I don't like long tutorials, I learn almost everything on my own. For example, with skinning, I just read threads in this particular part of the forums, and with what I read and learned I got the tools I needed and fooled around until I figured it out.

Self-teaching and experimentation (no tutorials, no textbooks, etc.).

I used to be a level-maker before I got into modelling and that probably helped me to understand some of the concepts of modeling.
