Lesson 1 of 29
Home Row: F and J
Rest your left index finger on F and your right index finger on J. Both keys have a raised bump — they are the only keys you can find by touch alone, and every other finger is placed from them. Keep your eyes off the keyboard from the very first drill; looking down is the habit that takes longest to unlearn.
