Where did you learn to solve the cube?/Best beginner tutorial?

[Reinier Schippers]

i learned it from a dutch guy martijn bakker he has a great tutorial but it is in dutch i also learned fridrich with his tutorial

I used Leyan Lo's beginner tutorial, which is what I'm currently using. My best time has been 54 seconds, best average of 5 has been 1:01 seconds. Not sure if I should continue using this method or if I should start learning 2 look OLL and PLL, but anyway. I find it to be the best tutorial, I learned it pretty fast. Most of the others I used confused me after a while.

i heard that ddrmasterdude had a pretty decent tutorial on his youtube channel .....:fp

i learned from various cubing sites

I learned from my 7th grade math teacher. No, seriously. After EOGs (our finals) we had like a week or so to kill so he taught the class how to solve one with a method slightly less reprehensible than pogobat's. Then, like 3 years later (I taught myself to solve a 5x5) I learned 2LOLL from LanceTheBlueKinght. Same with 2LPLL. A couple of printable sheets and a year and a half later and here I am, almost sub 20.

I learned from the instuction manual that came with my rubik's cube.

 

[Samania]

I learnt from Dan Brown, but I hear Badmephisto's tutorial is the best.

 

[ImJustANubCuber]

i found this at toys r us, and I find it great for beginners. It even has some Fridrich and BLD stuff.

 

[Chapuunka]

I learned from Dan Knights' book (with a friend who provided it).

I wish my math teachers were this cool.

I felt like solving it, so I did.

I learned from Youcandothecube.com, think its pretty good for starters, except a bad edge cycle >-<

That's the same method I used, the edge cycle sucks for speedsolving, but I think it is easy for beginners to grasp.

The book that came with the store bought for LBL and Ridos Hunting Story for Intuitive F2L.

 

[Cubenovice]

Jasmine Lee's Beginner's Solution to the Rubik's Cube

Same here.
And I still think it is a good one

It makes you think (understand) just that little bit more about Sune OLL.
CP before CO is pretty nice too because of the easier alg.

I did flip the cube before inserting the middle layer edges though.

 

[Kingsman08]

I learned the beginner method from Dan Harris' book, Speedsolving the Cube. now i am currently learning from Badmephisto the speedcubing methods

^^same, and then i made a video based on it.

Nostalgia O:
I learned from that, 4 years ago.

This is the pro-est, shout out to all those yellow crossers out there

lar5.com/cube is a great place to start if you want a good understanding of the cube.

If you want to just solve it, watch Erik's tutorial.

So true, I learned from Dan Brown, got bored of that method pretty quickly then discovered lar5.com/cube and realised I didn't know the first thing about how the cube actually works.
I'm still finding out new little BB tricks now.

I would highly recommend Lars' website (plus the translations are good too if u doesn't spek inglis)
