Hi there! I'm a newbie here, and to glowstringing, and currently I am trying to master the 2 beat weave... strange thing is, I seem to have gotten the more advanced (correct?) 3 beat weave down first, and now I'm kinda having trouble specifically with leading with my left hand during the 2 beat weave. Does it just take more practice to get used to it? Because I think one of the main problems I am having at the moment is that it feels so strange to be leading with my left, seeing as how I am naturally right handed....

Oh what I would give to be ambidextrous...

Any help is appreciated! Thanks!

Well, I will admit that I don't use the 2 beat weave nearly as much as the 3, but knowing how to do it is absolutely ESSENTIAL. It will help greatly with flow and learning many more advanced moves (believe it or not). I'm right handed and I find it easier to lead with my L hand for the 2 beat forward. However there is another version in the same direction that leads with the R. Maybe this will be easier for you. In the forward 3 beat weave, when you cross over to the L side leading with your R hand, just do a figure 8 on its side kinda motion and always keep the R hand on top. Likewise, when leading with the L for the 2 beat weave, the L hand always stays on top. Definitely take the time to learn both versions of the forward 2 beat weave (leading with either hand) then changing that into the three (which you already know). It might almost be harder to move backwards after knowing the 3 beat, but you still should learn this. Likewise, when you start reverse weaves, learn both 2 beats and then the 3 (or whatever order works best, but learn all of them). Check out my 'weaves 101' tutorial as it describes how to do all of this. Maybe try learning the 2 beats in regular time like you're jumping rope (the hand motions are the same as the cross-armed move whatever it's called).

Thanks for the help, I think I'm getting the hang of it. Leading with the left is still a little sloppy, but it's getting better.

Oh, and sorry about that wrong forum. My mistake!
