How hard is it to learn how to mix songs like DJs do? I was listening to DJ Earworm's tracks on youtube and it is so amazing and all I can do is make a medley of songs but not mix them like he does!! How does one learn that? Is it very, very hard? Because it looks hard O_O

I am not sure how's hard it is to learn how to dj. I bet you can find some videos on YouTube, that will help in your learning process. If you are really interested, maybe you can find a local dj, that will let you watch them and learn. It never hurts to ask.

I don't think you can really learn without practicing. Watch some DJ's at a show, and get a few pointers. Then, get the equipment you need and practice, practice, practice!!

I think Danny's right, the key to getting better is a lot of practice. I had a friend in college who was a DJ and he worked really hard on it, it was his passion. He gradually got better, but I think it took him at least a couple years before he really had it down. It's one of those things that takes a fair amount of coordination.
