to get perfects. lol

Ok jokes aside, I find it easier and more advance at the same time.

Spread did wonders to my FFR abilities. Now it's just a matter of practice. Although the AS KL bit someone mentioned before I find hard to do lol. I always prefer one to two spaces between both sides...but again thats a personal preference. It can very well depend on what fingers you use...for spacing terms i mean.

Re: Should I switch to spread?

I used to play one handed using three fingers. Index on left arrow, middle on up/down, and ring on right. I decided to switch to spread after a while to see what the hype was about, and I was amazed. My skills improved drastically, and I'm getting better every day. The setup I use is "dfjk" because I like the little raised bumps on the F and J, haha.

I find spread helps a lot with streams, trills and most jumps. Give it a shot, you probably won't regret it.

spread is really to improve your timing and your PA also its hard to hit 16th streams like in {Blaze} without four fingers

DarkManticoreX2 used to be one of the best ... then he switched to spread and got better as soon as he adjusted to using four fingers.

So yes, switch to spread.

I tried spread before, and my left hand does not like 424242424 continuously, and jacks are somewhat really easy now
