I think I'll have the best answer for you here. I AM a destiny raid sherpa. With hundreds of players taught by me and my team, who also once learned from me.
Yes, the best way for a new, returning, or solo player to learn a raid (or multiple raids) is to seek a sherpa or at least someone willing to TEACH the raid. We were doing 15 DSC raids in a day back during beyond light and I've done almost 300 of that raid alone, with nearly 90 sherpa runs.
We have groups that are readily available, patient, and willing to talk you through what's happening and why.
Find a sherpa and they'll be happy to teach you. I also run an xbox sherpa discord that anyone is welcome to join and ask for help (although we are prioritizing teaching our senior players this week so they're all trained up)

Ayy another pog sherpa. I'm a sherpa as well. I don't have the same stats as I don't have the free time I used to, but I used to sherpa Wrath of the Machine and such. I taught a clan VoG yesterday even though I had all my clears done (mostly cause I enjoyed the raid, but helping them was a bonus)

Thank you for the reply. I appreciate the response and information. I should say, I never want to be carried. After reading your previous post, I now understand the difference between teaching and carrying. I simply want to learn the mechanics, roles and suggested loadouts/subclasses............ I will NEVER want to be carried......just taught. Although Youtube channels are good they're one way communication whereas I like to ask questions and hear someone else's opinion or recommendation when I'm learning. Trial by error sometimes but other times its good to speak with more experienced people. To summarise, I am more than happy to pull my weight in any coop activity, but when it comes to raids I just don't know how. Cheers.
