Hate those black Gimp themes.
While multiply and value modes work in very different ways, in this particular case I do not think it matters. I tend towards multiply.
When stuck on a sequence of steps like that tutorial, my advice is isolate the steps so the various interactions are easily seen and experimented with.
Black base layer
Grey text layer
black to transparent gradient layer.
Experiment with the layer modes and turn the base layer off to better see the effect.
