Video version of this tutorial that I wrote. I've had several requests to turn this into a video, and now this is a video! I only have the introduction so far, I'm compressing Part 1 right now, and hopefully will be up by tomorrow.

EDIT: All 7 parts are now on!

I tried the method that seerusgod teaches in his video. The method involves giving each piece a specific name (a, b, c, or 1,2,3) then memorizing where each piece goes.
 
I do that for the corner stickers (A to X). That's easy because there are only a few to remember (7 to 9, typically).
For edges I assigned an image to each sticker and I build a story from the sequence. This is working well for me (as long as I don't forget to close the additional cycles...)
 
I can't believe that so many people like my videos. It just encouraged me to make more! I finished making my M2/R2 videos, it will take a while to import them to my computer, compress them, and upload them, but I hope that they will all be up sometime between tomorrow and Saturday.

I have a very nice high-quality camera up right now, so if anyone needs me to make a tutorial, I can do it right now.
 
Holy crap, I can actually understand these BLD tutorials.

Great job on explaining things; I can finally start BLD solving! FINALLY!


The only thing I don't like is the memorization method you use. I prefer numbers over letters, don't ask me why. Can you explain alternate memo methods?

EDIT: Great Scott! It all makes sense now! :eek:

EDIT2: Nevermind, I found a visual memo tutorial on your Youtube account.

EDIT3: I think your explanation in part 5 was rushed. I couldn't understand it very well. Otherwise, excellent job. I can finally start blindsolving.

Thanks for the tutorials.

I like your videos! thanks. But still didnt manage to solve it BLD. I manage to solve it using the method with eyes opened. But not when im not looking at the cube. Even if I write down the notation and try to solve the cube. I always forgot the setup move to redo the setup.

Click to expand...

Just all about practice.
 
I use words, cool means BLU to UFL (BLU is my buffer, C is the UFL piece and L is where U is in the buffer) bar = BLU to BUR (B = the BUR piece and U in the buffer goes to R)

I remember that as it's cool to go to the bar
