Thank you TDM for response.
So I have another one: how to determine if I should do Interchange first or second when doing commutator?

Do [L D' L', U] for setup.

The interchange will be between UFR and UFL. The interchange movement will be either U or U'.

The third piece (RDF) has to go to UFR. If you place it directly to its correct place (UFR), then placement first (R' D' R), interchange last (U'). Full solution: [R' D' R, U'].
If you place it not to its direct place, but the interchange-place (UFL), then you have to interchange first (U), placement last (L D' L'). Full solution: [U, L D' L'].
 
I just started BLD (literally today)- I've been using Noah's wonderful tutorials at Cubing World. I've been practicing corners-only scrambles for now. Letter scheme is speffz, color scheme is green in front and white on top.
I have a question about cycles, which I think has caused me to fail several attempts.
Scramble: B2 D2 U B2 R2 D2 L2 U' B2 L2 U' R F2 U R F2 D R'
Memo would start with N, but then what? Sorry for asking ridiculously simple questions.

N (RBU) is your buffer piece so just shoot to any other position with an unsolved corner. I like to choose RFD because it requires no setup moves for the short Y-perm. Then you just have to remember that your buffer piece is now in that position.

It's not a ridiculously simple question; I had trouble with this when I first started BLD. What you do is you can choose to imagine the White/Blue/Orange corner is another corner, e.g. Red/Green/Orange, and solve as if you were solving that. So you'd memo P (or K or V, but for now we'll use P). If you then do that, the piece that was in that position - you'll see it's the Blue/Red/Yellow corner - is now in your buffer position, UFR. This has the letter T so you'd then memo T, and continue as normal: G, S, J, I, and then K. When you get back to the piece that's in the position you imagined the WBO piece to be (here it's DFR), the corners should be solved. However, sometimes you'll have to do this twice - I keep my fingers on pieces I've memorised to make sure I don't miss any out.

Oh yeah, one more tip if you are reading this...

Since you have some failed attempts, I would try to figure out what's wrong by writing out the letters you would memorize for a scramble and then executing while looking at what you wrote. You can look at the cube to make sure it's what it's supposed to be according to the sheet. If it doesn't work then try to figure out why. This should help you get rid of the kinks resulting in failed attempts. If you know how it works in theory and memo correctly the only place left to mess up is in forgetting your memo or executing improperly.
 
I am new..........

I can only match a 3x3x3 by using the begineer method....
But I want to learn the Blindfolded.....
which method should I learn as I am a begineer??
plz suggest me a method.....
but plz the easy one....
 
1) Learn T-Perm
2) Learn Y-Perm
3) Learn Old Pochman

You can even skip step 2, but I think is easier this way and you'll find more resources on this approach.

The idea is basically to see the cube as a sequence of "this piece goes here and that one goes there", memorize those cycles and then execute swapping two pieces previously set up to two familiar locations called buffer and target, and then undo set up. You can swap and then orient or do both in the same step.

That said, I suggest you to try to understand and get familiar with all the above terminology before even trying to solve it BLD.
 
what is the technique/name that the advanced blind cubers use? Do they still use the journey memorization with the pochman?
 
for memo advanced cubers use journey, roman rooms, letter pairs, images or sometimes still just sentences and words.
for execution: 3style commutators
