Watching someone else is by far the most effective way to pick up a new skill. It's heart-warmingly inspiring, whilst make yourself feel just about inadequate enough to get mobilised. An issue can arise when they are demonstrating the skill facing you - doubling your ineptitude by taking up all your brain space trying to do it backwards. A quick an easy solution is the tactile Titanic-esque demonstrative from behind (preferably female as the 'little spoon'). This usually also leads to sex, always a plus.
