Beginner's Mind as a Scratcher

[@wordupezine7956]

Wish we'd have more scratch DJ discussions like this... crazy informative

[@DMan-G]

I hope these young people appreciate how good (and legendary) of a teacher they have!

[@djrobswift]

Thanks for showin’ love.

[@Planetugm]

Well said bro!

[@DjGuanacOfficial1-L.A]

I want to thank you for all your videos. Old school dj here. Over 20yrs. I have always appreciated the art of of scratching. Im not very good at it. I usualy do the basic baby scratches. With your videos, i have learned and picked up so many tecniques, i have pushed myself to practice and practice more. What i used to think was impossible for me to do, im actually getting much better at it. I push myself. Educating and focusing on my hand movements. Your videos are inspiring. Thank you

[@getupandgotransport6344]

I learned the hard way of djing. With these videos its making a lot easier to scratch and mix. But all the videos in the world will not help. You really need dedication and a lot of practicing. Good luck to all SuKa'S Dj'S Ha!

[@captinweestain526]

Same mate, i was scratchning patterns not knowing what they were called also Ay maybe i might have made a knew one, doubt it though, Cheers Bert and Styles.

[@rbiznezz2]

first one was abstract and chaotic, 2nd one was in the pocket and funky

[@djrobswift]

I agree 100%. Spot on analysis.

[@thecapothedon]

swift is a demi god of knowledge with the tips on scratching. Your videos help me out every time i get frustrated because every time i hit a point where i get stuck, i just stumble across one of your videos that helps me out and improves my scratches.

[@djrobswift]

Max respect to you sir!

[@jonofmadisons]

These are INCREDIBLE. I'm so happy I found these

[@MastinoNapoletano420]

Cheyenne used something that most musicians don't fully comprehend, space. She understands you don't always have to say something all the time, you just have to say the right something at the right time.

[@gunchief0811]

I love the Focus and the Humility and the bond u guys are creating...

[@daduragbandit8023]

I'm just getting into turntablism and I can honestly say that your videos help me to feel like I can do it... I will be checking this channel out more often... thanks Rob

[@djrobswift]

Respect

[@kevonmanuel]

Incredible. Back in the ole days, you learn to scratch by watching other people scratch, going home and practice practice, practice, and more practice. Now we have turntablism classes?? What the heck?

[@MagnumDB]

Or walking from record store to record store looking for scratch lesson VHS tapes. I found maybe... two of them when I was in NYC for college in '99-'02

[@hadbl12]

Stop hating.. appreciate the homie for doing good work

[@beincheekym8]

people helping each other to learn something? unbelievable right

[@DerekWilsonProgrammer]

its like Rob Swift is an amazing painter, and he's teaching people how to paint. It's like he's an expert and he's passing on knowledge to beginners. It's like he's a teacher, teaching a class on an artistic endeavor. In any art, you have to learn the basics somewhere from someone. DJing is an artform, and some artists are better than others, but the way of teaching is straightforward and useful.

[@MrWoodysteel]

I soooo love this. I'm paying attention. Good observation and all these tips I will keep in mind.

[@jimithjameth]

Yeah what a teacher!! inspired me to finally start with a pt01 scratch and enjoy that then get the real deal :) Words of wisdom and the power of turntable knowledge

[@FaderFlosser]

Rob you are such an amazing teacher and mentor! I have learned so much from you. Thank you!!

[@djdackwaldon6633]

For the time she had to learn those scratches I think she did awesome, I'd love to see her go in now, i'll bet she's killing it. Both students were good in my opinion and that teacher's pretty good too...lol...another great video Rob !

[@PriscillaGomez]

Love this!

[@joachimjohann873]

just simply great Rob!

[@djclovisa5463]

Your vids are amazing as always been watching it over and over to learn

[@KaosVerket]

[@sisyphusvasilias3943]

[@ricketycricket3242]

God dam I'd love to have Rob Swift as my turntableist sofi

[@mbf6160]

My goal this up coming yr is to get better mixing and scratching

[@quicksno]

Let me pose this question. How many Cheyenne's do you come across per 20 students? She seems to be an outstanding student.

[@ALLCOMPTON]

That YES shirt though.😍

[@TheCondorjc]

You wanna know where Rob Swift is coming from, listen to Premier's X-ecution, from X-ecutioner's Built from Scratch. Dude rips the beat a couple new ones.

[@DJShyHouse]

Both were Dope, the second one, was just as soon as she imagine it she scratched it!!!!

[@buddafingaz7516]

Great video, thanks man . :)

[@djfred5027]

Feels like I’m at the school lol

[@geerocks]

[@Hills631]

[@djrobswift]

[@Danyns]

[@SantiagoVillalbaz]

is it really important to have an innofader in the mixer? I ask you because I have a Reloop rmx 22i and I feel like buying an innofader. Thank you

[@JMJC1]

If your fader is clean and loose, no.

[@SantiagoVillalbaz]

JBLAZE999 OK, but it improves performance, I mean is there a difference between faders? I tried the magvel of the pioneer Djm 900 and I found the difference abysmal, thanks

[@quicksno]

So basically what Theresa said is that when you brush your teeth (wash the dishes) you do it with conviction. That is to say some have more conviction than others.?

[@captinweestain526]

1st video is direct 2nd flows Hmmm 1st video has more skill, it's hard to to scratch on such a small note, the 'aghhhh' scratch is pretty basic. Props to both

[@27RoDo27]

maybe 1st one was harder to scratch but he was so much of beat, sometimes basic scratch sound better when you are master them, 2nd video girl just rips the flow and beat with only basics.. she was technicaly correct, she wasnt off beat

[@captinweestain526]

@TheKizilg1 I know that, she was doing tranforms. the other guy had a smaller note to scratch with.

[@Devo_gx]

It's like piano players playing a piece really fast.. To me, that's not as impressive as being able to playing with emotion and expression.

[@djcranium1210]

The girl seems she's thinking too much and not feeling .

[@djrobswift]

It was only her 2nd day learning how to scratch. Give it time.

[@jonathonlesko3554]

Rob Swift that was only her second day!?!?!?!

[@jonathonlesko3554]

Wow. Beautiful rhythm for such a beginner

[@armandomaldonado5959]

The first one sucks the girl is to stiff she needs more work
