www.fattonybbx.com I don’t like the Abra scratch but it seemed that every other message I received was requesting a tutorial for one. I really don’t like the scratch at all. I don’t like how it sounds, I don’t like that everybody thinks it’s the greatest thing since sliced bread, I don’t like anything about it. I didn’t want to do an Abra scratch tutorial. So I didn’t. This is my girlfriend, the incredibly talented LuckeyMonkey. It’s her first beatbox tutorial as well, and I may well ask her to do some more in the future. Check her out at http – subscribe, check her videos, etc. The Abra scratch is also commonly called the crab scratch, finger scratch, and transformation scratch. To make the sound: 1 – Make a kissy face 2 – Put your finger against your lip (or, indeed, any part of your hand / arm / foot) 3 – Inhale whilst breathing words like “too” or “tooka” 4 – Use uvular oscillation and clickrolls to add rolls to the scratch 5 – Put into a beat 6 – Note that there are a massive variety of ways you can do this sound. The finger and thumb method described is the most common when it comes to putting the sound into a beat because it’s possible to do it whilst holdinga microphone. Described as “[one] of the finest exponents of the hip-hop discipline” by YouTube’s music blog, Fat Tony’s tutorial series is THE definitive guide to learning how to beatbox.
