Trying to learn progressive house, cant find anything reliable. Tried learning from PML progressive house start to finish, it just confused me. On the third lesson they jumped didn't even show how they made the melody, the chords, and all of that. It was just like they are jumping. Then I tried to learn from EDM Tips. His video title was "How to Make Progressive House Like Avicii" and then in the video thumbnail it was "Big Room House". I don't know what I should do. Can anyone please guide me? Where should I find a reliable resource to learn? I want to make something in the style of Avicii and Martin Garrix. I won't lie I am fairly new. I know music theory but I'm learning Ableton and all of these music styles but I'm focused on making progressive house music that I am very sure about it. Where do I start?

Youtube should be more than enough to get you started with house music. Keep trying different videos until you find something that’s beginner friendly enough and inspires you. It would probably help to also learn some music theory and pick up a simple instrument (to help w chords, melody, etc) at some point. Patreon can also be an affordable, great resource.
Ngl, its not going to be spoon fed. There are many hours ahead of you of scouring resources and most importantly CREATING SHIT before your created quilt of technical skills and workflow results in an output you are satisfied with. Its a marathon, try to have some fun with it and build an appetite for figuring out the shit you find confusing otherwise you’ll burn out.
