DJcity Scratch Combo of the Month: Episode 24 – July 2017

Welcome to episode 24 of my DJcity “Scratch Combo of the Month.” This is the final episode in this series.

Huge thanks to you for watching and to DJcity and DJ Styles Davis for making this possible.

I have included a special FREE bonus course for you at the end of this post.

This month we create a Forward, Reverse, Crab combo.

Learning the individual scratches that make up this combo first will definitely help. If you need help with that I recommend diving into my School of Scratch.

If you are a regular crossfader scratch DJ, I recommend learning the individual techniques listed in the breakdown first, then putting them all together using this video as a guide. You do not have to be a hamster / reverse crossfader style DJ to do this combo. It is for everyone! I have a guide to help regular scratch DJs learn with me here.

Have fun with it!
