.Ummmmmmm..... Wow, just wow.
It could have been way better.
And titling the video "Tutorial" is a bad idea.
It should be titled "Four Frame Walk Cycle Tutorial" or something along those lines.
The tutorial itself show's a bad way to animate a four frame walk cycle (Because you showed it's ok to have the Minifig's head bob around endlessly.)
Plus the camera was out of focus on the Minifig.
And there's hundred's of these tutorials out there.

It should be titled "Four Frame Walk Cycle Tutorial"
Agreed with skwizitanee on that one. I use the more efficient 6-frame walk cycle. When I need a figure to run I use the 4-frame. I just don't want newbies to learn the 4-frame and then stick with that forever.
I forgot to add the 4 Frame Vs. 6 Frame part.
And that's exactly right, Lot's of newbies do stick to a 4 Frame Walk Cycle, which make's there animation seem a little suckish...

First off, it's LEGO. It's also LEGO in plural, not ''legos''.
The tutorial itself was alright, you could understand all that happened. Although, some of the tutorial was incorrect, and you should probably take yourself a little more time to get into the walk-cycle.
As I saw, the minifigures torso bended most of the time, which is a common problem. The minifigure's torso should not bend at any time.
And the arms, they shouldn't be moving that fast, or that much per frame. The hand should ease in, and ease out. Too much of a movement per frame would make it look confusing.
You get the point of the tutorial, but it was defently not flawless.

For comparison, would someone post a 6-frame walk tutorial? 
I suppose I could.
Anybody wanna narrate for me?
I have a suckish mic.

Another suggestion: Maybe you should show what the end result looks like.
If you watch the end, then you'll see.
