I even printed out instructions etc. and it is still difficult. I’m always fascinated by videos like these because I can never get it right.

It's trial and error but once you have it you've got a measure for life - assuming your arms don't grow. The second biggest hurdle for me is shaping the knot. All of these tutorial sites fall down when they get to the end - they just say "now tighten the knot". But if you pull it wrong it screws the whole thing up. I've found it important to "visualise" the knot shape the entire way through the tying. You've gotta get that "bison horns" bit right by getting the to side corect before you make the final "front" knot. I've found it important to make sure both ends of the tie are pointing straight down throughout the process, rather than holding them out to the side, as it helps for the right shape. Also I wrap the final "front" knot quite tightly so it is pretty much almost already tight when I thread the fat end down. It means I have to thread it through the "eye of a needle", so to speak, but if I simply rely on pulling tight a loose knot it always screws the shape for me... maybe I just need practice. For me this makes a nice fat triangular knot, rather than the boxy trapezoid I often see in Windsor knot tutorials.
