Videos on youtube are generally really bad, instead try:

Interlopers
VALVᴱ Developer Community
Halfwit-2
EditLife.net

The above are good resources, you can find more in

The Mappers' Encyclopedia

And when you've learned how to map, you need to learn how to optimise your map.

Google videos are good for getting a basic idea of the Hammer interface, anything more than that though, no.

It's Source SDK, you do have a source game right, like HL2 or something?

Wait, first of all, to make garrysmod run, you need a Source game (HL2, EP1, EP2, CSS, TF2).
Also, how the heck dont people know if they got a pirated garrysmod?
Simple question, did you buy it or not?
