Solving a Shepherd

[BinomDreher]

Does anyone know a good tutorial (website or better video^^) for the 3x3x3 shepherd cube?
I'm somehow afraid that I stickered my cube wrong cause I'm not able to solve it beyond the "F2L-stage"^^

The only solution i could find is this one http://www.fzglobal.org/shepherd.htm - but that doesnt seem enough for me to solve my shepherd -_-

Thx in advance!

There's no need for a tutorial. If you can solve a 3x3, you can solve a Shepherd's cube.

I dont know if you ever tried to solve one - but if you're a Fridrich user (as I am) and you try to solve a shepherd this way, it will be MUCH harder to recognize F2L pairs or OLL or PLL etc... just because you cant distinguish as good between some arrows, and even some of the pieces being interchangeable ( equal edges..) is a bit confusing.
I thought there is perhaps a certain technique or something how to see which cubies belong togeteher or so..

But technically you are rightof course^^

I have a Shepherd's cube, and i'm a Fridrich user too.

I'll admit though, i don't do proper F2L, OLL and PLL on the cube. I do LBL with what's essentially a 4LLL.

You said it yourself. There are equal edges. That means that you might get stuck on PLL because of parity. Just exchange 2 equal edges and start the last layer again

Last weekend in Clermont I tried the 4^3 shepherd cube. With cage of course
The main difficulty is to put the corners in place, but once it is done, the rest is quite easy. (The last 4 edges are a little bit tricky, though.)
