Strumming really fast

[Javelin]

i LOVE playing those DragonForce songs on FoF, but i just cant seem to strum fast enough with a keyboard O_O any tips? also i cant hit some triple chords O_O weird.

[random0guy]

did you try using BOTH strum buttons? that can help sometimes

Um, I use a keyboard. Although it's a thinner keyboard, on my laptop, so it's easier to do this. I also sit the keyboard down, not hold it like a guitar. I use M and K for struming. I hold my index finger/middle finger out, and slide it back and forth from the M key to the K key really fast. It does work pretty well as long as you can keep the right speed. It might sound odd, but it works. Like I said, I have a thinner keyboard, so it's easier to slide your fingers on. Hope it helps :/

When I used my index and middle finger to strum the Enter and Shift keys (my strum buttons), I got every single note on the speedpicking parts in The Devil Went Down to Georgia on Amazing...you just need the right timing

[txf]

Well I can do it just fine, as long as it doesn't do that for 90% of the song, like alot of the Dragonforce songs. When it comes to stuff like that(DF) My fingers start getting tired, so I gotta do like I said above.

I use enter and shift for strumming, it's lot easier than strumming with just enter.

I used ";" and " ' " for strumming back when i used the keyboard and i just hit both buttons really fast repeatedly. it worked pretty well.

I think I just might try that...

Using Del and End above the arrow keys always worked for me. You might need big(ish) hands for it though...

Also, your 3 note chord problem, please read the FAQ. Its answered in there.

I use the up and down arrow keys for strumming

If you can't strum fast enough alt stumming use both keys at once.

Yea, What I do is what vedi said, and I don't know, but this might help some people.

My keyboard lets me hold F5-F9 all at the same time and I can pick and alt pick using Numpad 7 and 8.

for extreme fast strumming consider "vibrating" the keyboard itself while holding your strum key, takes a while to master but unbeatably fast ;]

I use the KP_+ and KP_enter keys so I can just mash down on them when speedpicking since they're so huge.
