Is there an easier way to select multiple faces?

[LIQUIEED]

I've been using Blender for quite a long time and I still can't fiqure out if there's an easier way to select multiple faces in edit mode.

If you have any thoughts or ideas then feel free to comment. If you need more clarification on what I'm trying to ask then you can also comment. Until then, I'll just have to keep on holding shift and right click until I get an answer.

Press C

Hold LMB so it selects faces that are under cursor
MMB to deselect
Use Mouse Wheel to change cursor size.
RMB to complete selection.

Also, press L to select neighbour faces that are connected to face under cursor.

Thank you for the fast reply, sure enough it worked.

C for circle select, as mentioned

L for linked verts, as mentioned

B for box select, left click and drag

Alt + rightclick on an edge to select that whole edge loop

Ctrl + alt + rightclick to on an edge to select the face loop perpendicular to that edge

Holding shift down with those last two will let you select multiple edge or face loops

The "A" key will deselect everything selected, or select every vertex if nothing is selected
