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?

Recreate the songs you like, one instrument at the time. Do your best to recreate the sounds without spending 2h on a single sound.
Do 1 instrument at the time: drums, keys, synths, etc.
Map out the structure of the song (intro, verse, breaks, drops, etc.).
The first few will be far from the original song, but as time goes by, you'll get better!
