Learn from the bestFebruary 11, 2006 7 out of 7 found this review helpful
This is an excellent tool for learning how to scratch. Qbert takes you through 30 chapters of different scratch techniques and teaches by matching his combo. He'll play and then you'll play and the lesson loops until you are ready to move along.
not good for those who want to learn scratchingJanuary 16, 2006 10 out of 13 found this review helpful
I have seen many scratch videos and this is not good for learning, he's just doing diferent types of scratching but with no detailed information on how to do it. If you want to see Qbert scraching get it, but if you are looking for learning how to scratch you should try "Turntable Technique - the art of the dj" by BERKLEE PRESS, book-video & records.

This dvd is amazing -- I've been in percussion for about 8 years and recently turned to learning how to scratch. Q-Bert displays how to do each scratch in a very clear manner and goes from simple rhythms to more complex adding things from each previous lesson. This was definitely made for people like me who don't know any scratch djs around and want to get into the art. Don't expect to get these down over night.. Like Q-Bert, you're going to be practicing for a long long time to get some of these things down.

This DVD gives a very good introduction to all the basic scratching techniques. The multiple camera angles and soundtrack options are brilliant - in fact it's the first time I've seen these DVD features used in a useful way.
Qbert's personality makes this fun to work with. He doesn't try to drop jargon or come off as some kind of hipster. No bragging about being one of the world's best DJs (although he is.) His style is very casual and conversational - it feels like you're hanging out with him at his house on a saturday afternoon.
Note that Qbert scratches in a "hamster" style (with the crossfader flipped from right to left) - This might not be your style. And if you don't have a hamster switch (Normal/Reverse) on your mixer you won't be able to copy his moves. Personally I don't use the hamster style but I was still able to learn a lot from the disc.
Highly recommended.
One thing...September 25, 2005 7 out of 9 found this review helpful
Love it. I like how they loop the lessons over and over, but they should have looped the same one a few times before they moved on to the others. I have to keep rewinding. And there are no different angles like they say there are. But overall still a happy purchase.
