How to do the Crab Scratch

Video Transcript

Hey Corey Black the master here once again we are on scratch number six. I like to call this the crab scratch. Pretty much what you got here let me you a sample going here. Right. What you are doing is using your thumb as a spring while you start with your pinkie finger and you come across you know 1,2,3,4. Now don't get this confuse because we have another scratch similar to it which was I was told made by Dj Quebert it is called the twiddle when you use only two fingers which sounds. But, what we are doing today pretty much is the crab and pretty much what you are doing is as the sample plays you would quickly use your thumb as a spring and go across just like this. So if you are at home you want to practice this before you even try it on a record. Just sit home go like this, take some time out, do this kind of thing. So it sounds like this. Now what you are doing you are incorporating the record over here as far as going whatever way you are moving it around to get the sample. Right. We are going to do a little bit of that right now. Hit the beat. This is Corey Black on behalf of Expert Village thank you very much.
