DJ Tutor way of teaching ,video 2, opening the box!"

0:00 I know that sounds really bizarre because this is mainly sort of about

Alright folks, Jonathan here. This is video number two in a selection I'm doing on my basic way of teaching, which is very, very basic. First of all, if let's say you just had a new piece of kit and you feel you would like to do a video on that particular piece of kit, whether it be anything from, in a sense I suppose really, even a dishwasher. I know that sounds really bizarre because this is mainly sort of about DJing. But the whole emphasis of the DJ Tutor sort of way of teaching is go to the very basics. So, for example, if you've just had a new washing machine, then of course maybe you'd like to follow these instructions. So, you've just had your new piece of kit. What's the first thing you need to do? You need to open the box. Now then, OK, how do you open the box? Now a lot of people would just go like that and you'd probably pull it apart. Some people would open the box with one of those.

0:56 One of those, maybe even one of those

One of those, maybe even one of those. But ideally you want a small knife. Make sure it's not too sharp because you might cut yourself. Now again you're probably thinking this is absolutely balmy but there are some people out there that will just simply destroy the box. Now bearing in mind there could come a time when you may have to send that item back to get fixed and if you've broken the box you have one of two options, one of three options really. To just send it as it is, which is a bit silly. The second option is to make your own box and that's wasting time and effort and it's a pain in the arse. Or the third option is to just sit there, cry and think, oh my god, oh my god! So, by opening the box correctly means, guess what? It will last a lot longer. Alright, so again, video number two. You've opened the box.

And again, this sounds very bizarre, but we're taking things to the very basics. Now every single item in that box is important. So what I mean is even items like, if I can get the damn thing out, that is, like that. That is a piece of polystyrene, that's what we call it in the UK, and that houses your particular item. So keep those two pieces or three pieces or ten, however many pieces are in there. And make a note of all the items you've got in the particular box. Now there's the one piece of polystyrene, put that in there. There's the other piece, put that in there. There is the box. Now also check around the outside of the box because you never know there could be important documentation on there. And then put that somewhere safe. Not next to a fire, not on the roof because it'll get wet, but somewhere in a closet or maybe in the loft or somewhere out of reach.

2:51 From stage one when you get

This is the DJ Tutor way of teaching and you would like to do your own videos. Explain from stage one when you get your item. You open it, explain how you open it. The reason I'm saying this, because I suppose there is an irony with this video, because I'm almost doing the tutorial myself. But, this here, okay, is the American Audio, it's the SDJ-1. Now, you may have a Pioneer product, you may have a Technics product, you may have a Denon product. Every single product is slightly different. Okay, it comes in a box, but you've got different pieces in that box. So explain what you need to do with those certain pieces even prior to plugging the items into the electricity to get power so you can use it. So this is video number two explaining to you the very basics of how to start doing tutorials. Now I hope you get this. Practice and enjoy.
