Dj, I don't know how you can remember patterns but I do know a solution to getting your hands to move faster and more effective.
First in order to play one handed effectively you need a flat keyboard.. Laptop keyboards are better =P
Anyways. when you have this use a technique called "slide"
Instead of picking up your fingers on every key keep them on the key and when a ^V trill or jump comes just slide your hand back and forth for the trill and it should work effectively. The jump is simple all you have to do is use the ball of your middle finger and hit both keys.

Another secret that I used to use was lotion. I used lotion on my hands before I played so my hand wouldn't get stuck to the keys and such. In all honesty, one handed play is one of the funnest IMO because it's challenging and stressful xD
But if you want to play for skill and getting better. You should switch to Spread immediately. I wish I had.

I recomend playing songs like Save Me (Dance 1 page 3 bottom song) and Secret Zombie Room (Secret page 1 2nd song) you'll get a good feel on how to handle things like excite bike.

Here's my tip for one handed playing -- play with two hands, lmao.

On a more serious note, don't worry about Excite Bike. Keep practicing a wide variety of files so you improve in all aspects of the game. Also, you're going to have to up your speed mod. Lastly, FFR isn't about memorizing patterns, it's more about muscle memory. Give it time, you will improve.

If you wish to stay one handed even though Spread is the better option. Just ask me and I'll give you tips on what songs to use to get your PA/Combo better.

Re: i need tips for one handed FFR. =/

There's nothing wrong with playing one handed.

Try playing more songs and don't worry about full combos or AAAs for now. Just practise.

I recommend these songs:

Burnout
Alpha Helix
Secret Zombie Room
Boss Machine ( Sonic2 )

One handin's hated on by most, mainly because in 5 weeks a new spread player could beat someone who's been playing using one hand for half a year. It's hard to stick with, and the most efficient way to play would be using spread, but if you're still undaunted, there are a few tricks.
8 hour gave his general approach, but there are other methods - mainly involving up/down trills or streams relying heavily on those keys. I use both my index and middle finger for the down arrow, depending on the patterns. Left/down trills and slow up/down trills I use my middle finger for the down key - but for faster up/down trills I use my index.
Bynary Fission (another great example of one handed prowess) uses 8 hour's method of relying solely on the middle finger for up and down. However he uses the index finger for up/down doubles. Korny (well-known one hander) would use the number pad, effectively using four fingers one handed - index on 4, middle on 8, ring on 6, and thumb I believe on 0 - someone correct me on this.
Korny's method is probably the fastest, utilizing four fingers, but it's certainly more awkward and will take a while to get used to.
For songs to start off with, I'd suggest basically any song difficulty 1-5 not stepped by synth.

Christ what a text block; I slimmed that down, too.

Switch to spread before it is too late. You are open to more of a difficulty when you get better. One handed players usually hit a limit and sometimes switch over to spread. So make the wise choice now and play spread. Unless you are playing for fun, then stay one hand since it is interesting. If you are going for skill and such, play spread.

Screw all the other songs.
Play Massive.

It will improve you the most if you are one handed in the beginning

Re: i need tips for one handed FFR. =/

today i tried spread (vbnm) and it actually made it easier to do some things but made other things more difficult. also it's still a pain to play this game but you get used to it, both mental and physical pains.lol
