Re: FFR Hand Postitions Guide

Don't remember what it's called, but...

left- right hand, index finger
up- right hand, middle finger
right- right hand, ring finger
down- left hand, index finger

I know quite a few people that use this.

Re: FFR Hand Postitions Guide

I have been playing one hand 3 fingers for 2.5 years now, and ive got to say that you can actually keep getting better. I can fc challenging songs now... only problem im having is stairs of 3 keys and jacks on songs such as FOTBB. Help?

Re: FFR Hand Postitions Guide

When I do one hand (right handed) I use the 4 fingers in a different position than what Billydude said. I posted this position several times in other threads. Consider:

left arrow = thumb
down arrow = index
up arrow = middle
right arrow = ring

Again, this is certainly not as comfortable as two hands (feels cramped), but I can't see myself using the thumb for the down arrow.

Re: FFR Hand Postitions Guide

I play index and I think the transitions are smoother between arrows, but I don't have the finger speed to hit faster songs...is that natural for index? Or should I try some one handed play? I've played over a year and have always been an index player.

Yeah, that's okay. You should stick with index, index is actually a good way to play. Just practice some songs like Stalled Out and Sushi Bars and you'll get better at it.

Thanks, I'll try those...so far speed wise, I can FC standards and on the verge of grabbing them with trickies, but I play a lot of the very difficult-very challenging, just finishing. It seems that with songs such as Rose, my fingers just don't want to respond to the larger chains, its quite frustrating as I it seems my progression has been dampening.

Re: FFR Hand Postitions Guide

3 fingered two hand: This is the hand position that mostly average/pretty good players use.

Fingering:
Dominant hand index finger goes on: alternates on up and down arrow key v ^
Dominant hand middle finger goes on: right arrow key >
Off hand index finger goes on: left arrow key <

Advantages:
1. It is less draining than one handed.
2. Quick jumps and 16ths are easier.

Disadvantages:
1. It is harder to do up-down and left-up jumps.
2. Players have to temporarily switch to index to do rolls/staircases.

EDIT: Realized I forgot to change advantages.

Cool, I'll copy and paste that.

Re: FFR Hand Postitions Guide

I think that's what I mean...lol, how would I make the arrows letters on the keyboard?

Re: FFR Hand Postitions Guide

There's a link at the bottom of the first post on this thread. If you have any more questions ask it on that thread not this.

Re: FFR Hand Postitions Guide

Um... I play 4 finger on arrow keys. Not spread. It makes it easy to switch to index for trills that would be on the same hand for spread.

Re: FFR Hand Postitions Guide

How are you suppose to do spread if you have a laptop
