mmyes id love to see you ss an od10 alt map and tell me everyone can alt properly
Just pick whatever you're most comfortable with, OP. The more natural method will be the best for you.

How is singletapping easier to learn though? When you alternate you know the next note will always be your other finger. When you singletap you gotta think about whether you do need to use your other finger or not. Add onto that the fact that alternating streams when you are a singletapping dude is a completely different set of finger movements being used.Ichi wrote:
It´s faster to improve with singletapping, it is really difficult to alternate correctly, and by that i mean that you FULLY alternate, and not just when a bunch of notes come together, and some other times you single. Singletapping is way more consistent and simpler to learn, simplicity is good, specially for your brain to get used to. I personally alternated when i first started, but i realised i was doing singletapping sometimes, so it wasn´t really a good style, i was caught in the middle of both. I´d say go singletap.
How about you switch to single-tapping and give it a serious try to get good at it before saying stuff that makes no sense.EcksDee wrote:

Its like such a roundabout way of playing the game I'm legitimately baffled whenever I see people singletap.
on the contrary it takes even less thought to singletap and patterns become easier because it's easier to learn to tap on tempo with one finger than two because you can go at a fairly consisent speed but if you full alternate you have to constantly change your rate of tapping while also holding tempo so it becomes harder to read patterns and be sure of when to tapEcksDee wrote:

None of that is what I'd call difficult though. Like for me, I don't ever think about patterns of notes. I just subconsciously thing "Ok, 3+1+5+3" or whatever, and my fingers do all the work.Bassist Vinyl wrote:

i mean ive used both styles altho im not near as good as you this is my way of seeing it.

You don't think about when you have to use both fingers and when you only gotta use one, do you?
It's not.EcksDee wrote:
I assume it's the same for you.
I started alternating at like 1000 to 2000 plays I believe. After getting used to it, I immediately saw a rise (relatively speaking) in skill and accuracy. I distinctly remember switching between singletapping and alternating on some demetori song on insane. And it just felt more natural.NarrillNezzurh wrote:

Single tapping is intuitive because it ties finger movements to musical rhythm. For any given subdivision of the measure you'll prefer your dominant finger, only using your other finger when that subdivision becomes insufficient to fully describe the rhythm to be tapped. This allows rhythmic complexity to be built on top of a very simple, repetitive foundation. Alternating is non-intuitive because it actively disregards musical rhythm in favor of efficiency. You no longer have a simple, repetitive, foundation to start with, and as a result it's very difficult for a player not experienced with alternation to keep any semblance of rhythm.
Maybe you find alternation easier, but the average player does not, and as an experienced musician I can tell you that the concept single tapping is built on is far more prevalent in the music world than true alternation.
