jus get behind the decks...and try it out..
i played for the first time ever last nite at my friends house party, and i was actually doing pretty good...well, i thought so, hah...first time ever and not THAT many trainwrecks...had a few really good mixes too..and all i asked was what knob did what, hah...

some of the people thought i was an actual dj..i guess i was either doing pretty good, or they were really drunk...they didnt have a big collection, mainly DNB and some house...


i'm currently looking for a cheap(but good) dj setup so i can learn to spin..

I can count- I just cant spin records. I just dont understand the concept. Im constantly counting when I listen to music, but I dont know the knobs and such.

PRACTICE PRACTICE PRACTICE!!!

Yeah probly not what you wanted to hear... but its the main thing that will bring your skills up. I dont think ive ever really had anyone "teach me" anything. Most of its been pointers or I ask them a question or two and go back home and try it out.
If your into skratching deffinently pick up a dmc video... hopefully it will keep you even more modivated and show yeah some little tricks.

Watch what other dj's do at your next party. Next time you catch me playing dont hesitate to come and ask what im doing... id be happy to point out some little things ive learned so far.

But again It goes back to practicing... you still see big local dj's watching the pro's. Take what you can and go back home and try it yoru self ;)

study your records over and over so you know every part of the track.. keep practicing cuz it takes people different amount of times to be able to know which track is faster or slower.

djing is easy to learn

if you're that desperate and no one wants to teach you.

definetly go for the rhythm institute.. They'll help you get bookings as well.

Plus the gear that they use is great and the room is soundproof (well almost) and speakers everywhere.

Turn tables aren't like a guitar, they require consistent practice to master beat matching, that's it.

If you want to add amazing skills, like effects, good fades, hi's, low's, and scratching, takes time. Find someone to tutor you.

Akeel: Yeah... wouldn't it be great if you knew how to spin? Then we wouldn't have to all stand around smiling and dancing at you, making you feel better about yourself. :P
