    ► Script:
    In this tutorial you guys will learn the baby scratch. Now this scratch is the most fundamental scratch there is to learn. You really have to get good with this scratch in order to do the more advance ones. This scratch trains your eyes, and record hand to get used to the movement, and to the sound of scratching. And in my opinion, this is the most important scratch you can learn.
    The baby scratch is basically you moving the platter forward and backward. That's it. It may sound simple enough, but getting used to it and making your movements rhythmic is the big challenge. So take your time, and move your platter hand to the tempo of the beat. Try your best to make it clean and precise.
    Steps to learn:
    1. Scratch the beginning of the sample
    2. Know and master the position of your hand on the platter so you know where the sample is
    3. Make it rhythmic
    Once you've learned it and feel confident in it, try altering the pitches of the scratch, and in that way you can make your scratch sound more unique but more importantly, funky!
    When I started out scratching I didn't really build my basics up with this scratch. I went straight for the more difficult ones, and I regret it. If i had only focused on doing this one scratch then learning everything else, would've been far smoother and quicker!
    Scratching on a controller is a little different than scratching on a CDJ or turntable, but it doesn't matter what you use, as long as you can use it.

    I've seen about 10 "beginner scratch" tutorials at this point. This one is the only one that I learned anything from. Thanks man.

    As a new dj i was telling myself "dont scratch, dont scratch, dont scratch".. turn on your video... try again on my conroller... "i can scratch!" Amazing lessons bro. I cant get enough. I am a newborn DJ but I am musically inclined. Your simple tutorials have bridged the gap for me so much. I never intended to become some super dj. I host karaoke nights and the music I play in between simply landed me some dj gigs so I decided to buy a DJ controller....i think i found my calling. Thank you for all the beginner tips! You're a real one sir!

    Even though I am comfortable with the baby scratch, I always come back to this video just to make sure I am not abandoning the basic technique of it. This plus your other tutorials are really great in keeping me motivated to learn more advanced techniques.

    I’ll be honest, at first I had no idea you were actually a legitimate DJ. But obviously after watching enough of your videos (and reading the caption that says you won a championship twice) I’m sorry for any doubt that I had. Thanks for all of your awesome/free advice! Much respect!
