Thats what happened with me... I had 2 months of being REALLY frustrated with my beatmatching, and then one day I did ONE perfect mix, and everything worked from there...

Now, I can usually beatmatch two songs within 30sec, and when I'm mixing breaks, I sometimes do some live mixing (which makes peoples jaw drop when you do it!!) .. but that's taken a lot of practise and I've had to know my records inside-out...

Practise is all he needs... just playing every day (or every week if he doesnt have the time), even if the two tracks aren't matched every time it's still good experience..

Good luck!

i am also trying to teach my friends to beat match, and even though ive had my decks 6 mo and can beat match quite easily, i find it hard to teach them too.

one good tip is to beat match it for them beforehand, so then they just have to practice dropping in at the right time and adjusting it to be in sync. then they can hear the difference if its just out and get used to it.

Seany_G just let your friend learn himself!!!!He aint that useless is he?

its the best feeling when u work it out yourself, better then getting taught by anyone.
