That makes a lot of sense, actually, even though I never considered it as leading with either hand. The only thing I ever have to consider myself is which hand I'm ending with/if it's an even amount of notes or an odd amount of notes. I still derp hard on 2-note patterns and 4-note patterns because of that, but I'm slowly improving it.Kuro wrote:
I can play dkkd but when you start tagging on kkkd that means I have to lead with dons/kats with my left hand and I can't hammer dons/kats with my left hand for too long because I lose speed. I naturally lead with my right hand so dkkkdkkkdkkkd/kdddkdddkdddk, kkdkkkdkkkd/ddkdddkdddk, etc. are no problem at all as long as a don/kat constantly lands on my right hand in 4/4 time.
Ex. dkkkd/kdddk.
I can play dkkdkkkd but not dkkdkkkdkkkdkkkdkkkd and kddkdddkdddkdddk because I fall behind the rhythm because my left hand was never meant to lead and can't keep up.
Yes, there is a major speed difference between my left and right hand.
Yes, my left hand is retarded.
Why?
Because my right hand is a greedy bitch and never lets my left hand play first.
I've been having some minor problems with the left hand thing but so far it's mostly just struck me to be that I wasn't properly registering the distinct difference of leading with my left hand, since most of the time leads are very right-hand oriented. I don't think I'll have an issue with speed because I'm actually left handed though, and sometimes I go faster than I should because of my left hand lol, but we'll see as I start doing long patterns more often and not just semi-BSing them and hoping for the best.
