    Lets do a small experiment

    I generally play spread with [Q W num2 num3]. For some odd reason, I decided to try out a placement where my hands were adjacent. Directly after the switch, I noticed I was able to play... better. I was able to handle staircases and closely related patterns better. I was able to do rapid-succession double notes with more ease. I switched back and I instantly noticed the difference.

    I'm thinking there may be some odd thing with the brain and how close together your hands are when performing linked actions (double notes, one with each hand). This is where you all come in. If you play spread with adjacent hands, try something similar to my [Q W num2 num3] setup. If you play spread with hands far apart, try placing them close together, like [D F H J] or [D F J K].

    Play an assortment of songs and see if it affects you at all. It may have a reduced effect on very very good players because their errors are fewer and less apparent.

    Of course, also, you generate body heat with your hands so that they would work faster.



    Nah I'm just bsing you, but you can handle handstreams much easier if it's adjacent IMO.
