Great tutorial. Really helped me understand the intuitive stuff about M2. Also, the memorization techniques seem to be working with the vivid story for corners and the audio for edges. I had my closest BLD solve last night (only 3 corners away), and I know I'll succeed soon. Much faster than I anticipated.

One suggestion about the description of your video:

Part 3 does not have Y-Perm or either parity algorithm in the description, so I had to jot one down from the video. Maybe this was an intentional omission, but it might be helpful to add. Also, the m-slice edge algorithms are much less intuitive than the other edges, so I had to mine those out of the huge list. Not as much of a problem though, but here's how my notes from the video look:

Y Perm (corners): R U' R' U' R U R' F' R U R' U' R' F R

Edge Parity Fix: D' L2 D M2 D' L2 D


UB (A): M2
BU (Q): B' R B U R2 U' M2 U R2 U' B' R' B

UF (C): U2 M' U2 M'
FU (I): D M' U R2 U' M U R2 U' D' M2

DB (W): M U2 M U2
BD (S): M2 D U R2 U' M' U R2 U' M D'

Wow, Good Progress. I got my first BLD solve like 2-3 weeks back when I was avg about 26 sec :)
