DJ Lessons

I've been half heartedly djing at home since covid when i bought a ddj-400 to try and pass some time. I've never given it enough time but now in a position to dedicate a lot of my spare time to it. I know most people will say you dont need lessons but I'd rather have some structured guidance as i know theres a lot i have to learn. I recently upgraded to a ddj-grv6. Is there anywhere anyone would reccomend. These are the suggestions google came up with but would rather have a recommendation from someone whos clued up on it all. I play techno, tech house and house mostly

The fun bit is the practicing. If you can count to eight then you’re good to go.

One of my fave ways to learn was playing with other people. If you have some pals link up with them for a b2b, and share your tricks!!

Yeah don’t go anywhere that charges anything for this

There’s a lot of low level events that need djs just try and network and people will always be around to offer advice and tips

Not a DJ but a lot of my pals were and they all just used to build off each other and would go to support new events and new DJs

Your probably better than you realise and good enough to pick up a support slot somewhere just gotta have the confidence and you ain’t getting that by paying someone to tell you what you already know

Container seems pretty good, I've not been but heard from friends who have.
