The art of scratching has some fundamental elements, namely the Baby Scratch. I believe this is the first scratch that one must learn. Most all other scratches build on this one.
The second scratch that's covered in my tutorial is called the Drop. This scratch is very important because it requires the DJ to focus on timing as well as coordination between the record hand and the crossfader hand. For many beginning DJs, the concept of having both hand moving simultaneously while doing two different things will be challenging, however, don't fret. With practice and concentrating on technique you will develop the ability to perform this scratch.
Watch the tutorial below for instruction. If you have any questions, please leave comments in the reply area.
Thanks, DJ Yo!
