 Q-berts Complete Volume 1 Scratching Great for beginners! February 6, 2010
A. LAZIN
This is a great tool for beginners to learn how to scratch. The DVD allows you to loop the scratch videos infinitely until you get it right. This is highly recommended for anyone looking to learn basic scratch techniques.

This is an excellent tool for learning how to scratch. Qbert takes you through 30 chapters of different scratch techniques and teaches by matching his combo. He'll play and then you'll play and the lesson loops until you are ready to move along.

This dvd is amazing -- I've been in percussion for about 8 years and recently turned to learning how to scratch. Q-Bert displays how to do each scratch in a very clear manner and goes from simple rhythms to more complex adding things from each previous lesson. This was definitely made for people like me who don't know any scratch djs around and want to get into the art. Don't expect to get these down over night.. Like Q-Bert, you're going to be practicing for a long long time to get some of these things down.

This DVD gives a very good introduction to all the basic scratching techniques. The multiple camera angles and soundtrack options are brilliant - in fact it's the first time I've seen these DVD features used in a useful way.
Qbert's personality makes this fun to work with. He doesn't try to drop jargon or come off as some kind of hipster. No bragging about being one of the world's best DJs (although he is.) His style is very casual and conversational - it feels like you're hanging out with him at his house on a saturday afternoon.
Note that Qbert scratches in a "hamster" style (with the crossfader flipped from right to left) - This might not be your style. And if you don't have a hamster switch (Normal/Reverse) on your mixer you won't be able to copy his moves. Personally I don't use the hamster style but I was still able to learn a lot from the disc.
Highly recommended.

Love it. I like how they loop the lessons over and over, but they should have looped the same one a few times before they moved on to the others. I have to keep rewinding. And there are no different angles like they say there are. But overall still a happy purchase.
