Finally!!!! I got around to making an easier version of my previous crab scratch tutorial! Hope everyone who watches this gets it, and if you don't, tell me what you don't understand and I'll do my best to help.
U LEDGEND u helped me so much.. ive been learning beatboxing for a bout 4 mounths now and your tutorial has been the most helpful and easyest... THANK YOU SO MUCH.... i apriceate the help so much.. U LEGEND..
if you do a beat with the crab scratching, the air surplus would be used when you do "out" sounds like a snare or kick drum. doing this will help your scratch last longer.
i got it almost imediately , the crab scratch sound at least, thank you very much for explaining the hand position so in depth..it really makes a unimaginable difference, oh and thanks to the commentors for the inspiration lol.
I was planning on doing a part where I covered the sounds, since I had a chart of about 30 sound combinations, but explaining them would have run the video over ten minutes. I'll find some time to make a video on that. the fast scratching just comes from practice, which you are doing so persistently!
Amazing video. I got this right away! I never thought it was so easy to get the scratching sound, but now I just need to train how to make it sound good XD
this is great, helped much more when u pointed out the spots on your hand that match up with with point on ur mouth cause i had no idea lol i was like just shoving my hand in my face
So yeah.. what I did to finally get the sound was just to pucker my lips while the corners of my mouth was on the Thumb joint and the one Index Finger joint.
I watched this video tons of time I can do the crab scratch okay now. I just need help with that one scratching part you did when you were free styling. If you could make a full depth tutorial on that, it would be much appreciated.
OMFG thanks man!!! I've been trying to do this for months, but since I couldn't I've been doing the vocal scratch (which isn't that good)... after watching this video, my beatboxes sound way better :)
I finally got it OK I'll kind of teach you guys so: Doing it left hand thene I'll tell about right its pretty much the same though so you make that shape with your hand put your thumb on your left side of your mouth put your index finger or the finger right next to your thumb on the right side if your mouth thene that line you making with both your fingers suck air threw that that's how I got it and for people using right hand do same thing but put your thumb on your right side and and your index finger or finger right next to your thumb. And for people wondering why I'm saying the finger right next to you thumb is because for people that don't know what index finger is but that's its and got any question or problems tell me, also you have to practise with your that sound it might not be perfect but it still works.
@hateretah Maybe try doing it then record your self doing it and see if it sounds right, ive been trying it and usually to ur self it doesnt sound right but if u can hear your self doing it it might help
hey cool guy i usually catch on pretty fast but my thumb is sore and my lips are dry from practicing buuut i still cant get that nice scratch you got can you post a video on the visual of what makes the scratch is it the hand or the mouth???:D
How do u do it without consuming too much air.. Because when i do it, my lungs get full with air in about 3 tu-ka and i hav too stop to breathe out.. In here looks like u can do it for way longer time of period
I was doing this for around an hour straight... I feel like im almost getting it but i cant keep it going. I had a few moments where i would get the sound out and be like "Whoa! how'd i do that..." and not be able to repeat it. Also i feel like im breathing in took quickly- but cant bring myself to get any sound out if i do slower.
@mrapbeatbox its like prenouncing tsjk use the k of that and you can do the tuka tuka without choking(and dont put an english accent in it, say it like german people)
My Problem: When I inhale air, the windy noise that my lips make is louder than the scratching sound. Is there a way to make it louder, or am I doing something wrong?
