Scratch Overview

This is another foundational scratch that will help you learn more difficult scratch patterns. Try to keep everything from your wrist up completely still and only move the record by opening and closing your hand. Once you feel comfortable with that, try adding in those hand movements with larger arm movements to create more intricacies and variations.

Scratch Notations: The BOTTOM of the graph (where the blue line begins) is the start of the scratch sample. The TOP of the graph (where the blue line peaks) is the end of the scratch sample. PUSH the record FORWARD from BOTTOM to TOP and PULL the record BACK from TOP to BOTTOM. The distance from LEFT to RIGHT of the graph is the speed of how fast you move the record.
