OK, well I think I have almost got how you do a five beat, but I still can't get it quite right, every time I go for an extra beat, my arms can't twist around each other any more if you get what I mean.

Sorry if that makes no sense, thats just how I am Rolling Eyes

Ok, so take your hands off your keyboard and hold them together, back to back. This is pretty much the hand position you'll need to be able to 5-beat. Remember too, during the crossover, your hands will be the opposite way around to in a 3-bt. In other words, in a 3-beat, your left hand is the first to go over to your right side (and vice versa). In 5-bt, it's the poi in your right hand that needs to be the first over to your right side (and vice versa).

Don't try twisting at the elbows. That just doesn't work. Wink


Erm... Hope that's some help!
