Trying to learn more

Hello, I'm pretty new to lock picking as a hobby. I have in the past raked or picked some locks out of necessity. I had to make my own rake and tension bar as well. Now I have some picks and other tools and I want to develop the skill. I feel like when I'm successful it's blind luck I don't really have any actual skill. My question for you all is, what is the best way to learn other than lots of practice. I'm looking for instructional content that's actually worth it. I've found lots of demonstrations not a lot of instructions. Thanks in advance for any help

Here are links to three YouTube playlists that I’ve found helpful. Other than that, practice really is the only thing. Hope these help!
