Part Two of Three:
Nailing the Technique

Find a sample or sound on your record to practice
scratching on. Listen to records with an ear for little
moments around which you might build a whole song. Break-

and the drums remain, are commonly isolated for use as the

good melody lines to pair them with.

Listen closely to records and stop the record when you hear
something you might like to use. Go back and try to find
the exact moment that sound begins.
