Steve Posted June 26, 2006 Share Posted June 26, 2006 Two things are holding mine back. I can't do forward tears no matter how much I try. Secondly and more importantly, because I scratch hamster I just can't move the fader fast enough. I dunno how other hamster scratchers manage it. I can move it really fast if I have it regular.

Sir Dongbot Posted June 26, 2006 Share Posted June 26, 2006 for me it seems to be lack of originality & coordination to put combos together. I know what you mean about forward tears... I still dont really dice properly which is gash really! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Vekked Posted June 26, 2006 Share Posted June 26, 2006 my record hand sucks, and my chirps suck... both are coming slowly tho Secondly and more importantly, because I scratch hamster I just can't move the fader fast enough. I dunno how other hamster scratchers manage it. I can move it really fast if I have it regular.<{POST_SNAPBACK}> I dunno if this'll help, but I read this guitar magazine a while back on increasing picking speed (which is pretty similar to using the fader, especially hamster style), and basically it said try to move the the pick (or fader) as fast as you can, and whatever position your wrist/fingers/hand is in when you're trying to go your fastest, should be the position their in at all times, even when you're going your slowest, because that is your most comfortable/natural position, and if you practice it going slow and get used to it, your speed should naturally increase just because you're not fighting against yourself and how your hand wants to move... I dunno, works for me, I dunno if I'd consider myself super fast or anything, but it increased my speed a ton... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Posted June 26, 2006 Author Share Posted June 26, 2006 That makes sense. Cheers man. I'll give it a go. Oh yeah - I'm also trying to learn pinch style but I'm rubbish at that too. lol. I can kinda do it, but I'm missing clicks. The cut in on my fader isn't exactly super sharp though (although I'm not blaming it on that. ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tedslipmat Posted June 26, 2006 Share Posted June 26, 2006 i'm just fucking shit. at everything. <{POST_SNAPBACK}>me tooand stupid but I noticed,at least I believe, that the scratchpause I did helped. Dunno. Argh wtfMy mind is on my girl for about 9 months because she's in Syria and she'll come back in 3 weeks and I think our whole relationship is fucked up because of that.

chuckjl Posted June 26, 2006 Share Posted June 26, 2006 I've been feeling the same lately. Seems I can get some techniques going but they never good sound together, never flows nicely. i also want a new scratch record. I've had turkey cuts for about a year, will getting a new one (will be my second) getting me motivated? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

3D Posted June 27, 2006 Share Posted June 27, 2006 My record hand tenses a lot like I'm trying to do drillsbut just randomly, which is annoying. I also really need to get my head around doing reallyslow flares that are'nt just repetitive but funky instead,also to understand what wrist style even is so I canstart to do orbits clean or even at all. The list goes on and on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
