Great, its always nice to see more attention to CF methods. A nice beginner CF method will hopefully encourage more use of Roux/Waterman

Corners for beginners
1. 0th step of Guimond. Get one face with 3 or 4 corners of opposite/same colors on one side. Place that side on D. If any corner is misoriented, place the misoriented corner at DFR.
2. AUF the corner you wish to orient to UFL.
ACUBE input:
@? @? @? @? @? @? @? @? @? @? @? @? -? ? ? ? +? !!
Alg:
U F' R U' R' F2 . (7q, 6f, 6s)
Apply F' R U' R' F2 to twist the corner at UFL clockwise.
Edit: Will not work for certain cases. When you see a repeating loop appear, just use your best judgement and orient a different corners. It's either that or I will have to use a longer alg.
3. Repeat 2 until all corners are oriented.
4. Mess around with cube in R2, U, D until the layers of opposite colors are separated.
5. [R2, U]*2 R2 to swap DFR and DBR, and swap UFR and ULB.
This can be applied several times to solve any CP. Think of the alg as just doing R2, then alternating U and U' moves until the opposite U/D faces are solved again.
