Always learn from another turner

After you have watched a video several times, mute the sound and watch the turners movements (body and tools). Do this until you can fully associate what they say with what they do. At the lathe, this makes it much easier to execute the cut you want to make. Maybe pick one turner to study thoroughly before moving to the next one.
Good luck
