Having trouble with BLD-Help Please

[RainbowBoy]

BLD solving is getting annoying for me because I've memorized the edges, then the corners. Then when I finished executing the corners I forget edges, I need like a memory boost, normally I cheat and ask ZB_FTW! what the first edge is.

Then there is really really hard memo. Where the edges are hard to memorize and when I finish one set of edges and move on to the next I forget the last ones I just memorized.

Someone help me please?:confused:

Hmm, well firstly, what methods are you using?

When I used letters for both edges and corners, I often forgot the edges. In my opinion, you should keep doing corners visually, and just repeat the edge memo to yourself in your head, whilst memoing and executing corners.

Thats exactly what I do. My success rate isnt that great though

I'm using that method when you tap on the piece and remember the colour and using letters for edges.

Although I'm not a pro BLDer you could try numbering edges or corners then using words like WYORBG (respective colours) after the number to represent the corner to be switched on which face as in 4w -> 2o then try remembering them into objects,etc.(Making them into funny things/sentences might help)
You could also try putting your fingers to tap (during execution) when you say the next colour you're switching like 4Y you know its ie, at DFL so you tap/put a finger (like glued) there then place it in the position for switching.
And being aware of what you are doing might also help (like not blindly chanting the memo).
To be honest its just like choosing a cube. Choose a method that suits you.
IDK just my few cents.
(PS: I am having execution problems myself...not memo)

I agree with this, by reducing the amount of letters to memorise, obviously you won't be so prone to forgetting. I try to fit in as much visual as I can before moving onto letters.
