Are there any classes out there that teach scratching? I can beat mix perfectly but I couldn't scratch an itch. I'm learning a little bit on my own as far as where to start a scratch and where to push off but I have no idea where in the heck I would use it.

There is a scratching school in Florida. I can look to see if I still have the info. If that's to far there are a lot of good videos/DVD's.

I know Skilz's website has some links to scratch tutorials.

It's in nearby NYC. Looks pretty awsome, and I think I just found my Christmas present.
