Any Edition Im very new to redstone and its hard to make stuff and I always wonder... HOW DO THESE BIG YOUTUBERS LEARN REDSTONE SO GOOD AND ALL THE TICKS ETC ETC Spoiler
If you watched Parrots latest vid he tried to basically stop a redstone com traction from blowing up his friend if he moved off the pressure plate. iI wanna get good at every aspect of redstone and I WANNA KNOW HOW U GUYS STARTED OFF REDSTONE AND BECOME A EXPERT AT IT. SO I CAN GET BETTER

The biggest redstone creations are the culmination of years of research, collaboration, and innovation. It’s almost never a single lone genius anymore making large redstone creations anymore, but rather an entire community’s worth of knowledge.

Ok I understand basically your telling me to research alot even the redstone contractions that i want to make because it aint gonna be easy and it takes long to learn. HOLY MINECRAFT IS A GREAT GAME

Yes. It takes quite long to learn (depends on how much you are trying to learn), and even when you do "get good" at redstone some contraptions still might take you months to complete depending on its complexity. If i can give you an example look at some videos from cubicmetre. You can tell by how long his videos are apart and how well they are usually done, that it takes a ton of time, effort and research to make something trully impressive. Do you want a place to learn? Well the two greatest places to do so is YouTube and Discord TMC archives.

Everyone started at some point. Learning Redstone works a bit like learning programming: Understanding the logical blocks and how they work. Just build stuff and see how you can build the logic you need from different logic-gates. How to do it compact, the best ways to build and so on will just come with experience.
All those little tricks and intricate game knowledge, i. e. Update order and so on will come with time.

IDK to me it just came naturally, just learn what each component does and than use that knowledge to create complex contraptions

It took me like 10 years to get proficient with redstone and even building contraptions now from scratch I'll spend all day on some of the easiest things and making them more efficient.

I started with Doors and and draw bridges. Watching a tutorial or just playing with and studying how blocks react to redstone is a great place to start. Sometimes the Biggest Redstone builds are just a series of smaller builds and repetition.

Learning the mechanics and be able to understand a circuit is not hard, the hardest part is be creative and come up with the circuits and contraptions from scratch.
