Transcripts

Andrew Gutterson:Hey, my name is Andrew Gutterson from Beatboxer Entertainment. Today, I will be teaching you how to beatbox. I will be teaching you some very basic beats. The first beat will be a bass beat which sounds like this. I will be teaching you inward and outward snares which sound like this. I will be teaching you different bass beats such as Throat Bass.

I will be teaching you the Techno Bass beat. I will be teaching you different scratches, which is the chewy scratch which sounds like this and the vocal scratch which you heard earlier but sounds like this. I am going to be teaching you how to the hi-hat which sounds -- or the closed hi-hat and the open hi-hat. So the closed hi-hat sounds like this and the open hi-hat sounds like this and at the end of my series I am going to be showing you how they all come together to make a beat. What are you going to need to beatbox is you are going to need your mouth, you need a glass a water and your own creativity.

A little bit about me, I have been beatboxing for about five years. I beatboxed with my group of my college and I have also beatboxed with the well known beatboxer, the godfather, who is known as Rahzel. So now let's get started with me teaching you how to beatbox.
