DJ QBert - Tip Scratch
This is an excellent scratch to practice timing and speed without necessarily bringing the fader into the equation. Once mastered one can introduce the cross fader to bring the tips in and out at the desired times. Alternatively you can use the channel fader to gradually fade the tip scratch in and out (or out and in).
Recently I have realised the importance of repetition in practicing to help build speed and accuracy of scratches. Keep scratching until it hurts then take a break and then scratch some more. Its like a workout or body building and must be done regularly to see any improvement. Push yourself to the limit every day and you will see results in a matter of weeks (I did). Speed, accuracy and sound can greatly benefit from this. More on this technique soon.
