Here is Tomo's comment:
"Thanks so much for subscribing to my Guitar Wisdom. Which demos?"
Thank you so much for sharing!
Which demo video are you talking about?
I would love to make more fun lessons!
Hi Mr Fujita thank you so mush for caring and for the wonderful lessons! i was actually about to jam with one friend and i really liked the backing track 1 very much and i was wondering if its some lesson devoted to this but now i found it in the blues section bminor blues and i can play most of it! Also i have found a version of the demo 2 at the applied theory! I guess slowly if you progress in the end you will be able to play the core of most of them! Thank you again for the great content.

Demo 2

Thank you so much for answering! Yes for the Bminor! the other demo that i referred was the number 032 It's the second in order on funkyjazz demos! If I had 2 new questions, problems that i encounter in my guitar journey are.
1) sometimes in some songs i struggle to find a correct stumming to play along! i can find the changes and try to play simple single down strums to count the songs but when i try to use more complex strums that are more like the drums i am getting confused! Also when i stop the song and try freely my strums and sing the songs its sounds to fit with the melody in my ears but when all the other components happen simultaneously i can't really flow so good!
2) I can't really recognise chords if i put a backing track with 4 simple chords and stop following the order it would be very difficult after to understand what chord is in the background! Only sometimes i feel the root chord and that the sequence start again! If you could give me some practical wisdom to improve at this difficulties that would awesome!
Thank you for everything.

You're very welcome! Thanks for explaining the details.
1) Rhythm Guitar - I highly recommend to practice R 3 7 Swing Groove! That what I suggested to John Mayer when he was a student. Working on technique... not necessary sounds similar to any performances that you like. Technique is supposed to be super boring & super dry!
2) Ear Training! One string approach & learn more triads! I teach this to any levels at Berklee! This will give you ability to figure out any chords that you hear... most people think they need to learn more chords!
3) When you have any trouble or any struggles... that's not a real problem at all!
Before that subject or topic... you need to prepare more foundation!
4) Supplement video that I want you to watch.
