Welcome to part 6 of my 9 part series of videos on the equipment you need to start scratching.
In the previous video in this series we covered scratch vinyl. In this video, we take a look at Instrumentals.
Ready? Let’s go!
Instrumental beats are what we scratch to and a good beat can inspire your scratching flow.
You can scratch over any instrumental. The most common being hip hop and electro style beats. Just find a beat you like and get scratching!

This tutorial is taken from Course 1 – Equipment Needed from inside my online School of Scratch.
The School contains over 80 HD super in-depth, well broken down scratch tutorial videos that teach you how to scratch in great detail from the very beginning, all the way up to advanced levels.
It is the course I wish existed when I was learning how to scratch and found it really tough and frustrating. I’ve shared everything I know about scratching in a simple step by step program and continue to add new videos every month.
