I find you learn redstone by doing, not by watching tutorial videos. That said, I find the best way to learn is to look up tutorials on a specific redstone contraption, not a general tutorial. After doing a few of these and messing around with the mechanics by yourself too, you start to get a feel for redstone engineering. It can take a little while to grasp the basics though. Hope this helps!
I'd say start by browsing the Wiki tutorials on redstone, and then just go on to make some contraptions that seem useful. Farms cover a variety of topics and components with an obvious payoff, so building a few farms can be helpful. Some of my standbys are:
A chicken farm that will automatically hatch about 64 chickens at a time, and then let them refill the egg dispensers before you slaughter them.
A cobblestone generator that gives you four pillars of cobblestone that regrow while you mine them.
A simple kelp farm that provides a steady supply of fuel, and occasional dollops of experience. (video)
Item sorters can also be helpful.
Piston doors and bridges are mostly for show but can be fun. If you're really ambitious and have lots of slime or honey blocks, you could even get into flying machines.
I did some CraftTweaker scripts for Mystical Agriculture. They fill in a couple of small gaps in MA, and also let you make or duplicate not only vanilla plants, but the blocks, plants and wood from Quark and Biomes O'Plenty. Also spawn eggs for most vanilla mobs! The scripts are here on Github.
Where can I learn redstone mechanics and how everything works? Send me a tutorial series link or just explain if you want to help

Try this vid it helped me with the mechanics
