[QUOTE="Monty, post: 558480, member: 5569"] I am 31 now and started scratching around 11 years old,i don't really have a passion for scratching anymore as i like to produce music now but it does come in handy.I brought myslef up on Electro Hip Hop through the Eighties which i think there's the problem to be a great scratcher you need to have Hip Hop in your blood you have to feel the music what your scratching to.Ok instead of scratching to dance music buy yourself a good scratch vinyl with good samples and some heavy breakbeats here how i learnt.In my teens :D i would listen to some Electro Hip Hop and copy the scratch now i could not do this straight away it would kill my arms but you have to break the pain barier so i would do it everyday pick a certain scratch if it is was a 2 second scratch i would do it for ages until i got it right,the best thing about it is have a break and do it later then you will see it is becoming easier to do,i scratched that hard everyday and conquered scratches that i developed a mussel in my right arm around my hands strings in my wrist.Another thing which is important is if your doing scratching for a while you have to get in that zone with the music your scratching to you have to bring the music out your scratching to and make people turn there heads and say wow thats cool scratching but making it sound part of the tune your scratching to as if it is part of that tune.When you do a certain scratch and you can't do it it is because you not trying hard enough and when you see top scratchers scratching they make it look easy but it was'nt to begin with they all had to learn from some where so pick a certain scratch and do it everyday,try to be spot on and clean with your scratching the probelm with some people learning scratching is that there scratching is lazy and you can tell there not trying hard enough which that is what you have to do you have to try really hard harder than what you think.Set a goal and make that goal just try hard at it as hard as you can go and like i said have a break or even leave it untill the next day and you will see you've started to developed this certain scratch,i wish you good luck mate but you do have to be in a zone maybe a little soul as well peace :) If your scratching sounds lazy it is because it is lazy if it is sounding good it is because your scratching good i think some people think why does my scratching not sound good as his or her's it is because your not trying hard enough and maybe you really don't want to scratch it's how bad you want to learn really but yes you do have to have to feel music beyond regular music lovers without sounding like a twat when scratching you are playing an instrument at the end of the day not just playing records,please note that i am talking on a high level of scratchig here but set your goals high mate...Good Luck...
