This guy here does the best ones: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCVRNwNB...5bR398qilw
He did an old, very long running series starting 4 years ago, episode-by-episode tutorials. He re-started the series from #1 about 4 months ago. You can pick which one you wish to follow.
Now, personal tips from me:
If you have a second monitor, have this open so you can use the searchbar: http://wiki.garrysmod.com/page/Main_Page
Don't bother with notepad++ and making the scripts then putting them in your GMod folder, USE LUAPAD! Go into a singleplayer world and use luapad! If you want to save a script with it, you still can.
Run GMod in Windowed Noborder mode! This means you can easily tab out instantly AND you can interact with second monitor too whilst having the game up.
Dare to differ from tutorials and try your own stuff out, too.
If you have a friend that knows lua, don't be affraid to ask for help. I'm lucky that the bae knows LUA amazingly, and can help me.
Although it can be hard, it's worth learning, don't give up.
A good way of learning is think of something that you want to do, start basic, like a derma window with a button that prints "hi" in the console or something.
Serverside scripts and Clientside scripts are different! They are infact, different in quite a few ways. Most tutorials teach clientside, which is good for addons but if you're wanting to make your own gamemode or server plugins, you need to learn BOTH.
If you need any other help and you don't have anyone to speak to, message me on steam ([TG] OliviaKX) and I'll get in contact with someone.
