Dopez's Super Secret Scratch Tutorial

...well not so secret :-) here's just a quick video of me explaining some of the techniques I've been using lately in my cuts - hopefully it's coherent! follow me on instagram @dopez1200 if you want to keep up with me when I'm not posting videos on here because I post quite a bit of content on there. enjoy the tutorial and feel free to comment if you want further explanation!

[@JamBurglar]

Dope stuff Dopez! Yo, that beat is "Cinematics" by Dujeous. D-Styles and Flare used the loop on their Pharaohs of Funk CD.

[@alexvos7165]

thanks for the tutorial especially the explanation about the whip scratch :) that's my next goal now for sure !

[@sticmatic]

This is downright insane. I wish discovered it earlier. Never heard about whips, California rolls or the importance of transformers over crabs like that. Thanks. 6 years late. But thanks.

[@A.D.D.O.C.D.T]

You have been scratching so long you fingers are flat !?!! Thanks for the video ,I just got back into scratching and need new things to progress where I left off.

[@nicholassabai7284]

I'm amazed at the minimalist movements on your fader hand. All i hear is really complex scratches but looking at your fader hand i see little if at all not any movement at all. When I try to cut i end up with aching arms like i'm using too much effort. How do you manage to do it?

[@DOPEZ1200]

Nicholas Sabai just by relaxing my hands and getting in the pocket :-) literally just practice and keeping a light but agile touch

[@hadbl12]

Nicholas Sabai agreed... you make it looks so simple.... your fader hand....

[@padlockbeats151]

Like my old chef taught me when whisking eggs, it's in the wrist not the arms

[@MujagaWudakhi]

love them scratches man... sound real real dope!!

[@OneBadAssDJ]

You make that shit look too easy. Not everyone can bend all their front fingers on that 45 degree angle like you do. Your front fingers looks like they are bent in half. Ridiculously great scratching I must say. You make that shit look too easy. Much props.

[@Gocha18]

your tutorial are great, can u do any tutorials about juggling some advanced techniques?

[@AyyyGeee25]

Maaaaaaan i hate how easy you make this look!

[@Swiftstyle]

Always Fresh!!

[@MaxSteddy]

😢Too bad there is no possibility of the subtitles option (i'm French 🇫🇷). Can you add the option ? Please ! Thank you in advance for your work, peace........ 🤘🙂

[@djkidstretch]

great video dopez! can you please write the looper name with the beat on it? thanks! :)

[@djnicemayes4064]

Salute and much success to ya I see you on your way to the top #dopeness

[@BpmSupreme]

[@djhypnotize]

Dopez catchin wreck! Good luck wit dmc ! H

[@SiHargreaves]

Deffo gonna get those whips down, nice!

[@supaphonik]

did you get cramps when learning that wave hand motion ?

[@blizteredthumbs7911]

Good stuff :D ..although, scratching can be shown, instructed but never thought ...you must figure it out for yourself ...It's like the matrix, you gotta see it for yourself ..but yes, tasty whips :D

[@RealDJblaze]

SICK!!!

[@velerous5542]

Yo if u my room mate cut it up when ever

[@jamiedotcom9033]

[@alxplato]

[@dem8603]

Respect tha Nerd!.. Salute!!..Fixin' to be better then you 1DAY.. Setting that bar how I live life, I guess. ;.D Blessings your way, Dope'!! .. Piece! xoxox

[@kaleihoopai7332]

Dude your are too fast... Lol I tried the chirp flare whip, but I can't get the sound right. How many sounds are there in one cycle? You do it so fast it's hard to break down the combo... Anyways, still love the videos!

[@captinweestain526]

Hw long you been scratching?

[@DOPEZ1200]

captin weestain just over fourish years now!

[@captinweestain526]

***** Wo, i just wished i started out using my stronger hand on the vinyl, so i can do the same patterns you do.

[@SvedeboXque]

captin weestain DOPEZ uses his weak hand on the record ;)

[@captinweestain526]

Marcus Svedebo So do i, but how does he make so many patterns..Talent. My weak hand movemnt is basic, but my Fader hand is rapid.

[@SiHargreaves]

+DOPEZ Eh?? What about that video of you scratching when you were 8? I'm confused!

[@JMDirect]

Dope! Thx G

[@DJBIGMIX]

nice skills

[@Derfmurc]

wow, great! whats the name of the beat?

[@broke.1]

DJ CRUM Dujeous - ''Cinematics''

[@Derfmurc]

Broke thanx, and where can i find it? is it on a record or on a looper?

[@broke.1]

DJ CRUM It's on the 12" of Cinematics or you can find it on a few loopers as well... I think I put it on The Wave Looper.

[@Derfmurc]

okay, on wich looper ? ?? :)

[@DOPEZ1200]

DJ CRUM fist looper

[@richardcarrera680]

Love hamster view

[@GabREAL1983]

oh my god i am so wack HAHA

[@DJPaulRPW]

FODA

[@antithesis-audio]

Your record hand looks like what a pencil looks like when you wiggle it the right way and it becomes like rubber.

[@freem4nn129]

verrry good

[@evanrandall1675]

Hey man I found you through the scratching world and I really want to emulate your balance between musicality and technicality. I really appreciate the interview you did with Si Hargreaves. I love soaking up priceless advice from the masters looking back on their musical experience. I love what you said about not getting discouraged, because you're right it's very easy to get down on yourself because scratching really is very difficult and unnatural physically. Looking forward to any new content thanks again!

[@PawnshopmikeATL]

Am I sleep deprived or do you have alien noodle rubber fingers? & they bend the backwards too

[@DjMillionFaces]

awesome stuff! best of luck to you at the dmc! take it down : )

[@foobeats]

Love the tutorial, and I hope you'll batlle for the world dmc bro! Can you make a playlist with all the tutorials you post? One Love

[@djfingersflores]

Funky dope !

[@hiphopsuperman]

Any chance you would do a tutorial on your tear technique? You show it briefly at 2:20

[@Dcyde86]

[@bannerrj41]

[@robmac741]

"It's 3:38 in the morning, everyone's in bed" Funny that :).Dig all these vids.

[@davidflorida7002]

I remember finding this video a couple of years ago and thinking, "Neat stuff! This is way above my level. Maybe I'll find this video again in a few years and give it a shot." Here I am today and it's still way too far ahead for me. See you in another little while.....

[@sticmatic]

[@domenicocolaianni1990]

My God.

[@wanchooco]

You’re awesome 👏 it looks like your record hand is warping space-time when you tear 😎😂 (way faster than frame rate KZbin can chooch any way) impeccable timing man

[@jerbear6947]

Dopez, thx man for being awesome and sharing the skills. I can’t seem to figure out how to cut up like clover tears. I’m thinking it would be like a orbit but with the tear in the middle of the 2 clicks in/ on both side’s of the forward and back movements. Does that make sense?

[@alexknoxmusic]

Sick man! I love the two click flare orbits I'm gonna learn it with the whips like you have shown here! Do you have any tips on learning chirps at higher speed? I can do them slow but they sound awful when I try to speed up lol.

[@joelidejesus1423]

Man you mad mad nice nuff respect.but the last time i saw fingures like those was on kermit the frog

[@aslanyo]
