Great stuff Rob. I always tell people they need to learn all the old 70s and 80s scratches before moving to all the newer stuff. There is a natural progression that you can learn which makes things easier because you have the foundation of the basics.

Kelkol Productions it’s pretty good. That baby scratch anyone can do by simply looking. But once you start using the fader people need a little more help. He forgot to tell them which way to start the motion w your hand on the record when you use the fader. Basically you are using a stab technique, w out stabbing it..that’s the part that most people fuck up.

Love to see it done the correct way. No fader swap... Unfortunately for me when I started DJing in the early 90's there was no videos to help me learn. So I did it how I thought it should be done. But, I learned my self how to do it left handed, even though I'm right handed. 30 years later I still can't get over the muscle memory so I'm using my weaker hand on the fader. So instead of being a scratch DJ I decided to be a mix DJ. Mixing my tracks hard and fast, Cutting in piano breaks, and vocals. Constantly working the fader on beat switching,
