What IS a DJ Tutor? responce to Briansredd

0:01 This is a response to Brian's video entitled What is a DJ Tutor?

Right folks, this is a response to Brian's video entitled What is a DJ Tutor? Well a long time ago I went on the web and realised there weren't that many tutorials for DJs so I decided to do my own. Basically on a Saturday I had a choice. I could either work if I wasn't working, I could watch The X Factor or do videos. Now it was a really really tough decision between The X Factor and do videos but I'm afraid The X Factor are lost. So, I decided to do a whole bunch of videos and I thought, I've got a little bit of knowledge, why don't I try and put that down onto video footage, bung it on the web and see if anyone would be bothered in watching. But people were bothered, they started to watch and they got a bit of information and in turn now what's basically happened is we've almost got the biggest, well I say it as possibly the biggest DJ community out there in the entire world.

1:26 This is a hip-hop turntablist DJ

And that's possibly the only time you'll ever hear me blow my own trumpet. Actually, Ryan's got a trumpet in there. This is the whole philosophy of DJ Tutor. I'll explain. If you can work this out, it doesn't take a genius, then you'll understand where I'm coming from and hopefully if you can play a part in this, then you can play a part in DJ Tutor as well. Imagine this is a club DJ. This is a hip-hop turntablist DJ. This is a club DJ, a very, very good club DJ, knows a whole bunch of stuff. A turntablist DJ, fantastic, knows a whole bunch of stuff as well. They meet. Hi, hi, how are you? What are you? Oh, I'm a turntablist DJ. Oh, right, I'm a club DJ. Fair enough, OK, they met, but imagine this. Oh, right, how are you?

Will you teach me how to cut and scratch? No, sod off. Will you teach me how to mix? No, banger off. Well the sad thing is there, is that they've both got loads of information but they're not willing to share it because they feel maybe they've got that information over a period of time, it's taken them a long time to get it so why should they give it for free? In a sense I suppose yeah. Why should they give it for free? Because they've had to learn themselves. Maybe they've had to learn the hard way. Maybe they've spent years and years of getting their skills. Maybe it's cost them money, but why should they give that information away for free? I'll explain. Check this out. Oh hi, I'm a club DJ. Hi, I'm a turntablist DJ. Will you teach me how to mix? Yeah, of course I will. Will you teach me how to cut and scratch? Yeah, of course I will.

2:46 They both go away, they give each other's knowledge for free

So guess what? They both go away, they give each other's knowledge for free. Now the deal is this. The turntablist DJ can now mix. They have got more knowledge. The club DJ can now do a bit of cutting and scratching. They've got more knowledge. Now guess what? In turn, they are both better. So no longer is the club DJ just fantastic at mixing. The club DJ can do a wicked mix set and chuck in maybe a bit of cutting and scratching in their set, which will make them better. Maybe make them more money, etc. Likewise with the hip-hop turntablers DJ. Now they can add a whole bunch of mixing to their set as well. And they're better. So this is my philosophy. This is what I'm trying to drill into people's heads. It doesn't...

It doesn't cost you anything to give a tiny bit of information. So, if you're in a nightclub, if you're at a party, wherever you are, someone taps you on the shoulder and says, how did you do that? Don't tell them to sod off. Explain. Because by you giving information to them, they will then be inspired maybe to think, do you know what, I'm going to pass some information on to someone else because guess what, that chap actually told me how they did that. Isn't that wonderful? It's good vibe, it's good karma as opposed to... Telling people, no, go away. Practice and enjoy. Thank you. I'm going to pause this now.
