how do you practice with the tutorials when it's so many steps to remember

Another option is to have a pen and pad handy so you can write down key words and steps to jog your memory when doing. I prefer to stop and rewind myself though

Try to visualize and work with " the key words technique " to remember the main parts of  the tutorial ...Then view the details of  all that you saw  after .... I am the one who's working this way and writing before practicing (and I practice a lot !) and it works....... 

Stop - rewind - try - stop - rewind - try - stop.... Repeat until it sinks in. Another suggestion is try several artists so you can find one that suits you best. Not every voice works. Some will make me sleepy or dreamy and I find I have to listen over and over - then others are engaging and easy for me to comprehend.

Double let screens can help! But not everyone has that. Good thing for minimize!

Pause the videos while you work through the steps.

For structured training, look at Lynda.com courses.  The instructors break things down into smaller bites.  You get a course with several short videos on a given topic so you can absorb what is being taught.   And best of all, Lynda.com courses are reviewed by peers for accuracy.    YouTube is hit & miss.

I use 2 monitors for such situations.

If your system does not have dual monitors, try running the tutorials on a laptop or other device while doing the tutorial on the main computer.

If you lack the hardware to do that, you can always burn the tutorials to DVD and use a regular television.

And if that isn't possible, there is always the option of resizing your windows so you can see both at once.  You lose a lot of screen "Real Estate" that way, but if all else fails, that's an option.

And never forget about the good old Pause button for video playback when switching your focus back and forth.

Hope that helps!  Good luck with the toots
