To truly enjoy this hobby, I need to learn electronics. Any book recs?

I am at square zero in terms of understanding this stuff, and I am tired of navigating by Braille.

I want to find a class or a book that can give me at least the basics of how these circuits work to produce sound.

I would appreciate any suggestions of books, channels or classes that can help.

My complaint about Robert Harley's book(s) is that he doesn't explain how components work internally (at least, in the books I've seen).

It is taught at a “for dummies” level but is quite an incredible wealth of information.
