Learning PLL
Permuting the Last Layer
Moving on from 4-Look Last layer is a tough step for me: many more algorithms to be learned and I'm really not very good at that! I think the thing that has ushered me on is the fact that during a timed solve I can recognise a number of PLLs but I have to use 2-Look because I can't risk messing up with a failed unfamiliar PLL. This is frustrating and frustration is a great motivator for change!
The good thing about 2-Look PLL is that I already know 6 PLLs and they're strongly imprinted on my mind!
Having Dan Harris' "Speedsolving The Cube" book handy I'll start by learning the PLL algorithms that he recommends however, I've already found a J-Perm(b) that I prefer (the T-Perm and both J-Perms are needed for the original Pochmann BLD method).
Being the geek that I am, I've created some nice printable diagrams...
The PNG versions are shown here - each page is A5 for portability!

The first set is the 2-Look edges and corner PLLs that I already know. Next is the remaining PLLs from Dan's book starting with the CCW A-Perm.
The J-Perm(b) that I'm learning is different the the one in the diagram (TODO: add here)
The last page has those scary G-Perms! There is a good video by badmephisto on how to quickly recognise the various PLLs: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qBYycb7hR4Y
