Crab Scratch in a Beat

[FitnessOfTheGods]

LOL at the comments! I made this vid in 2005, my english is much better now, if you want a new tutorial leave a comment on my channel(this one) and il make it in 2012, check out my new hobby aswell, epic handstand push ups :P

[Kitbeats]

00:40 Godlike

[leonardo63263]

ese beat lo robastes de maxi mira en inernet maxi beatbox scratch

[alrightjudgeme]

you should do a tutorial to explain 0:37-0:39!!

[oreliav1]

damn its hard 0:37 -0:39

[JustGetTricky]

Mines sound like Shit -__-

[75egcg]

i just swallowed my chaw trying to do this

[CRKMega]

how i can do like this: when you say vocal R you you push air out of your mouth, but how you can say R but you breath in?? i want to know? ps. sorry my english :(

[wisegirl291]

sorry i typed that wrong.. its more like

"B Ts pf tooka tooka B pf tooka too, B Ts pf tooka tooka B pf"

[XdigimonX]

Dollar, Tooka, Tooka Ra Tooka, Tu Ka Ta Too Kra Too

are good :O

[XdigimonX]

Simple beat to use for this is: B, T, Pf, Tooka Tooka B Pf (x4)

Make sure to practice this to make it faster and so on.

In the beginning it sounds too slow and a bit too normal but with practice of course it gets better.

B = Kick Drum

T = Closed Hihat

Pf = Pf Snare (DUH)

Tooka = A variation to crab scratch to make it faster. Say this inwards for a fast scratch. Good Luck all! >:D

[MohanABK]

@XdigimonX Tooka tooka is one of the variations of crab scratch.

Could you tell me more? or tell me where I can find words (like 'tooka') that sound cool when crab scratched?

I can crab scratch... but its just that I don't know any cool combos... All i know is tooka.

Thanks :P

[Tombkingretr0]

@MohanABK Try 'water water' or 'dollar dollar' (I Prefer dollar to tookah, the consonant at the start is more stressed)

Try this beat too:

B scratch pf scratch scratch b pf

[MohanABK]

@Tombkingretr0 so you mean:

B [dollar] PF [dollar] [dollar] B PF? kk thanks yo I will practice more. :P

[wisegirl291]

@Tombkingretr0 I tried

B scratch pf tooka tooka B scratch tooka too, B scratch pf tooka tooka B pf

and it sounds awesome XD

[SeveProds]

@XdigimonX wow thanks ! i will practice it

[XdigimonX]

@SeveProds Np! ;D Good Luck!

[2142ordbok]

[dirtmas]

u breathe in! :D

[abudi09]

[HardstyleMatt]

@iBrianPurple

Both :)

[mikendana3262]

definatly conquered it thank you it helped alot the hard part was learning to breathe in while beatboxing but after 2 wks of tryin i got it and now its been about a month and i keep gettin better everyday

[TionGrowlers]

Thank you so much :D After like two weeks of trying to learn it i finally get it.

[LndSofaKing1337]

Crab scratch invented by DJ Qbert and his crew. Your description is missing leading as it seems that Abra invented it, he just happen to intergrate it into his beatboxing.

Good vid though.

[Kadziu1234]

i do it at 3rd try ;p

[ernis1100]

same

[mikendana3262]

this helped out alot with scratching although i still cant get it to sound right with the beat behind it (like you did) i need to practice more

[Hotdevilzz2]

Took me around 4 days to make it sound perfect, gonna take a shitload to turn it into a beat now

[imbonkersuaretu]

how long was the train to accomplish this?

[Syaaj17]

not too long XD..

[imbonkersuaretu]

ok...thanks**

[Syaaj17]

yea, if your still having problems i got some more tips to help like...

your top lip, let the skin inside where the spit or teeth or whatever touches it lifted, not your top of lip close to your nose touching it.

[OboyBoy94]

a cant do it . jag have fucking traning in 3 months ,, fuck am so close

[WARNING475]

i can't find it:S

[bboywave1]

lv it i have to learn this lz help i don't get it do u blow in or whisle? thanks

[GooGLPlleX]

u suck in

[PenniwiseXX]

THAT WAS SO AWESOME

[PenniwiseXX]

AWESOME!!!!!!!!!

[AGCrush]

OMG ic ant do it some one can help me !??

[Syaaj17]

hmm.. position your hand liek the guy in the video meaning have you fingers up if his is up and etc. Then breathe in on that spot easy or hard whatever u wanna do. Dont press your mouth on it hard. Just gently have your lips on the hand.

or

Position your hand like a crab scratch, and have your thumb in the middle of your lips and the fingers on your cheek and inhale. Make sure your fingers (index to pinky) are horizontal with ur lips

[bannaboard]

how do i go faster?

[NasriNasoor]

ya same thing here.... i was able to do it but i want to go faster :(

[Kn1ghtSwitch]

You do the sound "t k t" A closed high hat, an outward snare( make it sound like a minor k sound), and another closed high hat. Practice it first and make it sound like a horse galloping. If you are successful in doing this, do it breathing in. If this doesn't help, type in "Beatbox Tutorial: Crab Scratch" by BeatboxFrank

[iloveredsox7020]

@bannaboard

well thats all on the technique

when you inhale you say the word wata or tooka... the to go fast say tookady tooka or chigidy chew...

that more of the techniqe of vocal scratch... try messing aroun d with diffrent owrds until you find what works best for you.. i personally say wata tu..and chigidy chew.. but its all up to you

[perezallonzo]

@bannaboard You have to say "t k t" as if the were high hats, only you suck in.

[sk8el3mentfreak]

@bannaboard practice practice practice

[UltraRandomManTV]

@bannaboard

you say tuketty too

[123Nathaniel321]

That helped loads. Thanks and keep it up :)

[NEONALEXANDERGOMES]

OH MANNNN UR GOOD

[fvallejo2]
