Anybody who plays one-handed

Just wondering which fingers you all use to hit each button so I can try out different play styles and see what works best for me.

1-Thumb
2-Index
3-Index
4-Middle
5-Ring
6-Ring
7-Pinky

This isn't totally strict or anything. Shift your fingers around as needed. 2+3 chords and 5+6 chords are some of the most common awkward patterns you'll have to find a way to hit. In the first case I bring my thumb over to 3 and hit 2 with my index, in the second case I either bring my thumb over to 5 and hit 6 with my ring, or if it's in the middle of a lot of notes I slide my ring finger over the two keys.

The fingers I use for each key are usually
1-thumb, rarely index
2-index
3-thumb, index, maybe middle
4-middle
5-middle, ring
6-ring
7-pinky

Note that I am right handed, so that's what it's for.
Also, I'm only up to 8s one-handed since I am mainly a two-handed player that started one-handed.

it depends on the song

Play like I do, right hand side...

Turntable - Left hand (Ring, Pinky)
1 - Left hand (Middle)
2 - Right hand (Index)
3 - Right hand (Index, Middle)
4 - Right hand (Middle)
5 - Right hand (Middle, Ring)
6 - Right hand (Ring)
7 - Right hand (Ring, Pinky)

The purpose of having one finger from your left hand over is for a few reasons...

1 - If you ever decide to start playing two-handed, you're already used to using two hands
2 - Using your right thumb can be tedious, but for others it's simple. With this method, you may use the above fingering, but if you want to add your thumb, then that gives your right hand even more coverage of the controller
3- The middle finger from the left is my most accurate finger, that's why it's used. If your index or even thumb is more accurate, be my guest

Something I'm having problems with is doing fast scales that run through all of the keys, and some that skip one or two. Any tips? I can kind of hit them (and that's a stretch) but i just can't find an accurate way to hit them. If anybody could help me out, I'd greatly appreciate it.

If you have 10th style, you can try playing Doll (hyper or another charts). The very last measure features an ascending and descending scale (1->2->3->4->5->6->7->6->5->4->3->->2->1).

If you can nail that part (as in get no misses on that part), then you are good to go.

Also in 10th style, try Daisuke [H] (if you're at 8s one-handed), as that song has a 1-2-3-4-5 scale several times throughout the song.
Jam [A] also has a scale at the end that slows down in the middle of it.

Thanks guys, practicing those parts has helped me alot. Something that I still cant seem to get at all is if there is an alternating roll on 5 and 6. the way I would do a normal scale (1 being thumb and 5 being pinky) is 1,2,1,3,4,3,5, but I just cant get those rolls at all. I've tried some different positions to see if anything works better, but maybe i just need to train my hand more?

In my case though, I stated that the moment I got 10th style for my PS2, I immediately got into practicing that ending scale of Doll (hyper and another). My only advice is to really use practice mode to slow it down to "1" then once you nail it, increase it one speed at a time till you reach regular speed or "5".

That's how I got to do that and it does works. It probably took me a whole day to do it

how do i pull sonic boom?

whitebread · 07-12-2009, 03:06 AM

no, no, I'm fine with the scales now, the problem I'm having is with drum rolls with 5 and 6

I don't recall any songs that have that kind of pattern, so what are some examples?

Another one handed thread?
