[MUSIC]

So, okay pattern three.

Now, a very famous scratch technique is,

once again the building block of the
following phrase.

So, let's have a look at the demo,

to see what it means here.

[MUSIC]

So, as you could see,

this is a boomerang scratch plus, an
additional double time baby scratch or

scribble, depending of the playing speed.

For repeating the boomerang scratch.

[SOUND] Is also a technique, where we
start with the open fader,

now we move the record forward, cut the
sound by the thumb, and a tap for

the backward, [SOUND] Then opening for the
forward, [SOUND] Then backward closing.

[SOUND] Forward tap, [SOUND] Backward
opening.

So, basically, it's nothing as two clicker
on a cross fader and a baby scratch.

[SOUND]
But

important to create the significant
trademark of the boomerang is to.

The accentuation of certain record
motions, it means when we start with

the forward, we accentuate the forward
motion, by closing,

[SOUND] Then tapping in the lower pitch,
[SOUND] Forward in a lower pitch,

[SOUND] And then this backward motion also
accentuated, and we close.

[SOUND] And then forward tap [SOUND] And
backward [SOUND] Opening.

So, after this, after we have played the
boomerang one time,

we add now a double time baby scratch
inside, okay.

And then we go into the next boomerang,
performance it means.

Once again.

[SOUND]
And

[SOUND] This little double time baby
switch.

So, I play it now over a beat.

[MUSIC]
One, two, three, four.

[SOUND]

So in this little edition as you could
hear.

Between every boom, there's a reason why
the boomerang performance

changes position within the performance.

And this is quite cool I think.

So for repeating I will explain, oh no.

We can make a Q and A.

And, yeah this is the best way for
training.

[MUSIC]
Three, four.

[MUSIC]

So another way to create a variation of

this is when you play instead of the
double-time between the boomerang and

as a record motion, another type of a
record motion pattern.

This can be, for example, a tear.

One forward two backward.

So the whole phrase go like,

goes like this boomerang [SOUND]
Sorry,

once again [SOUND]
Or

you can also play instead of this tear a
clover tear.

So and yeah, try it.

Try to play new variations send me some
replies, some new videos.

And I hope you like the idea of this
tutorial.

Advice is when you start your scratching
performance by improvisation or freestyle.

Try to play on certain positions of the
whole beat.

Kind of like a refrain to create a
trademark of your whole performance.

This is very common.

You know, this is a, a nice way to advance
your scratching performance.

So, cheers Alex.
